[Tom]

> Look around to the others.
> "Everyone else is seeing this, right? It's not just me?"

> Everyone nods and the ghost lady returns to the table
> She shrugs "It's not like the card I picked earlier shows anything either"

> That statent seems to have piqued the librarian's interest "May we see what you mean?"
> She floats the card she showed you previously in her other hand, it too remaining blank...

[Kilgamayan]

> "...This may be a silly question, but...have you tried actually physically touching them?"

[Tom]

> "...This may be a silly question, but...have you tried actually physically touching them?"

> She smirks "This may also be a silly question but... have you tried actually physically touching a ghost?"

[Kilgamayan]

> "So you're saying you can't touch them?"

[Tom]

> "So you're saying you can't touch them?"

> "Ghosts can't touch anything silly"

[Kilgamayan]

> Can we see that both sides of both of Mima's cards are blank?

[Tom]

> Can we see that both sides of both of Mima's cards are blank?

> It's slowly rotating around itself over her palm so yes

[Kilgamayan]

> "Then how do you know that first card you had is yours?"

[Tom]

> "Then how do you know that first card you had is yours?"

> She laughs "I don't~!"
> The ghost explains "Everyone else got one though, so why not take one too?"

[Kilgamayan]

> "The one you just took from the table, then...would you mind dropping it to the ground?"

[Tom]

> "The one you just took from the table, then...would you mind dropping it to the ground?"

> She lets the card fall to the ground, it remains blank like it was before

[Kilgamayan]

> Wonder aloud to no one in particular.
> "...Why is it not going off...?"

[Tom]

> Wonder aloud to no one in particular.
> "...Why is it not going off...?"

> Patchouli comments "My theory is that the doesn't recognize telekinesis so as far it's concerned it hasn't been held by someone other than it's owner"

[Kilgamayan]

> "...I guess that would make it impossible for someone who can't touch the cards to activate the security mechanism, which would in turn mean they couldn't have used this card to light the explosives."

[Tom]

> "...I guess that would make it impossible for someone who can't touch the cards to activate the security mechanism, which would in turn mean they couldn't have used this card to light the explosives."

> Patchouli shakes her head "Not so fast, we're not letting her off the hook just yet..."
> Shinmyoumaru agrees "Indeed!  What's preventing her from just tapping the card on someone else to activate it?"
> Sakuya adds "Or setting it on a ledge so as to fall with the slightest disturbance by someone nearby?"
> Patchouli continues "Tenshi... Do you remember seeing a card lying ontop of the donation box?"
> Tenshi raises her hands "I don't, I was too busy carrying a tray full of food to care about some dumb box"

> Tenshi raises her hands "I don't, I was too busy carrying a tray full of food to care about some dumb box"

> Try to recall : around that moment or reasonably close by ,did we see for ourselves a card lying on top of the donation box or someone besides Tenshi quite close to it or on the way to be ?

> Same General Appeal to the present ones and if they have noticed someone else of the absent ones nearby the Donation Box around that Specific Time , except for Tenshi in both cases.

[Tom]

> Try to recall : around that moment or reasonably close by ,did we see for ourselves a card lying on top of the donation box or someone besides Tenshi quite close to it or on the way to be ?

> You do not remember, your attention wasn't on the box

> Same General Appeal to the present ones and if they have noticed someone else of the absent ones nearby the Donation Box around that Specific Time , except for Tenshi in both cases.

> You ask if anyone saw someone approach the box at the time however everyone's attention was elsewhere until after the fact.

> How close is it to morning?

> "Well then, it seems we are at a stalemate."

[Tom]

> How close is it to morning?

> The stars are beginning to fade and the sky is slowly becoming opaque.  There is however no trace of the sun yet fortunately...

> "Well then, it seems we are at a stalemate."

> Patchouli waves "I would disagree...  While it would seem that the ghost couldn't have activated the card's security mechanism the Inchling Princess has pointed out that she merely had to tap the card on someone else before throwing it into the box or set it up so that it would be disturbed easily."
> Alice, still examining the dismantled doll parts nods in agreement

// Nothing happened since to my understanding no actions were being taken.
// Great summary by the way!

// Thank you;. this is meant also as a. sort-of summary but mostly as an useful explaining analysis open to cross-checking  about" the many evidences and linked  hinting  suspcions of the Mystery Culprit ( Mima ) tied-in with the Mastermind ( " Iris ") "... //

//... {to the other players) ultimately, and considering the "close deadline", do we proceed in pointing out these evidences against Mima, and leading to her "extermination", or are there observations to make or cross-checking? //

//... {to the other players) ultimately, and considering the "close deadline", do we proceed in pointing out these evidences against Mima, and leading to her "extermination", or are there observations to make or cross-checking?

// I can't see how much further this can go if I engage, so I would go with the "evidence against Mina" route. However, I want to wait until other players have a say in this.

[Tom]

// I can't see how much further this can go if I engage, so I would go with the "evidence against Mina" route. However, I want to wait until other players have a say in this.

// I didn't intend for this to become a big choice that stalls the game indefinitely... Maybe we'll have to change it so a choice will be made automatically based on a dice roll if more thana week passes and players are indecisive

[OkuuFallout]

// I didn't intend for this to become a big choice that stalls the game indefinitely... Maybe we'll have to change it so a choice will be made automatically based on a dice roll if more thana week passes and players are indecisive

//Sounds good to me.

I'll try to have another look tomorrow if I can get the time. I stopped posting because I was completely stumped; maybe another look this much later will be different.

// YES  and UNDERSTANDING but any human MotK user is still always welcome , meant in the scenario (although better explanations ,insights ,simplicity are possible ) of the fair, goo, correct sake and sakes that is the case ,  to post and/or suggest and/or hint and or ask out and/or PM ( Private Message ) and/or possibly read again & review //

In case of Rolling Dice ,ven though the "choice decisiveness is lowered but not thewaiting consensus " ,kindly,take duly note  that 2 Players have already confirmed +  1  Main Player  is a somehow Busy so far for Rp-Cyoa Reply is Not Opposed to Confirm and Has Stated Already The Overviewing ...

//....(nertheless and especially and Please take in consideration the Rp-Cyoa  Setting + Activity of PlayerS + Their Sharing with you the Parser GM Mystery-Investigative-Adventure-Touhou in FullOpen Reply  Version in MotK Shrinemaiden.com.. as far ,as  known,rightly due
ere,the .Net,Real Complete Tea Life Rp-Cyoais )...

// So kindly and duly take in Consideration in the  Variabilie of Roll that the Founding Decision is Founding and Hedged , and can still be "improved and cross-evolved in the Story Thread Crossings ,by at least ,as happened almost entirely with Kilgamayan and NPC SUPPORTERS such as Shinmyonmaru,Patchouli, partly Mokou and Alice and Reimu...)//.

//...CONCLUDING the FOUNDING HEDGED PART is still
IRIS Doll(s) (Medium in Hakurei  isThe Temptator, Main Presence in Mastermind and Instigator and ' Untrust Monger  ' whereas Mima is Quite Comparatively Secondary BUT YET Actively Involved and Active Presence "
