...Oh?

[pause, her face gets tense]

You mean this isn't the literal Ronald McDonald, the corporate mascot who is acting as emcee and executioner? It's someone coincidentally with an identical name?

[laterboners]

Yup. His parents are dicks.

[very_good_end]

That... is...

[nggggggggggggggghhhhh!!]

Are you kidding me!? Of all the stupid, third-rate tricks, that has got to be the lowest common denominator!

[laterboners]

Honestly, I think it was less a trick, and more of a meth thing.

[very_good_end]

[she'll just trail off into her own muttering for another minute or so]

That's... fine... I'll just have to... revise... that line of reasoning...

[godhole]

She's right. I'm sure we can all agree that it's the lowest common denominator, but the only trick here is the one that Mac's meth-fueled parents played on him.

1/2

[very_good_end]

Right!? "Oh, there just happens to be two people with the exact same identical names!" If they're going to stoop to doing that, what won't they do?!

[very_good_end]

[she finally calms herself, taking a deep breath]

So, this Mac, is he as much as a lowlife as you are making his parents out to be?

[godhole]

Why do all of you people seem to think that the kidnapper is going to put himself on the list? That's completely moronic. It makes no sense at all. Obviously it was just going to be a guy with the same name.

And no, of course not. I wouldn't hang out with somebody who's as much of a loser as Mac's parents.

[very_good_end]

[her eyes widen with surprise, but she'll give it an honest answer.]

Well, my line of reasoning was that it would be a trap of some sort for anyone who actually tried to vote for him. It's worthless to elaborate with more speculation on the nature of the trap, but so goes the reasoning... which I will now have to revise.

[she shrugs]

Speaking of losers, Mr. Reynolds. Who did your vote fall for? Please state who you used your vote for, clearly.

[godhole]

Yyyyyeah, so why would I tell you that?

[very_good_end]

Because I asked you.

[godhole]

See, here's the thing. If I tell you now, you're just going to ask next time and the time after that. The next thing I know you're just asking me more questions, questions, questions, and I don't feel like putting up with that.

[very_good_end]

[she laughs]

First of all: I am the detective, conducting my investigation. I have the right to question everyone here. If you do not want to answer the detective's reasonable questions such as "Did you attempt to murder someone?" then there must be a reason why.

Though, really, "He wouldn't answer my questions because he felt like being contrary and petulant for its own sake," is pretty sad, Mr. Reynolds.

Second of all: I am going to be asking you, anyway. If you are under the impression telling me 'no' now means I will go away forever... well, you are operating under a very wrong assumption.

[godhole]

This is exactly what I'm talking about. You're being very annoying right now.

[very_good_end]

... And?

[godhole]

And have you perhaps considered not being annoying?

[very_good_end]

...No, I don't believe that's in my interests at the moment.

[smiles]

Have you considered answering my question?

[godhole]

No, I don't believe that's in my interests at the moment.

[very_good_end]

Hm. [pause]

Seriously?

...Is this a ruse? Was your vote really for one of the others? I have to wonder.

Did you have any interactions with this 'Handsome Jack' who was voted, then?

[godhole]

Nope, I just think you're a pain in the ass.

[very_good_end]

... [another laugh] And?

So, is that a confession that you did follow the plan and vote for Ticky Mikk, then?

[godhole]

Are you deaf? My "confession" is that I'm not talking to you because you're annoying pain in the ass!

[very_good_end]

... [she shrugs]

No one is arguing with you, Mr. Reynolds.
