ANONYMOUS MESSAGE

[islandiastaff]

Greetings, everyone. This is your detective speaking once again. I apologize for the continued anonymous messages and for the confusion I caused previously, but I've managed to confirm the identity of the Spy Detective. Help me bring Mr. Kuroba to justice, won't you?

[carptricks]

[HIS PRIDE AS A THIEF IS SUDDENLY ON THE LINE]

-- hey! What the heck?! That's a lie!

[fullonbraced]

Or is it?!

[carptricks]

Yes, obviously!

I'm not a detective!

[livefreely]

Theeeen would you mind explaining why someone would call you out, then?

[carptricks]

[glowering a bit]

I don't know! It's by like I've done anything wrong.

[maidensbunraku]

Unless you or anyone else can bring up any other clues to prove it's not you, It is a logical choice.

[carptricks]

Hasn't anyone here heard of innocent until proven guilty?

[SIGH]

Think about it! Leorio-san was taken out of the game this morning, and his role wasn't revealed to us. Isn't there a reason for that?

How do we know he wasn't the real detective, and the spy detective isn't just capitalizing on the message from last round to get you all to vote off an innocent party?

[collateraltsunage]

....

[Is I'M NOT A DETECTIVE really what you're going to argue, Kaito...]

Are you denying being a spy or just being a detective?

[carptricks]

Both, obviously!

[one of those things is just significantly more insulting to his thief pride]

[scarfphiliac]

[leeers]

You sure about that? The note might be true.

[carptricks]

[dryly]

Do you think I'd be saying it if I wasn't completely sure?

[fullonbraced]

...I think we should vote for him, guys!

[sweetssuite]

Of course we should.

[Sounding just a bit haughty because she feels somewhat exonerated.]

There are, what? Four spies left, right? More than three! If he was innocent, when the choice was put between him and me, the spies should have voted for whoever was innocent in order to not be down another one of their own, right? They wouldn't be able to afford that at this point!

But only three people voted for him, while everyone else piled on me. For whatever reason.

I'd offer that only makes him look even more guilty!

[collateraltsunage]

I really wonder how this so-called detective is narrowing the spies down...

Perhaps we should hear your defense, just in case.

[candyrocks]

Really?

[fullonbraced]

It's worth a shot, right? We can't keep abstaining forever, so we gotta start voting now!

And, if we're wrong, we can stop listening to the anonymous messages!

[wildrhythm]

So wait, if the detective is sending messages, does that mean that the Magician used their power on a regular villager?

[livefreely]

Maybe, maybe not. We don't know if the message is really from the detective or not.

[wildrhythm]

Wait, but if it's not from the detective, doesn't that mean it's probably from a spy?!

[zerotodoro]

That seems to be the assumption - though it means the Magician just wasted their power.

[exfired]

I wouldn't call it wasting. I mean, it's casting doubts, innit? Kaito's entire defense right now seems to runs on Leorio having been the detective.

[candyrocks]

It's not a waste, though! 'cause now we can't know for sure...

Before we knew if the detective left a message, if it wasn't the detective, the real detective would say so. So it had to be real. But now we can't be sure.

[schwings]

There's no way for us to know for sure, is there? ♣

[candyrocks]

So what do you think?
