RE: The Murder Challenge - Florien - 04-18-2022
No, I mean familiarizing.
The monotone and lack of elaboration don't convey much about what that actually means, but whatever it is, it probably isn't good. Lucintsea doesn't even turn to talk to Entrapta.
Anyone and pretty much any living thing can be familiarized. Prior hostilities aren't important. But if you don't want to try it, we don't have to.
RE: The Murder Challenge - PointMaid - 04-18-2022
Ah, no, I wasn't, um, ruling it out? I guess. I just don't know what you mean by 'familiarizing' in that, ah, connotation. You can familiarize someone with a book, a language, your car, your preferences in cake, the best bands of the century.... well, yeah. But I've never heard of any familiarization that would make somebody hostile do what you want them to do.
RE: The Murder Challenge - PopcornPie - 04-18-2022
"What if we familiarized with the rest of the Crazy 8 instead? They're around here somewhere."
RE: The Murder Challenge - Caret - 04-18-2022
"Oh, good idea! Let's be friends with our kidnapper's accomplices! They say that safety is better in greater numbers." You can't tell if Mettaton is being sarcastic or serious.
RE: The Murder Challenge - PopcornPie - 04-18-2022
"They're clearly not on board with this. Remember how Tony was screaming when he was about to be shot?"
RE: The Murder Challenge - Despair's Archon of Memes - 04-18-2022
I mean... Yeah... We need all of the information we can... But then again... We don't know if they're working WITH Jamie, or just so happen to be caught up in this whole scheme... Still... It's worth a shot.
RE: The Murder Challenge - Florien - 04-18-2022
Why do I need to explain the process? Isn't the name self-evident?
Is this a problem where you don't understand word roots? I don't know how to describe it to someone who doesn't catch on fast. Could you help with that?
Also, who are the crazy eight?
RE: The Murder Challenge - Despair's Archon of Memes - 04-18-2022
A bunch of people Jamie knows... They're in the same building as us, and apparently, are in the same predicament...
... Also, if I HAD to take a guess on what YOUR version of familiarization is .. a Familiar also means a witch's animal servant... So... MAYBE your familiarization means... Forcibly making them your slave/servant? I dunno... Etymology's not my forte. I'm a guitarist!
RE: The Murder Challenge - PointMaid - 04-19-2022
...Yeah, so am I. And a singer.
You don't mean making them family, do you? Because I don't see how that would help. Or how one would do that. Unless one of us married him, which... yeah.
RE: The Murder Challenge - Florien - 04-19-2022
Oh. That's a better explanation than I could come up with. Kanade is it? Yeah that's pretty close
It's part of the idea of the one-person nation, but it works on an individual scale too.
RE: The Murder Challenge - PointMaid - 04-19-2022
...
Okay, that would be great if I knew how to do that. I take it you do? We might be getting somewhere. Excellent.
RE: The Murder Challenge - PopcornPie - 04-19-2022
"So we force them to help us? Like with hypnosis? Also, should we even be discussing this on stream? Jamie is probably watching us." She pretends there's a camera somewhere to point at.
RE: The Murder Challenge - Kennifer - 04-19-2022
"The only other type of 'familiar' I know is like... when a witch makes an animal their familiar, sort of a bonding thing. Which probably isn't the meaning you're thinking of either, and at any rate is definitely not something I want to do with Jamie. I wouldn't even want him following my social media accounts let alone any sort of bonding."
RE: The Murder Challenge - PopcornPie - 04-19-2022
Entrapta taps her hairtip to her chin. Thinking of Hordak. How she was able to befriend him despite his own sadistic tendencies and his dark history. Really, once you got through that cold, hard exterior, you'd uncover a warm core waiting for people to care for. It'd be that experiment again, with Jamie as the variable instead of him.
RE: The Murder Challenge - Oggy123 - 04-19-2022
"I'm not sure..." said Nintendo.
"I suppose we could start talking to the rest of the Crazy 8."
"Hmmm..."
RE: The Murder Challenge - PopcornPie - 04-19-2022
"And while you're doing that..." She looks around-got to be sure there's no camera-and then whispers.
"...I'll see about familiarizing with Jamie directly. First, I need to find his sanctum." She's smirking, like her choice doesn't have a high chance of sealing her demise. Then again, should she really worry about death if she'll just wake up somewhere else in this dimension? Hopefully Kanade was telling the truth.
RE: The Murder Challenge - Florien - 04-19-2022
uhh
okay so blanking for a moment aside, you can try if you want.
Basically you'll need to kill his mind so you can replace it with more of yours. You know multiple minds in the same body? It's like that except it's multiple bodies with the same mind.
I can't, I'm at my cap already. I have five or five and a half already back home, depending whether you count myself or not and it's not really possible to go beyond around ten, even if you're a dedicated caster. I'd rather not jeopardize the Captaincy by letting one of my directs regrow a mind if it's all the same. At best there'll be permanent brain damage and a barely functioning chunk of the captaincy until I can purge and familiarize a new direct. At worst it'll kill most of the chain down in a cascade.
Aside from dropping that she somehow made herself her own familiar, Lucintsea is still pretty quiet.
oh also when does the part where someone tries to kill us happen? I'd like to know how much longer I'll need to be waiting.
RE: The Murder Challenge - TenOfSwords13 - 04-19-2022
Murders typically occur during the night, new mortal. We should have a length of time yet, as I expect the host would like us to execute one of his associates.
RE: The Murder Challenge - Dookie - 04-19-2022
It is now night until 4/23/22 at 12:15 PM CST. Good luck!
RE: The Murder Challenge - Dookie - 04-23-2022
Apologies in advance, but I will have to delay this to 3:00 PM on 4/24/22 due to a family outing and also I gotta work on a school project.
RE: The Murder Challenge - Dookie - 04-24-2022

RE: The Murder Challenge - PopcornPie - 04-24-2022
Entrapta doesn't leave the storage room this time. She just waves a hairtip through a crack in the door to signal being alive.
RE: The Murder Challenge - Caret - 04-24-2022
Mettaton rolls out of his room, having reverted back to his default form.
"DAY 3. I'M FULLY CHARGED AND READY TO BRACE FOR WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT! DID ANYONE PARISH LAST NIGHT?"
> corpse search
RE: The Murder Challenge - Kennifer - 04-24-2022
Michelle comes out of her room, looking... well, she's alive. But she's concerned about who isn't...
>did someone do an aliven't?
RE: The Murder Challenge - PopcornPie - 04-24-2022
"Let me know who's dead...Wait, don't!"
