Viewing Party 2 - R3: THE RE-CRY-ENING

[misanthropicprinciple]

We got castmates. We got clues. We got crap to bitch about. They get a library? And a LAUNDRY MACHINE?

Welcome, murderfam... TO THE R3 LIVEWATCH.

I'm willing to believe they might've done the nasty. You know how some people will smoke a cigarette afterwards to take the edge off? I got a feeling weed would work even better for some people.

[Junpei Tenmyouji, bringing in the college knowledge.]

Rick tells Akande he's gonna hotbox one of the cells between rounds, because don't tell me Akande's not the kind of guy who wants to show off his stamina. Akande waits, Rick doesn't come back, he goes up to check. Boom. Trap.

[He rubs his chin, then adds:]

Leon was further into the cell, so he might've been in there first. There's nothing to suggest he was lured out, but--aw, hell. [He rubs his eyes.] The baseball. Maybe he was practicing his baseball when no one could see him.

[scourgingstars]

I don't know. There seems like there's something more than that, and...

...And does he seem unusually prepared to execute Noctis in a hurry, or is that my imagination?

[misanthropicprinciple]

It's not just you. Someone wants this over fast.

[don't mind the princess butting in]

That is no contradiction, though. If he is telling the truth, then he would want to avenge his lover. Clarith was much the same way after we found Dame Mikaela.

[daughterofthemark]

...and yet, I'm not certain Sir Rick would react the same way...

[scourgingstars]

...

[That was definitely a curse in Latin Lucian just then.]

[daughterofthemark]

Lord Ardyn?

[DID YOU JUST COME UP WITH A NEW THING ARIANNA WILL HAVE TO SAY?]

[scourgingstars]

[nO, arianna]

You don't think that...we're assuming the wrong person is our hypothetical shapeshifter?

[daughterofthemark]

[EXCREMENTUM!]

I--

Do I?

[Did she say something important without realizing it? SHE'S CONFUSED]

[stitch_in_time]

You might, sounds like.

[Note to self, do not mess with the princess, she is either capable of extreme subconscious deductions or is very lucky.]

[daughterofthemark]

I see.

[Not really, but she's catching up. With herself, apparently.]

[stitch_in_time]

...It could definitely fit. The evidence pointing to Noctis is a little too obvious, yeah?

[scourgingstars]

That's exactly what I've been saying--it can't be Noctis. I can't think of a reason Rick would kill Akande, but...but if that isn't him to begin with, then the point's invalidated anyway.

[serrata]

The only question is how long. Was the real Rick-san ever in there to begin with? Or has someone been imitating him this whole time?

[ she's running with 'rick's the shapeshifter' because that's fathoms less distressing than it being Noctis ]

[daughterofthemark]

[Yes, of course, Rick the shapeshifter, definitely exactly what she was thinking.]

If the real one was never there at all, would that differ significantly from the situation of this being the real Sir Rick?
