Day 3

[ A bright new day has dawned, maybe. It's not like you can see the outside world. But the tablets keep diligent track of time, and promptly at 6am they provide something for you: A new immunity challenge. ]

I feel like your shock and disdain is a little wasted. You really think the people who voted as they liked weren't intending to murder?

[very_good_end]

Ah. When one is a Great Detective, one learns to clear their mind of all presumptions. Or at least, as many as they can.

I do not believe we've been introduced. May I hear your name to mark our introduction as complete? As I said, I am the Great Detective Furudo Erika. How do you do?

[robosb4bros]

Aura Blackquill. I met your little sidekick the other day.

[very_good_end]

So you are Aura Blackquill. I am pleased to finally make your acquaintance.

[pause]

...Which sidekick, specifically?

[robosb4bros]

How many do you have, specifically?

[very_good_end]

[she shrugs] Potentially, everyone. Your brother, for example, has been very helpful to my investigations.

[robosb4bros]

He's always had a soft spot for little girls.

But no, your friend, Dlanor.

[very_good_end]

[PAUSE]

...Dlanor is not a 'friend'. Our relationship is beyond trivialities such as 'friendship'.

I do hope you helped her complete a square or two.

[robosb4bros]

[raises her eyebrows, then, more genuine]

...Didn't realize it was that serious, sorry. I didn't give her that hard of a time, if that's what you're worried about. She seemed like an alright kid.

1/2

[very_good_end]

... [well, now it was her turn to be taken aback, as she wasn't expecting a full apology.]

[very_good_end]

...It's not a problem. No need to apologize, Miss Blackquill.

Is that so? I'm glad to hear it. Though, you are wrong in one respect. Miss Dlanor A. Knox is not a 'kid'. ...Well, perhaps you would also call myself a 'kid,' but neither of us are children.

[robosb4bros]

Once you make it to my age, everyone seems incredibly young.

--And "Ms." if you must. "Miss" makes me sound like some crotchety spinster locked in an attic in some Victorian novel.

[very_good_end]

As you prefer, Ms. Blackquill.

Will you consent to a little interview for the purpose of my investigation? Nothing I wouldn't ask anyone else, of course.

[robosb4bros]

Is this part of the detectiving? I must say I don't have the best rapport with the police.

[very_good_end]

Then, you will have no problem with me. I am not at all affiliated with the police.

[she smiled]

First things first. Please, tell me where your first vote fell. Was it for Ticky Mikk?

[robosb4bros]

That was the plan, wasn't it?

[very_good_end]

It was. And did you follow through?

[robosb4bros]

I thought about it. I am curious what monkey's paw side effect takes place when someone's immunity is challenged. However, in the end, I just couldn't be the one to disappoint poor Simon when he was trying so hard.

[very_good_end]

...Hm. So to clarify, you were tempted to vote for Reigen Arataka-san, but you eventually relented and your ultimate vote was for Ticky Mikk?

[robosb4bros]

Yes, you did successfully comprehend the English language. I haven't decided who I care to vote off the island next time, in case you cared.

[very_good_end]

I am the detective, Ms. Blackquill. I must establish what you mean to say beyond a shadow of a doubt. There is no room for error in vague words, or otherwise.

Though, would you feel more comfortable conducting this interview in private? You seem hesitant to speak, and that will not do for my investigation.

[robosb4bros]

Am I a suspect?

[very_good_end]

Ms. Blackquill, everyone is a suspect.

[robosb4bros]

In our mass kidnapping? Or do you suspect some other setup?

[very_good_end]

Ah. Your question has many layers built upon it. Surely there are those who will commit murder via the vote, those who have enabled this incident through various means, and, of course, the hidden identities of the Ronald McDonald and Colonel Sanders themselves, including whatever mastermind is guiding them.

All are, to some extent, guilty. All will be discovered. That is but a mere matter of time.

When you are a detective, you cannot content yourself to simply identify one cog in a whole murderous machine and call it a day. You must expose the entire inner workings. And when you are a Great Detective, you cannot accept anything less.
