DAY 4 - Trial

[islandiastaff]

[Welcome to Lounge Five! As you emerge from the crypt, you are treated to the sight of a fine, luxurious complex. You can rest easy here.]

Congrrrrratulations for surviving the TEMPLE OF TRIALS, and welcome to Lounge Five! Let's get right on to the main event:

[M.C leads the way not to the usual bonfire clearing, but instead to a comfortable indoor lobby, unusual only for the burning brazier in the center of the room.]

After everything you've gone through, why don't we discuss today's vote in comfort for once? Four spies remain, and it's time to get serious! Good luck!

[Mechanics are the same as yesterday. Vote here!

An additional item has been added for this lounge on the coin spending page.]

ANONYMOUS MESSAGE

[islandiastaff]

Greetings, everyone. This is your detective speaking. I do apologize for the anonymous message, but I must keep myself hidden just a little longer! For you see... there is still a Spy Detective among your number, but hopefully not for long. I've narrowed it down to Mr. Kuroba or Ms. Minamino. Help me bring them to justice, won't you?

[schwings]

[Hisoka taps his chin idly before whisking out a card. He flips it between his fingers, displaying the joker symbol on the face.] Well, well... I wonder, what do Mr. Kuroba and Ms. Minamino have to say for themselves? ♥

[punchestumors]

Yeah, out with it- Wait, who are they even? I didn't memorize people's last names.

[schwings]

I was hoping they would just answer if I said their names... ♣

[He doesn't know either.]

[punchestumors]

... Well that's gonna make this really hard to narrow down.

[damn spy, don't think you can hide just cause Leorio and Hisoka are lazy]

[sweetssuite]

I'd say that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

And I've heard a lot of stupid things.

[After all, among her best friends are Hibiki, the dumbest cat you'll ever meet, and a girl who used to be a cat that doesn't fully understand living as a human, always.]

[schwings]

[He assumes this is Kanade.]

That's what the ones under fire usually say, yes. You can do better than that. ♣

[sweetssuite]

And what is an innocent person supposed to say?

"Oh, I'm guilty?"

[fullonbraced]

[Staaaaares at the message.]

...I dunno. Do you guys think we can trust it?

[exfired]

[.........]

Aren't you the one who pulled out a napkin note a couple of days ago?

[fullonbraced]

Yeah! But that was from Ema, man! She slipped it to me so I knew!

[exfired]

And then she got ousted. Not sayin' that was your fault, but can ya really blame detective numero dos for tryin' a more anonymous method? [beat] Though we still haven't reached a "subtle" method, huh.

[carptricks]

Eh?

You think it's untrustworthy?

[fullonbraced]

Well, it's an anonymous thing, man! We don't know if it's real or not!

[synchrownization]

Anyone can call themselves a detective while they're anonymous. And it's easy to pull up two names of people you want off the island.

[punchestumors]

That's true...

Why would they want those guys off, though?

[zerotodoro]

Hmm - good question~

[Dororo calls out as he trots out from the showers, looking shinier then usual and apparently hadn't bothered to towel off]

It's quite mysterious, isn't it?

[candyrocks]

You don't trust it either, huh?

[candyrocks]

I dunno. Do you think so?

[fullonbraced]

I dunno...

[Well, this is going in a circle.]

But! Maybe if we trust it, we'll get a spy! [Maybe...]

[collateraltsunage]

Do we have any other information? If this is from the real detective... I wouldn't expect them to come forward, but perhaps there is another way to communicate with us?

[scarfphiliac]

Bullshit or not, there still needs to be interrogation, so I say question them until they break down.

[fullonbraced]

Right!

...So, are you gonna do it this time?

[poetryandclarinet]

I-I think we can trust it. I think the real detective would've tried to speak up by- by now, right? O-or at least they would've told someone they knew was clear, that the message was faked..

[sweetssuite]

No.

[No bias here.]
