Hmmm. I guess I'll have to think of something else.

[oh. right]

By the way, spend the entire day with me. [oh?] For Winter's task. We'll get once point each for it.

[voidbreaker]

[ this seems like a natural progression. ]

Keep the rabbit hat, you look ridiculous with it.

They're not gonna count it against us? We went on a date last week and that's the one I reported.

[survivaltricks]

There's no rule about completing tasks with the same person multiple weeks in a row.

[it's fine!! probably]

Besides, if we want to beat Shadows, we probably need to be better at finding people on our team and completing tasks with them.

[voidbreaker]

Yeah. Ain't that the truth -- along with finding people Shadow's team and trying to crowbar information about their murder presents from them.

[ but hey. it's buddy day now. ]

[survivaltricks]

[a breathless laugh about that, but it's humorless]

I haven't had much luck on that front, but Lili and Dick have. Have you spoken to Lili?

[voidbreaker]

Couple of times, yeah. I know we can all take a solid guess at once of Shadow's team member now, at least.

[survivaltricks]

Yeah. Let's not say their name, because they don't deserve to be put through the wringer again.

[JUUUST SAYING]

We're aware of six of the items they've received for winning. One item that removes footprints, one that increases hearing ability, one that removes a curse for fifteen minutes, one that induces nightmares, one that lets them see perfectly in the darkest water for a certain amount of time, and one that lets them borrow someone's non-camp related abilities for one day.

[voidbreaker]

C'mon. [ he sounds pretty unimpressed. ] I'm not that stupid, give me some credit.

All of them are kinda over the top in their own way. Combine some of them with murder and you've got a huge advantage, but that's kinda the point isn't it? You think it's been members of that team doing all the killings?

[survivaltricks]

I know you're not. You're actually pretty sharp.

[he is 100% sure he and Ash are thinking about the same person, he just doesn't want to say their name!!]

That's Lili's theory. I think someone from Shadows definitely killed Yu, but I don't know about Hikage. It's possible.

[a beat]

I guess if someone out there admitted to having a smoke bomb we'd know for sure.

[voidbreaker]

[ hey, he's fine. ]

It's not a bad one. They've all got the advantages -- even if they weren't planning to kill someone initially, if someone came after them they've got the means to fight back in a game of kill or be killed.


Yeah, no one's gonna do that out loud right now.

[survivaltricks]

. . . ha. And Belph did say it wasn't outside the realm of possibility for Hikage to have been awake to kill someone himself.

[. . .]

There's just. . . so much we don't know.

[voidbreaker]

Our first case was an accidental killing. I don't think it's impossible to assume one or both of our cases were either the same, or a self-defence.

[ ... ]

Or people are being put up to carry out weekly killings. It wouldn't count as possession or anything, but one of the people from the castle said they had people chosen each week to commit murder. Picked a target, and as long as one of them carried it out they completed their "role" -- and both of them would be considered guilty either way, as they both played a part in choosing who to target.

So we might have more than one guilty party on our hands each week.

[survivaltricks]

You're not the first person to bring up that theory. Natalie and Belph did, too.

[so yeah, he heard about the rotating mafia in both Robowest and Grimm]

Those who were chosen were "coerced" into it, but they weren't possessed or corrupted. They were still. . . themselves.

It's very possible we have something like that going on here.

[voidbreaker]

It's not like we brought that serial killer guy with us. And everyone else seems to have peopl willing to vouch for them and their character here so...

Something's probably forcing someone's hand. It seems like the most logical explanation right now, and better than nothing.

[survivaltricks]

And until we actually find someone who killed someone else willingly, then. . .

[he just]

[gives a helpless shrug]

[voidbreaker]

You think someone here is?

[ it's always a possibility, but ... a lot of them have people vouching for then. also haha huaiseng. ]

[survivaltricks]

They have to be.

Otherwise, why were Yu and Hikage killed?

[voidbreaker]

...

[ he looks thoughtful. ]

Maybe. If people though they were a threat or something.
