The White Elephant in the Room Playground

[Namohysip]

Darkwhite giggled and the cathedral trembled. "That tickles. Hey, wait a minute!"

Part of the cathedral twisted until it formed into a great arm, which pointed at the chalkboard. Her mouth was coming from the topmost window at the front. "How come I'm the only one suspicious of Mia, huh? I totally remember her gunning for me and starting the brigade! Doesn't that seem weird to you?! I want Mia to say something before I vote for someone else!"

Then Lee rose from the fucking dead, with the might and glory of a thousand fallen angels.

Meaning he fell of the couch with all the bottles he drank. There was a lot.

"Fucking..." Lee shook his head. "Oh yeah, it's mo-- mmmm... sometime of day. I think I might've overslept."

A wave of everything everyone said started flowing into his mind all at once, giving him a feeling worse than a hangover with none of the fun before the hangover. "Motherfucker that hurts...I hope I didn't miss anything, but seeing how we're all still standing, I think that means we did some good."

He cracked his neck rather loudly and smacked his lips, picking up his bottles one by one. "I spoke with the dead again, didn't know what was going to happen yesterday so I couldn't get much sleep. Ended up going with the question Jesse suggested. Asked Mewtwo if the person that killed him had fur."

One of the bottles was still full of a glittery blue liquid that smelled fruity. Lee put it to his lips without a second thought. "He said no."

He looked at the others with a cold seriousness he had rarely adopted so far. "And this time I know, if they don't know something, they won't answer or will say I don't know. Turns out there was more instructions in the box."

As the Cathedral trembled and changed shape, it started to drip and ooze red, white, even blue fluids. Chunks of organs fell to the floor, threatening to crush whoever entered. As the jam from the decoronated altar flowed, it began to flood the floor, as did all the other secretions pouring from the shambled ceiling.

 

[Namohysip]

Darkwhite squealed. "That's amazing!" she said. "Wait a minute... Lee!" She pointed. "Everyone else shut up! Lee! I have a very important question for you!"

 

[Namohysip]

"When did you speak to the cosmos for your power?"

 

[Chibi Pika]

"How come I'm the only one suspicious of Mia, huh? I totally remember her gunning for me and starting the brigade!

Palkia looked up from where it was currently hunting for pencils dropped between the couch cushions. "Technically I started that."

As the Cathedral trembled and changed shape, it started to drip and ooze red, white, even blue fluids. Chunks of organs fell to the floor, threatening to crush whoever entered. As the jam from the decoronated altar flowed, it began to flood the floor, as did all the other secretions pouring from the shambled ceiling.

Lee stared at the Cathedral, unfazed even when a liver plopped onto his face. "Is it supposed to do that?"

"When did you speak to the cosmos for your power?"

"When did I..." Lee blinked, wiping fluid from his face. "If you're asking when I got my door... I believe on the first night? I know I didn't come here with it. And I didn't use it until the day after Squirt died."

 

[Namohysip]

"No, no, no," Darkwhite said. "I'm asking when last night you asked the dead. Or was it during the day? C'mon, answer, answer! This is IMPORTANT!"

 

[Chibi Pika]

"No, no, no," Darkwhite said. "I'm asking when last night you asked the dead. Or was it during the day? C'mon, answer, answer! This is IMPORTANT!"

Palkia threw one of the couch cushions into the air. "Ah! Yes! I see what she's getting at. The door--did it specify when you can use it? And how often? My item can only be used at night. But we didn't get a night last night!"

 

[Fusion]

"No, no, no," Darkwhite said. "I'm asking when last night you asked the dead. Or was it during the day? C'mon, answer, answer! This is IMPORTANT!"

Lee greatly considered eating the liver that fell on him, holding it in his paw. "I used it last night, but I don't remember the exact time. Assuming time works normally here."

Palkia threw one of the couch cushions into the air. "Ah! Yes! I see what she's getting at. The door--did it specify when you can use it? And how often? My item can only be used at night. But we didn't get a night last night!"

"After reading the instructions, yes, it told me I can use it during the day too," Lee nodded. "But what do you mean about..." Lee tilted his head, accidentally scratching his head with paw still holding the liver. "What do you mean we didn't get a night last night?"

 

[Fusion]

"Also only once a day... night... thing. Cycle. Once a cycle." Lee added. The liver was gone, and for some reason he was chewing on something. Nobody knew what.

 

[Namohysip]

The cathedral collapsed around them before coalescing back into a Mew shape between them all. "No, that's not it. I mean, that would be helpful, actually..." She looked ahead, blinking. "Wait. Did you not realize I skipped last night?"

 

[Tanuki]

Liver is high in iron.

 

[Namohysip]

it told me I can use it during the day too

"Oh." Darkwhite relaxed. "Well, never mind. That works. So that means you used it before votes were done yesterday?"

 

[Fusion]

"I used it last night, but I don't remember the exact time. Assuming time works normally here."

"Oh." Darkwhite relaxed. "Well, never mind. That works. So that means you used it before votes were done yesterday?"

Lee hiccupped, shaking his head. "No, I was still mostly sober yesterday. If there was no night last night, then I probably did it in the morning..." He shook his head and smacked his cheeks, then shook his entire body. "Yeah... Yeah I did it this morning. Got too carried away with... these," Lee motioned towards the bin overflowing with empty bottles.

"I think I planned to asked the door again today, but seeing how I already used it this morning... it looks like my usefulness has run it's course for today." He gritted his teeth, tossing the bottle in hand into the trash with the others. "A mistake I won't make again."

enter the Cathedral.

Darkwhite transformed into a miniature Cathedral. It grinned mischievously at everyone.

Jesse smirked. "You askin' to be entered, Darkwhite?"

How come I'm the only one suspicious of Mia, huh?

"Oh, I'm suspicious of her too. I just wanted to spread the fuckin' pressure a little more broadly for a tick."

"He said no."

"Great, I'll update the fuckin' board..."

Dead	Cleared by Lee	Not Suspected by Jesse	Suspected by Jesse
Squirt	Lee	Jesse	Tabitha
Mewtwo	Palkia	Gen	Nickit
	Darkwhite
	Mia
	Nilam
	Beldum
	Abigail

 

[IFBench]

Gen slowly backed away from Darkwhite after seeing her transform into and back from that...horrific flesh cathedral.

There was no way he would ever send a prayer to Ho-oh in there.

He was shuddering quite a lot.

 

[unrepentantAuthor]

"Wait fuck, I misheard the fella. Lemme fix that..."

Dead	Cleared by Lee	Not Suspected by Jesse	Suspected by Jesse
Squirt	Lee	Jesse	Mia
Mewtwo	Palkia	Abigail	Nilam
	Darkwhite		Nocitlalin
	Tabitha
	Nickit
	Gen

"Jeez. Sorry about that. Just tired as fuck."

 

[Shiny Phantump]

Asked Mewtwo if the person that killed him had fur.

He said no."

Great, I'll update the fuckin' board...

"I think you've got that backwards," Abigail objected. "If the answer to wether or not the killer had fur was, the people with fur should be cleared, and the people who don't shou-"

She looked down at her own furless ralts body. "Wait. Fuck."

 

[Chibi Pika]

"Jeez. Sorry about that. Just tired as fuck."

Palkia chuckled. "Need more sleep? We did skip the night, after all. Here, I'll put the couch back together~"
