Murder Mysterium - YOU-kai

[idolpro]

[ 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. ]

[ OKAY

GATHERING THE YOUKAIS UP, also checking on Murder I guess. ]

... The boy from Alcheme came up to me. I wished to update you all on something surprising he has said.

Re: DISCUSSION

[byallmeans]

This I have to hear.

Re: DISCUSSION

[caniscorde]

He claims to have gone to the cloak room, but there was nobody there, and he was alone.

... it seems odd to me that all of the other units who have a shared alibi were only with one other unit, as well. I think we cannot discount the potential that no more than two units are capable of sharing a space.

Especially when he had the gall to come up to me with no shame at all, and admit such when he would surely be aware that we could simply pin it all on him instead.

Re: DISCUSSION

[byallmeans]

He wasn't going to just admit to it. He needed to save his own skin somehow.

Re: DISCUSSION

[caniscorde]

Save his own skin by both betraying the unit he apparently has someone important to him on, and give us more than enough fodder to accuse him?

Re: DISCUSSION

[byallmeans]

No one's going to believe us anyway. We have a terrible reputation, and the questions asked already are damning.

He doesn't care about us accusing them one way or the other, because he knows our hands are tied.

Re: DISCUSSION

[caniscorde]

Our choices are give up and admit to it, deflect onto Alcheme, or try to vouch that we occupied the same space and hope Alcheme vouches for us in return.

None of them give us a higher chance than a coin flip.

Re: DISCUSSION

[byallmeans]

You're being optimistic. They'll take the team they know over the one they have no ties to every time. Even if we hadn't done it, if it was betwen us and them, we'd be voted out.

For all their pageantry about wanting to do no harm, no one's going to actually try to minimize harm in practice. If that was the case, they'd want to spare the team that stands to lose more lives instead of the team that stands to lose only one.

...that said. We're not giving up.

Re: DISCUSSION

[caniscorde]

[ growled, ears flat back. ]

I'm well aware. But you are offering no solutions, only slapping mine down.

Instead of your fussing, put some effort into thinking of a better idea than mine.

Re: DISCUSSION

[ibedeadpeople]

Did he really set us up?

Re: DISCUSSION

[caniscorde]

Potentially.

But I think there may be something more to it, as there is apparently someone on this unit he cares for...

[ and giving her the same spiel ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[ibedeadpeople]

On our unit? Because--

[She closes her mouth, looking down]

...Did he say what he wanted to do?

Re: DISCUSSION

[caniscorde]

Yes, on ours.

[ a pause. ]

... I believe we are very likely to be executed first, regardless of how we do this. But if nothing else using this knowledge-- if it is indeed true-- we may be able to confuse a good many of the others. It could raise our chances to at least half.

Re: DISCUSSION

[ibedeadpeople]

...You want to tell them the truth of what we did?

Re: DISCUSSION

[caniscorde]

No.

I want to either claim we were in the room alone, as Alcheme will claim, or claim we were in another room together with them entirely, regardless of who might also claim to be in that room.

If only two units may occupy a space at a time, it wouldn't be the most awful of plans to take.

Re: DISCUSSION

[ibedeadpeople]

How do we know that is true? More importantly, how does anyone else know that's true?

[Crow has been consigned to the YOU-kai alcove and he is Not Happy, though he's been listening in on conversations.

for any newcomers he has taken off the jacket with the most blood on it but his shirt still has some splatters around the collar. there is only so much he can do okok.]

Aaaaanyway, we're fucked, but we might as well go through the fucking motions. Who do we accidentally murder tonight?

[caniscorde]

We do our best to avoid who we can, if we make it that far.

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Well if no one's announced their plans then we might as well flip a fucking coin to pick, it'll have the same chance of working out as any other room.

[caniscorde]

That is as good of a choice as any, at this rate. If Alcheme does openly support us like they should, it would be best to attempt to room with them again.

I do believe we should keep the blades if nothing else.

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Aw, no blowing anyone up? Again? It's like no one here appreciates a good explosion. Whatever, knives again is fine with me.

[caniscorde]

... at this point, it is something I would much prefer.

But if we are not executed tonight, we surely will be tomorrow, should we go that route.

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Then we might as well go for it, it's not like one extra night's going to make much of a difference.

[caniscorde]

... let us stick to the blades.
