Well, getting rid of Ariana's enemy had been so easy she could barely believe it. She couldn't help but be pleased about that, though Lorata of course felt a little bad that Austri had been the first one out of the game. It was just bad luck, being on the opposite side of her! But now that that was done, and all the consequences had played out, she wasn't entirely sure who to suspect next. Ariana probably had plenty of enemies, but her card had only supplied the one. She'd have to improvise!
Of course, there were other things to think about! Like the fact that the Captain was playing the game too! She whirled to find him again, resisting the temptation to push her eye patch up to help the process. He'd been trading words with the blueblood who'd seconded her accusation so enthusiastically and she took a moment to consider that. Well then!
"Ohh, but he just might be on to something!" The pirate queen smiled pleasantly. "Who would suspect someone who was supposed to uphold the Queen's law? What a cover!" Mystery stories weren't really the sort she tended towards, but even she knew there were twists and turns. And if Kursha was accusing her, he probably had a good reason to suspect her! "Isn't it kind of suspicious how loud you're being about it?"

[+] Kursha Vidari
Round two, and he had Lorata backing him up. It almost made it too easy.
Suddenly he remembered his character card. Ariana Grande was supposed to be his enemy. Or his spades crush. Yeah, like the latter was going to happen. While there was no rule saying he could not play to win, he might as well try to play in the spirit of the game. Unfortunately, that meant that meant rebuking Lorata. He would try not to let her down too much.
But first, he might as well make Pyskgi sweat a little more.
“Let's not get too hasty,” Kursha said. Nevermind the fact that he had jumped to an accusation for no other reason than pure spite. He turned to the faux-blueblood. “What do you have to say for yourself?” As he spoke, he gave her a grin. He could help her, but she had to ask for it.

Fhoure Twntee rolls their eyes at all this murder. Well, it looks like they already caught the conjurer's minion, and the conjuror killed one of the psionics! They supposed that was good. The minion death not the psionic death"I'll have to agree with Ariana... you are being so contrary one might think you're hiding something, Legislacerator." They put a hand to their chin thoughtfully. "And pulling your moirail into it to further deflect your own guilt." They figured Booyew seemed as guilty as anyone, but it was easy to see anyone who threw that big a fuss probably was hiding something! Who wouldn't want to trust the person with a hook hand, that was super cool.
Eridia had to admit she felt a little relieved. She was actually pulling this off, which was good and the other praised her for it, which was great. "Jealous? Me?" Mayree said as her purpleblooded master purposely attracted them some attention and practically ran her fan across her skin. The maid didn't mind at all, this was all part of the little black game between them. "It was just a small question Ree. Yet it seems to me like you enjoy thinking so."
Then everyone started accusing the hemo-anon troll and the little wiggler tried pinning this mess on her. She couldn't keep quiet though, what if they started questioning her? Lucky for Mayree, the little snotball got executed out of the game. But still she said, "My relationship with my employer is none of your business." It also seemed like Booyew and Delici were hitting it off. Why did they seem so familiar? Eridia didn't bother to check out who else was playing (besides Psygki, but really she wasn't aware of the fact she was playing as a blueblood). Whatever, it didn't matter.
Everyone started to point the finger onto Booyew. Throwing suspicion to a high blood on the side of the law was… Interesting. Mayree scratched her chin and tried to make her own judgement of things. Ariana was a suspicious character, maybe she was looking to eliminate all the variables so no one could find out the truth. Would she be rash about it, no. The famed rainbow drinker was another suspicious troll.
“If we are all going to jump into conclusions…" She mumbled. "Are you all forgetting the rainbowdrinker, Fhowne? Surely they have to be link to… That murderous thing.”
She turned to Gahree, surely she felt the same way.
Reemus watched on as one of the trolls was voted to die; he didn't have an opinion on the matter because he didn't even know who to vote for. He didn't have any reason to! It was hard!
And then someone was murdered. The majority was wrong. So they could still die at any time. Two deaths a night was a lot. On top of that, more trolls started to speak up. Accusations were flying left and right. Reemus's vision kept darting from troll to troll as they voted for a variety of different trolls. One troll sounded like they had a good argument, then another one did, then another, and it wasn't easy at all! He didn't know who to believe!
In lieu of thinking for his own self, and in an effort to not get overwhelmed, he started to bark and chase his coattails. He was allowed! Right?

