DAY 6 - Loser's Lounge
[Better luck next time, Sakura and Kaito!
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
Kaito Kuroba
Leorio Paladiknight
Maou Sadao
Nicholas D. Wolfwood
Sakura Matou
Shiki Ryougi
Sugar Cream
Tsuruya
Sit back and relax until the final round, when your input will be needed one last time.]

CONFESSION CAM ROUNDUP
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!
DAY 3
[A frog wearing a colorful hat appears on the screen. He's being held up by a pair of hands who are swaying him back and forth like he's dancing. Meanwhile, Greg is singing a song for him.]
Everyone come and stay a while, in the land where our hats our fancy. You can watch us while we solve the trial, and then our froggy dancing. Oh, far away! You're waiting there back home! Watching us on our own! So believe in us, because we're missing you, but we can do it too! Ta-da!
[And now he's backing away, so you can clearly see Greg holding the frog.]
Hi, guys! Hi, Ema! Sorry you got voted out! But don't worry because I'm on the case and I'm going to work really hard to get you your wish, Ema! And I'm sorry I told a fib that you told me that stuff about Wolfwood and Dororo, but that was all part of the plan.
Okay, bye!
DAY 4
[Once again, it's Greg in front of the camera, carrying his frog on his lap.]
This is harder than I thought! Sorry...we wanted to vote out Kanade because we thought she was a spy, but then we weren't sure because it could be Kaito, too. And now I don't know who's a spy! I thought we could trust Robin, but everybody else says she's definitely a spy.
We'll send you guys a spy tomorrow, okay?
DAY 5
So they got Kaito... I should feel worried about that, but it's not like we really need a detective any more, right? All the special roles are pretty much toast...
And, I mean, even if I lose, Kanade still has a pretty good shot, so that's something. I just want one of us to win, I don't really care which one it is, since we're in this together.
Sorry, Kaito!
no subject
And then it hits him.]
NO WAIT, don't vote for him now!! GOD DAMN IT.
[Leorio throws a handful of popcorn at the screen. The lack of creeper clowns here is the Loser Lounge's one redeeming factor.]
