Life's A Beach

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Six votes for Amanda. One more and she will be killed off. You all better be sure.... and the same thing goes for Sandy at five votes.

[Zanreo]

"Sandy certainly... is seeming kinda suspicious..."

/vote Sandy

[Huney]

"Hubbah... Sorry, fell outta consciousness for a second. Why we goin' fer da squirrel again?"

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

And I need to mention night phase will begin at 10:30 PM CST.

[PointMaid]

We found her fur by Gundham's body. It could have been planted, but how did they get it? We confirmed that nobody broke into her room last night.

[SapphireStarblazer]

Lief, after hearing everyone put up a vote to which giant would be killed in a floor above him, decided it would be best for him to vote remotely so he wouldn't be killed by whoever the murder is. After a couple moments of pondering on the evidence, he just want with the mob and called it a night.

/vote Amanda

[Dookie]

“So it seems we have our first execution. Hmmm.....Amanda, your time has come. Come to the roof.”

Victoria goes up the stairs.

[Huney]

"Izzat enough ta kill a guy over? Already too late for Amanda, but..."

[Kennifer]

Amanda's head was bowed again, her hair-- which had since turned stark-white almost all over-- falling in her face again.

This... was it. This was it, she was going to die. Was it going to hurt, she wondered? Dumb question. She'd seen those other executions, back at that facility. They were, to put it lightly, brutal. She was shaking now, her breath coming in ragged gasps. They hadn't listened... she'd tried... oh how she'd tried, but this was it. They'd just... follow one another. Just like back then, like she had... she'd made all those mistakes then, she'd paid the price for it at the end of that game. Just like she would now.

This was the end.

They wouldn't understand. Well, most of them, anyway.

"I just... I wanted..."

She tries to catch her breath. How would they do it? Slow and painful? Quick and easy?

"I wanted the world to be more beautiful again, without... without them. Collateral damage is always to be expected with this sort of thing. Isn't it? After it was all over though... it'd be brilliant. No more gangs, no more cults..." She put a particularly nasty emphasis on that last word. "All of the bad people wouldn't be able to hurt anyone any more. I..."

She was pulling at her hair now, pulling out the red hairs, although they sprung right back up after.

"I made mistakes. I always make mistakes. Maybe I'm a mistake, I don't know. But you're all getting what you wanted and... maybe... maybe the world can still be more beautiful."

She looked up, her eyes still looking pretty freaky from the whole Virus Fragment thing, as well as bright with tears. She was shaking, terrified...

"I... I'm sorry I failed."

Who she was apologizing to wasn't clear, as she'd bowed her head again, then followed Victoria to the roof.

[Dookie]

Done in an Elevator. End Of Your Life and you're Goin’ Down

Amanda gets in the elevator. She's still Amanda.

The elevator comes up to the top floor, but the doors don't open.

Instead, the elevator comes tumbling down at 70 MPH.

If that didn't kill her, it comes up again, even faster this time, and slams Amanda onto the top of the elevator.

Then, it comes down again, even faster, slamming her to the ground.

She's barely surviving, and that's when the concrete ceiling of the elevator falls onto her head.

The elevator comes up one last time, but instead of slamming her to the ceiling, it throws her onto an electrical circuit, killing her instantly.

Amanda was the Shadow.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Jimmy is seen with a bottle of scotch after witnessing Amanda's death and takes a sigh.

Well, you all managed to get one of us. But don't be fooled. I still have two more of my people among you. They'll win the war and make sure Amanda's death is not in vain. But for the meantime, Amanda, thank you for all you've done for me. Your stealthiness has come in handy in the past, but these people are smart. They've found enough to finger you. Nevertheless, a salute to a fallen Shark.

He downs the bottle of scotch.

And for the rest of you, it's still five votes for Sandy. Have you all decided her fate yet?

[Dookie]

Victoria comes down, joyous.

“Oh well. You guys can't use the elevator for a the night...but you are going into the camp, so I guess it's fine.”

“C'mon. You're sleeping in the camp tonight. Bring your radios.”

[MadeOfMilk]

Keroro is staring at the scene before him, mouth agape.

...Kero... that wasn't special effects...

[wingedcatgirl]

Eri looks disturbed. "That was so gruesome... even if Amanda was one of the extremists calling for extermination, it's still... overkill..."

[Huney]

"H... Holy fuckin' shit."

[PointMaid]

Well, damn. It's a good thing she was guilty.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

And it's down to four votes for Sandy now. Reina, Seth, Dan, and Paruko all voted for her. Amanda was the fifth vote, but since you all killed her off...

[MadeOfMilk]

I- I know we made the right decision but- AAAAAUGH THIS IS TOO REAL! IT'S WORSE THAN THE MOVIES!

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Dan looks at the scene with muted emotion. "That is gruesome, I will admit. Now, did you say camp? Do you mean the one that you showed us to last night for dinner?"

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

While you all decide Sandy's fate, yes, Dan. Let me take you all there.

Jimmy escorts the survivors to the camp-site. They stumble upon a circle with several tents all set up around the circle and a fireplace in the middle of it, with fish roasting above for dinner.

Enough with this hotel business, now you're all in my home turf. I've been living here for 25 years. Being an outdoorsman is a true test of the human will and spirit. You have to fight every second to survive out here and watch yourself greatly. One wrong slip-up and everything here will eat you alive.

[Zanreo]

"That-that's just... horrible..." Paruko says, just staring. "At least... we got one of the killers?"

[Billy5545]

After witnessing the execution, being disturbed by it, as well as feeling mentally angry at how the investigators made a huge mess out of her room, she finally defends herself, "I hope I could kick Amanda's butt for her killing. That was just excessive. Anyway, look, I was deeply asleep during the whole murder of Gundham."

"I do feel some small disturbance in the middle of the night that almost made me wake up, but I managed to continue sleeping. In hindsight, I think it was when whoever killed Gundham and the hamsters plucked my fur to frame me."

"After all, I have experienced that kind of situation before, so I won't let the criminal get away with it this time!"

She is then led into the camp.

"I already find that feeling familiar, Jim. I have been going on some survival trips before, so I know how dangerous nature could be. I'm not just a mere scientist who stays in her dome after all. Anyway, excuse me, I have to go."

> Investigate again to see if there is still any undiscovered marks on Gundham. Like handprints or fingerprints

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

> Investigate again to see if there is still any undiscovered marks on Gundham. Like handprints or fingerprints (4)

There could be something on Gundham's corpse, but you rushed through looking through it and you're not sure.

[MadameButterflyKnife]

"I've spent my fair share in the wilds on my way here, Shoehorn; it is indeed a strengthening feeling. Knowing that any one move can lead to you losing everything...it's a valuable lesson. One that's taken me to great success."

Dan notices Sandy walk off, and mutters to himself "Wonder where she's going? Is the guilt eating her alive? Does she feel guilt now, of all times. Hm. I'm just going to celebrate that one threat to our well being has been annihilated." With that, he lights another cigarette.
