[Mafia] The Aurora Project - [END]

[Oggy123]

"Y'all are really doing this? Just running forward on this bandwagon?"

"We don't really have any other choice! All we got is just that one hair, and it matches with Ruby... sort of..."

[PointMaid]

...Well, since it's too late to turn back now.

/vote Ruby

There's a reason I knew for a certainty June wasn't trying to frame herself yesterday. I'm... sorry for deceiving you all. It's for the best I'm sure, you'll see.

[Kennifer]

"I didn't want to vote, but this asshole's leaving us no choice. Okay?"

...Bit snappy there, but Holly... However this ends up, she's lost the closest person she had to a friend in this hellhole.

[awe921]

"..."
Russell doesn't want to vote. He clenches his fist in anger, silently cursing the traitors.

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Voi glares at Ruby as she says this.

I'm not falling for greater good bullshit. I'm sick of the big picture...and of you assholes deceiving us.

[KungFuCutbug]

"...Lo que." [Sherry gives Ruby a nervous look.] "What do you... don't fucking tell me."

[wingedcatgirl]

"Y'all are really doing this? Just running forward on this bandwagon?"

"We don't really have any other choice! All we got is just that one hair, and it matches with Ruby... sort of..."

"You don't have to actively vote for her! If they're gonna execute whoever has the most votes, it's better strategy to leave an uncertain suspect with only just enough votes to be in the lead to leave room for other-

/vote Ruby

[PointMaid]

I was trying to draw out the traitors. ...See who seemed to be acting strangely. Who would take my bait. That sort of thing.

[PointMaid]

I'll be taking any... suggestions for who seemed to be acting the most strangely in mind, by the way.

[MadameButterflyKnife]

That's the stupidest fucking attempt at a defense I've ever heard.

[KungFuCutbug]

"..."

"...So you were TRYING TO GET YOURSELF EXECUTED?!"

[Caret]

Bow glares at Ruby in disbelief. "By bait... you mean... you mean... you were trying to get yourself executed on purpose?'

[Oggy123]

"Nani? Why would you even want to be executed?"

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Alternatively, she's trying to throw us off. Make up some bullshit excuse for "social deduction" in a last minute attempt to revoke our votes. She might just be trying to make herself look like a fucking mastermind and not someone who missed a detail.

[Despair's Archon of Memes]

Unless... RUBY'S the Yeti!

[PointMaid]

Well, voted on. I told you I was trying to draw out the traitors. They're not gonna actually execute me. That would be stupid of me if they were, right?

...I didn't actually kill, no.

[Kennifer]

"I didn't want to believe you were a killer. If you're not, and you do get to leave alive... I suppose that's a small blessing. I just hope you choose the correct person to execute in your stead. And if you are a killer, and still trying to throw people off... I don't think I could begin to express my disappointment."

[KungFuCutbug]

"On the chance that you aren't a killer, which... I genuinely hope you're not. If you're taking suggestions on who'll bite the dust instead of you, ah... hm." [Sherry pauses for a good ten seconds, thinking about that question. There doesn't really seem to be a right answer, does there? Voi's been abrasive as hell almost this whole time, and Sherry's certain that the droid would be anyone else's first pick on that alone, but she's seen their soft side firsthand when the two of them were digging graves for Nikei and Gerald. Holly is also somewhat aloof, as is Russell, but at least they're trying to be respectful. Bow is too kind to condemn to death, and Dubhe... Sherry pities Dubhe for having come here on the same circumstances she did, being forced to replace someone who had been unceremoniously murdered before everybody else's eyes. Nintendo is a corporation and seems to have been mostly following everybody else's footsteps instead of actively investigating...

...Hm. She couldn't really come up with any sort of redeeming quality for Nintendo.] "How about Nintendo, then? He's been mostly just trailing along behind us instead of doing anything on his own, far as I can tell."

[PointMaid]

Thanks. You... you're a good roommate. And I think I have a reason to believe you aren't a killer. I'm sorry I won't be able to get you out as well.

All my friends... well, that's for another time.

Honestly, the one I think has been acting the most suspicious, and I've been keeping an eye on you all, is... Russell. It's subtle, but, well... tell me I'm wrong.

[wingedcatgirl]

Dubhe is :thonking: very loudly.

"If you did that on purpose, Ruby... you're sneakier than Alcor at his sneakiest! I couldn't even see you pulling the strings."

[KungFuCutbug]

"Russell was at least trying to respect the dead, and he's been pretty helpful in the past two investigations that I can remember... Aagh... mierda, this situation's scrambling my head like an egg..."

[Oggy123]

"I don't know whether or not you were one of the Traitors, but i hope we're making the right choice!"

He then suddenly looks at Sherry. "What are you talking about!?"

[Magolor]

THE VOTES

Ruby — Sherry, Reisen, Voi, Holly, Bow [HAMMER], Nintendo, Ruby

7/9.

---

The Pianist walks up this time, and examines Ruby for a bit. In other words I have no idea how to confirm she's Yeti

"The Yeti? Well, your eyes do look sorta alien. Well, make your pick."

[PointMaid]

Here's the thing... the real traitors? Would know that wasn't evidence toward any of them, almost certainly. And they'd certainly know I wasn't one of them. They might not want to be seen on this bandwagon, given that I was probably going down anyway. I'm... still suspicious of Russell. But I want to hear any arguments to the contrary first.

[Oggy123]

"Nani!? This is unexpected!"
