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

[Florien]

Both dead in the same way implies it was the dualgunner, Fourto, who went for them. Therefore, it was a second killer who caused the death of Fourto.

Avril sounds fairly confident in this assessment.

Also, no fires, so now do you believe I don't start them?

[wingedcatgirl]

OH RIGHT almost forgot to mention, the Amnesiac has remembered who they are.

> Inspect knives (@noodlesnook)
They look like fairly standard throwing knives. Several of them are in the board, and several are in the bodies of Khom and Leonie.

> smell the air (@Whistle)
Smells like fire. ... There are definitely still some fires surrounding Fourto.

> Inspect the area (@Oggy123)
It is EXPLODED and ON FIRE.

[Oggy123]

"Hmmm... Didn't someone said Bronwyn was a suspect the other day? But we need to get to the bottom of this before we can decide!"

> Inspect the crater further, then the area surrounding Khommodior and Leonie

[Whistle]

I... I haven't seen fires l—like this since...

Autumn exits the cage slowly. Looks down in the crater, the charring

corpse of Fourtofourpse?

...
It's overwhelmingly hot down here. Her feet are probably stained with ash now.

She looks at Khom's corpse... but she can't look away.

W—why?!

She snaps back to reality, looks at Avril... Khom...

> inspects the ash

[Florien]

Bronwyn isn't... isn't a suspect... kirby. Jack said bronwyn was, based on nothing at all. I said we should execute jack because he was bad to me and we were given no information as to who could possibly have done the... the crime. But bronwyn isn't... isn't a suspect. Unless there's evidence that indicates that that is... that is the case. Which there isn't. If there is, I'd change my... my mind, but I can't... I can't see any evidence. For that. On the ground evidence is... is irrelevant. All of it could be faked, or real, and the interaction of... of what we can use. Is what we need to use. To know what happened.

Avril pauses for a while, sitting. its jewelry glinting in a way that's somehow the opposite of regal, its awkward sitting position looking like it should make it difficult to walk after standing due to pressure on those legs cutting off circulation. It then stands up.

I'll... I'll... humor. Humor the premise. For a bit. It won't turn... won't turn up anything. I think. But I'll humor it. If we assume fourto killed those two, the relevant killing is the one that was targeted at... at... fourto.

Avril takes a few extremely weird looking steps, then falls over, before getting back up to do what it was going to do.

>Inspect that crater. What caused the blast?

[noodlesnook]

"Yeah, Avril's right. Jack was... he was really something." They once again stare blankly into the crater.

[Oggy123]

"Well, we'd need to get to the bottom of this if we want to come to a conclusion."

[PointMaid]

Candy rubs her head as if she has a hangover, waking up and seeing the bodies.

Wow. Just... wow.

May I remind Avril that if they're basing my possible guilt on my association with Jack, that Jack was innocent? At least find something relevant if you're going to fling something at me.

> Check the board the knives are in

[Kennifer]

Lithium has been pondering a lot of this.

"Wait... Khommodior and Leonie weren't necessarily killed by a Dualgunner. Leonie was a Hider, if she was hiding behind Khom and Khom was targeted she would've been killed the same way, right?"

Her head seemed to feel a bit clearer this morning. Well, until seeing the bodies, but she hoped she'd be of more help today.

> Where did the knives come from initially, and is there anything sus in that area other than knives being missing?

[PointMaid]

That's... That's true, I suppose.

I'm still confused about the situation. If Leonie was a Mason and killed, why isn't there somebody else dead too? ...And are we to believe there were at least two distinct Masonries, or what were Avril and Kirby and Ribbon goin on about yesterday? I suppose that's plausible enough, perhaps.

[Kennifer]

"Maybe Masons are a different thing than what Avril said? I think it said it was bonded to Kirby and Ribbon and didn't mention masons. I'll have to go over it all again in my head now that my memory's working better."

[PointMaid]

That's... an interesting point. I'll have to refresh my memory, too.

[Kennifer]

"...Actually if they're bonded and not necessarily masons, do they even have to be good? Or on the same side as each other?"

[PointMaid]

...Wait a minute. I'm stupid, aren't I? Masons and Bonded are different. A Masonry doesn't cause others in the Masonry to die, does it.

Sigh. I'm slipping. I really am.

[PointMaid]

And, I looked up the rules, I don't think Bonded have to be on the same side, true.

[Oggy123]

"I just thought of something. Surely the one that got Fourto can't be the scum, assuming scum members can't kill each other."

"There could be a different faction of killers out here, poyo! ...Are there?"

"Well, we know that we should get to the bottom of this real quick!"

"And look for clues and anything suspicious!"

[Whistle]

... T—two killer teams? Like the one movie with the-- the, and the... you know? The ghost guys?

But, like, who could have killed the computer girl? Unless, like, did one of them, uh, explode after death or—or something? I—I dunno.

[Kennifer]

"I think it's like... one group of killers and at least one killer who's not associated with any group and just killing whoever? There are a lot of possibilities and I don't really like any of them."

[Florien]

There can't be. There is only one... only one murder group. Thus, the dualgunner there, or... or another, shot the... the other dragon. And shot at... Someone Else. Who got...  hot "Bus driven". I think.

[Whistle]

So, like, you're thinking that, that Computer Girl was put there instead of someone else? Then-- then who was meant to get... get killed?

[Kennifer]

"How do you know for sure there's not an unaligned killer? Do you have proof or something? These guys seem to want maximum chaos here... and I don't want to discount or overlook any possibilities."

[PointMaid]

...I would like to know your reasoning for that, if you have any, as well.

[Florien]

Because there's... There's no unaligned killer as... as far as i can tell. In the list of options there isn't one. The list of options. That. I know. About. And you also know about. Probably. idontknowwhatyouknowijustknowthatiaaaaaaaaa

Avril stops talking for a moment, to catch its breath.


Anyway I can't tell you who was meant to get killed... Based... Based on past ex... wordwordwordword experience it was probably me, but I can't be... sure. It would explain the results we got... anyway

[Florien]

Waitnoimsorryimwrongtherecouldbeaslasherimsorry

Avril panics and ducks under the nearest available cover large enough to protect it

[Kennifer]

"Maybe third party was the right word, there's the slasher... and the fanatic, that aren't part of the evil faction and can kill. Lots of things could have happened. I think it could've been that the evil faction went after Khom, and also got Leonie who was a Hider... then the third party killer happened to get one of the bad guys for us. And someone could've been bus-driven and none of those were the original targets, that's true."

Lithium sits down mid-whatever she was doing which I think was looking at where the knives had been stored prior to the kill and sighs.

"And now I'm not sure how much help my remembering things better is just yet."
