For all of us who've seen the light, salute the dead and lead the fight [W4, Fri Post-Investigation]

[As promised to Papika, Percy figured things out. As also promised to Papika, he finds himself heading to the room she and Damian share, Mrs. O'Leary trotting along at his feet and a box in his arms. It's enough time for her to at least get the corpse water off and for Damian to recover, if there's really such a thing as that much time.

He has no idea what to do. He has things to tell them, but his priority is to make sure their minds don't break after everything. So, once he's at the door he pauses and shifts the box under his arm, knocking softly with his knuckles.]

Guys, it's me.

The killers are just making everything a lot harder, but they're also a good distraction from the main objective, you're right. Especially if we're not even sure if they're working with the Deputy in the first place.

[A sigh.] You already know what I'm capable of, Damian. Especially when it comes to alliances. I'll be fine. I just need you two to be fine and keep each other safe at night. We're getting to the point where we're letting really brutal murderers live among us and it's...bad. [Obviously.]

[ her lip twitches downwards at the mention of brutal murderers. she never wants to find another body again?? ]

Damian and I will be fine. [ it's cute how naive they are before the reveal that the sheriff can just take people out of their rooms and give them to the killers ha ha ha ANYWAY ]

Um. By the way... is there anyone in particular that you think is suspicious?

[bittybat]

Everyone is suspicious. [Sorry... he's... something.] You shouldn't completely trust anyone, not me, not Jackson. No one. [That way you're not surprised when they betray you.]

Ash is the most prominent in being disagreeable, but that isn't evidence of murder. In fact, it's evidence against it. Most people who kill aren't going to brag about it to the public unless they're clinically narcissistic.

We should find some of the other roles and see if they can help us pick out who to be suspicious of legitimately.

Hey! [Excuse you.] Look, while I would agree that we can't trust most people here we have to be able to trust some people here. That's the only way we're going to actually beat this thing.

Ash is mostly just a huge jerk. But Damian has a point...people who kill aren't going to brag about it to the public. We're going to have to see what people say in private and kind of spy on them that way.

If we have all of the other roles in our hands, we can figure out what to do from there. Knowing everyone and being able to track their movements will be for the best. Can we agree on that?

[ she makes a face at damian, but percy says what she would have. ]

That's what happened with Nui, isn't it? Everyone was so sure that she had to be the killer because of how she was, and then...

[ y i k e s

she nods at percy though. ]

It might be easier if we knew who people haven't talked to yet about all of this. Um, your informants, I mean.
