Murder Mysterium - pep!pep!

[ Your unit-colored alcove has its own seating—benches, rather than any specific number of chairs, line the green bushels. It's wide enough to comfortably fit all of your unitmates if necessary, though it's likely not all of you will be here at a time. You're aware, somehow, that the space is soundproof; you could say whatever you like here and it won't be heard by anyone but your unitmates.

At the center of your "room" is what looks to be a marble table, but upon further inspection you'll note that the surface is actually electronic, a touch screen that mimics the visual texture of marble. Here, you have a number of options of things to choose from, and you can even pull up a keyboard or write with your finger for a certain freeform answer section. ]

We know that LiliS and Bad End aren't our culprits. SensitIV and 10IV are vouching for each other again, and so are Heart Soldier and Avante. necROMANTIC claimed they were in the Cloak Room alone, so they don't have an alibi.

So... assuming all of that is true, we'll need to hear from WILD CITY, ZRAEL, necROMANTIC, and sea.Di. WILD CITY should have been in one of the chosen safe rooms of the Master Bedroom, Billiards Room, or Music Room, so as long as they stuck to that, they shouldn't have been in the Conservatory, correct?

Haaah... sounds right I guess. Ta be honest they don't strike me as the "in order to die" type murderers either. Not sure what's goin' on with that motive.

Re: DISCUSSION

[quickpersuader]

The motive is really strange... it's possible for a victim unit to win by having their killers found and executed, but even if they used explosives, that shouldn't help them secure a victory if they were trying to die.

But we're the ones who give a motive anyway, so it might even be a misdirect.

Re: DISCUSSION

[worldlyafflictions]

Right. I dunno if the motive I gave if we accidentally killed somebody woulda been that revealing. At least we can ask Lilis, Bad End, and probably Wild City ta share clues with us. Seems like they're keepin' people from seein' each other's answers now.

Re: DISCUSSION

[quickpersuader]

Smart move, really.

Re: DISCUSSION

[worldlyafflictions]

Smart for who??

Re: DISCUSSION

[quickpersuader]

Keeping the culprit from having a chance at reinterpreting a clue pointing at them.

Re: DISCUSSION

[worldlyafflictions]

Oh right...



Is votin' on culprits distasteful? Like there's no way ta come back from that... But I guess then if ya don't the team that got killed also just has no chance...

Re: DISCUSSION

[quickpersuader]

It probably depends on how badly you want to win.

If we're just interested in either survival or a victim win and not eliminating culprits to get a detective win, we could skip out on asking the dead for questions entirely.

Re: DISCUSSION

[worldlyafflictions]

Comin' out the victim in an encounter... I can't tell if ya don't suffer consequences if ya get a victim win, but I have a feeling those are gonna be more easy early on rather than later... Just gettin' ta the end without havin' ta make a buncha decisions that're gonna haunt us later is the dream, huh.

Guess we could ask 'em if they want a victim win if the killer's so resigned in their motive... but that's... [vague gesture]

Haaaaaaaaaah why's everything always such a headache!

Re: DISCUSSION

[quickpersuader]

It doesn't have the same dramatic flair, I suppose.
