Murderverse Falls

[NebulaChimera2211]

Nothing seems to have been pilfered. So were these two away somewhere...?

> Any footprints?

[PointMaid]

> ... any wood chips on the knife? (Catar)

There is, in fact, a tiny sliver of wood caught in a little serration of the knife

[PointMaid]

> Any footprints? (Adrianna)

Any footprints are either muddled or too faint to decipher

[awe921]

"Found our break-in tool."

> Look around the room. Any other evidence of a knife being used here?

[PointMaid]

> Look around the room. Any other evidence of a knife being used here? (Catar)

You can't find any evidence of that

[awe921]

> Focus up. Are there any locks that also look like were forced through in the cabin?

[Kennifer]

> Focus up. Are there any locks that also look like were forced through in the cabin? (Catar)

Nope.

After being distracted by nomnomnomnomnomming on the tastey plants, Lucky >snifsniffs the knife to see if it smells like anyone here

[Kennifer]

>snifsniffs the knife to see if it smells like anyone here (Lucky)

You... don't remember what anyone else here smells like.

[wingedcatgirl]

Well. Guess we'll have to >sniffsniffsnif everyone here to refresh Lucky's memory.

[Kennifer]

>sniffsniffsnif everyone here to refresh Lucky's memory. (Lucky)

Aww, cute kity sniffing around! And you do find a bunch of familiar smells... as in probably most everybody, since people have been investigating the knife.

[Dookie]

Victoria wakes up and > Looks inside the cabin for anything that could have been tampered with

[PointMaid]

ATTN: You have 48 more hours to investigate and vote and whoever's got the most votes (or was voted most recently in the event of a tie) will be hammered

[PointMaid]

> Looks inside the cabin for anything that could have been tampered with (Victoria)

You don't note anything inside the cabin that looks like it was tampered with

[Oggy123]

"I wonder what could've happened here..."

[awe921]

"... either this was a really bad murder attempt or a warning shot. The tool point still stands, even if it only really clears me..."

[awe921]

Catar is deep in thought, when she suddenly has a realization.

"... Wait. I read about those around here turning into an undead back in the museum, and how those who become undead split into ghost and zombie if they're killed by murder... and, given the roles that those that died had, could an undead still be amidst us?"

"It'd explain the lack of death. Maybe one of us ended up surviving because we're undead?"

"The undead legends say that they lose the ability to condemn others for their crimes, perceived or true, because they committed a crime against Death itself."

"... I, the blob and those two kids already voted. We're not undead."

[Caret]

Eki and Anya look flabbergasted. On one hand, they survived. On the other hand, somebody tried to kill them. They're just standing close to each other, hoping for the best.

"Eki? Should we tell them?" Anya says, looking slightly nervous No, scratch that. She's shaking a bit, and her face's pale.

Eki sighs. "Yes."

"Okay. We're probably gonna die anyway, so..." Anya pauses to wipe away something. Eki and I are the Psychics. We're supposed to figure out which side people are on every other night. At least that's what we're supposed to do."

"However, we... uh... there's something that's keeping us from doing our jobs. To start, l'll list the data." Eki presents a sheet of paper to the crowd.

Whoops! All Roleblocks

(Yes, we know that we can't use our powers twice in a row. However, we've learned this rule only applies if we're able to get a result! Nifto, huh?))

• Night 1: (We weren't here on Night 1, but we found some notes from... uh... am I reading this right? Emilia Patterson.) (Wait. Waitwaitwaitwaitwait. You're not talkin' about HER, aren't you?) (...We can save this conservation for later.) Target: Summer and Cherry (cabin currently occupied by Lucky). Alignment: No result. Deaths: Bootlegger
  
• Night 2: Target: Destiny. Alignment: No result. Deaths: None.
  
• Night 3: Target: Destiny again. Alignment: No result. Deaths: None.
  
