Re: M&P: Hospital of Murders

[Snickie]

The mountain sector is awfully rocky.... -points at Atlas- You're very compassionate. And it's totally not suspicious that you noticed/pointed out the clues leading to her murder before the rest of us.

JueJue seemed awfully irritated that she had to see more patients. Plus, she was the one who set up the breathing tube. Unless Dr. J supervised her while she inserted it, she would be the only one who would know -points at JueJue-

Shadows is only really mentioned once, being the nurse and again when they're cowering for their lives under the collapsing building. And the room was plunged into darkness when the earthquake happened. Plus, she's a former desert sector member, and the desert sector is awfully sandy. -points at Shadows, Soul, and a mirror-

The same goes for Cats, except for the sector part. Other than the desert sector thing, their profiles are too much the same, so I can't choose either of them to vote for.

Dr. J is the one who sedated her. Maybe he put too much anesthesia in the IV bag in a lethal-injection type scenario. We could also blame Kay because she's the one who's supposed to be operating on Kelly.

What is Cya doing in this hospital? If there's a skeleton crew working in the hospital like Soul said, and Cya was there for a meeting, then where are all the other doctors Cya was meeting with? Who's lying in this case? Given the general rarity of the host being the murderer, I'm less inclined to say Cya, but at the same time, WHAT IS SHE DOING THERE? Where are all of the other doctors from this mysterious meeting?

I don't know about the situations of any of the other people in it yet to say anything about them. All I can say is whoever cut me and made me bleed and ruin my shirt is going to GET IT when all of this is over if I've survived.


Can I also just mention that they weren't necessarily rocks that were falling? It was crumbling cement shaped like rocks and sand. And why is the ceiling made of cement? Aren't ceilings used made of plaster or something?

[Soul Jelly]

As usual I'm just going to sit back and listen to Snickie's analyses 'cause they're better than anything I could have come up with XD

So, uh... props on the interesting setting and great writing, Cya! Looking forward to seeing how this goes

Oh and I'll just leave this here:

Spoiler:

[Atlas]

I like how Snickie's analysis is so well formatted and thought out....

...and then forgets we have a player called "VGCats_Rocks" in the room.

.....just pointing that out there.......

[VGCats_Rocks]

...and then forgets we have a player called "VGCats_Rocks" in the room.

...What are you implying here?

[Atlas]

I'm implying that if you don't tell us how you dug the hole and why you killed Kelly then I'm gonna jump from my cozy little place in the hospital and suplex you off the fifth story balcony.

TELL ME HOW YOU DUG THE HOLE!

[Snickie]

...and then forgets we have a player called "VGCats_Rocks" in the room.

...What are you implying here?

[VGCats_Rocks]

First, I read the thing and saw no mention of any damn hole! Second, you have no evidence that I'm the murderer!

...and then forgets we have a player called "VGCats_Rocks" in the room.

...What are you implying here?

...purely that is coincidental. Besides, I'm fair and I'd rather give the role to someone else.

[Stella Luce 333]

I think the hole is in the ceiling, not the floor…

[juejue]

JueJue seemed awfully irritated that she had to see more patients. Plus, she was the one who set up the breathing tube. Unless Dr. J supervised her while she inserted it, she would be the only one who would know -points at JueJue-

Hey. Hey now. Don't make any assumptions. Don't forget, I'm just an intern. I don't think I would go as far as killing someone just because I was annoyed with all the patients...

[cya6]

Don't forget to vote, guys!

Even if you don't really know who to vote for, always cast a vote! Otherwise the murderer is to only who votes!

Voting ends tomorrow, and I want your votes!

[Atlas]

Hmmm...... Snickie has a point.

Perhaps this was no accident jue jue -.-



Maybe this is all one giant conspiracy and the only solution is I kill everyone else.

[Snickie]

JueJue seemed awfully irritated that she had to see more patients. Plus, she was the one who set up the breathing tube. Unless Dr. J supervised her while she inserted it, she would be the only one who would know -points at JueJue-

Clearly you have never seen "Like a Surgeon" by Weird Al Yankovic. :3

[cya6]

3 hours til voting closes!!!!!

please, even if you have no idea, please vote!

[cya6]

Voting is closed.

Update ASAP.

