The First Victim

[airlockedmods]

[It's been three days since PAL's hostile takeover of the mansion, but despite some mysterious happenings, it seems as if the Champions have been growing closer to one another than ever. But on Friday morning, there's an odd feeling in the air.

Investigate?]

[He looks like he's about to say something again, catches sight of Nari sticking her fingers in the corpse, and then gags so hard his eyes water.]

[buddyoldpal]

Eyes up here, fuckface.

[ Hey, is he helping? Somehow? He does point at his face to keep Kip distracted. ]

Should I getcha a bucket, Larimer-chan? I really don't wanna add fuckin' puke to the smells we're gettin' in here.

[theoverseen]

[It must help a little because the wet-rimmed brown eyes that look up at his face are desperately wide and filled with a lost look.]

I should... fuck, what did the contract say about a courtroom...

[buddyoldpal]

A courtroom, huh? Fer catchin' the killer, right? Our buddy PAL said somethin' like that too. Guess we're puttin' Guilty-san on trial.

[ There ya go, Kip, you're getting it together. Oh god this is how it starts ]

Ya know anythin' about that, Larimer-chan?

[theoverseen]

[He's having a hard time composing himself here, breathing like he's trying not to be sick or hyperventilate.

God, this is fucked up]

There's supposed to be a trial after the body was found. Everyone had to, to, uh, to, you know, solve the uh, the-

[whimper]

The murder...

And then if the majority vote right, the culprit is- is executed.

[scourgingstars]

...What.

[IT JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER]

[theoverseen]

Don't look at me like that!

[This grown-ass man is now competing with Church in the Terrified Screaming department.]

[scourgingstars]

...Pull yourself together, I couldn't do anything to you even if I wanted to. [if punching you would help you would be soundly punched.] Stop your infuriating noise and either do something useful or stay out of the way.

[buddyoldpal]

Fuckin' shit! Execution?

[ Haha, okay, that's not so funny anymore, is it. His cheeriness fades-- so far the rules have been pretty cut and dry, but... ]

What happens if the majority votes wrong?

[theoverseen]

...Then the culprit, uh.

Gets away.

[buddyoldpal]

And... everybody else...? They get another week in house hell, or what?

[theoverseen]

Uh, no, in order for the culprit to leave, everyone else gets-

...executed.

[myocordial]

[um hold the goddamn phone]

Excuse me, what?

[buddyoldpal]

Well. Fuck.

[ Beat. ]

Ya couldn'ta said that shit sooner!?

[ HE'S UP IN YOUR FACE NOW, KIP ]

[scourgingstars]

[if looks could kill, kip would be kilika fried chocobo right now]

Why are we only hearing this now?

[theoverseen]

Because I didn't think anybody would do it!

[he's doing the verbal equivalent of crytyping.

Also he's scared and he's leaving to go hang out with the girls and choro]

[myocordial]

[wow okay that's a fucking thing]

Execution...

So that is what rule 7 is really about, then. [He's looking at his PIP right now.] "Provided that they escape detection"...
