MIDNIGHT/DAY 2 - suspicion

[ In the spirit of Ace Attorney, the game where murders happen but NO ONE ACTUALLY SEES THE ACTUAL THING EXCEPT FOR THE PERPETRATORS…

The night has ended. You might have ousted someone, but NOTHING HAPPENS. You go back to your rooms and you find some samurai dogs by your bedside. At least there's food. Better than nothing. But you feel tired. It's been a long and stressful day. Could you even sleep at that rate?

In the middle of the night, you might hear a loud thud. If you wake up (or if you were already awake) and check the hallway, you'll find a bust—or its remnants—by the mirror closer to the Hawthorne and Gavin rooms. The statue is coloured… pink? Magenta? Well, whatever.

Behind the bust is a body… a dead body. Yup, that's right.

If you approach it, you'll find the dead body of Myriam Scuttlebutt. There's no box, just the young girl. If you saw her without the guise of her box, you'll realise that she isn't wearing her school uniform. She has a green jumpsuit on. Her arms were raised and had some red markings on her wrist, as if her hands had been tied. An awl was lodged in her abdomen. Dried blood by her wound, as if the blood had seeped through from her wound.

Myriam Scuttlebutt has been taken out by the allies of the Bad Badger. You have all been warned. You should have expected this.

If you decide to do a headcount, you'll find that one team is missing. One team with two members in it. The room to the Engarde room is swinging open. Do you check it out?

Upon entering, you'll find Matt Engarde's corpse placed conveniently on a chair. You'd think it's Matt, anyway. He seems to be wearing the Nickel Samurai costume. He's seated with his head facing the ground. There's a scarf on his neck, placed rather too tightly. Did he did from strangulation…? By the chair is an open guitar case, and a vanity with a wine glass on top of it.

By the only mirror in the room is Simon Keye's body, hanging frrom the ceiling. Nearby is a coffee table, and an envelope with the police department's seal on it. Whoever opens it will read a letter that reads "proto badgr kill."

If you go back to the library, you'll find Myriam's mirror still standing, but it doesn't function as a mirror anymore. You'll find a portrait of Aristotle Means instead, like a huge picture frame. A huge X painted in red covers about half of the portrait. The same goes for Matt and Simon Keye's mirrors - except Simon's mirror also has Matt's face on it. L O L.

The other mirrors have names again… although if you count, there seems to be only ten teams now: ]

[ If you've still got an appetite, there are calzones (WHICH IS BASICALLY THE GRANDFATHER OF PIZZAS - THANK YOU PARKS AND RECREATION) and sushi (NOT BURGERS) that is edible in the dining hall. If you are thirsty, here is a water dispenser, as well as a bowl of punch. Not alcoholic. ]

[ 00:01 MARCH 3 EST: Day 2 begins, and a new suspicion poll pops up. ONLY TEN TEAMS REMAIN.

00 MARCH 4 EST: A clue will be given. Suspicion poll closes at MIDNIGHT.

CLUE!!! (Handcuffs can be broken, feel free to play around with it.)

And so, he is the one in charge of carrying out the sentences... That makes some sort of sense.

... What is your current theory? Do you suppose this badger could be one of us?
bewrightback: (hobo | figure it out on your own)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-04 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know... Is anyone here truly capable of that? After all, last night... That thing came out of the mirrors and talked to me. I think everyone else was in the room at the time... [It's hard to remember for sure, because then he ran into a mirror and conked out.]

For now, I've kind of been... theory-less.
bewrightback: (hobo | it was this big)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-04 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
That would be really embarrassing, Kristoph. [He says it that way to cloak how pissed he would feel if they really were wrong. If his sparing Kristoph led to Myriam's death...]

I don't know if I'd be able to help you there. But I guess we'll find out whenever the time comes for those clues to surface.
devilsworkday: sell you on me after all that I have done (001. but no words ever did sell you)

[personal profile] devilsworkday 2015-03-04 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
[Mm.]

Bear in mind that wouldn't imply certain guilt. There are two innocent parties pointed out, supposedly; there's nothing saying that I'm not one of them.

[...]

Do you believe me, when it comes to that?

He was just a performer with a knack for being at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Kind of like we are now, I suppose.

[She almost feels bad for turning him down this time, because she can tell he's having a tough moment and the return to the goofy hug-loving persona is a way of coping, but if she hugs him now he might start to expect it, and then where will she be?]

Sorry, I'm just not the touchy-feely type.

Only indirectly... She was a student at the school, and she testified at the trial. Some of her photographs wound up helping to act as vital evidence for getting Means convicted.

[ That is a wise move, Aura-pie. ]

You should spend some time away from those robots, Miss Blackquill, or you might just turn into one yourself, heh heh.

