You'll have about a forty five minutes, in which you can get ready or grab some breakfast, before the door that allows you into the park unlocks. By this time, you may or may not have noticed that one of your number is missing. The chimes play again, to announce that the park is open, and the rides and music begin to come back to life as a voice plays over the loudspeaker. "Looks like it's time to get started after all! To all our guests, have a magical morning! Dream big and have fun, but don't forget to look for the body! We'll see you in the afternoon at the Hall of Mirrors when it's time to vote, okay?"

mess hall later in the day

[fanbase]

Everybody listen up!

[ Clash climbs up on top of the table and bangs her wrist cymbals together. After her proper introduction, she puts her hands on her hips. ]

Anyone who spoke to Malik in the past day should tell someone who hasn't! It may or may not be a way of narrowing things down, but we don't know until we try it.

Whoever would like to offer should speak to us individually to see who might be the most suspicious. I'd obviously offer myself, but I spoke to him too and there's no way I wanna be a suspect.

[poyoyon]

Oooooooh! Clash-chan's so smart! Ibuki never spoke to that guy!

[ and now she never...will...........

don't pick her to see who's most suspicious, she'd suck at it ]

[fanbase]

[ Clash's grins widens, feeling so important. She is still standing on that table... ]

Well I'd say you should conduct the interviews, but someone— [ She rolls her eyes. ] —might consider that suspicious too.

[eventhandler]

[Royce speaks up...which is really not that much, considering his voice is ever so frail.] I never spoke to him. I saw him, ah, yelling at people the other day, but I never spoke to him individually.

If you want to...well, tell me what he said to you, if you talked to him, I can listen.

[fanbase]

Great! You can do the interviews then. We only had a brief talk, but even brief talks can be important.

[ She steps off the table, her feet making noise as she does so. ]

Where do you wanna talk then?

[mediumburgers]

I talked to him, a little bit! It was with everyone around, though. But if you want to take my statement and stuff, I can give you the details?

[ionicwoman]

That guy was really meaaaaaaan!

[ARE YOU HANDLING HER TESTIMONY]

[cheats]

[ wait ciel missed the logic train here, so he looks confused ]

Pardon me, but how would that narrow it down, exactly?

[ ALSO he did speak to him but only for like two sentences, so... ]

[fanbase]

There might be a chance that this isn't the work of the VIPs, but the Detonator and who they might have given the key to.

So the first step is to look to who talked to him and try to narrow it down from there. He wasn't exactly the most pleasant guy, maybe someone had it out for him already and used that key to their advantage.

[chronic]

Yeah... I'm not seeing it. VIPs are going to be smarter than to go for something that obvious.

[flatview]

He kept talking about cutting the dog's paw off! And then told me they should cut up my hand, the nerve.

[fanbase]

Don't tell me that, tell him that.

[ She points at Royce. ]

[godwhisperer]

He what?

Fiend! I'll kill him myself!

[mediumburgers]

I guess I talked to him briefly-- about the whole hand chopping off idea and stuff like that, but not that much. He was kind of a jerk, though...

[ Aaand now he's dead. ]

Not like, really awful jerk! Just sort of. He wanted to cut off the dog's paw, that was really mean. I'm sure he was really nice deep down!

[fanbase]

You really don't think that someone might have been really upset by that? It could have been the push someone needed to want to get rid of him, especially with how much everyone loves that dog.

You should tell Royce about the conversation you guys had. He's the one taking statements. Just make sure you do it in a private place where no one can hear you.

[impheired]

I don't think this is really going to help us narrow it down. I think it's less likely this has to do with a grudge, and more likely they went for him because they figured nobody'd protect him or particularly give a shit if he was offed.

But I said maybe...five words to him yesterday? Wouldn't really even call it a conversation, to be honest.

[fanbase]

Oh yeah?

[ She crosses her arms and looks down at him, standing on the table. She's really smug right now. ]

What do you suggest we do then?

[ionicwoman]

Oh, I talked to him. He was really mean! Boo!

[HE REFUSED TO WIN HER THINGS, what a jerk]

[fanbase]

[ Does it really make sense to ask this kid to talk about their conversation? If Clash were another person, then perhaps she would say 'no,' but she's Clash so... ]

You should tell that guy what he said. [ She sticks her thumb over toward Royce. ] He's the one who's handling that stuff.

[glasshole]

I've never spoken to him. He doesn't seem like a person who made many friends.

[fanbase]

He definitely seemed like a total loser, but it's not like that's a good reason to kill him. He just probably ticked off the wrong person and they got him back for it.

[cakelover]

I never spoke to him, either, but I already told you that...that said, I did hear him talking about the cutting off a part of the dog.

[ didn't everyone ]

[fanbase]

That seems to be the main thing that nearly everyone heard. Which means that he could have easily angered someone he didn't even talk to. [ She sighs. ] Man.

Re: mess hall later in the day

[crueltobekind]

I never spoke to him . . . Have you heard anything that might be useful yet?

math

[5_9]

[ So also at the mess hall, as they start discussing what to do, Legion will speak up eventually to offer its... Well, not opinion, but. This is as close to opinion as you get from a Geth. ]

We would like to submit statistics for consideration. These are not fully reflective statistics. We wished to deliver something understandable to those without onboard processors. [ and because tbh I used this to study for my prob&stats exam so this would turn into me explaining 4 pages of notes and you don't want that... ]

Malik Ishtar was the only one to die. He must have been one of the unpaired individuals. This means there are now only 13 individuals. In the simple choose-one strategy of picking out of 41, if someone was chosen to be executed, it would be 82.927% likely that they would be innocent. It is also 68.293% likely that a paired individual would be killed. It is 56.633% likely to kill a person who is both innocent and paired with another person.

We submit this for your consideration. Our calculations suggest that execution may not be viable at this time without further information. The likelihood of executing an innocent is high.
