Day 18

[pandatrash]

[Only 13 remain, and the killing night is coming.]

[The tablet has a few things it would like to tell you:

1. Since the snitch already let the cat out of the bag, we'll confirm that Akira Kurusu's prize will be granted at the end of the game. He had a special deal because we thought it would be hilarious if he killed somebody (we were right)! So when all this is over, we'll bring everybody back to life and send them wherever they ask to go.

2. But, hmm, we didn't really mention how we'd bring them back, did we? Or in what state? Or how many legs they would have? Might still be worth your while to live to the end! Just sayin'!

3. Also, that sweet deal is no longer up for grabs: If you want your carrot, you have to kill AND you have to avoid the following execution.

4. But don't worry! We'll remove sticks for anyone who kills OR dies OR makes six friends, without further conditions. We're so generous!

[wwwhy is she so close. he scoots over some...but leaves the tablet where it was so she can continue to look at it, since she's doing that anyway]

--I found some sort of logic puzzle on the network. I'm not really sure what it's for, though.

[maege]

On the what?

[please she's from the year like negative two thousand you're gonna have to back up a bit]

Can I see? [LIKE SHE ISN'T LIKE RIGHT THE FUCK HERE TRYING TO GET A LOOK ANYWAY]

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

I can't think of how much closer you could possibly need to be to do so...

[Honestly, she's already basically completely in front of both the puzzle and his notes so what's he even going to do? scowl? spoilers, the answer is 'yes' though he doesn't actually expect it to do anything. He indicates the clues with a finger]

Look, it's a word puzzle. Work out the clues to figure out who it's talking about...though I'm not sure what to do from there.

[maege]

Huh... H-hey, what's this about— [p-points at the clue about the decapitation victim living next to her?!?! SHE DOESN'T LIKE THAT]

...Maybe the person who's in the answer...knows something? Needs to do something?

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

First, we've got to figure out what the answer is. No point in worrying about the rest before that. Everything should be here in the rules. There shouldn't be any need for guessing.

[maege]

How long have you been trying to figure it out yourself? You'll probably be better off if you don't go it alone, it looks confusing.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

Not that long. And if there were more people who looked like they could--

[he cuts himself off, clears his throat]

...I'm not against outsourcing some of the labor.

[maege]

[she caught that but also. like. can't blame him]

Hey, worst case scenario, we all say a bunch of stupid stuff and you ignore it, best case, we get a breakthrough?

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

[pinches the bridge of his nose, fuckin cooperation]

...It can't slow anything down. Fine.

[shares the thing]

[maege]

That's the spirit!

[CLAPS HIM ON THE BACK why is she so up in people's personal space all the time]

...Hey, wanna show me how to find it on my own thingamabob? [her tablet. sorry kaiba]

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

[all the females here are so touchy-feely, why this]

...It should be shared over social media now. Where's your Recyclr app?

[maege]

Social whodia?

[shoves her tablet at him tbh]

Uh, you tell me.

[she already made a recyclr tweet today and everything but she is BASICALLY A GRANDMA]

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

[he is a CEO and genius programmer why is he demoted to basic tech support now D:]

...Click on the picture that looks like a trash can.

[maege]

...

Click it?

[usually she just touches it now you've got her all confused. YEAR NEGATIVE TWO THOUSAND]

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

[okay he tried, that's his patience reserves for the next two years, (honestly not her fault but) he's just gonna snatch it and do it]

[maege]

[she doesn't even blame him tbh she's pretty dumb]

Ehehe, sorry, still haven't adjusted to, like...electricity.

[IN. GENERAL.]

Thanks!

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

It's...fine.

[no it's not fine he has no patience for this ever but as irritating things go this one is actually quite nostalgic for home so he'll allow it]

...Anyway, from there, it should work.

[maege]

[HAPPY TO HELP, by being stupid......

she touches a couple of things and tries some scrolling and seems satisfied that it is, in fact, working]

All right, let's give it a go!

[she's just gonna. stay right here, though. hi kaiba]

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

[look

this is about as spiky a character design as you can get without literally sticking to things. does he look like the type to get too close to?

(he does smell okay at least, like raccoon-provided soap and money)]

...

[maege]

[fair, but being alone sounds Ultra Stressful and this is a good distraction from literally anything and everything else? kaiba's ok. he's kind of a jerk just in general but there are bigger jerks here. he's all right.

with a little huffed out sigh—] Man, this is tricky.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

[wow, he is not even the biggest jerk, thank the god cards yugi can't see him now]

There's a lot of them. You've got to think in three dimensions.

[do you??? he seems happy enough to be working on it though (until puzzledad beats him at puzzling)]

[maege]

[truly, he could be worse. mae even thinks he's pretty okay, as a matter of fact.]

There's a lot to it, huh. Even if it's just matching—You match each, uh, vic...tim... each person to a weapon and...cause of...death...

[why]

Right?

[...]

Man, some of these are just mean.

[ACTUALLY NO THIS IS KINDA STRESSFUL!!!]

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

Par for the course for this place. ...If you aren't up for it, no one's making you push yourself.

[maege]

No, but if I sit around doing nothing I'm probably going to go completely insane? So, [gestures at her tablet] this. Anyway, wouldn't wanna waste all your hard work getting this up and running, either!

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

Fair enough. Not much point in going completely insane right at the end when you could've had a good two weeks of crazy by now.
