Welcome to Gaia! ::

Oujay listened as Ephraim explained his thoughts on why he was accusing Blossom. He had to agree it seemed very logical. But he listened as Blossom was not helping her case as she almost was proving Ephraim's point even more. However she said something that really caught his eye. It made him ponder who it could be for a while.

His pondering stopped as Ephraim seemed to have quickly retracted his statement and apologized.

"Well we know Ephraim has already retracted his accusation against Blossom and I also believe that she's not the killer, however..." Oujay paused for a moment and took in a deep breath as he began to explain who he believes to be the killer.

"Blossom said something very interesting that caught my eye. She stated how she would have probably gotten some sort of injury if she was going against a wyvern and she's right. Anyone who fought a full grown wyvern would more or less get injured...if they were fighting it close ranged or if it was even awake at all. I then remembered we have bow users in the group and I thought maybe one of them could be the killer, but what just occurred now with the food poisoning made me realize that it's probably someone else. I believe that the person who poison's Vaida's food has some connection to the inside of the mansion."

He then slowly raised his hand and points at who he believes to be the killer. "I accuse Rin."

"Point One, going back to Blossom's statement about the wyvern. I would like to point out the fact that she can use staves. I propose that she could've used the same beserk staff on the wyvern which would explain the Vanessa's and her pegasus' death. And then she couldhave used a sleep staff to put the creature to sleep before easily finishing it off."

"Point two, the death of Sunil and the maid. The butler said "perhaps Sunil tried getting to the birds and caught the killer in the process of killing the servant and finished him off too." I would like to propose a different idea to the situation since his statement was only assumed to be true. Sunil was there first and the reason the maid took so long was because she was stopping him from eating the birds and we know that the person who went to check up on the was Rin after she was away for so long. Rin got there and saw the two there and finished them off at the same time. Now you guys might be wondering how she could possibly do that herself being that there was no blood on her. Remember, she can use staves. She could have easily casted beserk on both of them and stood afar and watched as they took each other out."

"Point Three, though she dresses up as a maid, we all know she's actually not a servant of this household. With that attire on she could easily slipped into the kitchen inconspicuously and added poison to Vaida's dish before it was brought out to her here. Along with that she could easily roam around the mansion as if she works here too and could'be taken out other people like Jaren for example."

Oujay sighed as he finished giving out his reasonings. He wasn't sure if he was right, but all his thoughts only led to one person. They needed to find out who the killer is soon before everyone ends up being dead.

[accusing Rin]

[[will edit in a proper post later, maybe.

The murderer would need a motive, a reason to kill each person. Jaren, Enailios, Wallace, Sunil, Dietrich, Nasir, Vanessa, and Vaida have been killed. Jaren, Enailios, Wallace, and Sunil were her friends. She has nothing against Nasir and Vanessa. She dislikes Vaida, but she would not harm an innocent, nor purposely contribute to all of this hysteria by killing people.

The accused would need a motive, and would need evidence. The murderer would have signs of injury or signs of immediate use on their weapon, neither of which Blossom, in-character, has. Whoever has been killing people is specifically going after those who are most vocal in an attempt to throw suspicion off of themselves. The only people in the room who had been previously accused and had also been levying accusations of their own were Legault and Ephraim. And Bozo.

Blossom accuses Ephraim and supports the logic behind Rin's accusation.]]

"...First of all, I would appreciate not being referred to as an it."

It started out as a mumur, a sideways glance towards the assassin to hammer in that it was indeed addressed to him. A sniffle was silence and red, bloodshot eyes were wiped clean of tears.

"Only a wee baby cries... Keep a stiff upper lip now, pip pip."

The cleric muttered in a sing-song tone, high in pitch despite the low volume. And so it was that she was to be chosen next to be thrown to the dogs. Perhaps it was just inevitable, a destiny written the moment the storm had began. Her body trembled, a sound escaping from trembling lips for all to hear. But...It wasn't stifled sobs, or even a shiver of fear.

She was laughing.

The cleric actually had the gall, or the lack of sense, to burst out into an airy laugh, almost vacant really. It started out as a titter, and then grew in volume. "Heehee...Hahaha...HAHAHA."

