Yeah... Pointedly looks at Henry

[PointMaid]

...I know Desenari said she checked that Henry hadn't left his cabin, though. If we can trust her on that. So...

Your memory serves you well. You remember the marks on the bed and then you start to suspect that they might have been caused by Eri's cyborg arm.

[PointMaid]

...Yeah. I know there were all these *traps* set up that supposedly told us which side of the causeway the perp was sleeping in. But thinking back on it, I'm pretty sure those marks were made by Eri's arm. And I'd suggest keeping an eye on Desenari since she was the one who had that flour thing that made Eri not so much of a suspect until now. I mean, could be a coincidence but I'm certainly going to be on alert.

"Yeah, Eri... Do you have an explanation for this?"

[wingedcatgirl]

Eri blinks. "Um... Well, that's a quick turnaround." They sigh. "Thing is, this is detachable -" which they demonstrate by doing just that, holding it up by the wrist "- and I take it off every night to recharge. If someone wanted to grab it to make some fake marks, they'd have a real easy time of it."

[Florien]

Well... there is the slight problem of how exactly the bed left the cabin. I was personally thinking it might have been dropped through the floor, and the floor replaced. But if you're really thinking we should hang Eri, who am I to try to quell your Kyronic impulses? Hell, Kyronism was one of the best things to happen this side of year zero. But I do still think Sephiroth did it. And the flour outside, there was no evidence of someone crossing it, so most likely Eri took the long route deliberately, if indeed they were behind it. Or, I suppose, your choice could be wrong. Either way, there's so many people theoretically out to get us that it'll be difficult to miss.

/Vote change from Squid Girl to Eri.

Oh, and Steve and Snakeweed seem eager to find excuses to dismiss me, so it's possible I'm on to something that they're involved in. I, of course, can't be certain. Buuut... I do think it would be a good option to keep an eye on them. Oh, Eri, by the way, if you tell us honestly what you're doing here, I might be able to see to it that while you're hung, should you be the murderer, someone on the opposite team will hang alongside. If you're with Dawn, as I suspect the killer of Waddle Dee is, it's in your group's best interest to sacrifice one of your own to remove one of your opponent's team, because they don't have as many members, correct?

And remember, since there are two victims, you can vote twice for each murder victim.

...

Unless she knew about the flour beforehand, going along the boardwalk would seem less likely to leave evidence, and there were no tracks in the sand. I only said I am going to keep an eye on you because that's what the evidence is telling me.

[Florien]

Exactly. It's also possible they swam. Or MAYBE IT ISN'T THEM?! Your Kyronic impulses are admirable, but it's also possible that we need to be SAFE and ELIMINATE the threats, and not waste time dealing with excessive evidentiary concerns. You know that too much data can muddle a model, right? Oh, who was with Eri last night anyway? Eren? Who got murdered? Anyway, what I need now is a clear acknowledgement that I'm right here about my idea that no one passed cabin 4 last night on the walkway.

>Check that flour thing, would someone passing past cabin four on the walkway have left signs of passage?

[PointMaid]

...Excessive evidentiary concerns?

And Eri's prints weren't on Eren, they were on Waddle Dee's bed. If someone else somehow did take Eri's arm to go hurt Waddle Dee, that person would still pass cabin four on their way to kill Dee.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

>Check that flour thing, would someone passing past cabin four on the walkway have left signs of passage? (Desenari)

You trip and fall, getting flour all over yourself.

[Florien]

Alright, it's confirmed. I got flour on myself, and thus crossing would leave a sign of passage. So I'm right, no one went on the plankway last night past cabin four. I don't think Eri knew about what I was doing though, so I don't think it was Eri. I'm pretty sure they're being framed. Or they might really be the murderer and just be smart enough to interpolate from my collection of flour last night. BUT THEY FORGOT ABOUT THE STRING! Maybe. I don't know. We'll see.

[Florien]

Well, now I need to pull back. Kyronism, again, is admirable, but we need to look at the facts here. There's only one item of evidence suggesting Eri did this, and there IS evidence to suggest that they did not.

[Florien]

I really don't think it's Eri, but if you really are that dedicated to it, I reserve the right to comment negatively on you when it turns out you were wrong. If you turn out to be right, that's a whole other metaphorical plankpool. Also, your vote, Squid Girl, only encourages me to suspect your involvement, when you're jumping silently to convict Eri when I'm looking for anything potentially exonerating.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

>Check Eri and Eren's cabin for signs of either of them leaving that night. (Desenari)

You manage to clean up the entire cabin of any messes that were keft in there, including the blood off Eren's corpse and even bits of flour that got tracked in the cabin.

[PointMaid]

...

Usually looking for more evidence doesn't mean removing evidence. That's generally seen as, you know, counter-productive.
