[Lady Squee]

Speaking of work, I'm curious as to if anyone is going to analyze my OP.

I would if I had more experience with the complexities of RDs. I usually just play them casually and let others do the grunt work.

Any list of roles that you're using, I can't seem to find a good, comprehensive list out on the webs.

[Lady Squee]

Well, you know that there was a cop and is a wolf. You have played Mafia, I think you said, and a few RDs... what are the main roles that you remember?

[Captain Jordan]

Wolf, Matchmaker, Detective, Mayor. Someone above mentioned Masons. That's all I can remember.

[Lady Squee]

When others get here, they can help you out.

[Lady Squee]

Ahem...
When others get here....

[hider=Analysis]
Squee point out if I misread anything (if you read this). This is my analysis of what happened.

They were in the middle of nowhere. Empty farmland spread from the asphalt for as far as the eye could see. Mixtures of browns, yellows, and greens drifted away from the large vehicle as it sputtered down the path. The sky had grown eerie over the course of the day; dark storm clouds gathered from the West. A sudden bellow of thunder shook the bus for a quick moment before flashes of lightning played tag among the clouds.

Cool so we have some setting. I really don’t think any of this is relevant to roles though just giving us a backdrop.

Bea squealed with fear, jumping away from the window and closer to her father’s side. Shy sighed as he pulled his arm out from between them and wrapped it around his daughter’s small body.

“You know there is nothing to be afraid of, Little Hen. It’s only thunder,” he told her, his grip around her tightening momentarily. “Sounds can’t hurt you and as long as you are in this bus with me, the lightning won’t hurt you, either.” The man felt his daughter nod against his chest and allowed a small smile to cross his face. She was just like her mother in so many ways.

Squee cruelly pairing me up with Bea. We could possibly be the matched pair as mentioned before but I don’t find this likely. Usually the matched pair are lovers, not a father’s love for his daughter. It is possible though.

“Bless her heart,” spoke a silvery voice from the driver’s seat. Though Shy could not fully see the woman it belonged to, he noted her russet hair and matching eyes through the rear-view mirror. “Y’know, thunder used to scare me as a youngin’. I got over that real quick when I started drivin’. Cain’t let a li’l fear hinder ya if ya wanna go somewhere.”

Bea looked up from her father’s coat to try and see who was talking to her. She sounded really sweet, whoever it was… even if she talked funny. “Who are you?”

“Foxxie’s the name, bus drivin’s the game. I’m the gal in charge a’ gettin’ you and the rest a’ these good folks back home.”

“I’m Bea! And this is Dad!” the seven-year old rushed to get out. Shy chuckled, “You can just call me Shy”

I think this could quite possibly fill the lovers and matchmaker role. Bea being the connection between Foxxie and Shy and how much she likes Foxxie despite barely knowing her. Quite possibly Bea is the matchmaker and she put Foxxie and I together.

“Shy, it is.” said the woman with a nod as the thunder shook the bus again. “This storm is kickin’ up, ain’t it? We’re about an hour away now, if we kin come across a truck-stop, we can wait there until it blows over.” As if on cue, smoke began to rise from the hood. “Darn thing,” Foxxie muttered, giving the steering wheel a good pop with her hand before guiding the bus to the side of the road. It continued to roll for good ten feet before finally sputtering to its death.

This just continues the story, pretty sure there are no clues here.

“What’s going on? Why have we stopped?” Drakel questioned, standing up from his seat near the back of the bus, his hands instinctively moving to his waist..

Normally I’d comment here but we know he is the Cop and now he is dead. Oh well.

Nex stood up behind the round man, his slender face peeking up above Darkel’s shoulder. “Ma’am, this may be a bit inconvenient, but there is a storm approaching and it might be best to get a move on!”

Nex is associated with Drakel here, could be something, could be nothing, who knows? He also seems like he may be in a bit of a rush, relevant?

Foxxie muttered a few profanities under her breath before standing up and facing the crowd. Shy could finally see her now and that southern drawl didn't do her any justice. “Now, I understand that ya’ll may be confused, but it’d be best for all of us if ya just remained in yer seat and stayed calm. Somethin’ happened under the hood; let me go check it out, and then we’ll be on our way. Alright?” Without waiting for a response, the driver picked up the large bag behind her seat, popped the hood, opened the door, and braved the weather.

Second line there gives more evidence to my theory that Foxxie and I are the lovers. Foxxie also seems like a take charge person, maybe a Leader? Someone who gets two votes in a lynch or something? Hmmmm.

