Then to be frank: yes. All the evidence for Tamaki's murder lines up with it having been done by Miss Beauregard, but she was unaware of it and, assuming the...vote counting system is correct, wasn't actually guilty.
I wonder if someone could have used their reward to have controlled her to do their bidding.
-you seem like a nice dude, okay, so I promise there is zero sarcasm or anything here. Two more questions for you: when did that guy die and when did you guys get those rewards?
[ this is me, lisa, wheezing at how my bigbrained murder theory got destroyed instantly by basic logistics ]
....ah.
Yes, I see the problem now.
[ this is deeply embarrassing for both me and vlad, but mostly vlad "i'm an extremely smart genius who's always playing 9d chess" masters. He takes a moment to recompose himself. ]
...Well, my question still stands. If not to solve the murder, then at least to be prepared for their use in the future.
[lisa i am so sorry to do this to your bigbrained theory.]
Mm... well, the answer is that I can't really give you one. Can't tell you what's out there ahead of time, y'know? You'll find out if something like that exists by running across it one way or another.
So you are purposely introducing danger and intrigue here to challenge us.
[ he says it accusatively at first, but then relaxes a little. ]
...well, I suppose if it's our greatest wishes at stake, then there has to be quite the challenge involved, doesn't it. Or else we haven't 'earned' it. Is that your thinking here?
You could think of it as something like an evaluation? It's not just about managing to indulge while you're here, it's about seeing what you're willing to do. How far you'd go to get what you really want.

[they shrug, but they at least sound apologetic.]
There wouldn't be any challenge if I just told you everything? But you're a smart guy, you'll be fine!

Well, let's see if this is something you can answer, at least--is Tamaki's killer one of us, the participants?
no subject
[they nod!]
We're not giving you, like, trick questions on that one.

[ unless they're lying. but, well. he doesn't have reason to think they are, just yet. just maddeningly vague. ]
And ah, I do have one more question, if you're willing to entertain it. Call it a matter of personal curiosity...
