MINGLE LOG

We're back, everybody! Fresh week, fresh house, fresh murder. It is indeed a fresh house as when people wake on Monday morning they'll see that — everything is fixed! The windows, the table, whatever property damage that was inflicted last week is all cleaned up and reset. There is no SOS on the roof anymore. None of that. Anyone who stayed up all night on Sunday will have seen the mannequins diligently cleaning and repairing the house during the course of the night, finished by dawn. Yay!

They've also opened a new room in the house. A cleaning room — there is a washing machine, dryer, and various cleaning supplies in the room. Mops and brooms and dustpans and swiffers and all sorts of things! There's even a basket for collecting dirty laundry too.

And then in the morning, they bring in a few things to note, dumping it all in the living room.

• A assortment of feminine clothing — dresses, skirts, blouses, etc
• Included in that pile of clothing are twenty-five sailor uniforms of various sizes
• Make up! Quite a bit — enough to last the rest of the time
• So many packs of underwear. You had underwear last week but like, this is better
• A tablet with Candy Crush and Infinity Nikki on it. There is nothing else accessible on it. There's a sticky note on the cover that says FOR ECHINACEA
• A gun with one bullet is on the coffee table
• A spear is laid across the coffee table as well

That said, it doesn't seem like the food restocked. Huh...

[THEIR FUCKING KITCHEN. He's so offended by this... NO BUTTER KNIVES. NO FORKS. Their food stash is also dwindling, wow. Maybe they should have eaten Yves after all.]

What the hell! Why even bother using forks for murder when everyone has perfectly good nails and teeth?!

[akademise]

[ Wha... Obikawa really sounds like he is just trying to get voted out...

Though the comment just makes him look at his own fingernails. ]

Frankly, I am not so certain I would be capable of inflicting serious injury with these even if I were defending myself.

[ That is probably a bad thing, hm. ]

[voring]

[He's just a lil vibin guy... But he'll glance at More's fingernails, too.]

...Well! That's okay, you have other things you can use. Like these! [Taps his own head where More's horns are.] But people can do a lot of damage even just with their fingers. Like you can poke someone's eyes out, probably!

[Sweet Yves would know all about that...]

[akademise]

[ More is not sure he likes the angles he'd have to use to get his horns to injury anybody. They fit so snugly around his skull.. But. Man, that is sure another thing Obikawa is just saying. More's expression falls. ]

It has been readily demonstrated, yes. Do you feel no qualms about putting yourself in danger with such talk?

[voring]

[Sometimes you just say shit... He blinks, like this thought had not even occurred to him.]

Am I? Aren't other people thinking the same kind of stuff? I mean, no one would be stealing the knives and all if they weren't preparing to fight.

[akademise]

A more benevolent interpretation of the act would be to think it a preventative measure.

[ He certainly hopes that is the case and he can think of several people who might get that idea into their heads. ]

Though I do not deny it is troubling in its own right to have all the sharp objects in a single unknown hand.

[voring]

Oh! Yeah, I guess that's possible too, huh?

[CLEARLY IT DIDN'T OCCUR TO HIM but he can also think of a few people it might apply to now that he's mulling it over.]

I guess we'll know what they intended as soon as we see whether or not any bodies come back with butter knife stabs.

[akademise]

You hold a rather carefree attitude towards the matter.

[ He's not angry at Obikawa exactly, but it's becoming increasingly difficult not to notice on the tonal dissonance between him and everyone else. ]

That said, I cannot imagine that the knife burglar would use any of them to end a life unless they also planned on planting the whole collection in a different room afterwards. A search would paint them as guilty rather quickly otherwise.

[voring]

I guess so, huh?

[Compared to all of the people here, certainly... Oh, death, you are just out there haunting everyone.]

But that's a good point! But someone could probably hide 'em pretty well if they really wanted, and those wolves clearly have access to way more stuff than the rest of us. What if they can just throw knives into the producer's room when they're done with 'em?

[akademise]

[ You know, in all the emotional turmoil of the weekend, he really had not properly thought about this at all.

And now that he does? He hates it! ]

Given that we never discovered the "power tool" that was utilized for dismemberment, that appears to be the case. Regardless of whether or not we hide the possible tools of murder around the house, the director will make certain that the wolves are never lacking in options.

[voring]

[AND HE'S SO RIGHT TO! Obikawa personally thinks it is very unfair that they don't have access to power tools and secret murder weapons. Rude...]

Exactly! The cards are stacked in their favor, so we gotta do what we can to make sure their advantages don't totally kneecap us.
