[ In your private room, you see the following message written in blood along the walls:

Stuffed the body in a barrel to be sent to the basement ]

[ On the opposing wall is the same blanked out paragraph in the lobby, written in blood:

The woman was killed with a ______ in the ______. The killers did so because______. In order to hide the body, they ______; she was found months later in the basement.

Underneath are pins with every unit's color and name on them. You understand that you must put the appropriate unit pin to the blank, in order to vote.

You must vote as a unit. ]

Baritones, Sensitiv, Taisho, ZRAEL

[stakesthesame]

[ kinda... grimacing at that blood message... ]

Great. More murder.

[rollplayinghouse]

[makes a face herself]

And so soon after the other game...

[stakesthesame]

[ are we the only ones here. mmm. ]

... well, that, and after that issue with the Baritones girl.

[ huffs, floating, propping her chin in her hand against her knees. ]

So what're you thinkin? Far as this. I'm no good at like, puzzles and stuff.

[rollplayinghouse]

...I don't know. I'm not good at this either.

But... it seems pretty unlikely everyone's going to cooperate enough to get things right, which means it's safer if we get voted for.

[stakesthesame]

I mean... I guess it doesn't matter in the end, yeah? Since some units are gonna get axed no matter what?

[rollplayinghouse]

It's just a matter of if it's four or eight.

...We could volunteer to be voted for.

[carnivorouscarnival]

Us? Everyone'll definitely assume we're up to something.

[rollplayinghouse]

[huff]

Yeah, maybe. Then, should we just be honest and hope people dislike us enough to vote us out for our category?

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ pff ]

Honestly, the odds of that aren't so bad for us.

[rollplayinghouse]

Well, whichever way you think works best.

[carnivorouscarnival]

And it's fucking convoluted murder.

[stakesthesame]

[ oh thank god one more of us ]

... yeah. Gonna be real with y'all, not entirely sure how to win this.

[carnivorouscarnival]

That makes two of us. If we can't predict how this is gonna go, I'd opt to be honest, just 'cause it's less trouble.

[stakesthesame]

Dunno if you've noticed but I'm a pretty awful liar anyway.

[carnivorouscarnival]

We're a straightforward bunch.

[stakesthesame]

[ or just idiots. ]

... so just come right out with it, then. Alright. Simple.

I wonder how many people aren't gonna believe us.

[carnivorouscarnival]

Hard to say. People didn't really doubt me and Doodle in the other murder mystery game, but that didn't have real lives on the line.

[stakesthesame]

There was another one?

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ well that sure is a clusterfuck happening in the main room ]

Well, almost everyone has spoken up now, right...? Wonder if anyone actually had the guts to lie. Or how much it matters at this point.

[ since it's too late to change people's minds about whether to vote for us or not, probably ]

Anyone care which units we vote for? I dunno what a sound strategy looks like at this point.

[rollplayinghouse]

[shakes her head]

I'm not sure how much it matters...

[carnivorouscarnival]

My thoughts exactly. On the surface this game gives us more control than the last one, but it still feels like swinging blindly...

pep!pep!, Heart Soldier Senshi, Taisho, LiLiS. That seem okay?

[rollplayinghouse]

Mm... if we're still assuming failure, which I feel like is likely, maybe we should vote for ourselves? And then deliberately try to mess it up. Like... ourselves, Baritones, Taisho, SensitIV, maybe...?

[carnivorouscarnival]

Ah... Yeah, that might be a safer bet, now that you mention it.


For some definition of "safer."

[rollplayinghouse]

It's a shot in the dark either way... who knows how things will stack up.

[stakesthesame]

Whatever you think is best, I think...

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ snorts ]

Like I have any fucking idea what's best. Rizumu was the detective, not me.

[stakesthesame]

I guess throwing blindly is kind of our style anyway...

[ ... huffs. ]

So what're we gonna do? Go with whatsherface's choices?

[carnivorouscarnival]

Maki suggested purposely voting wrong and adding ourselves into the mix, and I think she has a point. Just bet on the possibility of everyone else screwing up. Besides, if it's between us and 5 of the soft new kids, I can't imagine we're not getting voted out either way...

[stakesthesame]

[ hums, thoughtfully. ]

Right...

... why not. S'long as Nem doesn't eat it while everyone else gets off free, it's whatever to me.
