The safest haven are the cabins: simple but sturdy sanded, stained-wood logs and a roof. Each cabin has two twin bunk beds, a fold-up table with two chairs, a tiny kitchenette, and a bathroom. A mini fridge in the kitchenette has a few cans of soda, hot dogs, eggs, and sandwich meat which periodically replenish. Ingredients for smores, crackers, and bread are on the counter. There’s electricity! Of course, it will go out from time to time, and campers are forced to use the flashlights available instead.
He's checking the place, opening the fridge and frowning disapprovingly at the hot dogs and putting them back. He flicks the light on and squints at the flickering and seemingly unstable nature of it sometimes, but it seems serviceable.
You read his mind... Pretty shoddy place, still... but it's decent. Probably going to be crowded again later this week. ]
[looking at the bunk beds, considering how much stuff they can get away with stealing. she hears his thoughts, and what crosses her mind immediately is: as long as we don't tick off another tree...
fuck the tree. all her homies hate the tree.]
It's decent... We should take some of this stuff back to the cabin with us before it disappears.
Alright. I'm a ditto. [ He has learned to say that properly because the last time he just said 'ditto' he caused some confusion. ] The ability is... I've got a wide range, actually.
I can essentially summon a random one throughout the week. Based on everything I could learn about it, I'm near-certain I pull from other monsters.
Between that and talking to people, I think I've got a pretty decent idea on some of the powers at play.
Yes. Which is why I can confirm the existence of certain powers out there, namely -- manifestation of an object, induced bloodthirst in another, evidence creation, and being able to see the vote spread during or after a trial.
Beside that, I think we're aware that amorous and odious feelings are more than likely a monster power of their own... body swap as well. We also know that healing is likely one.
I hear that animal transformation and body modification -- as in enlarging a body part -- are also an example.
Aside that, I'm working on what Gumiho may have been. Based on what I read in last week's libraries, they're spiteful creatures with the power of illusion... based on the vote scry I saw, there was no reason for Karlach to be the second-most voted. My initial thought was that Caelus could have had multi-weight voting, but based on the illusory factor, I think evidence creation could be a possibility as well.
What does "examining an item for more information" entail, exactly?
[she furrows her eyebrows while taking all of that in. like, damn daaniel. this is a lot.]
... You really lucked out with your power. [I'm almost a little jealous...] Mine is exactly as it sounds. If there's an item I want to learn more about, I can examine it and get this... sense about it. For example, that's actually how I knew that the items people keep bringing back from their trips are meant to be used in a ritual. I can also learn who wrote something when I see it, or at least I can tell where it came from.
I can't use it during trials, though. So I've been trying to learn more about the ritual itself.
Most of them were a bit useless to me personally. Obviously I'm not going to invoke bloodthirst in another person... the evidence creation, I thought would be helpful to call forth a piece of evidence we hadn't discovered yet, but it turns out it's exactly what it says on the tin and nothing more. It fabricates evidence. More helpful to a murderer than to the one solving it. The vote scry is how I came to my hypothesis regarding Karlach's placement, but that's about it. Maybe I should've saved it for after the trial instead, but I'd wanted to see the progress and distribution in case we found both and needed to organise something quickly.
[ He nods though in regards to what Asa says. ]
...That's a pretty smart way of using it. That makes sense why and where you'd gotten that information.
As rough as the trials are... that's all just fester. The quicker you can close the actual wound, the better.
... That was a smart move, though. Anticipating the way votes are starting to line up would be useful if we ever need to coordinate a tie or sway people away from voting for someone who has a partner.
[too bad they don't know who actually has it. godspeed, whoever you are? hate to say that she preens ever so slightly when he says it's smart, though. this dumbass teen.]
Ah, well, it still feels a little disappointing that I can't use it then. But never mind that. Could you tell me if you end up summoning my power one day? I know who my partner is, so if we coordinate between us, we can get a full three uses out of it without accidentally checking the same things.

W4, tuesday

That's not half-bad... I think.

no subject
[ It's almost worse than the front... almost... ]
And make use of the kitchenette, I suppose.
no subject
[which will not be very long because someone is definitely going to ruin the cabins with murder, but it's fine.
anyway... she glances at him, considering something.]
... By the way, have you shared your monster with anyone this week?
no subject
...
No, I haven't. I've been severely underutilising our weekly limit, actually.
no subject
no subject
It's up to you.
no subject
[super dead? or he can just not answer that, but she nods.]
... Let's trade. We can both cross out one of the monsters from Famine's list this way, right?
no subject
I've got a fair amount of things I could talk to you about, but due to circumstances, I'll ask you to go first.
no subject
Right... [she takes a breath.] I'm the Gargoyle. I can, um, learn more about this place by examining an object.
no subject

anyway, the first thing that comes out of her mouth is just—]
Are you serious? Holy crap.
[that's such a cool monster power, wtf.]

no subject
Sure, but I can only hold onto one a week and I can't choose what I end up with... so can't promise anything.
no subject
[though the rng power lottery may not be so kind.]
Do you already know what power you got this week?
no subject
no subject
Ugh... That one's totally useless. What a waste.
no subject
[ Even though a murder with that would be so sick but I also get how it could be a logistical nightmare OOCly. ]
no subject
[imagine waking up with a gazillion injuries you don't remember... nightmare.]
Is the other ditto still out there...?
no subject
Found out the hard way after Aqua's execution.
[ Now you have more lore on why W2 weekend was such a funny chain of nonstop bad, ]
no subject
Wait, weren't you also cursed from the swamp and from trying to leave the execution that day?
[DAAN WHY DID THE STARS ALIGN TO SAY FUCK YOU???]
no subject
It's fine everything is fine. ]
