[Mafia] Your Final Frontier: Go 4th and perish!

[Florien]

Alright, sstrange fox thing, you sseem to misssundersstand international law.

Involuntary and treatylesss extradition ISS technically illegal. But international law iss alsso completely unenforcable. Thiss iss why Adolf Eichmann could be kidnapped back on old earth from Argentina and no one gave a shit. Thiss iss why nearly every country has black-opss assasssinss. Thiss iss why torture can be called enhanced interrogation and become legal, thiss iss why international law iss bullshit.

Treaty compliance iss a lie and international law issn't law becausse law requiress thosse enforced to recognize the lawss to a power-bearing ssupermajority. Sso actually, yeah, it'ss effectively completely legal for us to kidnap-imprisson-death-game people.

Anyway, bounty-one, it'ss not about whether ssomething iss "morally wrong" that it'ss a crime. Thingss are crime becausse they're a convenient excusse to detain ssomeone. Overwhelmingly, crimess are the ssame acrosss ssocietiess. Theft, fraud, murder, asssault. The punishmentss for thosse crimess, however, depend on how much advantage detaining ssomeone accusssed of thosse crimess obtainss.

Thiss iss why morality crimess exisst. They're a more explicit way to target groupss lesss likely to ssupport your policiess, or a euphamisstic way to do it. Now, floran preferss to go the criminalize everything and arbitrarily detain route, but not all governmentss really have that opportunity and floran resspectss that.

"No offense, but I think you're guilty of a crime against our eardrums if you ramble like that all the time."

[Dookie]

"Oooh, Bart! I have a gut feeling you're passionate for pranks too!" 

“Hey, how'd you guess that?”

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Is it weird that I would prefer being executed over listening to one more second of this walking leafy green shag carpet?

[Kennifer]

"If they're trying to break us by talking or something..."

[Caret]

"Yes. Break us by talking! Words have a lot of power, and that includes annoying us to no end! Well done, Arceus! Well done!"

[Florien]

You people are impossssibly boring. Don't want to talk about anything actually fun and keep comparing floran to other plantss. Iss stupid, you know. Would be like if floran compared you to a fucking potato bug becausse you're both animalss.

Fuck you you're a captive audience you have to lissten to what floran ssayss. Another perk of thiss whole thing.

[Despair's Archon of Memes]

It's more "shut up, you're going to die, so stop complaining while we give you reasons why you're objectively wrong."

And honestly.. I would prefer death over this...

Bright's necklace subtly glows...

[Cutegirl920fire]

"Oooh, Bart! I have a gut feeling you're passionate for pranks too!" 

“Hey, how'd you guess that?”

"From the crime record you uttered, a good amount of them sounded like pranks even out of context."

[MadameButterflyKnife]

"I honestly think being called a potato bug is pretty cool."

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

If I pop out my eardrums so I don't have to listen to you anymore, then what will you do? Fucking batch of crabgrass...

And thank you, finally something I can agree on, he says in agreement to Dr. Bright's comment.

[Kennifer]

"Well, I find political speeches with airs of superiority boring."

"..And potato bugs are kind of cute, actually."

[PointMaid]

Karma's fur is definitely standing on end, and her ears are tilted forward.

[Caret]

"Yeah yeah yeah, I'm just gonna ignore Sendri for the time being. Anyway... let's shift our attention back to voting, or anything else really. Long as it doesn't involve crime and politics."

[Cassie]

"Oh goodness fuck, I am not fit to hear this political bullshit. And it's not that I'm taking sides, it's just that I'm tuning out because such discussions are not my cup of tea."

[Florien]

Everything iss political though. You can't hide from it, and thinking you can iss sstupid on every level. Besssidess, floran wantss to ssee if abusse diplomacy makesss ssensse on ssome level to you people. We'll talk about it later, right?

Alsso you're here becausse of crime and politicss, sso uhh yeah if you think acting ssuperior becausse you refusse to learn iss a point of pride, floran'ss got plenty of placess for you among our hyperloyal citizenry.

