ninjay | week 3, sunday

... Uh. Huuuuh. Hmm. Hmmmmmmmmrmmm. [dipper is making some weird noises as he considers that] Is that why there's a role that can speak to the dead? 'Cause that stuff usually only happens with ghosts. Real ghosts, not ghost-roles. Hmmm.

[HUUUHhhhh oh my god stop him]

Is this like... until the ritual is completed, they're kind of in limbo? Or like... Schrodinger's deads?? Both dead and alive?

Maybe. When we woke up after that woman made us fall asleep in the library, we were all in Kaito's room. But what's curious is that, Kaito had writing on his arm that said something along the lines of, "We're okay," in red ink. Yukina said that Dave always used a red pen.

[ that is, obviously, suspicious. ]

We have no idea how the Medium works, but I assume it must have been their doing, maybe? It's hard to tell because it's the only instance I know of someone who's dead presumably communicating with the living.

Then... it's a long shot, but, maybe if we stop the ritual, we can save even the dead? Or at least the victims.

[the murderers can go fuck themselves]

Maybe... we can't say for certain at this point, but if the possibility is there, we can't ignore it. If we knew who the Medium was it might be easier to figure things out.

[ although that seems like the kind of role you would want to keep quiet about, so jay can't blame them for keeping silent. ]

And hopefully we don't find that one out by them dying. [just. putting it out there since last time they talked about a role THAT HAPPENED] We'll have to either find them or luck into them, but so long as they're alive, that's a good start.

[ yeah that's true rip..... ]

It'll be easier if we had a bigger network of people to talk to. Yukina and Kaito are on good terms with me now considering that almost dying together is apparently a great bonding experience. I'm going to see what I can learn from them and-- oh. Light's the Teacher, by the way.

[THROWS HIS ARMS UP IN THE AIR]

I knew that guy was the worst!!

There might be more to it than that. He said that there was a delay? He chose someone, Akane, the first week, but nothing immediately happened. So he supposedly thought something interfered, so he chose to lower someone's else GPA the next week. But that same week, it finally hit Akane.

[ in other words, you don't see what happens to the person until the week after you choose them, if light's telling the truth. ]

From what I heard, he's going to choose to help someone this week instead.

[he pouts, a bit reluctant] ...Okay, but why would you start the tests with lowering someone's GPA. [--it hits him that Jay wouldn't know what that is, so:] Having a lower GPA is a school thing, and it's not a good one.

Oh. Hm, well... he's probably just an ass.

[nods in agreement]

I'm surprised he didn't try to hit L'Arachel, actually. She's been kicking him out of the room every single day without fail.

That's probably why. It would be too obvious to target a person that he would have a motive against, wouldn't it?

[ while velvet and akane seem like random choices who have nothing to do with each other. ]

... I guess you're right. Wonder what raising the GPA does, if lowering it makes them... go for a swim.

[a long pause]

Why specifically swimming.

I... assume it's because it'll make them an easy target? If they can't get out of the pool then someone will easily be able to kill them if they wanted.

[ they've probably only lucked out that someone hasn't taken that opportunity yet. ]

Then wouldn't raising it make you less of a target? How does that work?

[do you climb up real high.]

I have no idea. Maybe they won't be able to get you out of your room?

[ since one of the big questions is how are they getting victims out of your motel rooms. ]

That might be it, but can you really not kill someone at all while they're in their rooms...?

[a genuine question. they only have so many corpses to test out their theories man]

Oh, I'm sure your roommate could probably kill you. But as we have seen, not everyone knows how to pick a lock.

Great. If I die before Light, I blame him.

[dipper what has he ever done to you. nothing. nothing is what.]

Lockpicking is not as hard as all these killers are making it out to be.

I know. I suppose we should be grateful that they all seem to be very bad at it.

[ SMALL MERCIES, i guess ]

So far.

[ANYWAY]

Since three people are supposed to be the "survivors", it has to be that "Mother" has three people working for her. Right? So after Mira, we're down to two, but the disadvantage now is we don't know their roles.

We're assuming one of them is the Soldier, I think. The problem there is that I doubt that person will be sharing their role with anyone, so I'm not sure exactly how we'd track them down without discovering every single person's role and figure it out by a process of elimination.

[ ... ]

Or we can get it right by chance, I guess.

It's gotta be, otherwise they would've spoken up when Mira said she was the one. Even if they just said "no, I know who the soldier is", we would've believed it. [hmmmm] There's gotta be a way to figure it out besides knowing literally everyone's roles.

It would be easier if there really was a role to check other roles.

[ people has theorized that there was one, who helped mira out the first time, but that could have been mother. ]

If there is, they're probably not on our side. That'd be way too easy. [grumbling] Wish there was a way to check sides, too.
