Oh, that is... not good.

RE: The Murder Challenge - PopcornPie - 04-24-2022
"C-coldsteel?!" No one can see it, but Entrapta has turned white.
Her memories were telling her she'd roleblocked Coldsteel...
RE: The Murder Challenge - Dookie - 04-24-2022
> what was Coldsteel's role?
"Now here's the funny thing: They were a Baka."
RE: The Murder Challenge - Despair's Archon of Memes - 04-24-2022
... I... WHAT?! That is... I... OH... OH! That's good for us! One less person to worry about!
RE: The Murder Challenge - Kennifer - 04-24-2022
"There's a Driver role that can switch someone around, right? Could they have been in play last night?"
Either way, Michelle looked relieved that at least they were down a killer instead of another innocent.
RE: The Murder Challenge - PointMaid - 04-24-2022
...
Well that's interesting. And... good for us.

I mean... Yeah! Whoever's the Driver who made the Bakas target either each other or themselves... THANK YOU. And... If I recall, IF the Driver was active last night... that's one of their two drives used...
RE: The Murder Challenge - Caret - 04-24-2022
"OOOH YES! THAT WASN'T A BITTER ACT OF ANIMAL CRUELTY AT ALL. IN FACT, WE JUST HUNTED DOWN ONE OF THE BAKAS! WHICH MEANS... THE DRIVER MUST HAVE PLAYED THEIR CARDS CORRECTLY! WELL DONE!!! I WOULD GIVE YOU A PRIZE IF I WEREN'T EMPTY HANDED."
...That also seems familiar. Huh.
RE: The Murder Challenge - PopcornPie - 04-24-2022
"Edit to log...by roleblocking Coldsteel, I sealed his fate. Just like Hypercam! But who's to say I didn't roleblock him? What if I...killed him myself? Just like Kanade said! Oh, am I bloody? Am I bloody anywhere? No blood. Okay, good. I think."
She allowed the door to open a crack, calling out. "WHAT'S THE STATUS UP THERE? THE DATA?"
RE: The Murder Challenge - PointMaid - 04-24-2022
Entrapta! Coldsteel was a Baka, and I'm pretty sure you had nothing to do with this.
RE: The Murder Challenge - PopcornPie - 04-24-2022
"Um, no, I may have had...something to do with this..." It didn't matter if Coldsteel was a Baka, her actions still led directly to a death. What a curse this role was. Damned if she did, damned if she didn't.
RE: The Murder Challenge - PointMaid - 04-24-2022
Um... how? I'm not following.
RE: The Murder Challenge - Kennifer - 04-24-2022
"That's the thing, isn't it, when we figure out the Bakas and vote them to be executed, we'd still be indirectly responsible for their deaths. It was just a little easier this time."
Michelle pauses.
"And if you are truly the roleblocker, you can't also be a Baka, which means you're not going to murder anyone directly."
RE: The Murder Challenge - Dookie - 04-24-2022
> Evidence
It seems that though a mixed up, muddled up string of actions, another Baka accidentally killed Coldsteel. It doesn't look like he killed himself.
RE: The Murder Challenge - Kennifer - 04-24-2022
"So since Coldsteel didn't accidentally kill himself... we could theoretically eliminate another Baka today?"
RE: The Murder Challenge - Despair's Archon of Memes - 04-24-2022
Okay... So ideally, we get rid of another Baka today, then tomorrow, we get rid of the last one...
And then we'll be free from this!
RE: The Murder Challenge - PopcornPie - 04-24-2022
"Um..." Entrapta sticks herself out a little more, and plays last night's diary.
[Recording: "Well, we weren't able to avenge Hypercam...I'm sorry, little guy...(sob)...anyway, there's a new person who says we should, what was it, force our minds on the Crazy 8? I should've thought of that with Jamie. When I think about it, Jamie has kind of the same issues as Hordak, except Hordak couldn't teleport, organize murder games, or wipe people out of existence. Too bad for Sericle. Tomorrow, if I don't kill anyone, I'm gonna try getting into Jamie's sanctum. Wherever it is. I'm gonna get someone from Crazy 8 to help if I can. I still think Tony shouldn't have been voted off. All right. Goodnight..."]
And now, the important part.
[Recording: "Oh! Right! My role! Well, Kanade is distraction, I can't roleblock her again. Hm. I still don't quiiite trust Selenium, but she didn't behave very maliciously except for telling Bwyn off. In fact, I think I know who I should have voted for instead of it: Coldsteel. I have a hunch someone that standoffish would be willing to rip up a robot. To test my hypothesis, I'll block him tonight. Okay, goodnight!"]
RE: The Murder Challenge - PointMaid - 04-24-2022
Selen(ium) takes all of that in... all of it.
...I still don't think you killed him by roleblocking him, though, she says very slowly and carefully
RE: The Murder Challenge - PopcornPie - 04-24-2022
"But it seems he wasn't able to defend himself without his role."
RE: The Murder Challenge - Despair's Archon of Memes - 04-24-2022
... It's a contrived accident, if anything! Sure, you may've set up the events that lead to Coldsteel... but you didn't do it with the INTENT to kill...
If anything, the REAL culprit is the Baka who ACTUALLY went out to kill tonight...
RE: The Murder Challenge - PopcornPie - 04-24-2022
"Right. And how do we find the killer this time, exactly? Last time, they covered up their tracks really good. If it's the same killer, they've probably done just as good of a job hiding themselves."
RE: The Murder Challenge - Despair's Archon of Memes - 04-24-2022
... I doubt it's the same killer... If it was, the evidence would slowly but surely line up to a specific identity as the murders stacked up... But... yeah... it does seem like we're gonna have to look at what happened last night again...
RE: The Murder Challenge - Kennifer - 04-25-2022
"The killer is another Baka, if anyone's indirectly responsible it was the driver who, fearing for their own life, switched themselves with Coldsteel. I don't think blocking Coldsteel helped or hindered anything in this case."
"Now... as for figuring out who it was... yeah, we should probably do that. And if it was Coldsteel who laid low after killing Hypercam, maybe his fellow bakas aren't as cautious?"
RE: The Murder Challenge - PointMaid - 04-25-2022
Maybe. It would help to get the whole story of what happened last night, I imagine. What everyone did. I just stayed in my room.