Elidae Bonbon had been in complete awe by the entire performance; Frossa was such a great actress! So talented! And Alifax, too! Even though it was a grim display, she quietly clapped for their clear efforts. Afterwards, she looked around for anyone she might possibly know. Oh! It was Lorata and Kursha! And her "moiral"! With a goofy smile, Elidae bounded for them.
"Oh my gosh, hey gu-!" Halting mid-word, Elidae kept her mouth open after realizing she probably should have stayed in character, then tried her best to look a little squinty. Her usual squeaky voice dropped, and she tried to slouch a bit. She was a beach bum, right? And stinky. Gotta focus in on her performance! "I mean... yoooo. Uh, bruh. Sup... dudes." After giving them a weird y hand sign, she brought a hand up to her mouth to hide her giggles.
Suddenly, Elidae straight faced Kursh- or uh, actually she wasn't sure who he was supposed to be at the moment. Wait, wasn't he supposed to be at her booth? A nervous smile widened on her lips. He probably closed it... she hoped. Either way, she looked back at Fhoure, nodding along slowly at what they had to say. Seems like everyone was suspicious of Psyk- Booyew Hooree. She was being pretty strange about using her occupation as a coverup! Not that Elidae would really know. She was just processing what everyone else thought. Putting a very friendly arm around Fhoure Twntee's shoulder, Elidae leaned on them. "Yeah, man. Fho is totally right, my dude." She thought for a moment. While Booyew seemed to be making a scene to ensure her status, she was pretty quick to add her moiral in the mix. "Although, what if she's covering up for someone? What about her moiral? I mean, I sure would do aaanything for my coolest, most bestest best friend." She finger gunned her doctor palemate.
The little redblood had idly sat by as the voting happened. All of this gave Ninfia a slight feeling of dread. Did the real queen do this sort of thing? This was just as Tieldad had always said. Shaking themselves back to reality the bird child calmly reminded themselves that this was just a FLARP session. They'd make sure to stay far away from the real queen's reach though so they were never caught in a situation like this one.
Booyew had been right on the money though, it had been the hemoanon! They had been quite the supicious character! Another character had been killed as well... Ninfia thought hard and paid attention to everyone else's actions. Surely there was another troll that was acting just as supicious as Deefau had. This was harder than Ninfia thought though!
Nodding in agreement to their "blueblood" moirail, they puffed out their chest again, this time just letting out a sigh. They were certainly glad they had a teammate in all this! But things were not looking good for their moirail. Why did everyone think they did it?!
Now...who to vote against. Ninfia honestly had no idea until the purpleblood masquerading as a redblood spoke up. A rainbow drinker certainly was supicious! Weren't they known to do stuff such as this? Regardless a vote against someone else might save their moirail!
Buffel watched on as the addle-headed arguments continued. The situation seemed all-over confusing to him. Booyew seemed to be right on the money, but he had never had a been one to trust state-elected officials. He looked at Mochaw to see if he could glean his opinion. He watched intently as the cowboy continued tracing a careful circle on all fours, seemingly lost in what was certainly some intense critical thinking! I wish this gal weren’t so quiet. I gotta get my vote in there somehow! Buffel stared at his feet. He wasn’t aware of the hemoanon troll having any connections, but he had to be working with someone right? The rainbowdrinker didn’t seem to have any connections, maybe there were underlying ones they didn’t see? It seemed like a sure thing…
Er - the queen was napping. But that didn't mean rainbowdrinkers couldn't be executed. Someone had to pay for their crimes, after all! No one was quite sure who'd mentioned that Fhowne was a rainbow drinker, but maybe someone had taken a gossip magazine just a bit too seriously. Regardless - sometimes it was just a little difficult to think clearly in the face of probable death.
So a swarm of gerbils carrying strange beakers came upon Fhowne, and her corpse was left to rot in the jail cell, next to Annfer's and Deefau's.
Of course, everyone had been watching that. Which meant very few people saw Allcap's corpse, now wearing enough makeup that it really did look like it'd begun decaying, was walking again. As before its eyes glowed an eerie red, and its skin had a palpably iridescent sheen. It was going for Ariana, loping toward her at quite a casual pace. Actually, it basically just looked like Alifax walking over, a bored expression on his face. He tapped Lorata on the shoulder. "It's your turn to die now," he said, and he indicated the observers' tent. Er. The jail cell.