Did you know the other victim? Miss Scuttlebutt?

'Sup, Mr Ambassador. [He takes a listless bite of calzone.] Man, why does this stuff always happen to me?

[personal profile] butzhurt 2015-03-04 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, dude, you're a total creep, but whatever. He's met worse.]

You mean actors, right? Because Matt Engarde wasn't actually a warrior as far as I'd heard. More like a jerk. I get back from Tibet, right? First thing I find out is that butthole got some goon of his to kidnap Maya Fey.
bewrightback: (hobo | thinky thoughts with myself)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-04 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
I do believe that it's possible that you're innocent in this instance. And I want to believe it. [That's for his own peace of mind more than anything else, though.]

If it does come up again, I definitely won't be jumping to conclusions.
devilsworkday: i promise it will help (005. you can fool yourself)

[personal profile] devilsworkday 2015-03-04 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
That's what I wanted to know.

[...This is so damn awkward.]

I imagine your vote was through solidarity with your daughter, but I appreciate it regardless.

[He gives a slight nod.]

That may have been one factor. It didn't really help that Mr. Keyes almost immediately began threatening her...

[He actually shudders for a moment; it is kind of spooky to talk about the deceased while standing in the room with them.]

I don't really want to hold this over you. It doesn't feel right. [Oh, there's that thing I have that he doesn't. Morals...] But the fact is that you have another chance now, Kristoph.
devilsworkday: it's fucking people over (002. this thing i consider my only art)

[personal profile] devilsworkday 2015-03-04 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
Do I...? Because from where I'm standing, I'm a dead man either way. In the grand scheme of things, anyway.

[Just judging by speech, he seems remarkably untroubled by that, though he's decidedly tenser than usual when he says it; he doesn't relax as he continues.]

Nothing I do here is going to absolve me of what I've already done; don't you think I know what's going to happen as soon as we're out of this situation?

[He's smiling again. Something to do with his goddamn face.]

Don't get me wrong - I haven't forgotten what I said to you last night, and I intend to follow through with it as far as you'll allow. But it won't be because I want to prove myself to anyone, including you, nor is it through any sort of deeply-buried desire to be a better person.

I just refuse to give whomever shoved us all in this godforsaken box the satisfaction of killing me.

[You know. As one does.]

But it's a nice gesture, Wright. Don't let me make you think it's not.

CLUE

Hey! Who the hell's running this place?!

[ You might not be in the dining hall, but you sure hear a loud voice coming from there. And you'll find a very angry man. Wolf. Man wolf.

He's holding a pizza box. ]


Delivery for some-- Wright bozo. [ He puts a box of pizza on the dining table. If you check it out, it's a 12" pizza with green peppers, olives, and… chocolate chips. ]

But I have better things to do here than just deliver pizza. That ain't my job in the first place.

[ He walks around the room, circling the people around. Assuming that EVERY team is in the dining hall, he handcuffs the following people:

Raymond Shields and Aura Blackquill, aka Team Jacques Portsman
Mia Fey and Maya Fey, aka Team Redd White
Simon Blackquill and Godot, aka Team The Phantom ]


Guilty. Guilty. Guilty!

[ Then he looks at the others - the… seemingly innocent ones. ]

Normally, I'd be arresting all these guys, but you guys gotta use some logic and figure out who the real bad guy is, eh? Why don't you guys do that now? I'll be on my way. This wolf's got bigger prey to catch.

[ And much like the badger, he steps into a mirror and disappears. What the flying fuck? ]

[ Wh...at just happened... Pearl just watches, dismayed when she sees her cousins handcuffed. But seriously, what the flying kittens just happened.

Is it at least good looking pizza? ]


I...

[ How does one respond to this. ]
bewrightback: (ngggghhhhoobjection?!)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-04 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Phoenix Wright speeds down when he hears an unfamiliar voice, and he sees... a wolf man??? Is this some kind of part of badger lure he missed out on. The Loud Wolf?!

Because of what happens, he kind of just stares in shock as the whole scene unfolds. Then he finally speaks up and first he points towards the pizza box.]


I- I'm Wright...!

[Then he points towards Maya and Mia handcuffed.]

...But that's wrong!

[...Oh wait the wolf guy's gone already.]

Who the heck was that, anyway?!

[...Yes he changed back into the suit to stop the weird looks.]

At...least we don't have to guess which teams we're supposed to pick from this time?

[ ?????????????

But the choices aren't any more clear this time than they were last time. ]
spiritpearls: (OH ► ok)

[personal profile] spiritpearls 2015-03-04 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
He didn't even stay to receive payment...?

[ DON'T YOU PAY FOR PIZZA ]

Oh, and we didn't even tip him!

He's some weird dude from Interpol that keeps bickering with Edgey.