"Well...It seems that my fate has already been decided, that would be a majority vote. Wait wait...That would be 10. And four have already decided..." It was at this time she began to count on her fingers, holding them over her head as she twisted to gaze at different angles. "Yes...Well then, perhaps it will do to have my final testimony heard. Or shall we proceed to the gallows?"

She ran her fingers across the table in front of her, as if it was a mini-her, before stopping in place. And then...Her finger leapt from the table before laying still in her lap.

"Good night...Sweet prince." She whispered before pressing her other finger to her lips to silence anyone. "Now let me tell you a story. There was once a Rin, and this Rin decided to take shelter from the rain. And this shelter that she found was in a place of complete strangers. She knew not a single soul. But she thought that it would be alright."

She began with her seemingly disturbed ramblings, focusing on the point of a motive for said murders, despite it digging her deeper and deeper into the grave.

"Now, there was a man by the name of Oujay. Like a shadow, he walked without a notice through the grounds. He got the notion that she was behind the horrible happenings of their entrapment. As if staves were a reliable method of murder...It was curious. Yet, it got curiouser still. It happened again and again...Without fail. Without detection. Her ways increasing the body count...Were flawless. Surely, it was a miracle in the making. Thankfully, she had been blessed with an collection of such staves. Truly...A blessing. And she hid under a diguise. It was a wonderful, beautiful, accidental cloak that hid her from sight. It gave her the strength of a hundred men, with which trees were chopped, men were hung, and a poison was added to a meal a day after it was ripped from her. Truly, she was a specter. "

"Wonderful fairy-tale...Don't you think? But as for whoever it could be...I'll leave that up to the evidence. Surely, it dawn on us...Perhaps a Hero could hold the truth. He's certainly strong enough to save us. A sharp kid too, like an axe. Wouldn't even know he's here..."

[Tl;dr: Rin has no motives, lacks a sure-fire way to commit the murders as staves are known to fail. She also lacks the physical strength to carry out the first string of murders, though the idea of multiple killers is still in effect. Also, it was impossible for her to sneak into the kitchen to poison the meal. Her maid outfit was confiscated when she was found with Sunil and her original clothes returned. Her disguise was gone.

Suspecting Oujay.]

[...GRAAAAARGH!]

Bozo felt Bozo's ear twitch. Then Bozo's eye twitch. Then Bozo's WHOLE BODY started shaking. Furiously.

Then Bozo snapped.

BUWAHAHAHA! FOOLISH MORTALS! HOW BOZO LAUGHS AT YOUR INCOMPETENCE! DO YOU NOT SEE THE ERRORS OF YOUR WAYS?! THIS ENTIRE TIME, THINKING OF WHO IS CAPABLE OF MURDER IS IRRELEVANT! THINKING OF WHY IS IRRELEVANT AS WELL! YOU. BOTH OF YOU. YOU ARE BOTH QUICK TO PLEAD INNOCENCE BASED ON US THINKING YOU COULD NEVER DO IT, WHEN IN FACT, IT MAKES YOU MORE SUSPICIOUS!

Is what Bozo wanted to say, but it mostly just came out as "Boyo boyo!"

Bozo wasn't very fluent in humie talk.

[I've been quiet a long time because of the target that gets painted on me, but I'm getting annoyed now.

Whenever someone gets accused, people start referencing to RP elements as to why they aren't a killer. I find this extremely peculiar, since, as you should remember:

We haven't been chosen as killers based on our characters. We've been chosen as killers because of pure, dumb luck. This entire game isn't a test of roleplaying skills, it's not a roleplay based on deductive RP abilities, it's based on who gets killed and for what reason. When someone gets accused, and their only defense is because their character wouldn't kill others, I get extremely suspicious of them. For that reason, this round Bozo agrees to the accusations of Rin and Blossom, because all they've been doing from the start is to just run about and express sadness over the people dead, as if to give them the alibi that "if my character is saddened enough over peoples' deaths, then surely they can't accuse me!"

But I'm not done. I've compiled a list of my suspicions, ranked as Innocent, Unsure and Suspect. (Obviously people killed by the killers are innocent).

