[Fin] The Carousel of Chaos (role madness murdergame)

[Caret]

Valania exams Bronwyn. They looked strange, even by her world's standards. Maybe they're just a changeling. She doesn't know.

"Hey! You look snazzy, with your watery hair and all. Surprised nobody has drawn attention to the sheep tail on my back. Are Earth humans really that oblivious? Oh well."

[noodlesnook]

"Earth? Where exactly did you come from, again?"

[Caret]

"I come from Sierra, the world of the undying wind. It's a dimension parallel to Earth."

[Oggy123]

"Sierra, huh?" said Kirby. "What's it like there, poyo?"

[wingedcatgirl]

And with zero warning, all the lights go out.

"Night night, everyone! Sleep soundly, soundly!"

---

The sun will rise... uh... in a few days idk i have zero sense of time lately.
(No night actions are needed at this time. You remember how this went in MitM2.)

[wingedcatgirl]

The lights click back on.

"It's begun, begun!"

The spotlights twirl around for a bit before finally focusing on a spot below the tightrope...

... revealing one dead sheepgirl.

Valania Pecozotti, the sacrifice, has been killed.

[Florien]

AAAAAAAAAAAAA I KNEW IT THEY'RE GOING TO HARVEST OUR ORGANS

Avril immediately starts panicking.

>Check for signs of organ harvesting

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

IYes, it's about time! And we have a dead sheep girl! That's baaaaahhhhhhd news. They really put the wool over our eyes, didn't they? Who could have committed this shear crime? We'll find out as we begin.... investigation time!

> How did Sheep Girl die?

[awe921]

"w-wha-wuh-what's with all the screaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SOMEONE'S DEAD"

> Try to not freak out

> TRY TO NOT FREAK OUT CHECK IF SHE'S ALIVE OR SOMETHING

[Kennifer]

"Oh no... somebody actually got killed!"

Ignoring the inevitable obnoxious "told you so's" from Jack and possibly Candy, Lithium is going to

> check for cause of death?

[Whistle]

Autumn wakes up from her sleep, still stuck to the cage...
Only to find the lamb's corpse.
...Holy... wh—what the f--
She unhooks herself from the cage—surprisingly easily—puts her arm back on, and decides to
>check for a pulse, then signs of wounds

[Caret]

>Check for signs of organ harvesting (@Florien)

There's no visible knife wounds on Valania's body, so it's highly unlikely.

> How did Sheep Girl die? (@"Lee the Hammer"), > check for cause of death? (@Kennifer)

Valania's entire body is covered in bruises and dried blood, but the bruising seems to be concentrated around her neck for the most part. Upon closer inspection, her parafleece is missing.

> TRY TO NOT FREAK OUT CHECK IF SHE'S ALIVE OR SOMETHING (@awe921)

There's no pulse coming from Valania, nor is she breathing. She is most definitely dead.

[awe921]

"i- i-i- but- you were alive!"
"Y-You were alive yesterday, I... I what-"

Without knowing what to do, Khom just... turns around and sits down, wondering truly What The Hack's going on.

[Florien]

Right. So. I... ahh... umm... I... ahhh... eeeeeEEEeEEeEEEEeEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Avril continues with its panicking, but does try to contribute by >seeing if it can locate that parafleece to see if it was used to do strangulation or something

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Bruises, blood, a missing parafleece. All the ingredients of a great murder mystery. Is the parafleece itself a MacGuffin? Was the sheep girl strangled, maybe even beaten? Everyone here except Candy was skeptical about this being a killing game and now look what happened. None of you all took us seriously and yet, here we are. May I suggest next time that if you all get into a situation like this, be a little bit more savvy. Now anyway, onto the investigation!

> Does Valania look like she was beaten to death? With hands? Maybe some kind of blunt object?

[Kennifer]

Lithium is still ignoring Jack. She will

>look for signs of strangulation

[Florien]

I wasn't skeptical, JACK. Your tiny human body is going to get SHATTERED, and that'll be the death I... approve... of...! And then they'll probably use our bodies to build a skeleton army or something, if not organ harvesting... Oh.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

That.... sounds pretty cool, actually. Just have them kill us all and we'd all be revived into living bones. We'd be armed with armor and swords as we would go and pillage everything we see. And one of us can ride you as you fly down and incinerate entire villages as the rest of us slice the living to shreds. Would that not make for good entertainment?

[PointMaid]

Candy nods approvingly at the dragon.

Naturally, we were right. This is a good mystery, though, and our viewers will want it solved. Let's get to it...

> Candy will look around for what could have caused this

[Florien]

I
DON'T
START
FIRES!!!

Avril runs at Jack, then it >tries to bite his arm off or something similarly violent

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Whoa, there!, Jack says as he >tries to evade the dragon attack. Now that's the enthusiasm I like to see. But let's save that for the killers, hmm? You can eat, scratch or burn them as you wish. In fact, I'd love to see it. Big, scary dragon doing the executing. Maybe the host can work something out if they wish...

[Caret]

> Locate! That! Parafleece! (@Florien, @PointMaid)

You find the parafleece sprawled out in an animal cage. It's covered in loose skin flakes.

> How did Val die? (@"Lee the Hammer", @Kennifer)

A large ring of bruises surrounds Valania's neck, suggesting she was strangled.

---

FIGHT! (@Florien, @"Lee the Hammer")

Avril attempts to bite Jack's arm off, but the commentator manages to evade the dragon at the last second. Avril keeps going and slams into the walls of the tent. Ouch.

[Whistle]

Autumn tries to think of something to do. She scratches her metal arm.

>Look around for other evidence—weapons, ashes , anything

[PointMaid]

Good idea, actually, Jack... showy! The viewers will like that. What do you think, Avril? Would you be up for it?

Candy doesn't seem all that concerned that Jack and Avril are currently fighting.

...What's with the skin flakes, though?

Candy >Gets a better look at the skin flakes. Any indication what species they're from or where they came from otherwise?

[awe921]

... skin? That's...

Khom notices Candy talking about the skin flakes. He walks up to Candy, > looking at the skin flakes alongside her.