Meanwhile inside the bus, the passengers were quiet save for the few mutters of irritation and annoyance that floated around the bus.

“SUCK IT!” shouted a teenager from the back, his body rising in excitement. “Ten dollars! Give it up. Both of you. God, this feels good!”

“Jordan, shut up.”

“Yeah, Jordan. For Christ’s Sake, we didn’t ask you to hang just so you could embarrass the hell out of us.”

The young man cleared his throat, the excitement fading from him. He sank back to his seat, picking up his 3DS and casting an irked glance to Zed and Nightwing. Zed was about to speak when a loud roar of thunder shook the bus and Foxxie stepped back into the vehicle. She shook her head and tossed the bag on the driver’s seat before looking back over her passengers.

I’m honestly trying to find relevance here but all I can really see is that Jordan is sort of an outcast among his friends (Nightwing and Zed). He’s loud and annoying. Also he has a 3DS, I’m jealous.

“I cain’t tell what it is,” she told the group as she wiped the back of her hand against her forehead to get the hair out of her face. “Storm’s comin’ in hot and looks like 1we’re stuck here till it blows over. Looks like a li’l abandoned house on up the road a ways, and I’d bet we’d be a lot safer there than in this contraption.”

More leadership, I’m seeing a pattern here.

From the looks of the sky, they had only a few minutes to make their decision before the rain started pouring. Drakel was unsure of the idea, but from the bus, the house did look abandoned. It was a rather large home, taking a page from the plantation years. The man was honestly surprised that it was still standing. Hesitantly, he nodded his head in agreement with Foxxie. They needed to relocate to that house. There might be holes in the floorboard, or broken windows, but it would be safer than a bus that could flip in the strong wind.

Guess who was the first to leave? The dead guy. Dun dun duuuuuuun.

Nex followed Drakel’s lead, nodding and standing up from his seat. He started to make his way to the front. In the middle of the bus, three older men looked at each other, weighing the pros and cons. From the look of their attire, it had appeared they were travelling for business. Rilla, Awson, and Alpha finally came to a group decision, and agreed to go to the house. K-97 did not like the idea very well - dark and dank were not on his ‘Where to Get Away from a Storm’ list - but he knew it would probably be the best place to keep safe from the strong storm that was about to barrel through.

Once again Nex and Drakel are associated with each other. I have a feeling this is probably relevant. Nex is also the second one to leave. Rilla, Awson and Alpha are very clearly noted as a group, which is obviously important, maybe making them Masons. Nothing special about K-97 here other than he may be afraid of the dark and he seems practical.

Husband and Wife, Sera and Jster Hall, agreed to go to the house soon after Foxxie mentioned the idea. With three children, staying in a cramped bus would be bad for all of them. As long as the kids were safe, things would be fine. Mbl Hall, the oldest at 15, was to keep an eye on Nargle (12) and Doivid (5) at all times. The final person to agree to transfer was none other than Miss Nat, a beautiful starlet from California who was working her way up the ladder of fame.

So we have a family. Interesting. They seem fairly agreeable though why is it the oldest sons job to watch the other two? Shouldn’t their parents be watching? Its not like they have anywhere to go why can’t they watch the younger ones? Odd. Finally, off the bus we have Miss Nat and her occupation is made known, much like the businessmen. Is this important? Maybe.

“Alrighty then, so it’s settled. Getcher things, and we’ll be headed in. It’ll only take a hop an’ a skip, so we should be there before the rain hits,” Foxxie said, grabbing her tool bag, a radio, and her cellphone just in case they got some signal on the way. The rest of the passengers followed suit.

Nevermind about everything I just said about leaving order. Apparently everyone left at the same time. The order mentioned is still important though I bet. Also Foxxie taking charge AGAIN.

She was wrong. Luckily the door to the old abandoned house was cracked open, but thanks to the rust, Foxxie couldn’t fully push it out open.

“Damned thing. Why won’t ya just budge?!” Foxxie muttered in irritation. Her hand rubbed the sore shoulder that had been used to try and open the door. It would definitely be bruised in the morning.

“Allow me,” Shy insisted as he wrapped a hand gently around her arm. “I’ll take care of it.” The man moved her aside before leaning back and giving the door a hard kick. Immediately the door swung open, revealing the rotten smell of dead ladybugs and dirt. “Well, this will be cozy,” Shy said, turning back around with the largest smile on his face.

