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

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Well, I don't know where else to look. Unless someone else has another idea, I think we've covered all the ground here. And no one is sticking out to me as a possible killer. This is the part of the show where we decide to just move on, isn't it?

[Caret]

Roxuls pulls out a scroll and starts reading from it.

"The Rouxls (pronounced Rules) art easy to Graspe, but hard to mastereth! Thoust worms art in a GAME OF MURDERE! GAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA! But it appeareth thou have already guessedeth this. Anyways, there are threeth rouges of Chaos (Bad Guys) amongst your rankes! When the lights goeth Dark, Chaos will condemnest an unfortunateth Town Peasant (Good Guy) to the cold embrace of Death. At daybreak, thou shalt Investigateth the corpse of the departedth Soul for EVIDENCE!"

"Once you havest sherlocked enough clues, thoust will usest the Power of Democracy to sentenceth a suspecte to the Gallows! Will thou serveth the killere Justice? Or will thou Spille the bloodeth of an innoceneth on Falseth pretenses? Remember that you cannot Abstain the voteth!

*With A Fewst Exceptions

The Game will end in a Town Victorie wheneth all 3 Chaos agents are putest down like Bad Doggies. But if the Bad Guys outnumberseth the Townies, then Chaos shalt REIGNETH SUPREME!"

"Also, eache of thou possessest two special Poweres! You shoulde already Knowest what they areth. Use your poweres to shaketh up the Game to your stragetik advantageth!"

[Kennifer]

"One, can you say that in normal person talk? Two, those idiots--" She motions to Jack and Candy. "--don't actually have a 'viewing audience', do they? This isn't being broadcast, right? They're just talking to their imaginary friends or whatever?"

[Florien]

WHAT CLUES?! THERE! IS! NO! EVIDENCE! WE MIGHT AS WELL GUESS!

>Apply water to everyone to see if anyone has parafleece remnants on them. Surely that'll help.

[Kennifer]

"Hey! You already splashed me, remember? Oh and Fourto, you splashed them too."

[wingedcatgirl]

>Apply water to everyone to see if anyone has parafleece remnants on them. Surely that'll help. (@Florien)
Sploosh! ... Everyone's wet. No signs of parafleece on anyone, though.

"You might have to take a guess, guess! It's too bad you can't even find anyone safe!"

[PointMaid]

I have to admit I haven't been seeing any evidence leading me to even narrow things down, either.

...I support the Confession Booth, but that's just good TV. It's probably a long shot.

...Candy tries to maintain her composure while being soaked

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

My jacket costs more than you probably make in a year. You better hope it doesn't get ruined, dragon! Jack sneers as he dries it off.

Now, the only thought I had is Leonie pointing fingers at Bronwyn there. Could there truth? Bronwyn just not doing anything in fear of finding anything incriminating? Or is it just mere laziness like a couple other people have shown so far?

[Caret]

"One, can you say that in normal person talk? Two, those idiots--" She motions to Jack and Candy. "--don't actually have a 'viewing audience', do they? This isn't being broadcast, right? They're just talking to their imaginary friends or whatever?"

"Number Oneth! I am speakingest in a Uncorrupteth forme of English that you unculturede worms seem to take Offenseth to! Number Twoth! I am not Obligatedeth to share thateth with thou."

[PointMaid]

...Please. If we were right about it being a killing game, I'm sure they're recording and broadcasting it. It just makes sense.

[Florien]

Right, you want me to guess? YOU want ME to GUESS?

Avril has had enough. It's miserable and about to stab someone, and smells faintly of gasoline.

/Vote Jack Kilborne

There. I'll concede to your conceit of it not being possible to escape from here until arbitrary conditions are met. Moving on. Torture him. Make it miserable. No amount of logic will get us out of this, so I'm just going to pick someone who I don't like. I hope your suit gets stained, small one.

A small amount of smoke comes out of Avril's nostrils.

[Kennifer]

"I don't think that's even how 'ye olde english' works."

Lithium is grumbling and trying to wring water out of her hair. Again.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Ooh, the big bad dragon is now showing its fangs, isn't it? I bet you'd love to burn me to cinders or eat me right now, don't you? In spite of your little game, I won't for for you.... yet. Though I do wonder if you're just going for the big bad TV man because that seems to be the easiest option? I did inquire about Leonie, who at least brings up a good point. Like I don't know who to go for right now. But if I wanted to vote someone off just because I didn't like them, I'd choose someone randomly myself. But I have no just cause as of yet. Still, if anyone has any ideas, I'm open to listen.

