Definitely something to look into. I already thought that whole interaction seemed suspicious—now that Coder is almost certainly elim, it looks pretty damning. 

Ngl I’m still eyeing you as their potential third but I’mma have to take a good look at it

The rain was pattering out as X and Y trudged through the Reshi jungle, the moonlight casting shadows upon their steps.

The pair had stuck together ever since their arrival on the island. The sole exception was when night fell; Y tended to spend that time in isolation, lighting the faintest candle to flip through the pages of the journal he had brought. Words written by a man who had walked this jungle, survived these beasts, yet never left these waters. In them, Y thought he could discern the voice of his father.

Last night was different. An instinct - a nag - had begun to pull at Y ever since they had disembarked on these shores. Something had changed in X's demeanor; hardly noticeable, yet obvious to one who spent every day around him. And so, last night, using the key he had taken from the cargo hold - the ranking of Officer that Pladel had given him in secret, without more explanation than a "feeling" - he had broken into the captain's quarters, taken an Alerter Fabrial, and placed it on the experienced sailor. And from there, watched the murder unfold.

Now, witness and killer walked together up towards the Greatshell's Head. They had stayed behind as the others proceeded yesterday, and so while some had already begun to attempt the ascent, they still had space to cover to catch up. It also meant they were alone.

Y's heart almost banged out of his chest as he fingered the tiny dagger hidden in the hem of his tunic. It was hardly a knife; more a sharpened stone. It would do. Y stopped walking. Took a deep breath to still himself. And in one deft movement, threw himself at the figure in front of him. They fell together to the wet ground, sloshing and rolling in the mud. Y came out on top, panting as he pressed the sharpened stone to X's neck.

"Tell me," he growled, low and guttural. Desperate. "Where is he? Where is Evinir Cragborn?"

@CoderDrag0n8

No, all I know for sure was that he targeted Illwei

Something he wouldn't lie about as a villager

Captain ain't a role pal

Chat there is no argument to be made here

Coder did kill Illwei

I have no reason to lie as an elim here. That is not a sacrifice worth making.

wait whos Evinir

Is that illwei canonically

X turned to Y, hurt in his eyes. "Y... I thought we were friends? So then why... Why would you accuse me? Evinir was a friend, an ally. I wouldn't kill Evinir. I wouldn't kill someone. Y, you have to believe me. I am not a murderer."

X tried to convince Y. But X really trying to convince Y? Or himself?

"Y... We've always been friends. We've been through hell and back together. Don't do this. Please."

I highly agree with Mint here and was gonna suggest myself that we look into the implications of e!Coder, good job Mint remembering that about TUC cause I probably wouldn’t

This place really has seemed quiet since Illwei’s death and we need to keep it alive

There’s literally no way I’m wrong

@CoderDrag0n8 are you gonna get in here to RP with me or what?

Ok geez gimme a minute i've been away all day

The fury in Y’s eyes gave way to… confusion. His grip on the knife loosened slightly as his head spun.

”You… killed Cragborn?”

I'm confused

So in this RP scenario, I killed Cragborn? Just like, checking.

"NO! Please, Y, you have to believe me. It's not my fault. It wasn't me... IT WASN'T ME!"

[Hoid Slayer He/Him]

…

Also guys @everyone the elims are gonna probably NK me tonight and I don’t want that so uhh if you can save me thank you

And again everyone use your Favour tonight if you can

It’ll get easier next cycle

We just need to bear through this

I’ll try and make a longer message before rollover (I 100% should be able to) but if they get rid of me, please, please please do not stop yapping

I’m worried that with Myst and Illwei both gone, and then me too, the elims could win control of this thread fairly easily and then this exe will be for nothing

You 100% did not kill Evinir Cragborn

Tbh, X probably has no idea who he even is

Y’s grip loosened once more, now fully befuddled.

”Someone… else killed Cragborn?”

Uhh just say you don’t know who he is we can work this out

[Mint11 she/her]

I feel like I'm reading an RP story and a real life story at the same time with this cragborn mystery

[Hoid Slayer He/Him]

Evinir Cragborn is a character of mine who Y is hunting

I RPed a future version of him in the PseudoCycle of the last game, actually
