Life's A Beach

[To the ones investigating Gundham's death, Peanut quickly calls out:] Hey guys? I know you like, totally hate my guts right now, but like... Can I get your opinions on something?

[Oggy123]

"Well, Sandy's hair was clearly plucked, apparently, so someone might've framed her..."

[Kafkaesque]

After his extensive search turns up... nothing at all, Seth returns to the lobby, where he sits at the desk twiddling with whatever he can get his hands on as he waits for the judgements to start rolling in.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

> Reread the records (8)

You have successfully manage to determine that Amanda was in 2B, Sandy was in 7C and Gundham didn't officially get a room.

[KungFuCutbug]

[Impatient as ever, Peanut decides not to wait any longer for a response and just starts rattling off the issues she's encountered.] Okay, so I was investigating Dennis’s bedroom with Amanda, right? I found a red hair on the ground and went to compare it to her hair—she's got that like, computer-screen-bright neon red streak, right—but like, she flinched and I lost the hair and couldn't find it again, slacker. Not like, a huge big deal in the moment. So we go back outside to Dennis’s corpse, and she trips and falls on it and gets blood like, absolutely everywhere! That's why my clothes are all like, covered in it, by the by... Gonna torch this dress later, slacker... Aaanyway, so that was like, an epic fail. So we go back to his bedroom and—OOP! Her footprints are all over the place! Way more than mine, none of Dennis’s, none of anyone else's—just like, a whole bunch of Amanda’s footprints! I dunno what to do. You think those are enough to like, convict her of murder, slacker?

[Kafkaesque]

Seth nods slowly. It's not a definitive nod, but it still doesn't look too good for Amanda.

[Huney]

"... Neh, good enough for me. How bout the other guy?"

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Dan mulls it over as he lights a cigarette. "You really thought this over huh? It doesn't look good for you Amanda, but I want to check it out as well."

>head over to Dennis' room, and try to see how old the footprints are

[KungFuCutbug]

[With two separate people affirming her, Peanut decides it's alright to go ahead and /vote Amanda for the time being.] What other guy? Dennis? He's like, dead, y'know. Took a nasty switchblade slash to the throat and also had his bones all cracked to crick, slacker.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

>head over to Dennis' room, and try to see how old the footprints are (5)

You see all the footprints, though you're not entirely sure how old all of them really are.

[Huney]

"Ah? No, the... Hamsta fella. Gundam."

Still, /vote Amanda

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Two votes for Amanda. It's seven to kill her off for good.

[Kennifer]

"But I was just in there, otherwise my footprints wouldn't be all over the place. Come on, use your brains."

[KungFuCutbug]

I AM using my brain, Mandy-pants! I was just in there too and MY footprints weren't all over the place, were they, slacker?!

[Kennifer]

"Because I probably stepped and stumbled on yours when I left the room to go check the body? I mean, you didn't see Dennis's either and we know he was in there before anyone else was, so older footprints probably got covered up."

[Kafkaesque]

/vote Amanda

[MadeOfMilk]

/vote Amanda

[PointMaid]

Sorry... the footprints plus the red hair you all were talking about... I at least know that wasn't mine...

/vote Amanda

[Kennifer]

"I told you! I was in there investigating. How'd Dennis's body get outside, go look for footprints there... Hell, if that hair is mine, it could have fallen out when I was investigating. That's... Find something more concrete, if you're gonna vote for me. I mean hell... one of you is some kinda tracker for the crows right? You can see people's roles? Let me live today and check me tonight, you'll see. Please don't jump on me for being clumsy..."

[PointMaid]

Hmmm... let me think...

/take back vote for now

Procedural question. If we didn't vote for one of the murders today... would we be able to do an extra vote tomorrow? Potentially voting for three people, if two more people were killed in the night? Because otherwise we'd be giving up a chance to vote for someone.

[PointMaid]

...It would also mean giving up a chance to investigate someone else. And that's assuming they didn't get the person who was going to investigate them in the night so they wouldn't even get information. But since the roles of the dead people are revealed... they might still get convicted. And it would presumably help figure out who that person was when they have to reveal what they learned in their role, assuming the tracker didn't die.

...Is Amanda that selfless to go through with that with a high likelihood of her still being found out but helping her side? Interesting question.

[Kennifer]

"Just please... I've seen innocent people executed horribly because of botched evidence or jumping to conclusions or someone saying the wrong thing at the wrong time... I...in the other game I was in. I mean I lived, but..."

Amanda just lowers her head.

[PointMaid]

I get that. But there is a certain amount of evidence.

...And even if it is mostly a delaying tactic, it doesn't cost you anything, so why not try it.

[PointMaid]

*Looks through the list of rules she was sent on her phone* You could also be the Shadow, which would make you show as the Nephew if you're investigated by the Hacker. The Troubadour I think would be able to sus that out, though. Unless you were role-changed with someone else. There are a lot of ways you could be investigated and not come up sus even if you were, actually.
