Oh. An annoying and possibly precognitive child. So is this archipelago the Japanese equivalent of Maine?

Oh, so basically this meeting has been going on for several years but Battler hasn't been around to get dragged to it?

On night number nine, EVERYONE loving DIES. On night number ten you're in the clear!

Alchemy counselor. Huh. What an interesting position. I wonder if that gold is actually lead now.

It's pretty clear that we're not supposed to think anything is true at this point. Everybody's tossing out speculation left and right.

Huh. Four-pointed magic circle? That seems kind of low on the scale.

I wonder if you miss out on the Golden Land if you wind up being one of the sacrifices.

Makes me wonder - what if, like, everybody in this family had some kind of psychic power, but "Beatrice" was just a fiction created so they wouldn't realize it? All that paranoia running around the place would turn the mansion into a deathtrap. Except maybe for, like, Battler, which explains how all the deaths happened when he wasn't looking.

I half wonder if Shannon is going to get a variation on Kinzo's deal: you can try for something and it'll be a long shot, but if it's a long shot you have ~the power of magic~.

I don't know why I was expecting Jessica to go full punk rock right there. Maybe it was the Union Jack.

Black jacket, white shirt, red tie. So who's Player 2 here, her or Battler?
|
# ¿ Oct 26, 2016 02:39 |

Well, I will say this for Beatrice. She didn't kill Shannon on the second night. She made absolutely sure she couldn't.

Really, this seems like a diorama that had been prepared long in advance, unless the servants regularly check the chapel.

So, actual statement of intent, or lure to get Kanon to put his sister in Room 101? Really I could go either way.

There's only a problem here if you absolutely need the key to lock the door. I mean, the place is only visited every three months or so.

So if we can circle back to the epitaph for a little bit, what does it actually mean to be "chosen by the key"? I know the whole thing was called "the demon's roulette", but "chosen" implies there's something making a choice.

It's interesting that Genji doesn't even get eaten on-screen. Maybe he actually is some kind of goat-demon?

So if you say there are five master keys twice, does that mean there are actually ten master keys?

So for some reason I heard "Everything Stays" when last millennium's Beatrice started singing. Anyhow. Candy must be pretty convenient for a witch to practice on. Its destiny is always to get all crunched up and dissolved, and with the right audience you don't even have to hold it for a minute.

The tarot never even gets to 22, Kinzo. The hell are you talking about 24?

So... the family gold was protected by lacing it with psilocybin?
|
# ¿ Dec 26, 2016 03:42 |
|
So... Battler accepted that witches exist but refused to believe Beatrice was qualified to be one. I suppose that's one way out of that scenario.
|
# ¿ Dec 31, 2016 12:14 |

I wonder what the epilogue is even going to wind up being this time.
|

I'm kind of waiting for Kinzo to actually survive to the end of one of these, and then nobody actually knows what the gently caress to do with him.

So if Ange doesn't hit a rapid succession of construction nets, what happens to the money? Does it revert to the public trust, or move over to her mother's family?
|
# ¿ Jan 26, 2017 03:19 |
|
I do like how this theme of trust carries over into Ange. It's so tempting to trust other humans, isn't it?
|
# ¿ Jan 28, 2017 02:37 |
|
Huh. We haven't really seen this kind of thing from Maria before. I suppose it makes sense for Ange, who has never definitively observed how things were like.

Beatrice, are you planning to kill everyone with a lion? Are you planning to kill everyone with two lions?

So, literally every rich occult hobbyist in the world can't do as much to make witches real as a bored little girl.

So the only written records that survive are Beatrice's. Well, there definitely was a Beatrice who could have written things down and thrown them into the sea. Say, here's something interesting. This year, someone fished a message out of the ocean that had been drifting for over 100 years.

Lycaeon posted:So the lesson from this? Magic is real, because an imaginary friend murdered an entire island of assholes and made people around the world go crazy with speculation even over a decade later. I'm not sure to what degree it's been formally said and to what degree it's just been speculated, but isn't the state of things right now that magic can't be ruled out as a cause? There was an investigation into the events of Rokkenjima but it didn't reveal anything about what happened? And... Maria had to be identified with dental records? So there was probably some kind of, like, explosion or fire, and whether it was part of a witch's bacchanal or an actual murder method it left things in a state that Team Witch can go all, oh, this person was staked in the head! No, they had their guts pulled out! Oh, this person died in a locked room! No, they were killed somewhere else! And a message in a bottle written by someone who isn't even Maria is now the most reliable source on what went on, at least to all the rich occult maniacs out there.
