The Turned Tables

[Kennifer]

Isn't that nature guy pretty strong too? Shoehorn or Jimmy or whatever?

[LavenderDream]

Scarlet stares at V and host2. 
"Are you sure about that alliance? You seem like the type of person to manipulate someone into joining you.
I agree with Frankie on this one."

[wingedcatgirl]

Seriously? What in all nine hells gives you that impression?

[PointMaid]

I didn't see Jimmy leave, as far as I know we were just where we woke up with our weapons trying to stay awake all night. I could have fallen asleep and he did it then, but...

And I know I'm pretty strong working with my animals and always working outdoors on my park. But, same thing applies there.

[Dookie]

> take a trip down memory lane and try to remember if anyone else was at the billiards room while you where getting your midnight drink (Goose)

You think, and think and think.

Yes! You did see someone go in. And they took a cue!

Unfortunately, you were too drunk to remember many important details, but one thing stuck: It was a girl.

[Caret]

The person who killed Hercules was indeed in the same room as me, and I can't remember who exactly was the person, but it was a girl. That rules out all of the boys, which leads me to who I suspect killed Hercules. Maria, Scarlet. Explain yourself right now.

[Kennifer]

And doesn't Maria seem to be... weirdly excited about all this murder stuff? Hmm...

Helena swirls the drink in her glass a bit, then downs the rest of it in one sip.

[LavenderDream]

"You can't just jump the gun and automatically point at me and Maria! You have to use LOGICAL reasoning. Anyone of us could've done it. You can still say that anyone that identifies as a male is out of this however."
"Besides, didn't you hear me when I said I heard footsteps and screaming while I was trying to sleep?"

[PointMaid]

Hmmm. Host 2, do you mean a girl-as-in-not-yet-a-woman, or just 'female'? Can you remember? It would help us narrow down the alternatives.

[Dookie]

Hmmm. Host 2, do you mean a girl-as-in-not-yet-a-woman, or just 'female'? Can you remember? It would help us narrow down the alternatives.

(I meant it as female, so Frankie, Tory, Arch-Mage, Helena, V, Scarlet, and Maria).

[Caret]

[host2 is now dressed in what appears to be game show host apparel.] ALRIGHT! Ladies, tell me what you were doing last night!

[wingedcatgirl]

Well, you know what I was doing, you were there - but for completeness, I was on lookout in the kitchen.

[PointMaid]

I was right there where we ended the night. All night, with my tranq gun for protection.

[LavenderDream]

"I have stated over and over again that I was asleep. This is one of the only occasions where I can get some rest. Besides, if V was on the lookout in the kitchen, going back to Nikei, if the killer used a knife, wouldn't she have seen something?" 

[Despair's Archon of Memes]

I was also asleep last night.

[Caret]

Wait. V, did you see anyone take any knifes last night while you were watching the kitchen?

[wingedcatgirl]

Not necessarily, V says to Scarlet. It's occurred to me that the killer might have taken the knife before I went to the kitchen.

[wingedcatgirl]

And no, to be clear, I did not see anything. So, who went in the kitchen yesterday?

[Kennifer]

I took a bottle of brandy because I didn't want to get sober, and went to my bedroom, and was there the entire night.

[PointMaid]

Not to be suspicious, but... well, I'm a scientist, I'm a skeptic by nature. Anything to back these stories up? Like, I was here with Shoehorn, and while it's possible one or both of us nodded off during the night, I can guarantee you nobody saw me leave or go walking around after lights out, because I didn't.

[SmilyCube112]

By this point Zecro's pretty much decided to just leave the coffee be, and exit the kitchen leaving the used coffee pot by the sink, having washed it. He sees this happen and just keeps watch from a distance.

[MadameButterflyKnife]

I was in the conservatory last night!!! I told you!! I didn't see any murder and it SUCKED!!

[Kennifer]

I don't have anyone to back this up, but I promise nobody would have seen me come out of my room or anything. I wasn't in the billiards room after I got my brandy, and I certainly wasn't in the kitchen.

Helena excuses herself for a moment to refill her drink. Coherency is important right now.

[MadameButterflyKnife]

And doesn't Maria seem to be... weirdly excited about all this murder stuff? Hmm...

Helena swirls the drink in her glass a bit, then downs the rest of it in one sip.

Maria seems to just comprehend this accusation. Hey!! How are you not excited about it all?!! Aren't you hosts?!! You should love this!!

[Caret]

[host2 glares at Maria.] You seriously creep me out. Who else wants to witness murder for fun besides you?
