INABA'S NOT A GIRL WHO'S MISSING MUCH

[strangerpeople]

HAPPINESS IS A WARM GUN

[...or knife? Whatever.

Soon after the final piece of evidence is found, there is a rumble beneath the house. The rumble emanates, coming closer to the living room, until finally--

There is the sound of brick shifting.

The back of the fireplace slides open as the lights flicker green.]

It is time.

Enter. And I suggest you bring whatever clothing you have with you.

[Huh?




Anyways. It's clear the fireplace has been deliberately altered to have a secret staircase leading downwards. It's not too far, and ultimately, it leads to...well, there's no way to sugar coat it, but it turns out the house has a basement. Old, a bit dusty, and with a washer and dryer. There's also bits and pieces of black and green nanotech covering it with dimly-glowing lights. Vyce just can't help himself, it seems.

What's better is that you don't get food, and you don't get chairs or podiums. Nope. You get to sit on concrete and metal floors. It's clear Vyce doesn't seem to think those things are particularly important. It might be a good idea to run back up and grab what you want or need before everyone is settled.


Once all 14 remaining strangers are in the basement, a hologram appears.

Because of course Vyce isn't going to come here directly. He's no fool.]

Computer. Begin recording and remote transmitting to my ship.

Champion. As you can see, one of these individuals has murdered another. Now, as in the game you were in, justice must be served for this crime, and you will watch as your failures to protect even one person from your actions continue to compound.

[A slow point to the strangers.]

As for all of you, you must decide who is responsible. A majority shall suffice for your chosen culprit to be punished. As for what happens if you should choose wrong and an innocent is punished, then I suggest that, should there be a next time for you to end up in such a situation as this, that you be more careful with how you discern your evidence.

Now. I suggest you get on with it.

The clock is ticking.

[A clock appears above the suspects' holograms. Well.

What are you all waiting for?]

((OoC: Remember, voting ends at 9pm EST!))

[Gaius will easily find that the little antennae ball is very close to an exact match to the indent-indeed, it is the closest to an exact match that has been found so far.

[oh noooooooooo

[ He'll turn to look at Lala. ]

...I doubt this is something you can explain away.