[TenOfSwords13]

Coelasilat practically slept though the entire politcal discussion.

So... correct me if I'm wrong, Karma, but you said something about a preference of killing Inez? I do feel as if an execution would be a sound idea, and I understand you don't have a vote.

/vote Inez

Mostly for you, Karma, not that I disagree with your choice.

[Kennifer]

"I am not surprised, but I must say I'm disappointed that you really think I would be that stupid. You do. You think I'm that stupid, that I would slip up and mention a scum role if I was a killer. That I would give you what I found and tell you my investigations point to the work of a ninja, that I might actually have enough cleverness to associate the use of a sneaky thing with a sneaky person? You don't even go to the rec room and look and see if I might be right. Can I just ask, why do you think I am stupid? I know why you think I am guilty even though you are mistaken and do not wish to go over that again. Please, tell me why you think I am stupid enough to reveal myself instead of hiding my findings as I might if I was guilty, and why you think I am too stupid to put things together in a logical way. Tell me this."

[Cassie]

"Coalossal - or, whatever the fuck your name is, dammit - but you're kinda fucking jumping it over right now." Dr. Clef responds with a slight frown.

[TenOfSwords13]

Look, I don't give a Jurrasic if this vote goes through - I believe this is what Karma wants, and she needs a voice.

[PointMaid]

Um...

Thank you, Coelisilat?

I don't think you're stupid, Inez, by the way. I think everyone has slipups, and that there was no reason to think that what you said would make anyone think you were suspicious when you said it.

Could I be wrong? Absolutely. You could have just been going off what your friend told you and I was way off base. Somebody or somebodys knew for sure that it was the Ninja, though, and that person is the ninja and their associates themselves. ...That they figured out how to use it for a non-ninja kill might mean they have experience.

Karma brushes her nose with her paw, as if it has an itch she needs to scratch.

...Thinking about it, they might also like dropping things on people's heads. Just putting that out there. Because that could be kinda diagnostic. Dunno that that would be you. Although it does sound very Phantom of the Opera

[Kennifer]

"I promise you, it was no slip up. It was the results of my investigation. I invite anyone who doubts me to go to the rec room and double-check my findings. You will see I tell the truth about what I found, or did not find. As I have repeated many times I was sleeping in there. I heard nothing. I saw nothing. The killer is sneaky. I suspected the work of a Ninja based on what is known of the killers, based on it being someone who is sneaky. If it was not the Ninja I do not think they could have gotten the pool table out without my noticing something. I am trying to help, trying to piece information together and find the killers the same as every other innocent party here."

"And I do know songs from Phantom of the Opera, but they're ones sung by Christine, and I've never actually been in the show. Dropping things on people... not my style in the least."

Inez pauses.

"As for wishing to give Karma a voice because you know her to be innocent, that is admirable, but I'd want to be sure she hasn't rethought her decisions before jumping in. Just because she is known innocent, this does not make her ideas always correct, she is as prone to error as anyone here is with so little to go on."

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Look... For right now, I'm inclined to give her the benefit of the doubt. Maybe what she said really was an innocent assumption. Does it mean I truly think she's innocent? No. In fact, you better believe I'll be keeping an eye on her. Now I have a couple ideas on who it could be, but I don't have enough to go off of right now. We'll just need to keep an eye out on her, and naturally each other, of course. I'm sure someone down the line will slip up. For right now though, I think I'll

/skip vote

unless someone else has a better idea what to do.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

(OK, just say Inez had ninja'd me)

All right, that theory doesn't make sense. Anyone could have done so, ninja or not. I'm sure anyone can be sneaky enough; I don't think being a ninja is that relevant to the murder. Now I really will be watching you. And also, I will

/Retract my vote skip

But I will take you up on your offer though.

> Inspect the rec room and see if we didn't miss anything

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

* I meant "saw Inez had ninja'd me"