[Whistle]

Autumn, splashed with water, is kind of getting a little bit angry now, barely holding it in. Her arm isn't working...

So—so we're voting now...

/vote The Firebug

You're just like my brother... it's, it's never your fault, is it?!

[Florien]

My fault. Your fault. I've done nothing. I DON'T. START. FIRES! I make that very clear. You think I'd get burn scars if I thought... If I knew where the fires were coming... from? But NO ONE BELIEVES ME! It's "Dragon = Fires". I don't accuse you of stealing my... my... hypothetical chickens! And you're a fox! You ever get accused of... of stealing chickens? I didn't THINK SO! There will NEVER BE just cause. I don't go around accusing humans of making things... all... clammy, or of running for... for... multiple days... days without stopping... in a Criminal Way! But sure, dragon speciesism is still acceptable, I guess. We're all rich and live in lairs on big piles of money which we earned by ahhh.... raid... ahh... plundering impoverished villages somehow, and start fires.

Avril snaps its teeth at Autumn.

Anyway I'm bound to Kirby and Ribbon, who can verify this. Kill me, you kill them too. So there, get off me, small one. I'm SO TIRED of DEALING with the FIRE ACCUSATIONS.

[Whistle]

...sorry...
/unvote

[Oggy123]

"Yes, i'm afraid. If the dragon dies, we would too."

"Gulp."

"Perhaps we should look for other suspects. Maybe we should interrogate that merperson Leonie talked about."

[noodlesnook]

"Merperson...?" Bronwyn looks at themself.
"Anyways, back to the point, I don't think we can come to a conclusion on anything just yet. But if I have to..."

/vote jack

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

What's this? I was at least willing to give the dragon a chance to explain itself and I think it's on the level for now. But you... the fact you haven't done much in the investigation made me wonder about you. And the fact you're willing to blindly dogpile on me makes me wonder about you. I think I have my first suspect.

/vote Bronwyn

[noodlesnook]

"If you must know, I've been conducting an investigation of my own, at my own pace. What do you have to say about your twisted 'murder-game' fantasies, Kilborn?"

Their tail twitches and their water-tentacles suddenly seem more tentacle-like than hair-like.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

I'm an entertainer, thank you very much. And I'm pretty savvy about death-games when I step into them. I like the excitement of these games. Clearly most of you don't feel that way. I'm just trying to sell this to everyone the best I can. Tell me, is that really worth killing me over? If you vote me off, are you going to go after Candy next? She's been doing the same thing I have too. You suspicious of her as well? But onto my point, I'd be willing to give you the benefit of the doubt on the lack of investigation because some people here haven't shown up and did their part. I know that alone doesn't mean they're killers. But what raised my red flag about you is how you're just willing to dogpile your vote on me. And why would you do that, hmm? Maybe you're one of the killers, and you see that as an easy way out to kill an innocent, right? Look at the dragon. Sure it voted for me blindly just because it didn't like me and it just had to choose someone. However, it did explain its role. And Kirby and Ribbon at least confirmed the story. You, however, don't have much in the way of an alabi.

[Florien]

If you don't have someone who can cover for you, so someone joined to you or... neighbors in some way, I suppose. don't reveal ANYTHING. It's a trick to get you to expose your value so they can pick you off in descending order of usefulness for surviving. That and it's Jack asking it, so I wouldn't go along with what he says. On about his suit, and me starting fires.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Says the dragon who's done nothing but cowered until the bleachers when it first arrived. Not to mention how you willingly revealed your link to Kirby & Ribbon. No one held you at gunpoint and forced you to do so you know. Look, I already said I was willing to believe you're on the level. And if you think I'm so untrustworthy, what evidence do you have against me besides being the big, bad TV guy, hmm?

[noodlesnook]

Bronwyn casts a quick look at Avril.

[Florien]

Well, no one has any evidence. I don't like you, that's reason enough. You've been mean to me the whole time.

Besides... I think it's fair to hide a bit and panic... When you've been... been kidnapped and put in a tent with strong walls. If you really really really... really... really... want aaaaaaaaahhhh evidence imeaniguessicouldsaythatyouseemprettyintomurder.


It's not even evidence. But if you think attitude is enough, there... if you... think... there... if you think attitude is enough, there it is.