Innocent: Ephraim, Innes, Oujay
Unsure: Iris, Aruna, Ninian, Sue
Suspect: Legault, Enailios, Blossom, Rin, Dietrich

The Innocents are basically just people who have done too much of an effort figuring out who the real killers are. Unsure people are the ones who can swing both ways for me, because they've either not done enough to warrant suspicion or they've been inactive, whichever works for you. The suspects are people that I find suspicious behaviour in when talking about the game, Blossom and Rin being there for what I stated before, Legault because he seems too shadowy, Dietrich because the mentality fits...

But Enailios I'm sure of. Right after we killed him, he went on about how innocent he was, but then he started talking about the game even after being killed, which I can't find as anything other than just trying to throw suspicions off the other killers. I mean, you're not even supposed to be able to talk as a ghost.

Also, notice how Bozo isn't on the list?

Why on earth would I list Bozo as anything, when anyone could be a killer, even Bozo?

Stop playing this game like a roleplay. Start playing it like Mafia. Depending on how many killers are left, I'd say there's only 4-6 rounds left before the game is over, either if we kill the killers, or the killers kill us.

Almost forgot: Bozo agrees to the accusations of Rin and Blossom.

Aruna sat in silence with her tail coiled below her during dinner. Seeing Vaida cough and gasp for air, the snake woman's first thought she was choking. When the butler stated it was poison, Aruna was slightly shocked. What a horrible way to die.

After the cook was questioned, the butler asked for input on the situation like always since the murders began to occur. Aruna gathered her thoughts and listened to the accusations. First was Ephraim's claim against Blossom. It would have been more believable if he hadn't apologized for it afterward. Blossom's sanity had definitely started to wan, but like almost everyone in the room Aruna pitied her coworker. For now the girl was safe, but suspicion still lingered.

Next came the hero's accusation against the cleric Aruna had helped when the mounts and that pegasus knight were killed. She didn't want to think a timid healer would kill, but an obvious change made Rin more menacing. The logic behind means couldn't be ignored. Aruna agreed.

Blossom's retaliation accusation seemed off. She didn't have much proof against the lancer like method for the killings. Ephraim was lower on her list of possible killers.

Last came the suspicion of Oujay. Aruna had her doubts about Oujay since the cat mentioned his mistrust of the swordsman. However, since the accusation came from Rin, it has less meaning this time.

[Yes to Rin. No to Ephraim. No for the time being to Blossom and Oujay.]

...I'll keep this going. I'm killing the person who kept me waiting and will do so to other special role people who do it in the future. Special roles will have A day to inform me of their choices, strongly enforced, from now on. I do not have to be online. I accept offline messages and PMs. It is not hard to just drop off a name and it is not my responsibility to get to you. If you didn't intend to be able to, you shouldn't have joined the game.

One more thing; keep the RP to a minimum. Clearly we as a guild take RP way too seriously to have it incorporated in a game without letting it take over.



The majority of people believe that Rin is guilty. As the Butler goes to apprehend Rin, she goes cackling mad out of the manor, runs into the river and gets swept away.

Everybody goes lolwut and then goes to bed. In the morning, Aruna, Sue and Ninian went downstairs together to help out with breakfast and were stunned by what they saw. Innes and Iris were on the dining table, snuggling each other. Innes was naked and Iris was wearing all of Ephraim's clothing. All of it. So basically Ephraim has nothing in his room to wear. Aruna, disgusted that the table was now likely filthy with who knows what, went to wake them but soon discovered that they were dead. Ninian fainted and Sue instantly started freaking out.

Everyone was eventually gathered-- Ephraim was offered either a maids outfit or a spare tiny towel that barely covered anything-- and stared at the scene. The butler remained silent, opened his mouth to speak, and then closed it and sighed. "...I don't even know, what are your thoughts?"

Blossom panics again. She tries to keep it a bit more low-key this time. Another friend dead, why?! ;____;

Blossom tries to see what killed them, probably fails as she's not a detective, and does not levy any accusations at this time. She does, however, attempt to console Sue.

Bozo ponders how Maid Prince can be both alive in a maid outfit and dead at the same time.