[Koneko on lyoko]

;-; missed the voting.
Anyway, all I got from that was that Atlas looked amused when Soul was looking around after Kelly had been taken out and he was the one to notice that it hadn't been an accident.
Also head surgeon, I like it :3 but yes, I'll actually post at a useful time next time.

[Snickie]

Everything Atlas did seemed like a bunch of red herrings to me, like last time, so I didn't vote for him this time. I dunno, though. We'll see as it goes on.

[Atlas]

I wonder how many rounds I'll survive because people keep thinking "There's no way he would make it that obvious."

Anyway, here's hoping the person I voted for gets the axe.

The die has been cast, the players have made up their minds. Let’s see if they were right…



Kay straightened up from examining the rock.

“Atlas is right,” she said. “This was no accident. I’m going to have to call a code green. That’ll lock down the ER ward until a time that authorities can arrive.”

She headed out.

Dr. J was pacing. “I don’t understand who could’ve done this! Or why! Who would kill one of the patients?”

Stella, who had been in a sort of shock since she saw Kelly, seemed to snap out of it. “How about a doctor who’s unit is running on a skeleton crew and doesn’t want to have to deal with them!” She snapped.

JueJue took this to be directed at her. “If I didn’t want to work here, I’d quit. I wouldn’t kill a patient! Why the hell would I take advantage of an earthquake to kill someone?!”

Snickie’s eyes narrowed. “You know, she didn’t necessarily say she was talking to you,” she said, addressing the intern.

“This isn’t helping,” Shadows said, firmly. “All of you, go back to the waiting room. We’ll sort things out in here, then call you in to treat your injuries. Then we’ll wait for the authorities to arrive and they’ll decide who’s to blame. I’m going to assess the damage in the other rooms, and find out which is most usable.” She left the room.

Snickie opened her mouth to protest, but then closed it.

“Soul,” Cats said. “Would you mind escorting the patients to the waiting room.”

Cya watched as the Atlas, Stella, and Snickie left. “What about me? I’m really not supposed to be in the ER, but if you guys are running on low, I can help…”

JueJue looked at the psychiatrist. “As much as we’d appreciate it, we really could use more people to keep an eye on the patients, to make sure no one else is hurt.”

Cya nodded, and reluctantly backed out.

The remaining three waited for Shadows’ return.

“Alright,” she said, coming in. “Room 243 and 245 are in the best shape, so I’ll need everyone to help out cleaning it.”

They had all just left the room when JueJue remembered Kelly.

She whipped around, only to find the OR empty.

“Um hey guys? Where’d she go…”

JueJue trailed off, to find that the others had already entered the other rooms.

Rather than stay and be incriminated, she hurried on. They probably find her when they found out who had killed her.

When JueJue entered the room, she found Shadows and Dr J working to fix up what they could, so they could take care of the remaining three patients.

“Where’s Cats?” She asked.

Shadows looked over her shoulder. “I- Wasn’t he behind us?”

JueJue heart raced. “He was behind you, but in front of me. I didn’t pass him in the hall…”

“We don’t have time for this. It’s not our place to try and find out who did this, we have to just keep working until things are sorted out.”

Back in the waiting room, Kay and Soul were trying to activate a code green. They’d gotten half of it done, the ER had been put into lockdown. But the wires leading out of the ER had been broken after the earthquake, and so the signal to the authorities wasn’t sending.

“Are you sure it won’t send?” Kay asked the secretary again.

“Positive,” Soul said, hitting a few buttons on her computer. “It just won’t work.”

Kay glanced over at the four others in the waiting room.

Snickie and Stella were talking quietly to each other, not trusting any of the doctors.

Atlas was flipping, bored, through a magazine.

Cya was pacing.

Kay gave a long, irritated sigh. “Well, keep trying. Otherwise we’ve just as good as locked ourselves in here with the murderer.”

Stella locked up, sharply at this. “Are you serious? We’re trapped in here?”

“Don’t worry, don’t worry,” Soul said. “We’ll sort this out. You guys stay here, we’ll make sure no one gets hurt.” She stood up. “I’m going to go see if the others have managed to clear up the treatment rooms yet.”

Kay watched the patients, scanning for unusual behavior. Mentally she made a list of suspects, but she didn’t say anything, unless she ended up getting suspicion. Or worse, attract the murderer’s eye…

Soul came back. “Alright, Snickie, they’re gonna see you first. Then Stella. Then Atlas.”