SARCEL has been executed by the will of the people. They were a denizen. Thank you for playing! Unfortunately the game has ended for you. Please do not discuss the game with anyone still alive in it, even if there had been information that you had not shared prior to your death.

Psykgi Mentha / ”Booyew Hooree”
Psykgi was stunned - stunned - that everyone was turning against her. Gosh, that was just absurd. "OB... OBJECTION!" she said, gesticulating, "I am a legislacerator! I am supposed to be vocal - loud even - in my upholding of the law! It is not contrariness, but passion!" She put on her best annoyed-blueblood face (which incidentally was associated with shouting, as well) "I'm hiding nothing: I'm a star, on a reality courtroom tv show! My life is (more or less) an open law book - just look it up!" she said, making that up on the spot. It sounded like something Booyew would do.
Pleased that her 'moirail' hadn't thrown her under the bandwagon yet, Ps... BOOYEW nodded smugly. And the redblooded maid (what was Eridia playing at?!) All right, so the redblooded pirate (who she would have pointed to in a second if trolls had let her get her act together) was not the conjurer, and neither was the rainbowdrinker.
Well, then. Time to continue. Without the customary table to bang, Psy clapped her hands. It was not the same effect, alas.
She pointed dramatically to Fhore and Sidewa. "And what about you?" she said, "You seem very quick to pin things on my moirail! Let me turn the court... I mean, those gathered here's attention to your very comment! she grinned, "If you would do anything for your 'cooliest, most bestest best friend,' what are you doing now?!"
While everyone was watching the “execution” of Sarcel, Kursha caught a flicker of movement out of the corner of his eye. He noticed Alifax “back from the dead” once again, making his way towards Lorata. When the redblood tapped her on the shoulder and informed her of her demise, Kursha shook his head, grinning. Really, after being dragged into this, he expected more.
Cupping his hands around his mouth, he called, “Boo! Lame performance!” Oops. He was supposed to be in character. Well, maybe Delici had a sense of theatrics.
“All right, while you guys have been ******** around throwing fingers left and right, someone's getting their kicks off watching us kill each other off. So instead of petty accusations—” like he was one to talk “—why don't we examine some of the more suspicious figures: for instance... Gahree Whatserface!”
“She was pretty chatty at the start, but since people have started dying, she hasn't said a word. Sure there's a been a couple quiet trolls, but they've been quiet since the get-go so I think we can all assume that they're just wallflowers.” That was not an entirely in character argument, but Kursha was in this to win.
“Anyway Gahree has the benefit of her position as a highblood, which keeps her relatively safe from suspicion. But more importantly... as a subjuggalator, I wonder what kind of weird 'miracles' might be responsible for the seemingly supernatural cause of the last few cullings.”

"Oh nooo, Lorataaaaaaa..." Elidae cried quietly, reaching for her friend as she was walked off after being murdered.
Elidae started sweating when Booyew started getting on her and Fhoure. "Er- well, yeah! I mean..." Wait a second, why was she getting all nervous here. This troll wasn't even a real highblood and she was making her nervous. What a good performance, but Elidae realized she wasn't a lowblood either. What even was she? A teal? "Man, I don't have to explain to you jack! Life is full of mysteries~" She said while pushing up her faux glasses, then folded up her arms and turning up her freckled nose. Rocking back on her heels, she nodded for emphasis.
She listened to Kursha's spiel, unsure what he was saying or about who, but nodded her head in agreement. She, uh, supposed she had to agree? Peer pressure was a thing, wasn't it. Nah, she trusted his judgment.

