The Murder Challenge

[PopcornPie]

Entrapta is hiding in her hair. Her eyes darted toward Selenium.

[PointMaid]

...May or may not be innocent, but they're still confused. Yeesh.

[Despair's Archon of Memes]

Kanade is just crossing her fingers at this point...

[Florien]

IT. It you utterly redundant barely-a-musician! Your very name is stupid! The fuck is with the parentheses? My pronouns are IT/ITS! I can't believe I have to fight this battle with a FILTHY LIBERAL. My fanbase? Maybe. The communites I'm in? Sure. But a liberal? Spit it the FUCK out. Fuck you and your family! I try to heal the world and you all plot to kill me, and this slacker-ass liberal slash murderer can't even get my pronouns right! I am... Oh you think you're clever. No, that choice is deliberate, isn't it? "They're confused" referring to everyone who isn't a murderer like YOU. Not me specifically.



/Vote Selen(ium)

[PointMaid]

I'm pretty sure the hypercam never specifically said it was going to its room. Where was it found? In its room. Ok? That's how I can tell you it's bull.

[Kennifer]

Michelle is just going to sit down; she feels she's said as much as she can and she's getting quite the tension headache from all of this.

[Florien]

Oh really? The hypercam who never specified a location ever? Where the fuck would you expect it to turn up? That was Fiat. Otherwise I wouldn't have been explicitly told no one came up the stairs if everyone was in their rooms unless otherwise stated. I wouldn't have been told that if it was stupid and meaningless.

[PointMaid]

Is that so?

I could sing you plenty of cobbled-together song lyrics that may technically be grammatically correct, but in the end turn out to be pretty much just, well, stupid and meaningless.

[PopcornPie]

...Of course Bwyn was starting to provide defenses after Entrapta cast her vote. She swallowed and wished she could change her vote to someone else. Like Gundham. He was suspiciously quiet throughout all this.

[Dookie]

"Seven votes. Time to go!"

Bywyn is suddenly in the living room, tied to a wooden chair and unable to get out.

"Now, I have an axe to grind with you..."

He proceeds to get out an Axe Body Spray case.

He sprays it on Bywyn.

"Alright, yep, I see the comments already. That was a bad joke. I get it, Ok?-SHUT UP!"

He then gets out an actual axe and splits Bywyn's head in two.

"There? You happy now? You got an innocent, so probably not."

---

Donna runs upstairs to the kidnapped.

"Alright, we stayed downstairs because of...well, culture shock and all...and now that we've at least processed what we're in, we've decided we're ready to come up."

"What did we miss?"

[PopcornPie]

...

"We...got an innocent. Who I trusted." The color faded from Entrapta's eyes. Then they glazed over...

"You. I am going to try my damnedest to vote you off." Chillingly, she points to no one in particular.

/God damn it why can I never guess right on the first case

[PointMaid]

Selen(ium) cringes at the axe... both kinds. Then looks pained and rubs her temple.

Oh, for the...

Of course it was just... like that. I said 'it', okay? You happy now? No. I imagine not. And now we're in even deeper hot water.

[PopcornPie]

"You bet...killer." She spat coldly.

[PointMaid]

Yeah... no. Not unless you meant that I was the first to vote for Bywyn.

[Kennifer]

"It may have been innocent, but... it was still wrong about me. Just... overconfident. Maybe right about one of the others. Maybe completely misguided about all of the killers. But its talk of... people not going upstairs, people walking around. Was it allowed to go around watching people? And the people who didn't clearly go to their rooms. Obviously our host can just... teleport people or something, that could explain nobody else seen going upstairs, provided that was an actual thing."

Michelle rubs her temples, not moving from where she was sitting.

"Which... might get us even further from figuring this out than we were before."

"And I did mean it when I said I was sorry. I had nothing to go on besides, well... it just being like that and changing its vote constantly and basically being a suspicious-acting person in general. Please forgive me for my part in dooming an innocent."

...even if it was an especially annoying one, she thought to herself.

[TenOfSwords13]

You foolish mortals can not deny that I told you so. I felt that the tone was off when the votes started piling on, that it was too easy to get the half-mortal executed. Regard the voters with suspicion.

[Guma]

god. FUCKING DAMN IT.

it wasnt a killer. just a fucking idiot. and now were down one.

[Caret]

Mettaton slaps his face and lets out some anguished computer noises.

"Ooh dear. Look what we got here. It appears the conspiracy theorist was right after all. What a shocker! Bywyn was out of their mind, but at least it had good intentions. I guess. The case remains open! Who will fall next? What twists await us? Get ready for more social deductive action, folks!"

[Guma]

fucking why hasnt gundham spoken at all

[Despair's Archon of Memes]

... Wait. Entrapa... I have to ask you something... Does whoever gets roleblocked get notified that they're roleblocked WHEN the roleblocker blocks a player's role, or ONLY when the blocked player attempts to use their role while blocked... Because if the former is correct...

I know you're lying. I never got anything notifying that my role was blocked... If I tried to use my role and THEN I got notified that I was roleblocked... I could understand that maybe you roleblocked me on the assumption that I WOULD do something, only for me to... NOT do it. However, if, when you blocked me, I got immediately notified that I was roleblocked... the fact that I DIDN'T get notified... contradicts your statement that I got roleblocked!

Not that I'm immediately putting you under fire. For now, I'll believe your word that you are indeed the Internet Provider for now... But I just wanted to note something that SORELY needs clarification.

[Dookie]

//I should clarify it's the second one, sorry for any confusion.

[PopcornPie]

The princess's brows funneled in confusion. "Huh? I did roleblock you! Remember my recording? I roleblocked you clearly. Unless...did the driver have anything to do with this? Or, maybe...I'M THE KILLER!"

She started to frantically vote for herself. The pills...didn't work?! She was in full emotional meltdown now. COLOR=#B396C9]"IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW! I DID IT! I KNEW HOW TO TAKE HIM APART! SOMETHING HAPPENED AND I DIDN'T REMEMBER!"

[Caret]

Mettaton pats Entrapta on the shoulder.

"Relax, darling. Take a deep breath. If the driver did swap you with the killer, I'm pretty sure the responsibility still falls onto the Baka. Speaking of which... I believe nobody has claimed to be the Driver yet! Could the Driver please step up and tell us who you swapped last night? Don't be shy! I won't bite!"

[TenOfSwords13]

I think it foolish that you mortals would want everyone who can do tihngs to help to out themselves this rapdily. I fear that, perhaps, this "Driver" may be targeted, and should remain hidden.

[PopcornPie]

"I CAN'T CALM DOWN! I'M A KILLER, AND TONIGHT I'M GONNA KILL SOMEONE ELSE UNLESS SOMEONE STOMPS ME OUT RIGHT HERE!" Violently shuddering, she clutches Hypercam's body again. "It's so clear now...this is exactly what I would do if I lost my mind. Somehow, my memories of killing this robot were switched. Probably by the Driver. Is that who Bwyn really was? Oh, I knew I should have voted Gundham. Well, in hindsight, myself, but, still..."

"Tonight, brick me up. Make sure I can't leave my cell at any cost. For both of them." Her face is twisted with regret, regardless of if she had filled her head with the truth or not.
