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...]

((VOTE!

Ichigo-kun. . . I didn't kill Erika-chan. I would kill Will Graham had I the chance to.

[suppressthedark]

But you could frame him to make it look like he was the one who killed Erika, by bringing up what Tsumugi and Dazai have been saying on Recyclr.

You did do just that - by getting me, Rin, And Akira alone to tell us your theory.

Listen - I don't like Graham, either. But I don't think Tsumugi was talking about Erika's death.

[He continues, even if he doesn't look happy about it.]

On top of that, if we take that into account...There are two outcomes that would be the best for you. Either by successfully framing Graham and then being able to leave because you 'won' the game, or by a random vote happening, which you'd still be able to leave afterwards.

...I'm not trying to single you out. I'm just thinking about this logically.

Ichigo-kun, I am neither thoughtful nor methodical! I am flattered you think me capable, but I would never do so! It's not in my nature. If I committed a crime, it would be because I wanted to, and not with any large chessboard of moves planned out!

[suppressthedark]

Hiyori, I don't know you that well. And I'm used to being around people who are very good at hiding how smart they are.

[AHAHAHAH AIZEN...]

And you keep saying it's not in your 'personality', which doesn't excuse anything.

[respendent]

I publicly threatened to take out Erika-chan's eye very early on. It's both a voucher for my impulsiveness, my lack of desire to hide things, and that Erika-chan was unlikely to trust me as a possible partner!

[suppressthedark]

Except she might go with you if she didn't have any other choice. Her partner for the night ended up getting grounded by someone else, so she was alone...and even if you'd threatened her before, Erika wasn't someone who'd want to stay in during a killing night.

[respendent]

That might well be, but I didn't do it! I've told the truth this entire time, why would I stop now?!

[suppressthedark]

You said earlier that you wanted to kill Graham, but you didn't say anything about killing someone else if you happened to meet them.

You've admitted you threatened her before, and you just said you're impulsive. And I'm sorry, but I feel like you'd hide this if you thought Graham had a good enough chance of being convicted.

[respendent]

He obviously has no chance of being convicted now! If I was lying, why wouldn't I stop now? It's obvious my life being at stake is not what I'm concerned about, or I wouldn't have just provoked Will again!

[suppressthedark]

That's not true. We all know the rules, right?

[he opens up his tablet to the rules, as a refresher.]

Don't hurt each other physically. Considering we've seen two people be killed for violating the bullying rule, it stands to think that hurting another person would cause the same punishment.

You were trying to get him to hurt you so he'd be punished.

[respendent]

[ Hiyori turns white looking at the tablet.

Like. He was just provoking Will, and forgot.

but okay, he has nothing to say to that, really. ]

Fine, Ichigo-kun. Vote as you like, since my words mean nothing.

[respendent]

Ahh, I wonder if this karma. For all those who sank into the shadows so our light could shine brighter, I suppose it makes sense that this is my fate. Yes, they didn't deserve it either, not at all. Those five eccentrics, nor anyone else. Ahaha . . .

[suppressthedark]

...

[He looks away, clearly not happy with where his thoughts have taken him.]

....I'm sorry, for what it's worth. I don't want to have to suspect you, or...anyone.

[And while he's curious about what Hiyori's saying...it's definitely not his place to ask. That's something that he refuses to trample on.]

...None of us deserve this.

[respendent]

[ Hiyori has nothing to say, which isn't very common. He just turns away and goes to. Change clothing. Okay Hiyori. ]