"Ah now, it has nothing to do with not being chatty. YOU sir are awful quick to jump to conclusions. Should I have reason to suspect you?" The highblood snapped their fan at Kursha giving him an unfriendly look. "It has been a rather tragic affair, I must admit. Perhaps I was just faint of heart I have been through a lot."She sighed shaking her head, beginning to walk forward as she surveyed the room.
"You could have just asked, or spoken to me." The "purpleblood" sized the other up with an expression clearly reflecting her disbelief at being accused. "By all rights, that's pretty damn rude I'll admit. What Miracles are you spouting about? I've been standing here the whole time whatever are you talking about." She rolled her eyes, shaking her head in wonder what the fuss was about. Really, she was just stunned at the onslaught was all. Fighting off so many zombies was taxing on a troll, could they really blame her for taking in the mystery of it all.
"How about we actually get back to a more relevant topic, and interview the lot remaining." She sighed wistfully with a raise of her brow at the pair.
Psykgi Mentha / ”Booyew Hooree”"Mysteries they may be" she said, staring Sidewa down, "But in this case the court... those gathered here... deserve to have this mystery unravelled before someone else ends up culled!" she was about to continue her interrogation, when Kursha... or rather his character... or him... ah, so confusing, especially since he wasn't really in character.
Was facekicker pointing to someone other than her? Well gosh, Psy could get behind that. "You have a point there, lawman! The juggalo would have access to some serious <******** miracles" the curse words tickled her mouth in a delightful way. This, she realized, must be why they did that so much. It felt so... tingly.
"But you are missing one thing! she said, doing a little prance, completely ad lib. "Why would a subjuggulator bother to cull trolls, one by one, in a no kill zone with such an unconventional weapon, mmm? Why not just wait until they left to kill them more or less within their mirthful rights?" she did a little bow before turning to the clean-spoken 'purpleblood'.
"Gahree, I do not believe you did this deplorable deed. But I think you know the one who did." she turned around, being extra dramatic, looking at each of the other ones in turn.
"There is one other who has access to the subjuggulator's miracles..." finally, she stopped, pointing dramatically, a whole body action that was completely hammed up.
To Mahree Shrewe
"Their Maid!" she partially shouted, panting from the dramatic energy of it all. This was so fun.
Mayree watched them accuse each other one by one. Gahree was among the ones accused, she didn't mind and if they questioned her, she would just say that she was formulating a more reasonable choice. When Booyew had the guts to point a finger on her… She clapped at their theatrics in total boredom.
“Impressive conclusion Booyew-- really. Are you still forgetting you are a prime suspect with your, ah, presumable cover?” She approached her employer with a sly smile on her face. “You dear couldn't be more stupid. I may be this juggalo’s head maid, but not for those reasons oh no.” She chuckled. “There’s always something black unrevealed. You are forgetting that the cult is intolerant towards outsiders and traitors. Gahree here is too stubborn to even order me to do cult-related chores.”
“As for us suspects, why don't we look who's still here standing hm? There's a maid accused of carrying the masters orders, three “lawmakers” who don't really carry their job so well, we have a… Well this teal I'm not even sure what they do but that's enough reason to pull our guards down, an oprhaner, their matesprite perhaps? I've been watching them… A doctor and Gahree.”
“Very tough desicions to carry, and so little time. Suspicions, suspicions galore! So many alliances including one of us is siding with the murderous creature. So sad to think that the ones we cherish or hate might turn against us! Though, if I have to make a choice… ”
"This is for you taking all my glory." She whispered on her master's ear. “See you on the other side my sweet. I hate you~”
