The Turned Tables

"I can say that yer theories about Nicky or whatever are correct. If I told y'all who killed Frenchie, though, it'd be way too fuckin' easy. What do y'all think this is, a vignette?"

[PointMaid]

...Wait. You're working with the person who set this up. You're not one of us being held here. Nearly forgot that. You must have surveillance stuff you won't show us. And of course you won't say what happened to Hercules.

[Caret]

Let me piece this all together. From what it appears, Hercules dragged Nikei out from bed to the study and stabbed him to death. A female subject who presumably witnessed the murder then grabbed a cue from the billiards room, followed Herc into the bathroom, and killed him. Right now, I think that the identity of Hercules's killer is either Frankie, Maria, Helena, or... Tory.

[Kennifer]

Personally, I think Maria is way too excited about all of this, even for a murdergame host.

[PointMaid]

Frankie cocked an eye Host 2. ...Did you miss where I had an alibi all night? Why me? And what about, say, that Arch-Mage, Scarlet, or your boss?

[Weirdguy149]

"I'm just gonna say this to y'all: One of yer alibis is full a' shit."

With that, Jenkins whistled cheerfully as he went to work in an untouched room.

[PointMaid]

...I'm not surprised. I'll consider who else had alibis that might be lying for them. But I will point out more than one person said they saw me where we ended the night, keeping watch with Shoehorn, and only there.

[Caret]

[Maria, I am going to say it one more time: Were you actually in the conservatory all night long or not?

[Kennifer]

Helena takes another drink and... thinks about something really hard.

Wait wait wait... you got a detail wrong. Nikei was killed in his bed and then dragged. His sheets were all bloody.

[MadameButterflyKnife]

I was!!!!! Why don't you want to accept I was in the conservatory??!

[SmilyCube112]

Zecro just shoots everyone a look of suspicion before going back to being busy on the tablet.

[Dookie]

“Ah yes…looks like we've got our suspects.”


She smiles and starts writing something down.

[Dookie]

...Maria can't help but laugh at the note reading Helena was sleeping with brandy. That could be interpreted in a...pretty immature way.

[LavenderDream]

...Maria can't help but laugh at the note reading Helena was sleeping with brandy. That could be interpreted in a...pretty immature way.

Scarlet frowns at Maria. "This is a serious matter Maria. I am unable to comprehend why you are laughing like this is some sort of joke."

[Kennifer]

Yeah, you seem very... not serious about any of this.

...not like she'd be one to talk if she wasn't still very drunk, but still.

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Cone on!!! This is fun, right??!! Anyways, so we're voting for who we think killed the French boi, right?? This is gonna be great!!!

[Dookie]

“I like where your head's at. We could execute the killer…execute the wrong person…no matter what, you'll see some blood! Or just…don't execute anyone. But then if you do that three days in a row, the killer goes free…uh oh…”

[Caret]

Besides me and Helena, did anyone else go to the billiards room last night?

[PointMaid]

Not since it turned dark, no. The only time I went in was during the get-together we were having to get my cocktail.

[wingedcatgirl]

Should note that I can vary my height, V says, briefly gaining and then losing about a foot by way of demonstration. I do prefer the height I'm usually at, though - that's why I'm usually at it, after all.

[Caret]

> does the cue seem to have any chalk on it?

[Dookie]

> does the cue seem to have any chalk on it? (Goose)

No. Definitely not.

[Cassie]

“I like where your head's at. We could execute the killer…execute the wrong person…no matter what, you'll see some blood!”

"Blah! Lets fyucking execute someone now, Nyi'm syick of this!"