Shoxxie <3 I ship it.

Just as he was about to move out of the doorway to let the others inside, a white and blue mass caught his eye. The face that was one full of color drained to an ashen grey and his features froze.

So I found the dead guy. Nice.

“What is it?” Foxxie asked him, the rest of the group just staring at him like he was insane. She followed his gaze and gasped when she finally saw what he did. Her brown eyes looked back over the group and numbers started forming in her head. Someone was missing. “The rest of ya’ll go inside and find a room. Be careful of the floor. We’ll be back in a jiff.” Along with Shy, they ran to the form that was lying face down in the grass, Rain pelted them and the white shirt on the body was soaked. Foxxie shook her head as they crouched down beside the corpse. “Lord ‘ave mercy…” she whispered.

Wait so the dead guy is outside in the grass and NO ONE SAW HIM BUT ME? How blind are you people!? This is just more Foxxie being a leader and Shoxxie showing off.

A knife had been plunged into the poor man’s back. Shy reached down and turned the man over. Drakel was dead, the gun he had always carried laid on the ground like a Clue pawn. Officer down.

He was STABBED in the BACK. Remember that.
[/hider]

TL;DR
1) Drakel the Cop is dead
2)Nex was associated with Drakel twice
3) Shoxxie <3 Bea possibly matchmaker
4) Foxxie likes to take charge
5) We got 3 buisness man (Rilla, Awson, Alpha)
6) A Family (Jster, Sera, Nargle, Doivid and Mbl)
7) Nat and K-97 are loners
8) 3 teenagers, but one doesn't fit in (Zed, Nightwing and Jordan)
9) Drakel was stabbed in the back

[Lady Squee]

Shy, you had me chuckling at some parts.

"How blind are you people!?!?"

[Captain Jordan]

Shy said

Yay, I don't fit in!

Wait....that's not a good thing, is it? Aww, damn.

[Shy]

I try. Though I'm totally liking the Shoxxie thing. Even if it isn't a thing I still dig it.

EDIT: Also of note, Nex is associated with Drakel BOTH times he is mentioned yet he doesn't seem to notice that Drakel is missing? Odd. Also he doesn't even find him to be the dead one, I do. I'm a little suspicious.

[Shy]

WHY WON'T MY HIDER WORK

[K-97]

Well Shy I basically agree with everything but the matchmaker point (I think Squee might have tried to disguise it rather than play it out the typical way), I'm gonna stick to my gut on that one. Otherwise how do you think we should vote?

[Shy]

I vote Nex. I mean looking at that we have virtually NO evidence (that is obvious anyways). We know that Drakel was stabbed in the back, meaning he was stabbed from behind but virtually everyone left after him anyways. Like I said before, Nex was always mentioned with Drakel except once he was dead. Why didn't Nex point it out? Or notice even? I feel like that is the only clue we really have.

One thing I did notice was that Bea ran off the bus long before the decision was made to get off as a group and go to the house. Interesting tidbit that could mean something, and she is also not mentioned to be with the rest of the group for the remainder of the post (minus the end bit where Foxxie counts the group). This is suspicious but I have a strong feeling it isn't her.

You guys could also throw me in as a suspect since I was the one who found the dead body and all. The one who finds it is always the killer right?

Once again I completely agree, nice points there Shy.

I get this creepy feeling you're the killer and are saying that so we lynch the wrong person...

I'll lynch the wrong person then just so you keep me alive.

IN a serious look, I think the reason squee wrote drakel was stabbed in a back, as a clue.

Being stabbed in the back, means Betrayal in a symbolic sense, so maybe the killer is someone close to him.

Heh heh, youre joking right?

RIght?

Guys, don't kill me.



Don't mind the gif, I just wanted an excuse to use it.

But to be honest, I prefer the businessmen. They seem more suspicious and in my opinion a role like Mason is so much less likely to appear in an RD game. As for Nex, an equally likely suspect for the aforementioned reasons. At this point in the game the tinest clues mean everything but until we get more we can't know for sure.

Edit: Then again I haven't played enough of Squee's games to know if she does use Masons, anyone with more experience like to enlighten me.

So Nex.

Unless there is something that will be revealed later like Miss Nat and Drakel were screwing around then she killed him.

Just because they are a business men doesn't mean they are the killer. If we going off what everyone is, then the kids die first, because no one expects the children to be the spawn of satan.

But w are not.
