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

>Apply water to Lithium. Does she react similarly? (@Florien)

No, but she is really pissed at you.

[PointMaid]

...

Guess I'd better do the due diligence.

> Check her memories to see if she remembered seeing anything like the threads? ...Did she hear somebody say 'Have you seen this before'?

[Oggy123]

"What sort of threads are these, poyo?"

> Observe the threads more. And after that, are there any similar threads in the area?

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Jack guffaws at Avril pouring the water on Lithium's hair before he

> tries to remember: does anyone here among the living have or had those weird worm thread things?

[Kennifer]

"Does my hair look like a thread? Just because it went kinda cyan and my hair's turquoise... ugh... this is going to take forever to dry. I wish it repelled water, but it does not."

[Florien]

It was... an... emergency...

>Apply water to Fourto, she's the other most likely candidate.

[Zanreo]

"H-hey! Those things aren't from me!"

[Kennifer]

"Okay… I'm okay. Now then… what happens if you get water on the parafleece? Or on Valania? The threads could be from the victim, not a killer, right?"

>She's gonna try that. Possibly by dripping water on them from herself lol.

[Caret]

> Take a look at where Lithium got splashed to confirm it didn't actually do any actual damage (@PointMaid)

Lithium doesn't appear to be actually hurt, only pissed off.

>Apply water to Fourto, she's the other most likely candidate. (@Florien)

It's hard to tell considering how glitchy Fourto is, but you don't see any "worm" threads coming from them.

> where did the threads come from? (@PointMaid, @"Lee the Hammer", @Oggy123)

You start to remember something, but your recollection skills ultimately prove to be unnecessary, as...

>She's gonna try that. Possibly by dripping water on them from herself lol. (@Kennifer)

Nothing much happens when you drip water on Valania, but when you drop water onto the parafleece, it starts to glow with cyan runes, and leaks magical energy that surely enough, is colored cyan. It also grows in size until Lithium is draped in a big cloth.

[Oggy123]

"I've never seen clothing like that, poyo!"
"So, now what?"

[NebulaChimera2211]

In response to the replies to her question: Ah. A shame...

Leonie watches in amazement at the parafleece.

She quickly recovers.
That solves the mystery of who the threads were from; the killer's prey. Has anyone picked up the scent on who the killer is? ...Any ideas?

[Zanreo]

"Ooh, cool!" Fourto says as it stares in amazement. "Wish my scarf could do stuff like that! Anyway.."

>examine parafleece for any signs of anything

[Oggy123]

> Examine the surrounding area.

[Kennifer]

"That solves the mystery of the threads, but doesn't really get us much closer to the killer... or killers."

[awe921]

"... so we've learned that these belong to the victim. and that we're also being held hostage by some... uh, i think i'll need some time to process this, but apparently we're being held hostage by characters from deltarune."

(does anyone even play that anymore...?)

[wingedcatgirl]

"I never stopped!"

>examine parafleece for any signs of anything (@Zanreo)
It looks a bit stretched out, maybe??

> Examine the surrounding area. (@Oggy123)
You're still in a big circus tent.

[Zanreo]

"Ok, this thing looks a bit... stretched, I guess? Was it always like that, or..."

>examine cage where parafleece was found

[PointMaid]

...Yeah, I'm trying but not seeing a connection to the killer here. Yet, anyway.

[PointMaid]

On the bright side, I'm sure our viewers at home are having a good time trying to figure this out! Send us a postcard if you have any theories, fans!

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Yes, I'm not seeing much of a connection myself. But perhaps the viewing audience might be able to clue us in.

[Kennifer]

"And how do you expect this alleged 'viewing audience' to do that when there's no phone signals or anything, hmm?"

Lithium thought that if anyone was watching this at home they should try to call someone to help get them all out of the tent instead of being sadistic fuckasses, but she didn't voice this part aloud.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Listen, Puke-hair, I don't need you spoiling everyone's willing suspension of disbelief, so keep your mouth shut and play along! It's my turn in the spotlight and I'm here to look good. I don't need some amateur ruining my moment. Had enough of that already from Candy, Jack whispered in Lithium's ear before stepping back away from her.

Sorry, everyone. Some people don't have their heads in the program, Jack said, making a brief glance at Lithium. But we are still a part of a murder mystery. We found the weird parafleece, but no leads. Again, if you have any ideas, please dial in at 1-800-YOU-KILL. That's 1-800-YOU-KILL. Operators are standing by.

[PointMaid]

And ready to take your calls! (Ah, yes, thank you producers if you'd make sure that's open and working there...)

[awe921]

Khom can't help but glare daggers at the showman duo. Hmph...

"well, we *do* have those jesters to ask. maybe they're our audience or something."

[Kennifer]

"Puke hair? Oh just for that I hope they kill you next. Unless it was you and you're just trying to cover with smoke, mirrors, and fake phone numbers."
