"And you're a part of the committee?"

“I mean, I’m just an intern. Taking the job for my resume, y’know?”

 

[Tanuki]

"U-uh, can my suspect be changed to Nickit?" Gen asked. I...really don't want Lee to die.

“There wasn’t ever any Nickit here, kid.”

 

[IFBench]

"W-what?!" Gen looked over to where he had seen Nickit last.

 

[unrepentantAuthor]

Jesse blearily looked up from his chalkboards.

"The committee are insufferable bastards who ain't even tryin' t'make sense. Talkin' back to 'em gets you electrocuted. The nickit was a mass fuckin' hallucination. Yeah, that all just about fuckin' tracks."

He clawed at his face in unsuppressed frustration.

 

[IFBench]

Oh no oh no oh no, now who do I suspect?!

Gen frantically looked around the room. "U-uh..."

Spoiler: GUEST CONDUCT BOARD

"Too tired to update this one further..."

Name	Notes	Name	Notes	Name	Notes
Jesse	Yours truly. Let it be on record that I skipped the first two nights, suggested voting for Nickit to provoke a debut dialogue, and for Tabitha and Nilam to demand defences. I voted Mia for a successful lynch. My power is non-info, and a liability if used with insufficient info. I doubt it will ever be of use at this rate. I used a one-off item to identify Abigail as a survivor.	Darkwhite	Plenty of contributions couched in plenty of mischief. Tried an advice gambit to conceal her night-skipping power, but demonstrated it to the advantage of innocents. Initially skipped, but helped lynch Mia by using a one-off item to identify her as Naughty.	Mia	Our first lynch, and confirmed scum. Targeted Darkwhite and Nocitlalin.
Mewtwo	Experimentally voted for Palkia before dying early. My sympathies to the sorry bastard.	Nilam	Voted first for Palkia and twice now for Mia, who turned out to be scum. Concerned with an aggressive pursuit of a successful lynch. Has justified themself, but I personally find their takes flimsy.	Nickit	Dead silent to date. No change forecast.
Lee	Always has thoughts to offer. Cleared Darkwhite and Palkia of Squirt's murder, and furred guests of Mewtwo's murder. Has usually skipped, but now claims he will vote with me. Can interrogate the dead for a single moment each night.	Gen	Terrified out of his wits at all times, no investigative efforts to speak of. Always votes to skip. Claims to have a powerful ability that would make him a target for the Naughty guests.	Tabitha	Has mostly criticised tactically unsound assumptions about behaviour, initially skipped but later voted for Darkwhite in pursuit of information and Nilam to follow my bandwagon. Claims to have a night power.
Palkia	Extensive analysis. Attempted a bandwagon-provocation gambit against Darkwhite before walking it back, and has consequently only skipped. Briefly voted for Abigail, but helped lynch Mia. Claims to have an underwhelming power and a one-off item.	Abigail	Inherited the power and memories of Vaporeon Blue. Is a neutral guest, whose objective is to survive along with her partner survivor, who is unknown. Has an info power that identifies alignment.	Nocitlalin	Aggressively hunted for bingo cards, suggested that day 2 voters might be killers, ie. Nilam. Claims to have a target redirection power, but there is yet to be conclusive evidence of her using it to the benefit of innocents.

"To sum, the original murderer was either Mia or Nocitlalin, probably Mia. I still like Nilam best fer our next accomplice. Not sure who our third scumbag is."

Jesse's Take:

Confirmed Nice/Neutral	Who Fuckin' Knows	Probably Naughty	Confirmed Naughty
Jesse	Nocitlalin	Nilam	Mia 💀
Palkia	Gen
Darkwhite

"To sum, the original murderer was either Mia or Nocitlalin, probably Mia. I still like Nilam best fer our next accomplice. Not sure who our third scumbag is."

Gen perked up at Jesse's words.

It's definitely not me, Mia's gone, Nilam's already taken, so the only candidate left must be...

"Nocitlalin!" he shouted!

 

[unrepentantAuthor]

Jesse gingerly lowered himself into the couch again.

"Of course, this is assumin' nobody's escaped our scrutiny through use of alignment-concealin' powers, that alignments don't change, that there are three Naughty guests... it's a lot of assumptions."

 

[Namohysip]

"Feels like we narrowed down who's Naughty a little too quickly if you ask me," Darkwhite agreed.

 

[unrepentantAuthor]

Jesse eyed Darkwhite carefully.

"I still got faith in you, y'know," he said. "I just ain't buyin' that you're one of the scum."

 

[Namohysip]

"I mean, duh, I ate the night," Darkwhite said. "And I also literally pointed out Mia and stuff. Like, okay, maybe if I only did one of those things, maybe it'd be me trying to get cover, but both? Especially the night thing."

Gen grabbed his scalchop off the nearby table, hesitated, and then left the room.

A few minutes later, he came back with a box labeled "Monopoly" in Johtonese.

"I-I need to do something to calm down," the small Oshawott said. "Does anyone want to play?"

 

[IFBench]

Gen trembled as he spoke, glancing towards Jesse's boards.

 

[unrepentantAuthor]

"A board game, huh? Only if'n ya don't mind me winnin'," said Jesse, with a grin.

"If Noci hasn't been cleared at all, and I've at least been cleared of the murders, wouldn't it make more sense to vote her, not me? Since, she's, you know, not even remotely proven, and I'm at least partly?"

 

[Persephone]

[unrepentantAuthor]

Jesse scratched at his cheek fur.

"Okay. I've had a minute to think about this. There ain't hard evidence fer either of ya besides that Nilam is cleared fer the murders so far. Nilam could be an accomplice. Nocitlalin could be a murderer or an accomplice. Mia targeted Noci, but we all know that could be to misdirect our attention. I figure the unbiased odds are better for Noci to be one of our scum, since she ain't proven shit about her power."

The delphox straightened his vest jacket and cleared his throat.

"I'll vote Nocitlalin until I get a good reason not to."

 

[IFBench]

"Ok..." Gen said, as he began setting up Monopoly.

 

[Namohysip]

"Ain't we waiting for Lee to get back to us on something?" Darkwhite asked. "I'm gonna hold off 'til then. Uh, how long do we have until..."