Atlas frowned. “What, I get seen last because-”

“Because you won’t tell us what’s wrong, yes,” Soul finished.

Snickie got up and followed Soul into the treatment room.

“Can you stay here?” The young prodigy whispered to Soul. “I don’t trust the doctors…”

Soul glanced back. “Alright,” she said.



An hour later, they had Snickie all stitched up and evaluated. “Change those bandages every day before you go to bed. And come back if it irritates you,” JueJue told Snickie, who seemed to be in a better mood now that she was no longer bleeding all over her clothes.

Shadows walked in. “I’ll clean up here, then you can see Stella. Why don’t you two go have some lunch. Better to see patients on a full stomach.”

The two doctors exchanged glances, before shrugging and heading off to the staff room.

“What a day,” JueJue exclaimed, pulling out her meal. “I mean, it’s bad enough that the other intern called in sick, the resident is on vacation, and the other doctor is also sick. And now a murderer… And everyone just acts like things are normal!”

She glanced over to see that Dr. J wasn’t eating anything.

“Hey, didn’t bring a lunch?”

He looked up. “No, I was planning on buying something.”

JueJue glanced down at her empty plate. “I’m sure there’s something in here,” she said, opening the fridge. It was nearly empty, except for a water bottle, and two slices of sponge cake.

“This is all we’ve got,” she said, smiling ruefully. “Cake for lunch? Sounds like any kid’s dream. Someone bought a bunch yesterday, cause the cafeteria was giving them away. One of the doctors, who had a thing for Victorian Sponge cake, bought, like, ten slices.”

Dr. J cut into his, while JueJue rinsed off her fork. She was about to bite into her slice when she heard a choking sound.

She glanced up to see Dr. J choking.

How do you choke on sponge cake? She wondered to herself.

Just then Kay walked in. “The room is ready, whenever you two are-”

She cut off, noticing Dr. J. She rushed to his side. “Why didn’t you do anything!?” She yelled at the bewildered intern.

“I didn’t-what’s wrong?”

“He’s been poisoned!”

Kay tried to get him to spit out the poisoned cake, but he didn’t respond.

JueJue was at his side in an instant. “What happened, what’s wrong?” She repeated.

Kay stared as the doctor fell limp on the floor.

“He’s dead, that’s what’s wrong.”

There was a stunned silence.

Kay slowly looked up at JueJue, an accusatory look in her eyes.

“It wasn’t me!” JueJue shrieked, throwing her hands up. “I just gave him a piece, and he died!”

Her voice called the others in, who lurked at the doorway, no one wanting to come in.

Finally Stella stepped in, slowly. “I-I guess whoever this murderer is, they’re targeting the staff too.”

Everyone was quiet.

Then Cya spoke up. “Have you had any luck alerting the authorities?”

Soul shook her head, slowly. “No. We’re trapped in here, and I can’t get a signal out of the hospital. I’m sorry, I’ve tried.”

“Can anyone else try?” Atlas asked.

Shadows shook her head. “I don’t think anyone else would know how. Soul’s the secretary, she knows the commands better than anyone.”

There was silence in the room.

“Maybe we should look around the room for some kind of hint as to who’s responsible,” Stella ventured.

Snickie nodded. “Good plan. If the police are going to be no help, we’ve got to do what we can.”

They all set about the room, combing through trashcans and cupboards.

JueJue was sitting, staring at Dr. J. She was a doctor. And he had died right in front of her eyes. Could she have done something to help him?

Then she looked closer at his plate. On top of both slices of cake (both hers and his) there was a thin layer of some kind of glaze over it. At least, that’s what it looked like. It was brown, with bits of white and orange.

She had originally just thought it was a glaze for the cake, but now, as she examined it, she realized it couldn’t be.

“Hey guys, look at this,” she said.

As the others gathered round to look at what JueJue had found, Soul’s eyes wandered to a corner of something white poking out from under the slice of cake.

“What’s that,” she mused quietly.

The others’ eyes followed, and slowly Shadows pulled out the slip of paper.

It said:

“(Insert cryptic threat here)”

[Koneko on lyoko]

Something clicked(though I'm sure it's already been said xD) after reading through the last one again, it was a rock and an earth quake. I'm thinking maybe that's related to the mountain or dessert sectors?

