islandiastaff | DAY 3 - Loser's Lounge

[Sorry, better luck next time, Ema and Tsuruya!

As you careen through the air, a star in the distance comes into focus. It's actually an elaborate, floating airship, tracing a slow orbit around Islandia. Emblazoned on the side of it is a huge, ornate sign, reading:

YOU TRIED

You land, safely but without dignity, on the landing deck, where another strange person with a strange head is there to greet you with a consolatory fruit basket.]

Hello, hello! So sorry about your elimination from the game. But don't worry, everything is just peachy up here in the Loser's Lounge! Here, have a fruit basket!

Come in, come in, make yourself at home. If you need anything, anything at all, just ask me, G.U.E.S.T!

[Amenities inside the Loser's Lounge:

-Big, comfy bedrooms
-All-you-can-eat buffet
-Observation decks to admire the view
-Big TVs showing a live broadcast of the Islandia proceedings
-Free booze

Current population:
Ema Skye

Sit back and relax until the final round, when your input will be needed one last time.]

DAY 0

So, a spy, eh? Hmm hmm hmm... the Tsuruyas are nothing but not sneaky when they needs to be. I wonder who the other spies are? Ah well. This is gonna be super megas fun, even if I lose! I just hope everybody else sees it the same way. Seems like this could get ugly if we ain't all good sports about it.

[Leorio's face gets in real close to the camera, staring for a moment.]

....

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I AM DOING.

DAY 1

[This confession cam is just a frog sitting in front of the camera for two hours. Occasionally he ribbits. Occasionally someone nearby whispers: Hey, Tapioca, sing them something or Get up and dance around! or, after a particularly loud ribbit, Haha, yeah, I feel you there, buddy!]

[It's after the first trial, and Robin is rubbing the back of her neck sheepishly.]

Just me, Ema, and that other girl. Can you believe that, man? I guess I got caught up in the moment, again!

[A groan.] I'm probably gonna get voted off tomorrow by 'em! I hope we really end up at a lounge, and I'm not shot into the sun or anything...

DAY 2

Everyone's discussing about voting out Tsuruya, all because of my one vote on her the other day. Didn't think it'd gain that much traction.

Whoever slipped that note to that kid though...they might be dangerous if they noticed that much.

It might have been easier if Robin hadn't run her mouth like that. The whole idea about me telling her where I was leaving the napkin was that she could then plausibly claim she'd just found that secret message.

[Ema sighs and shakes her head.]

Oh well. I made sure we had our evidence and it helped us make our conviction. I knew we'd need it. The first rule of the the courtroom is that decisive evidence is king and scientifically speaking that's been true since forever, even back in the olden days when we had the Jurist System. Sure, you get your Manfred von Karmas who can just glare at an attorney or a judge and they fold half the time, but even they back it up with evidence.

Granted, evidence that they sometimes made up, but the note was exactly what it was supposed to be! A note from the detective.

Me.

[She grins widely.]

But you guys guessed that by now, right?

Robin isn't the other detective, but I know who they are. And we're working together.

[The frog is on the camera again! This time, you can see that he's sitting on top of a teapot, but the camera angle puts whoever is underneath the teapot out of the picture.

There's a voice speaking, but the frog isn't opening his mouth.]

Hello, everybody! It's me, Detective O'Pickles, the great frog detective. I'm here to crack the case, so don't worry!

Now, let's look at the clues. Clue #1, the napkin. Whoever our detective is, they were on that boat 'cause otherwise, how could they get a napkin? Clue #2, the handwriting. Whoever wrote that note has super nice and neat and fancy handwriting! Clue #3, Tsuruya. Ivlis voted for Tsuruya on the first day! Is that a coinky-dink? I'm not so sure! Clue #4, mashed potatoes. Wirt did not want to eat mashed potatoes from my pocket, even though he was hungry.

Yes, yes. Based on all the clues, I have a detective hunch! But you'll all have to wait to find out!

[One would think that getting catapulted into the sky would be a terrifying experience. But Tsuruya had been LAUGHING the whole way up, and now was watching some of the old confession cam stuff.]

Hahaha! Oh Greg, you cutie-patootie! Never change!

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaghh.

[Thump. Guess who just got there?]

Ooof.

Ema-nyo! Ya made it! Welcome to the winner's circle! Hahahahaha!

[She helps her to her feet.]

You doing okay?

Yeah! That was the weirdest thing I've ever gone through.

[Weirder than being transported to a mysterious island by an envelope?]

Thanks, Tsuruya. Sorry about last night, but I was just doing my job.

Nah, nah, don't worry about it! It's all part of the game, right? I don't need wishes that badly anyway. I'm just glad I gots the opportunity to give it a shot!

[Ema smiles.] Yeah. I am too.

I hope Axel and Leorio do okay without me, though. Maybe they'll have that meeting we were talking about, with all the cleared villagers.

Oh! Oh oh! Does that mean one of 'em is the other detective? Wow!

... yeah. I guess since we're up here it's okay to admit it.

Oh man, ha ha ha! I never even suspected! Guess I really gotta up my game on this sorta stuff!

Man, though, you're supers good! You got me nailed so quickly! I guess you really are an awesome detective!

Haha, that was because Leorio had scanned you and me in the same scan and got 'spy detective' and I'd also gotten a 'spy' in my scan with you in, so once Axel had hooked us up together, it was way easy to compare notes and think you were probably the spy and if it wasn't you it was the third person in Leorio's scan. But it was you!

Wow! Wow wow! Do all detectives work this megas well together? Maybe I SHOULD learn how to be a detective!

I could teach you! We could fingerprint stuff and I'd show you how to use the luminol to find hidden bloodstains!

... but I told Greg no such...

Axel, you sly dog.

[She's grinning as wide as heck.]

I knew telling Greg to contact Axel if I went down was a great idea.

I see, I see. You two are very clever.

Hmm... you sure picked your targets well. Both of 'em are spies. Wonder which one they're gonna ends up taking down, though?

We are, aren't we?

I don't mind which they pick, really. I bet Leorio must have scanned them in a group with Sugar. We wanted to make sure she really was the Jailer, after all.

That was such a weird admission, tho. I mean, if I were the Jailer, I wouldn't give up a cozy position just like that.

Then again, you guys woulda probably lost me megas quick anyway with my game-playing skills! Hahaha!

I know! I don't think she was really thinking strategically at all.
