You Pick: Blame baabaa.
You can hear the waves rippling in the sea behind you, and struggling against the mob seems to produce no result. In a last-ditch effort to save yourself from sleeping with the fishes, you point as convincingly as you can at the distant sheep, crying out in desperation. After all, you know it wasn’t you. “It– I was framed! It was her! Sh-she’s standing over there all by herself because she wanted to be as far from Lucid as possible when you found him! I–”
“LMAO, sure.” Bebop scoffs. “Could you be a little more suspicious, dumb*ss?”
Nobody shows any sign of stopping. The edge of the deck creeps nearer and nearer. At your accusation, the sheep takes a step back. Just as she looks like she’s about to ditch you, though, you see a glimmer of thought in her eyes. “Um,” she calls out, “actually… are you sure this is smart?”
The group quickly forms a mob, they carry you up to the main deck with the sole intention of throwing you overboard. You begin to panic and scream for help. “Why me?” you plead. Almost in unison, they yell back at you “Fry me!”. You realized you’ve accidentally sealed your own fate. Just then you spot baabaa in the distance. She was not present at the scene of the crime and had stumbled upon the crowd. What do you do?
1. Ask baabaa to save you.
2. Cry.
3. Try to reason with the crowd.
4. Blame baabaa.
5. Try to fight back.
You Pick: Immediately shift the blame to the nearest person. [Failed]
Everyone continues to stare at you, terrified at the sight of their captain’s corpse. You quickly turn to Reamix, who is flustered by the sight of you next to the dead body. Without hesitation, you point your finger at her. “You! You were screaming before you even walked into the room”. You said, unsure if it was the truth. Everyone began to whisper among themselves as Reamix takes a step back from you, taken aback by the sight of the body. Bebop rushes to her defense and steps in between you two, talking you down, but the entire crowd begins to fling accusations at each other. Reamix starts to cry which prompts Jamal to walk up to you. He takes one look at the corpse then back at you. “It is very disrespectful to make a lady cry, let alone murder a man.” he says as Jimbei approaches the body and begins to inspect it. She pulls the knife out of his back. “Wow, someone sure did a number on this guy” she said as the blood drips off the blade and onto the floor.
You continue, unhappily in defense, to blurt out unnecessary accusations to save yourself. “Reamix, why were you outside in the halls? I saw you running out of this room a moment ago…”. She’s flabbergasted at your interrogation of her when you’re the prime suspect. Jamal then proceeds to restrain your arms from behind. You’ve dug yourself into a hole that you might not be able to climb out of…
You decide to open the door, terrified of what you might find inside. There you find Lucid, face down in a pool of blood, with a knife in his back. Just then Reamix finds you and begins to scream. Everyone hears it and rushes over, their wide eyes aimed at you standing besides Lucid’s corpse.
1. Try to explain yourself.
2. Immediately shift the blame to the nearest person.
3. Run away!
4. Ignore everyone and start looking for clues.
5. Start interrogating people.
You Pick: Snoop around
Being the curious person you are, you decide to snoop around the ship. You wait until everyone else heads back to their rooms and start to explore the ship to find anything of interest. You spot many priceless artifacts, such as a rare painting of a tricksterer riding on a dikdik. You continue walking through the halls of the ship before noticing something eerie. There is a smudge of blood on one of the doors…
Just then, you hear Lucid at the bow of the ship. He’s clanking the side of his glass with a silver fork. You and Baabaa decide to walk over to him. “Welcome all to my EpicCruise! I am your captain, Lucid.” he sings as the passengers gathered around him, “I have decided that you ten are the lucky bunch who get to embark on a journey with me to the wonderful Canary Islands. We will be arriving there at promptly 8AM tomorrow so, please, set your alarms for early. Tonight, enjoy hors d'oeuvres and quality beverages and then go to your assigned bedrooms and rest up!” It was getting dark. What do you want to do?
1. Hide in your bedroom like the sad person you are
2. Follow Lucid
3. Snoop around
4. Continue talking with Baabaa
You Pick: Baabaa
You walk over to Baabaa. You are confused as to why a lamb is on a ship, and reason that she might just be a furry. She looks at you and smiles. “Good morning!”. You look up at the sky. It is not morning.