Jue seems really suspicious to me, but it also seems like an obvious kind of suspicious(like Atlas), she was really defensive when Stella mentioned about why the murderer could be killing the patients(though it's the staff now too) and she was the one with DrJ.

One if the doctors must have a sweet tooth or possibly a patient who went in because they were hungry :L Victoria sponge cake is British, but it's also the basis for cakes made in many other countries too. I think this is more about someone who really likes sweet things.

Dr Kay is playing detective, so I guess she better watch out -.-

[cya6]

Oops, forgot to say, voting ends Sunday at 8 PM EST!

[Snickie]

Those who are left:
Kay
Cya
Snickie
Stella
Atlas
Shadows
Soul
JueJue

Kay - Heh heh heh, she's playing detective. Why is she making a list of suspects in her head? So she knows who to kill off next? Plus, she's British, so she could've been the one who bought the sponge cake to poison people with.

---

JueJue - awfully defensive when Stella makes the statement about the doctors being on the skeleton crew. Plus she was in the room with Dr. J when he was murdered.

---

Soul - She seems to be the only person who has consistent contact between the doctors and the patients, which puts her at suspicion since one of each has been murdered now. Plus, she's the one who keeps insisting that the signal to contact the authorities isn't working. Is she the one who caused Kelly to have an asthma attack in the first place? Is she the one who bought and poisoned the (British) sponge cake Dr. J was eating? It also makes sense, though, that she would go in with me when I was getting my injuries stitched and NOT kill anybody in there because there were way too many witnesses. It also explains why none of the patients were murdered in the HOUR that I was being stitched up. And again, the cement sand and rocks coming down from the ceiling during the earthquake before seems to point towards desert sector, and I still don't see how I could've done it, plus the desert sector is the only sector on Lyoko that we've seen have an earthquake, in season 1. Also:

Soul shook her head, slowly. "No. We're trapped in here, and I can't get a signal out of the hospital. I'm sorry, I've tried."
"Can anyone else try?" Atlas asked.
Shadows shook her head. "I don't think anyone else would know how. Soul's the secretary, she knows the commands better than anyone."

Soul should know how to fix this if she does know the commands better than anyone. This could also be a good explanation as to why nobody else bothered to try. What if she was just pretending to try to contact the authorities, or blocked communications herself?

---

Cya - I still think her being there is a bit...out there. What meeting? What could she do to help in the emergency room if she's a psychiatrist? (Granted, it doesn't say she's specifically a psychiatrist, only that she works at a psychiatric hospital. But still.) Also, the poisoning seems something very Cya-like to do (though of course she's writing this, too, and it's the murderer who chose to use poison).

---

Me - Okay, why am I still at the hospital after being stitched up? REALLY. Unless code green meant that even the waiting room was on complete lockdown.

---

Atlas - I still don't really have anything on him.

---

Shadows - I guess she's possible, but I don't really suspect her right now, even though she was a former desert sector leader.

---

One if the doctors must have a sweet tooth or possibly a patient who went in because they were hungry :L Victoria sponge cake is British, but it's also the basis for cakes made in many other countries too. I think this is more about someone who really likes sweet things.

As I saw on a paleo-diet website earlier:
"If there was a cookie in that cave, you can bet the Neanderthal would've eaten it. So therefore cookies are paleo."
Basically I think anybody would eat a cookie if they could.
But you could be right, though I'm a bit more inclined to think the British thing (mostly because Soul has the longest list of things running against her atm). Plus, if you were the murderer, you would try to direct that away from yourself as well. You just rose a spot on my suspect list.

;-; here I am trying to be helpful and now I'm a suspect, I feel so loved xD Nonetheless I was simply giving various ways of viewing the matter, but I suppose you could be right about Soul however, your point on Cya sticks out to me. She's just visiting the hospital, and it's seems like quite a coincidence that the one time she is at the hospital, people start dying and then there's the poison thing.

(though of course she's writing this, too, and it's the murderer who chose to use poison).

The host can be the murderer, if they want to and if they're an impatient type of person who doesn't want to wait for another person to give them the information than choosing themselves would work.

[Snickie]

I didn't say that the host WASN'T the murderer in this case.

[VGCats_Rocks]

I TOLD YOU!

Now that that's done, I'll no longer be here.
~woosh awayyyyyy~

[Atlas]

Atlas - I still don't really have anything on him.

THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.
