Literary UPICK || Prologue - Chapter 6

Vote: No Vote because i am legitimately leaving rn and don't have time to look at the walnut storm that is mouse kids right pendiddly now

Well, home finally, so, proper reading and posting time:

---

As I watched the conversation turn into outright melee, with critical information coming at only the last minute, it was all I could do to retain my sanity and do escape through the nearest high window. With confused information coming from all sides, our apparent security officer and arbites both frothing at the mouth, while everyone flailed about about, either to apologize, accuse them, or simply scream their insecurities at the whole of the group, I was at least able to glean something from the mob, and it started to seem to me that, on our side or not, keeping Lulu and Aeiou around might be for the best, even despite the latter's Freudian slips about how she spends her spare time.

Aeiou wrote:I will go out in a raging vore fire if I have to!!! I just need to think what all I want to reveal omg

More importantly, Aeiou seemed keen on information that would prove helpful, one way or another. I gave her a smile and a nod. "Well investigated, Aeiou. In that case, I shall unvote, and decree that I vote Nautilus."

I figure even if I was wrong, if she proved to be that second jailer (as Aeiou seemed to imply, from what I gathered through her confused ramblings about investigation, not wanting to die, and eating people), then that would at least allow us to return our attention to Lulu. And if that is not the case either...at least the discussion wouldn't expand two-fold every time Nautilus came to say something.

I have a question for Aeiou!

Do you happen to know if your role will see the night kill too, or just role powers?

thank u for your hard work cure senpai

anyway i'm kind of bothered by the fact nautilus isn't around to defend themselves but tbf this was a really late info dump um...

...

I'm not sure what is going anymore

Out of character...yeah, wish she were here. But, if she's the best lead right now...=/

I just get roles that targeted so I assume NK would count! And its literally just the book names that I receive, no powers

UM i just finished dinner and there are so many pages and it's so hard to read and idk what to make of it all???

I'm kind of uncomfortable with the sudden nautilus bandwagon without her being here to defend herself though so idk....... hopefully she'll show up soon, although tbh idk who else I would vote for......

im not caught up yet because mobile is fucking harsh but on the page im on i know i need to unvote asap - will return with another vote when im caught up

DONT NO LYNCH IM GOING TO CRY
WE LITERALLY HAVE ONE PERSON CLAIMING NIGHT INFORMATION ON ANOTHER PERSON

AT LEAST ONE OF THESE PEOPLE INVOLVED HAVE TO BE MAF!!! VOTE FOR ONE OF THEM!!!

i am pretty sure rasei is trying to vote every player and non player in this game it is her personal goal or she hates me and my tiny little owl feet

I KEEP TRYING TO POST AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE VOTE TALLY IS

UHHH this makes me wonder if aeiou has inaccurate results, because in one game i played with deo and a couple of folks on this forum there there was a mortician who had a paired inaccurate result with each of their results so I'm wondering if that happened here? the fact that eleni has outright stated that she didn't target lulu that night makes me wonder what happened here because that implies another source of redirection

either way, my role PM has involved a shitload of guesswork because it's basically written with about as much clarity as half of my posts in this game have been and i straight up have been guessing what my role can do because it's written in the exact same format as the book. thanks kiyoko for going all out on it

long story short, i have several abilities that trigger when i die! i have been told by the hosrs that apparently all the fun happens when i die so i guess i'll find out what happens when i die, i guess.

The way my role PM is split up is that half of it is the Navidson Record, which has a scene that implies that my house is like schrodinger's cat (?) and I presume this means that something about my rollover flip is going to be either inaccurate or missing

Half of it is Truant, which implies that something will linger upon you after it seems to be gone, and a small quote on the side THAT IS SIDEWAYS, THANKS KIYOKO, is from Zampano, which implies that something will happen to the universe(?) that only the dead would know and I completely read this part as something will happen to the forum itself and I kind of want to die just to see what will happen. I hope it's great

ANYWAYS LOL I WANT TO UNVOTE LULU AND ATTEMPT TO SAVE MYSELF AT THIS RATE BUT IS IT EVEN WORTH IT MAN!!!

ftr though i feel for you lulu even though you don't know what my alignment is because i know what it's like to be there in that moment

repressed memories, man

Okay, wait, there's one thing I'm missing in all of this. Maybe I am an idiot, but:

lulu wrote:- the other one is nautilus-senpai who we don't know the ability of but HOUSE OF LEAVES IS VERY CONCEIVABLY A JAILER ROLE

What makes you sure she's House of Leaves?

Was she posting like it?

... I've never read House of Leaves so I don't... know...

Also, how do we know there wasn't a redirect/bus last night and the jail was intended for another target? It'd be... kind of unlikely all things considered, but.

So for mafia to have jailed you, lulu, the town jail, they'd have had to role investigate you N0, correct? Or just get lucky? But it's sounding like there was... apparently a bus between you and Tet, and eleni happened to put a redirect/pseudo-lightning rod onto Tet, which went onto you*, and you had the NK, so that brought it onto her, and she absorbed it?

So then if you were actually the NK, then mafia... probably wouldn't investigate you N0?

Basically:

1. Where does this nautilus = maf jail come from, since it's the one point I'm not following
and
2. If the setup now says you're possibly the N0 NK, this suggests mafia probably had no idea you were actually the jailer, unless I'm wrong?

* Wait, how does eleni's role act as an absorb if she's... bussed? Would it be... she takes the bus target for the other person? So then it'd be her bussed with lulu N0? But then how does she survive the N0 kill if it wasn't directly at lulu since her role implies her target has to get the kill... or...?

This situation is confusing as fuck. Re-reading again, I guess.
