Day 17 - WHODUNNIT?

[pandatrash]

[It's that time again! The Great Detective has been killed, so put those little grey cells to work and find the culprit!]

[Most of the flooding has been stopped as well, though it's uncomfortably damp just about everywhere. Looks like the raccoons only half-assed their cleanup.]

[Speaking of half-assed, where's Tycoon? I mean, broken ones, sure, but has anybody seen him up and about? Looks like you guys might be flying blind this time around...]

What do you mean, 'out the last two?'

[Hi Ein]

[ecthelion]

Oh, wandering with someone else.

[suppressthedark]

On the killing nights, right?

[Hmmm-]

And that made you tired enough to sleep all last night?

[ecthelion]

Why wouldn't it?

[suppressthedark]

I've been out before during the night, and I wasn't that sleepy the next time it rolled around.

[Well. Before he got injured, anyway.]

[maege]

[HEARD THAT YOU WERE TALKIN' SHIT literally, physically inserting herself into this conversation as BLATANTLY AS POSSIBLE]

No offense but you're also dangerously approaching "superhuman freak" levels of surviving things that would probably kill other people. Also, I can personally vouch for this kid not getting enough sleep.

[suppressthedark]

[Holy shit Mae??? God damn]

Oi - If we don't question people, then we can't find Erika's killer. It's nothing personal.

[Although -]

So where were you, last night?

[maege]

Yeah, I know how investigations work—I'm just saying, your reasoning's flimsy.

[ANYWAY!!! she's less ready to Fight now that Ein isn't the focus]

Eh, here and there. Will and I hung out and wandered the building for a little while.

[suppressthedark]

I don't really have a lot to go on yet - so you've just got to ask questions until you find something.

[At least she's less willing to rip his face off? Even though he does understand where she's coming from on that.]

Where did you guys go? And when did you meet up?

[maege]

Like I said, I know how investigations work.

[FACE RIP OFF LEVELS RISING only marginally though. don't condescend her???]

Uhh, we met up in the halls pretty much as soon as nighttime started? More like I found him and decided we were hanging out, I guess, buuuut. We were sort of all over the place, looking for something useful...

[suppressthedark]

So you didn't make plans to meet up before the killing night started? And you're saying you ran into him as soon as the night started, huh...

[...]

Did you guys ever get separated at any point?

[maege]

I mean, pretty close to "as soon as," but—Sorry, am I a suspect all of all of a sudden or something?

[suppressthedark]

Uh? Ah, no...I'm just trying to get as much information as I can to help with the investigation.

[...Yep.]

I mean, you can ask me about what I did - though it's pretty boring.

[maege]

I mean, you have an alibi and I don't think you DID it anyway, so I don't really care what you were doing last night? Not in a mean way but I don't see how it matters.

[UNCONVINCED THOUGH]

[suppressthedark]

It matters because someone could have an alibi, but the other person could lie for them or be mistaken. Remember Niles? He had an alibi with Corrin, but it turned out he'd killed Sigma and then returned to his room.

[And on that note -]

That's why it's important to know when people met up - so something like that can get caught.

So...how close is 'pretty close?'

[maege]

Oh, okay, so I am a suspect. At least we had the decency to be honest with Niles, but don't worry, I can take a hint.

[Sharply—She's heard the day's public discussions, and she's feeling awfully singled out, as far as alibuddy interrogations go.]

Close enough that the raccoons didn't feel the need to chase us back into our rooms for not having a buddy, like they do. I skipped going to my room at night at all because I didn't want to end up without an alibi again and I didn't want to accidentally leave one of my friends to die again, so I ran into Will at nearly the very beginning of nighttime, immediately decided we were hanging out, and didn't let us split up for a second.

Happy? You want a drawn map of our travel route?

[please say no you know this setting map makes no sense]

[suppressthedark]

[Oh my god-]

You're not the one I was suspecting!

[Jesus Mae!!!]

...But no, I'm good. Thank you for putting up with me.

[maege]

[DON'T COME OVER HERE AND CONDESCEND HER AND SINGLE HER OUT IF YOU AREN'T READY FOR HER TO BE SNIPPY ABOUT IT???]

So Will's a suspect. [If she's not the one being suspected, but she is the one being interrogated, then...! But actually she likes that even less than being suspected herself??] Yeah, well, I made sure he was stuck with me, so it wasn't him.

[hands on her hips!!]

You're welcome. Now go make someone else put up with you instead.

[ecthelion]

I'm not lying about just being asleep. I guess I could have been less tired than I thought, I don't exactly keep track...

[suppressthedark]

...Fair enough.

[He shrugs his uninjured shoulder.]

Sorry to put you on the spot - I've got to ask these things, you know?

[ecthelion]

I understand, yeah.

[suppressthedark]

Thanks, Ein.

[It's not like he really likes interrogating people...]

If you want, you're free to ask me about what I did.
