The Murder Challenge

[Kennifer]

"It is fairly obvious someone's lying, yes. It's not like the possessed ones are going to suddenly confess because someone decided to take charge and ask for roles, whether it's someone we're putting in charge or not. And yes, you've only got my word that it's not me, or you can go by my behavior. Not 'acting like a glowie', whatever that means, but in general. Make your own decisions though, everybody."

"I can, at least, back up Nintendo and SEGA as the Alphas, for what that's worth."

[PopcornPie]

"What is your role exactly, Bwyn?"

[PointMaid]

...I've competely had it here. Ever heard the concept that the best lie is part truth, and the best defense is a good offense? Given how they keep accusing anybody who has a single negative thing to say against them, and still haven't addressed that the seeing people go up the stairs thing probably didn't work the way they're thinking, I'm voting Bywyn. For real.

> vote Bywyn

"Oh sure, Mx. Everyone Who's Against Me Is a Glowie. Keep accusing anybeauty who calls you out a 'glowie'. That isn't suspicious at all! Right, viewers?"

"Also, I believe we have not discovered Hypercam's role yet. Yes! We can't have holes in our case! If we know Hypercam's role, perhaps we could narrow things down further. Maybe we could even expose some liars! Oooooooh! Detective Mettaton, on the case!"

> what was Hypercam's role?

... I think it was established that he was the Stickbugger.

[PointMaid]

Yeah. And we already know the cam was the stickbugger. We all got... stickbugged.

[Caret]

"...Never mind me. Anyways... I as said before, the fact that Bywyn has been asking for roles without revealing its own roleclaim seems... sus! AHA! I solved the case! Let's see if I'm wrong."

/vote Bywyn

[Oggy123]

Now Nintendo is glaring at Bywyn.

"Oh, sure. You're quick to accuse other people. A bit too quick if you ask me. I don't know about you guys, but i think you're hiding something! Maybe you're really responsible for this."

"Come to think of it, you're right, Ninty!"

/vote Bywyn

[Kennifer]

"I guess either we've got one of them, or we're narrowing it down. And Bywyn said itself that we've got wiggle room in case we get an innocent, didn't it? Probably one of these, and all that? Based on... really Coldsteel was the only one that had more than 'this person disagrees with me or is trying to blame me' behind the accusation, since it looked at the strength it'd take to tear off an arm. Claiming to not have a role, sure, but... I've hardly got the strength to tear a robot's arm off. I just had the audacity to question an argument."

"I do apologize if I'm wrong about this, even if it is annoying with the talk of glowies and shilling of pills and... what's the saying, better you than me? And if it does turn out to be innocent... this really is a shame."

/vote Bywyn

[Despair's Archon of Memes]

I mean... Yeah, Bwyn, you're not really making your case any better by antagonizing everyone that even remotely disagrees with you. If you're town... AT LEAST try to cooperate better... And if you're possessed... Can't say I blame you... Well... I DO, but at least it makes it harder to make sure if your jerkish nature is just because you're like that, or if you're planning to kill all of us anyway.

/vote Bwyn

Votes (5 to execute):

Michelle - 1

Bywnn - 4

[PopcornPie]

Entrapta held the pills in her hand, drumming her fingers. Could she really betray the person who gave her these? She'd already betrayed people so many times...

[PopcornPie]

She looked at the clock, then Bwyn. She didn't want to believe it. She really didn't want to. But it was it, or all the rest of them. It was their best guess. There was nothing the poor old princess could do to steer it away from the inevitable.

"...I hope we meet again, Bwyn. I wish there was some way I could prove you innocent, but there's no time left.Please don't be mad at me..."

/Vote Bwyn.

[Guma]

bitch move.

> vote Bywyn

[PopcornPie]

Entrapta cringes. "I know..."

[Florien]

You fucking idiots. I'm innocent. No role. Ugh. You've made an enemy of Bywyn Dlemiel Chillvein today. Fucking glowies. It's Selenium, Michelle, maybe Mettaton and Coldsteel. Gundam or Cthlrak or whatever is the bus driver, the other the real innocent. It's obvious. I promise you a grim end and I promise Haelas's wrath will descend upon you for this idiocy. Fuck you you crisis actor pieces of shit.

[PointMaid]

...Yeah, you keep ranting about glowies. I don't know if you're telling the truth even now or if you're just trying to make us feel sorry for you. If you really are innocent, I am sorry. But you're the idiot trying to accuse people based on your bullshit 'logic'.

[PopcornPie]

The pit in her stomach only increased. "This just doesn't feel right, even if it's being accusatory towards us."

[Kennifer]

"So you're fine with accidentally getting an innocent as collateral damage as long as it isn't you? Now you know how I feel."

Michelle pauses.

"I did say that if you're innocent, I apologize. I'd rather only lose the villains in this little... freak show. And I do hope that however this turns out that people will still believe that I'm one of the innocents. I don't know why you've gone so hard against me over the others who claimed no role, other than my disagreement with you."

"Unfortunately, the only ways to prove innocence to everyone for sure are to die at night, be executed wrongly, or manage to out those who were possessed."

She's ignoring the talk of "glowies", still unsure that's anything more than weird rambling or conspiracy theories.

[Caret]

"You may or may not be innocent, Bywyn. However... one thing is certain! You're a deranged self-centered conspiracy theorist, and nothing can change that! If you ever auditioned for one of my shows, you'll be FIRED on the spot! Toodles!"

[Oggy123]

"Hm! Ok, you might be innocent after all, but like the others said, you're still a jerk to others. And we don't really have a choice but to vote someone!"

[Dookie]

(Note: If we cannot get a replacement app in for Selenium by the 17th at 12:00 PM CST, the game will continue on without them and replacement will close).

[TenOfSwords13]

I understand the ire the foolish half-mortal has drawn towards itself, however I have doubts as to its guilt. I will not vote for the half-mortal, but I shall not stop you.

Ctharlak explicitly does not vote for Bywyn

[Florien]

Shut the fuck up, liberals. Get off your high horse and look at the world in front of you. Michelle and Selenium went upstairs last night to sleep. I wouldn't have been specifically told no one came up the stairs if people had materialized in their rooms if they hadn't specified otherwise, so Selenium is wrong of guilty or both. Mettaton has been pushing for me this whole time based on me daring to come to a decision. It's obvious.


Bywyn is clearly furious, and has dropped the vaguely mystical accent entirely.


Damned right I'm not collateral damage here, I'm innocent and you all know it. You're just afraid because I got too close. I've probably outed your whole team here and now you're pushing me off? These other crisis actors just going along with you? This is targeted. Oh, but when I'm dead, that won't save you, no. I have a video set to upload if I don't log in in a month, and that video will make you ALL pay. Fucking glowie CIA cucks and your pathetic centralized Chinese-backed Fiat Currency, you think you've got this figured out? No, I Figured it out, and if you dare erase my contribution, there'll be stochastics to pay, and they don't play nice. Fuck you, I hope they make it slow.


Stalking around the room and pointing in an accusatory manner, it makes for a less than menacing scene considering its short stature and overly fancy clothes.
