Week 4, Friday

[foundationmods]

Another Thursday night comes, and everyone seems to know what that means. Even with the failure of last week, several people are out on patrol, trying to make sure no murders occur tonight. That motive had been tempting, after all, and keeping people in check when there's the promise of 'going home' on the line is difficult at best.

Moriarty, at least, seems intent on taking advantage of that motive. After slipping out of his room, he walks briskly towards the back yard. His intended target is out there, he knows it, and he wants to get this done quickly before anyone notices he's missing. The stipulation of 'don't get caught' has made this week's motive all the harder to obtain, and he has no intentions of letting anyone get the best of him.

However, Oda is not alone this week. Several people have decided to patrol with him, making for many witnesses to any possible crime. A fact that Moriarty sees instantly as soon as he steps outside.

For a moment, Oda and Moriarty's eyes meet. Oda frowns, because he can figure out exactly what Moriarty is doing out and about at this hour. But he can't say anything, not with the people around him. The goal is to avoid deaths, after all, and speaking up now will just result in Moriarty's death instead of his own. And since Oda won't attack with other people right there to get caught in a firefight and possibly die, he does nothing against this obvious threat.

Karen looks over the edge and sees Moriarty too. In turn, Moriarty smiles and waves up at the group, acting as if nothing bad had been about to happen. Karen waves in return, suspecting nothing. The exchange just makes Oda's frown deepen, but he still says nothing.

Then, once that pleasant exchange is made, Moriarty ducks back inside, heading back to his room before anyone can miss him.

The night passes with no deaths.

A THING

[foundationmods]

[At noon, six eggs, six boxes of 250 toothpicks, and six hot glue guns can be found on the table in the living room, along with this note:]

Design an egg contraption that keeps your egg from breaking when dropped from the roof, and your team wins a prize.

Azura can join one of the other teams if she doesn't want to work alone.

[dereban]

[ sees this ]

. . . What is this, American high school?

[odasaku]

This is what you do in high school?

[ guess who doesn’t have a formal education! ]

[dereban]

In America, so I've heard.

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[Saki is... tired. She ended up dozing off on the roof sometime after Moriarty popped by and promptly went to bed later when it seemed the danger had passed. Besides that, she's been subdued ever since the pool party, too.

So uh

Enjoy having a pretty much useless teammate, blue team. She's just kind of staring blankly at the toothpicks.]

[dereban]

[ pats her head ]

It's okay, you can take a nap if you want to, Saki. This is really easy, we just need the proper materials.

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[At that, Saki just sighs, folding her arms and resting her head on them.]

Sorry... I'm really not used to staying up so late.

[odasaku]

[ he’ll hand her a cup of coffee. it warm. ]

Thanks for yesterday. Try to take it easy today.

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[She'll cradle the cup between her hands, looking up at him. She may be sleepy, but she can still be unimpressed.]

You didn't really stick to that promise, did you? [A sip, and then a pause to swallow.] Or maybe you never really agreed to it in the first place.

[Deciding to try to go out on his own like that.]

[darkremnants]

[ Puts a toothpick in her hair. ]

Orange team.

[darkremnants]

[ Just going to start making a box for the egg. ]

Nothing like crafts to start the day.

[houndumb]

[Nora was up late so he isn't paying attention and nodding off but he ALSO appears to be making a box. Great minds...?]

Bleh, another stupid game... Can I just take the egg off the roof and eat it...

[Technically it'd be off the roof and he's technically an egg contraption if he literally eats it so...]

Orange Team Submission

[darkremnants]

[ They made a cube to house the egg, then added another cube on the outside, then added spikes and glue to make spikes that stick out to take the damage of the fall. They added a rope made from super glue to lower it down as well. ]

cyan team

[odasaku]

[ oda looks rather tired, even for someone that’s used to the occasional all nighter.

still, he’ll look at the toothpicks and then the eggs, looking a little confused. ]

Are these the only things we can use?

[duskhound]

It... seems like it?

[This is not something she has experience with at all.]

Cyan team submission

[duskhound]

[It's... a box made of toothpicks. Each "side" is made up of 20 or so toothpicks, except the "top", which is made from 10. Also an excessive amount of hot glue has been used on the "inside" walls and "floor" of the box and then left to cool to create a "cushion" on all sides except the top.]

[darkova]

[Unless someone else on yellow stops him Ingway is gonna start making triangles filled with a "window pane" of glue.]

[prayerwheel]

[ .........she's joining yellow for this, to no one's surprise]

What are you doing with all that glue?

[hatesdeerstalkers]

[Honestly? Moriarty's just nodding at him. That's basically what he planned on doing, anyway.]

I see you have it well in hand.

Yellow submission!

[darkova]

[A little bit similar to purple teams creation, but smaller and more ball-ish, with the triangles filled with glue.

Also, the 'ball' also has little glue balls as packing peanuts to protect eggie]

Purple team

[failsaw]

[Giriko considers the toothpicks and glue guns and eggs and starts making some triangles. Lots of triangles. ]

[eldritcheyes]

Thinking of something like a... crap, what do they call those things... a buckyball? Maybe we can even use the toothpick box like a cradle, make a stretchy web of hot glue for it....

purple team submission

[failsaw]

[something like this with the egg held in place with the toothpick box and lots of stretchy hot glue webbing.]

also blue submission

[dereban]

[ so.

there is an egg in a ziplock bag surrounded with cereal and marshmallows.

it is also attached to string tied to both ends of a plastic bag that is upside down as a parachute.

and also the egg is covered in peanut butter. ]

[guileturncoat]

[He takes one look at the project, sees the peanut butter, and.]

Is this some kind of a threat?
