[Mafia] Your Final Frontier: Go 4th and perish!

[Despair's Archon of Memes]

A kid with a dapper top hat died, we've been trapped here by a plant dictator, and we're trying to figure out what to do next.

[Cassie]

"Maybe they are. Hey, doctors! You two fucking, or what?"

"I'm not. Ask Bright."

[MadameButterflyKnife]

"That guy had the right idea," Bit remarked, as cold air emerged from their mouth.

[Guma]

CLEF?!?! YOU UNDIED? WAIT... YOU WERE NEVER DEAD! BEING OPEN ABOUT HATING US IS ONE THING, BUT WHY WOULD THESE JUDGES LIE TO US? WHAT DO THEY GAIN?!

Actually, why do these judges hate me mostly? What did I do to them? I mean, that's worse than what they're gonna do to us.

[MadameButterflyKnife]

"First rule about this sort of thing: sometimes, superiors just don't appreciate you. They might have just been bored."

[Caret]

"That's an excellent question, Nikku. If we manage to get into the heads of the judges and figure out what they like and don't like, them we might have an easier time with finding the murderers."

[TenOfSwords13]

Coelasilat is now up and about.

Thought I should get at least a little sleep while the sun's up, given I was awake all night. Now, what's been happening...

[Florien]

Here is what happened: The hat kid became splat kid and now everyone's sitting around scared to vote because what if they kill the wrong one? The horror. This is why there's the one in twenty principal.

Oh also Dr. King choked on a bishop and died and Dr. Clef's head didn't explode, that was a trick. Lucinda now has Dr. King's role.

[PointMaid]

All too much for a simple canine.

...Karma's tone was kinda dry and sarcastic on that.

You should be glad I'm a carnivore. Speaking of co-workers.

[wingedcatgirl]

Hallie suddenly stumbles into the room as though some kind of floating catgirl from outside space and time has roughly yeeted them in.

"Ow, fuck, I get it I can't hide in my room forever, sheesh, lay off -" They stand up and brush themself off. "... Hi there everyone. Uh, if I understand correctly the hat kid died, the dog person stumped, and you found some coffee that was obviously planted?

"I think the solution to this is to ask the dog person her opinion on things. Who do you think we should hang, and also do you have any opinions on what the various good team roles should do?"

[PointMaid]

...

It's hard to say what the good team roles should do, when we don't know what you can do or what we're up against. There are more roles in the handbook than people here, and some of them could be working either side. And no, that doesn't mean tell everybody your role. You have to decide for yourself if that would make you a target or if it would help coordination.

And who to hang... are you trying to flatter me? Make me the scapegoat for a bad decision? If Inez has a friend who knows all about how this works, maybe some of the rest of you do, too, even you, Hallie. I told you my reasoning. I thought her bringing the teleporter up was suspicious. Maybe Inez just does have a good memory and an unfortunate friend. Whether you believe her... that's up to you.

[TenOfSwords13]

If it helps anyone, I didn't see anyone go into the waste disposoal area-thing. Also what's this about a teleporter?

[PointMaid]

I was in one of the cells and didn't hear a... pool table falling on the poor kid, even though the entire area is open. It was dark, no wonder you didn't see anything.

And that pool table is way too big to have gotten into the cell the regular way. My investigation seemed to indicate that it was done by using a teleporter, which is something the Ninja would normally use to complete their one allowed kill without evidence. Except they apparently used it for a normal kill.

[wingedcatgirl]

"Scapegoat? The whole purpose of the exercise is that we already know you're not one of them. If the killers wanted to scapegoat someone, they'd go for someone they can hang for it afterward, surely --" Hallie frowns. "Then again, I thought of that, which implies they'd avoid it -- ugh, damn it, it's always this circular bullshit in these things, I hate it.

"...For the record, I spent last night wandering the halls looking for more booze. Dunno if that explains any questions anyone had, but if it does, there you go."

>Hallie: Attempt to recall whether you saw or heard or otherwise experienced anything interesting during this wandering. ... and also whether you actually found any more booze.

[PointMaid]

...Scapegoat in the sense of if you're one of them and Inez and Bit aren't, you already know who I accused and could be trying to push through a vote by asking a question you think you know the answer to or put the onus for a bad vote entirely on me.

Not saying that's correct. Just saying it could be.

...I think I have trust issues. Might be related to being abandoned as a pup, as I mentioned earlier.

[wingedcatgirl]

"Meh. I know this crowd. They're gonna no-lim today for sure, no matter what anyone says. The info will be useful later, though."

[Kennifer]

"And

my investigationwhich I am guessing I know the results of the same way you heard about the teleporter

, as well as the fact I slept in the rec room and noticed nothing, pointed to a Ninja. I'm tired of repeating myself. Do you think I would be insisting on this if I'd done it or know who did?"

[MadameButterflyKnife]

"Know this crowd? Kid, I don't know how you would know shit. We've all just met, and you don't seem like the analytical prodigy, no offense."

[TenOfSwords13]

Okay, so... we have no Tyranno-damned idea who the killer is? Am I understanding that right?

[PointMaid]

...Well, I kinda agree with you there.

I was thinking along the same lines right now, actually. My suggestion as a known quantity would be to vote. Everyone, vote. Even if nobody gets a majority the votes will be useful to know about.

[MadameButterflyKnife]

"Unfortunately, the only person who I had any suspicion towards was the one that stumped herself, and I'm not bad enough at my job that I'll choose some random fuck without a little more discussion. Just to spite that kid, I might just vote the mannequin if we don't find any other slip ups or leads. I doubt it will make Lucinda disappear, but."

[TenOfSwords13]

I'd be tempted to get rid of that mannequin too, but I would like a punching bag to vent fustrations on. Do we really have no evidence?

[Cassie]

"...Fuck. Honestly, like, hate to say this but I am terribly sorry for not being able to be any ounce of help since I got...fuckin' yeeted to here."

"Let me know if there is stuff that could call for my attention though."

[Kennifer]

"I hold no direct suspicions towards anyone just yet, but I feel I can narrow down a little. We all know it's not Karma because of the stump thing, I'm obviously not voting myself. Dr. Clef was absent during that time and replaced by Lucinda and while this does not mean he couldn't conceivably be a killer would rule him out as killing Hat Kid. And I feel if Bit was a killer, they would be trying to get me mis-eliminated rather than defending me, unless they're trying not to seem suspicious if I do die."

Inez pauses a moment, turning to the Dinowrestler.

"You said you were awake most of the night, correct? Did you see or hear anything? Probably not, because if something happening where I was didn't wake me I'm guessing nobody else would've noticed either besides the killers and the victim, but I'd rather be thorough than just vote at random and hope I get lucky with it."

[Despair's Archon of Memes]

We all JUST met yesterday, after all, and I highly doubt that's enough time to get to "know" each other well enough to get a "proper" judgement on who to vote for... And I have no particular grudges against anyone here...

Bright looks at Clef for a second...

Well, anyone here while Hat Kid was still alive...

... And Clef... I honestly have no idea what's going on either, so you're not alone in this...
