[Fin] Murder in the Mountains (End)

[KungFuCutbug]

[...Tainted Soul isn't coming out of their closet today, it seems. Instead, a small, tear-stained slip of paper simply gets slid under the door for the others to see. The handwriting on it is crude and shaky, befitting a five year old, but faint.]

/vote Mitsuha

[PointMaid]

The Liebers wake up and, after a little while, make it out of their room.

...Everyone looks okay. That's good.

It definitely is. We should get breakfast. Maybe while we're doing that, Mitsuha would like to explain herself?

Mitsuha: Tainted Soul

[Kennifer]

"Yeah, I'd like to hear her explanation too."

Amy's gonna make some coffee.

[PointMaid]

...If anyone has any information they got last night, we should talk about that too. We might be able to narrow down, or even identify, the third cultist.

[Zanreo]

Z then T-pose-floats out of her room, ready for breakfast. "So seems no one died... that's good, at least. She then turns to Mitsuha. "But we still have something to clear up... why would you claim to be Masons with the one who was just revealed to be a Death Cultist?"

[psychedelicate]

Mitsuha fully exits her room now, trembling like a leaf.

"I-I... I really thought... Malakhiri was another Mason... but... there must've been... s-some kind of mix-up! M-maybe he turned scum partway through... or something..."

[door-kun]

"Agreed. I got rickrolled watchin over Amy tonight, so sorry. I got nothin."

[KungFuCutbug]

[The quiet, shaky voice of the Soul peeps up from behind the closet door.] "...did i get lucky? i-i did the cpr doctor thing on red. a-and it sounds like nobody died. i... i saved them." [Their voice perks up near the end of that sentence, and soon they slowly emerge from the closet, looking around to confirm that nobody in fact died. They briefly smile a little bit.]

[Kennifer]

"... I thought the only one who could turn scum partway through was the Wannabe. Or the Amnesiac if they decide to remember a scum's role."

"I visited Mitsuha but nothing happened. And wait, you got rickrolled with me? Did I get swapped with Red, or do I have a weird musical thing too? What did you hear, anyway?"

[Magolor]

The recreational belly-dancer wipes her eyes from the night's sleep. She didn't look particularly joyful, though I doubt anyone here is.

"My investigation yielded a very confusing result, but I suppose Mitsuha should be our primary concern..."

[PointMaid]

"Agreed. I got rickrolled watchin over Amy tonight, so sorry. I got nothin."

...Huh. I'm guessing Kondraki switched Amy and Red, then, and the cultists went after Amy, trying to give her her wish. Kondraki will have to confirm that, though.

[artsyGeek]

[Kondraki exits his room in a noticeably more grumpy tone.]

"stupidsonofaBITCHhowtheFUCKdidIgetrickrolledIsweartofuck-"

[Zanreo]

"Confusing? What do you mean?"

[KungFuCutbug]

The recreational belly-dancer wipes her eyes from the night's sleep. She didn't look particularly joyful, though I doubt anyone here is.

"My investigation yielded a very confusing result, but I suppose Mitsuha should be our primary concern..."

"h-huh? what... what was it? did you get... r... 'rick-rolled' too? a lot of people say that happened to them."

[PointMaid]

...Tell us, Lotus. We're not really under a lot of time pressure at the moment. We can be pretty sure Mitsuha has to be a cultist. ...Unless anyone can explain how one can be that confused about being a Mason or not.

[door-kun]

"Yeah, there ain't a reason to not say it. Take your time. Also Kondraki, same happened ere. So I wasn't alone."

[Magolor]

"No, it only makes sense you got rick-rolled, since you swapped Red and Amy...

But, while I Stalked you last night, I learned that you visited Mitsuha. This violates everything we know about so far..."

[artsyGeek]

". .ma'am, no offense, but I swapped myself with Amy."

[KungFuCutbug]

"if konny had swapped red with amy, then... i would've cpr'd amy instead. and i would've killed her. but red and amy are both alive. and konny got... 'rick-rolled' anyway? i don't understand...""

[PointMaid]

Huh? Um... yeah, I'd like an explanation for that.

...And about what happened exactly to the echidna. What were you trying to do, Knuckles?

[Kennifer]

"I visited Mitsuha, in case she'd... you know. Or at least I tried to visit her, if I got swapped around I don't know where I ended up going."

[Magolor]

"Yes, the only reasonable explanation would be that you didn't swap Red and Amy... But I already visited Amy... does that make you the Rickroller? Somehow? Wait, this means... no way...!"

[PointMaid]

...Okay. Damn. Yeah, I was assuming things there. There must be more than one Rick-Roller. Was the song the same as the first time?

[artsyGeek]

". .it was Never Gonna Give You Up. A classic, but a detestable one."
