The Turned Tables

[Kennifer]

"Okay, so from the few words I could make out, Mr. Zecro claims to have gone to bed, but Maria claims to have heard him? Either someone is mistaken or someone is lying."

Another swig of booze, and Helena will also

> Check the corridor/hallway/whatever for anything out of place.

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Wait, what?!!! Helena, the Zecro guy's right there!! He literally just said now something something downstairs corridor!!! Were you even paying attention???!!!

[Kennifer]

"I thought I heard him say he didn't hear anything... but he was talking awfully quickly. Mr Zecro, can you please repeat what you said a little slower? Did you just assume something happened in the corridor, or... And please, take your time answering."

[SmilyCube112]

Zecro just slowly said this: "What I said was: 'Hey guys so if you wanna know where I was last night I was just busy on my tablet in my room all night working on some programming stuff and I did not hear a thing from outside my room so best guess was that it entirely happened in the downstairs corridor'. All that is the truth." Then Zecro goes back to speaking very quickly.

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Maria glares at Helena. See???!!!! I told you!!!!! He said something something blah blah downstairs corrridor!!!!!

[Dookie]

>investigate downstairs corridor (Maria)

Doesn't seem like there's anything.

> Check the corridor/hallway/whatever for anything out of place. (Helena)

Just a dead ket

[Kennifer]

"That was much clearer, thank you. So neither of you heard something but assumed it happened in the corridor. And DeeDee was trying to sleep. Host2 was in the study... but again, he couldn't have gotten near V to snap her neck. We still need that Tory kid's story, and Mikado's. I'd already mentioned taking a bottle from the bar and going to bed. I didn't run into anyone, and I didn't hear anything either."

Helena frowns, and takes another drink.

"Unfortunately, most of these alibis are things we can't prove for sure either way so far."

She is... making a point of not looking at dead ket for now.

[Caret]

Whoever killed V appears to have done a good job at not leaving a lot of evidence behind, so that complicates things more. Right now, I don't even know who could be responsible for my headmistress's death.[host2 starts to pace around the mansion.]

[SmilyCube112]

Zecro then lights up, like he got an idea, and says in a clear enough way for others to understand what he's saying: "Didn't this game's host say that if we didn't kill anyone, then they would?"

[MadameButterflyKnife]

...True??!!!! But I mean, that's very out of character!!! Doesn't the host Amy love violence???!!! They'd probably be bragging about having killed them before subjecting us to more torment!!!!

[Kennifer]

"Her name is Audley, but yes, she does. On the other hand, she might want us to turn on each other so someone gets voted off and she gets to execute them."

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Wait??? I could have forgotten something, but like, if we really do think she killed to make us turn on each other...could we technically vote her out???!!! I mean, there's a waiter guy who could conduct the cool execution for us!!!! And if not, I can draw something up!!!!!!

[SmilyCube112]

Zecro just decides to........................wait..................uh oh. With the speed effect run out, Zecro makes a beeline for the nearest toilet, needing to relieve himself.

[Kennifer]

Helena simply shrugs and has another drink.

[Dookie]

Audley comes out of the shadows.

“I will say, neither Jenkins or I killed V. It was one of you.”

[door-kun]

"Miss Audley, how do we know whether or not you lie?"

[Dookie]

"Miss Audley, how do we know whether or not you lie?"

“Because. I'd be boasting about doing it. And besides, Jenkins was the one who was supposed to kill, and he'd tell you, too.”

[Caret]

Whatever the case is, the problem here is that the killer didn't provide much in the way of evidence, meaning that we will have to turn to social deduction. That's always fun.

[Kennifer]

"Yes indeed, which is why I've asked everyone for their stories. To see if something doesn't line up."

Helena takes another drink which.. finishes off the bottle. Whoops. She should stay drunk a while longer, at least.

[door-kun]

"I see. .I suppose I will go first. It's quite simple. I went into my room, slept for the night, then awoke and cooked some pancakes. I didn't see Miss V's corpse then, however - I only found it with the rest of you."

[MadameButterflyKnife]

I was asleep as well!!! Didn't hear a thing!!!! Now, we can't just rely on alibis, though, because all of us can just claim to have been asleep!!! We need to look out for other things!!! You know, like how they act towards the investigation!!! Rushing, clinging onto bandwagons, that stuff!!!!!!

[Kennifer]

"Well yes obviously, but given that our other killers kept changing their stories it's good to cover all the bases, wouldn't you agree?"

[Caret]

That is something to look out for. We still haven't heard the alibi of Tory yet, so I'll refrain from making any accusations until we can hear her story.

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Agreed, good to cover our bases!!!! But if we all seem to have the same, really simple story, then???!!!

[Kennifer]

"Then we look at the evidence again, see who can be ruled out, and see who's acting weird. Well, in some cases, weirder than usual."

She made a point to glance at Maria when she said this; Maria always acted weird.

"Since V's neck was snapped and there were handprints, for example, we know Host 2 couldn't get near her."

Helena pauses.

"And why do you keep saying this when you already said what you're trying to look for? Mind games? You think I'm getting sober again or something and you need to tell me things a few times? Trying to let everyone else hear? Trying to cover your tracks? What?"