• Night 4: Target: Jake (cabin currently occupied by Felicia). Alignment: Town. Deaths: Maple (Conspiracy Theorist)
  
• Day 5: Executed: Destiny (Underground FBI Agent)
  
• Night 5: N/A. Deaths: Zee (Bus Driver)
  
• Night 6: Target: Aridanna. Alignment: No results. Deaths: None.
  

"So as you can see, we've barely been able to get any evidence! What's the point of this totally cool power if it doesn't work?"

"But uh... Anya? The lack of information combined with what we know... we can still get answers. Come here."

Eki and Anya huddle together, whispering among each other. After a few minutes, they break off and Anya shouts towards everyone else.

"Listen up! Here's our big takeaways!"

1. "There's an Alien and/or a Gorgon. Every night, they can target someone. Whoever is targeted can neither act nor be acted upon for that night. The only difference between the Alien and the Gorgon is that the Alien's allied with us, while the Gorgon is affiliated with the killers. Their existence is the only plausible explanation for our repeated failure to learn others' alignments.
   
2. "Let's talk about Nights 2 and 3. We don't have enough to know what was going on those nights. Sure, the killers could have wanted us and/or Destiny. But they could have also been going after Maple, who had the ability to shield himself from death. Or maybe they recruited the Wanna-Maybe one night. And let's not forget to throw Zee into the mix! There's so many possibilities.
   
3. "Night 6, on the other hand, has context we can work with. We were clearly the killers' intended targets, but we didn't die. This is either the work of an Alien or the CPR Doctor. I am more inclined to believe the Alien did it, but uh... it's possible that Adrianna was the one blocked and we were saved by the CPR Doctor."
   
4. "Actually, the last few times nobody died, there wasn't any evidence! So why is there evidence now? If the Alien did save us, they probably whisked us away instead of the murderer, If the Alien was responsible for the lack of deaths on Nights 2 and 3, I have a hunch they blocked the killer(s) instead, before they got a chance to stir up a crime scene. Or the killers could have been lazy those nights. Who knows?"
   

[Caret]

* "Underground FBI Agent" should have been "Undercover FBI Agent." Look, it's not like I was accusing Destiny of being a mole woman.

[awe921]

"So... we have a possible undead, an alien and our Psychics here."

"On their side, we only know there's a gorgon."

[Oggy123]

"Ooh!" Kirby exclaimed. "That makes sense!"

[wingedcatgirl]

Lucky washes his face imperiously, seemingly wondering what this information implies.

[TenOfSwords13]

That is very much valuable information. I am very much interested in your fourth point, and what could be implied from it.

[NebulaChimera2211]

/vote Catar

Adrianna considers Eki and Anya's claim.
Hmmm...
On one hand, investigating me after voicing suspicions about me earlier makes sense.
On the other hand, you say you tried to divine the alignments of players four nights in a row, the first three without success. But it clearly said that the psychic's toolset is not to be used on two consecutive nights!
Do we trust this claim? Does anyone want to come forth and contradict these two?

She tells Catar:
This is preposterous! If we're agreed that there's multiple killers, then you could be giving them orders. That means you're not clear! No one is!
Yes, the evidence suggests there's a gorgon on the loose, but it doesn't confirm it. To say with 100% certainty there is one, you'd either have to have seen a dead person confirmed as one, which we've not, or you'd be scum and your gorgon partner would tell you as such!

She faces the crowd.
For the record, neither of Kirby and the totally human Jimothy seem particularly suspicious to me. They just seem like two convenient fall guys arising from someone's... utter fabrications!
If there was a vigilante or someone to force me at gunpoint to vote for one of them, I'd probably go for Jimothy. Unless you're wise to the possible games the scum are playing, if you're one of two possible suspects, it seems odd to not immediately accuse the other suspect. And he's not been quite as active as Kirby during investigations. But that's all I've got against him.
She breathes heavily.
Y'all must be great ignoring the elephant in the room if you can act like SOMEONE OF MY LARGER-THAN-LIFE GRANDIOSE BARELY EXISTS!
She takes a few moments to catch her breath, then says while successfully holding back tears.
Sorry, I... This whole thing's getting to me.
