week 3, friday

[ninjay]

[ sometime after the investigation, jay returns to room 117. it seems like both jake and kaito aren't around conveniently for this thread to take place.

when jay sees dirk, he waves with his right hand. ]

I feel like I should have stayed in with you guys in the morning.

Possibly. That's... worrisome though. If he was the Convict and had his role copied, his attitude made it seem like he was fine with it because he knew who it was. But if he was fine with it because he knew he was the Copycat, then that means the Convict still has access to everything with their key.

[splinten]

[It is worrisome. Although he pauses.]

If he was the Copycat, wouldn't he have taken it as a threat? Like, some asshole slipping a note under the door 'I know what your role is' to intimidate them?

[ninjay]

True. He found it with Kaito though, so there's the chance that he didn't want to worry him. But that then leads to the question of, how would someone else have found out about it?

[splinten]

If he had an ally and that ally leaked, maybe. Unless there's a role that can discern other roles, which we haven't ruled out yet after Hana's framing.

[ninjay]

It's what makes the most sense in terms of the Ghost, I think. Enough time has passed for people to have revealed roles to one another, so if the Ghost possesses someone now then they have plenty of opportunity to maybe have found it out on their own. But after just one week? Not likely.

[ unless you like, really want to die or something. ]

If there is a role that can see other people's roles... flaunting that knowledge is awfully brave.

[splinten]

Or just malicious. I heard there was writin' downstairs.

[ninjay]

One of them said something about an ectoparasite. That's how the Ghost role is described in the menu, right?

[ look. jay hates jumping to the "what if it's the ghost!!!" conclusion, but omega did say that there would now be some sort of sign if the ghost kills someone. ]

[splinten]

I just wondered if some clowns went off their Faygo.

[Hm.]

Yeah, it's called a parasite, and 'ecto' can mean ectoplasm.

[ninjay]

[ jay should continue the conversation about the ghost, because clearly that is what's important here.

and yet.

AND YET. ]

Clowns did what now.

[splinten]

It's stupid and you don't want to know.

[ninjay]

I'll take you word for it, based on what I know about where you're from.

[ don't tell him about homestuck ]

[splinten]

Smart move.

[Anyway.]

Hopefully, Omega's gift will pay off here. Although knowin' the ghost did it won't help us identify a ghost.

[ninjay]

No, I suspect that one will still be a hard one to track down. There's always Marty, but...

[ he has no clue how they are going to figure out who did it on that end, too. ]

[splinten]

God fuckin' help us with Marty.

[ninjay]

I'm guessing that someone might have locked him in there? Which... is a very obvious way to murder someone, when you think about it.

[ he cannot think of any other logical reason for marty to be in there. ]
