There's not much point in him trying to keep it a secret.

... even if he fights back tomorrow and wins, I doubt people would let him stick around.

He has supporters - mainly girls with bad taste - but I doubt he'll hang onto them.

Mm. Primrose was protective. Medb covered for him...

Lenore shared a glass of wine with him? He truly does think himself charming.

[But she is too gay to be charmed!]

I don't know why. He's just some white guy?

[No, I wish that was the tag. Sadly, no.]

Utterly false and unappealing. The way he just sat there smiling at me telling me what a good job I'd done catching him. I know I did, idiot.

[ he snorts. ]

Going after someone who he didn't think would be a good fight would make sense if he didn't want to be caught. It's not like his word otherwise would mean much if you can just lie.

I don't really know what Lenore could do, but the assumption she would have been useless doesn't sit well with me.

I think that's fine, but I think it doesn't really matter how we personally see it, but whether or not Childe would have thought she'd be a good fight. His alibi was based entirely on what people here knew about him, and whether or not they'd believe if he'd pick someone who didn't seem like they were physically strong.

Which is stupid, because I don't know a thing about him. Also, has anyone here ever heard of makeup? I did make sure to touch everyone's faces, but he left it out in the open.

He was probably hoping someone would back him up, but at that point there were already too many potential strikes against him. [ ... ] And he probably wasn't expecting that item, even though we talked about it last week.

[ like on one hand, they didn't know how detailed it was going to be. on the other, they openly discussed it last trial. so. ]

I can't guess about the makeup. That's just bad murder planning.

What a useful item that was. Do you know, it's his second murder solving item and I have yet to be given even one.

[So rude!!]

Honestly? You've been doing fairly well without one.

We really needed that item this week.

[Oh, well.]

It's fine - this way, I can just make up my own. I had a thought that we might need to force a no vote this time, and if we did, I could claim to have an item that would let me track down who submitted a particular vote. As a disincentive for anyone to secretly get cute.

That's a good backup. I know someone who previously got something that let them see the actual vote spread. So something like that wouldn't seem entirely out of the question.

Interesting. Did they ever use it?

They did, but it was a week where we had a pretty obvious choice to pick-- Law. They didn't say if there was anything unusual about the votes, other than a lower number than expected were cast.

That doesn't surprise me. I didn't vote for him, because I felt he had done a public service, even if his reasons were moronic.

That's true. But I think if anything, it shows that the votes are probably a lot closer than we think they are, if people aren't voting for known culprits. It's something to possibly keep in mind, considering how Gojou gets voted for every damn week.

[ also who voted for gu yun??? ]

I thought Mahito was doing that. Evidently not? Or did some just decide they believed the bizarre theory where he killed Lenore.

Possibly... although I wonder why Gu Yun had more votes?

Did someone think he was helping Childe because of the power thing?

Oh. Yes, I know he was. He admitted it to me via text.

I wouldn't worry about that; I suspect Childe voted for him.

Did he say why he was helping him? Other than bad taste?

To clarify, he only thought he was helping him lie about having traded away his boon. When he realized there was more to it, he agreed we ought to expose him.

Bad taste is the answer. I think they had an arrangement where they would do favours for one another.

Honestly, I think even doing that is stupid. Childe would have looked way less suspicious if he didn't lie about what power he had.

Because of the numbers, it really is just a process of elimination to undo a lie about that.
