week 3 ( monday );

[reidentify]

[Meeting in the longhouse is a go! Lief clears his throat, as a part of him wonders how he keeps ending up in this situation, but:]

Thank you all for gathering here. These past few weeks have been difficult, but I pray that none of us fall into despair. Now, more than ever, we need to keep our spirits up and put an end to this twisted game.

Vriska and Kirigiri have asked that we take advantage of our time now to discuss our next course of action, without an immediate deadline constraining us, driving us to ill temper. As we have struggled with how we should approach the trial, perhaps we should focus on the roles—the ones with the purpose to kill.

In particular, what sort of people would the Chiefs place in such a role? Not necessarily who would kill, normally, but who would be the Chiefs' "ideal" candidates. That is what we wish to figure out.

... Of course, we may not come to a complete agreement. But perhaps we will walk away from this with a better idea of how to go on from here, if nothing else.

[ooc: basically, a mingle post to discuss stuff! top-level and hijack away, etc.]

[ lief that's exactly the conclusion the profiles are supposed to draw. ]

I'm actually surprised that no one considered that the killer was trying to frame you last week. [ because. arson. burned body. apparently lief has gotten himself immunity via protag armour somehow. ]

[He makes a face.]

I do not know whether to be honoured or worried—although if that was the intention, it would have been a poor attempt.

[chessking]

I don't know what the killer's intentions were, but I agree, it was a poor attempt.

But just based on whatever incriminating evidence can be found on our profiles, who's to say that a future killer won't do something similar? And in a more effective way?

[reidentify]

I think we can agree that, in terms of specific methods for murder, it is perhaps best to ignore the profiles. I doubt most of us would be so foolhardy to use something so blatantly in our "skillset"—and if the murderer chooses to fool us by using that precise logic, I suppose that will have to be the price we pay.

... Not that I consider setting things on fire to be a skill of mine.

[chessking]

I suppose that's where reverse psychology comes into play?

[ he'll make a small, amused sound. ] It'll be useful if you happen to be in the jungle or somewhere that isn't the beach.

... I really am not any better at setting things on fire than the average person, I think.

[chessking]

Most average people would not really have a reason to set things on fire, honestly speaking.

[SHUSH]

Then they should be very glad that they do not live in a land where the "local fauna and flora" have a tendency to try and devour them.

[ ....... look he didn't know this, so his facial expression: see icon. ]

I suppose that's fair.
