"Yo-ho-ho! Our intuition finally proved us ta be right fer a change, an' we managed ta take down another one o' Sir Yux's spies! Now it be a matter o' keepin' on high alert o'er the course o' this next night, then try an' unmask the remainder o' the spies Sir Yux 'as dispatched by the time the...
"Yar, that do make the most sense. Dunno 'ow it's s'posed ta 'elp us at this stage in the game, but anythin' that could be o' use is worth jottin' down fer further examination. After all, I ain't one ta look a gift Yoshi in the mouth."
"Argh, surgin' stowaways in a souped up shipyard, I ain't becomin' any the wiser from any o' this information...Anybody else still alive who can make any sense outta this?"
"Yargh, try all ye like, but ye ain't swayin' me decision this time, ye misleading moth! May Davy Jones' Locker 'ave mercy on ye, 'cause I certainly won't!"
"Nargh, it's really come down ta all or nothin', 'asn't it? Well, seein' as Agent F 'as fallen in the line o' duty, the least I can do is honor one o' the last requests she made ta write a message ta 'er employers ta let 'em know what happened...In the meantime though, I'm goin' ta Vote: Hooded...
"Yar, I somehow doubt the Violet-Eyed Girl would bother tryin' ta save 'er own skin 'ere an' now. From the moment the 'ole investigation kicked off, 'er priorities 'ave been elsewhere, an' they are most definitely elsewhere now that she's close to bein' hung out ta dry, both figuratively an'...
"Argh, based on me observance on everythin' the majority o' the remainin' investigators 'ave brought ta the table, it seems that the moth (Pitohui) an' the Violet-Eyed Girl (Cosmic Cowboy) be our prime suspects fer this fifth day o' the investigation. Call me a sheep once again fer actin' upon...
Perhaps the Fancy Phantom could take a deep dive into the history behind Kremkroc Industries, Inc. and the horrible pollution they brought upon Donkey Kong Island during the mid-1990s?
"Yar, the innocents' numbers really be dwindlin' now, so it really be of importance that we manage ta unmask another one o' the enemies within t'day. B'fore I cast me votes as per the curse that silly demon put on Mr. Goomberto, I shall wait fer the remainin' investigators who survived the night...
"Aye, I'll say. The most useless Investigator o' the whole bunch 'ad the most useful ability o' them all. The irony be stunnin'. There be no use in dwellin' on that now, though. We gotta keep movin' ahead if we wanna get 'nother step ahead o' the spies Sir Yux dispatched out here in Rogueport."
"Argh, so I finally managed to sharpen me wits enough ta the point I be capable o' properly producin' food fer thought on this fourth day o' the witch hunt fer Sir Yux's spies. Anyhoo, bear with me as I try ta share me thoughts at the current moment without regurgitatin' what's already been...
"Yargh, glad ta see e'eryone made it through ta see 'nother day! Not so glad ta see that I was silenced by Mr. Sholmés the other night, though given the votin' system on this particular day, it don't seem ta matter all that much. Plus, as Mr. Sholmés stated 'imself, this be a good opportunity...
"Argh, argh, argh, argh, argh! Well done ta all o' ye who managed ta unmask that scurvy dog! Like Mr. Goomberto said, if we keep things up like this, we might 'ave Sir Yux's Guernsey Goomba's taken care of faster than Harry Hedgehog at a slug eatin' contest!"
"Aye, Agent F be right as rain 'ere! Mafia games like this are ta be taken seriously as far as observation an' communication be concerned! Ye can't just turn up when ye 'appen ta be pinged by someone, give a bland response merely a paragraph long an' then call it a day! If ye weren't gonna take...
"Maybe, but if it be fer the survival o' the greater good in this world, then it be a risk I'll 'ave ta take, Xzzwls. Seein' as the moth 'umbled yer request by withdrawin' her vote t'wards ye since ye 'umbled her request o' lettin' actions speak louder than words, the vote tally be currently in...
"Aye, me name be ClawgripFan9001, though ClawgripFan or just Clawgrip work just as easily fer me. Either way, just as the moth said, just because ye did what she asked ye ta do don't mean yer gonna be let off the hook. Ye still be showin' visible an' audible signs o' bein' incredibly suspicious...
"Aye, because ye began ta get a bit quivery in yer boots after that accusation the moth pointed at ye, like I said earlier. That seemed 'ighly unusual fer 'ow usually calm ye've been throughout the investigation so far, so that's why I be castin' me vote t'wards ya fer the time bein'."
"Argh, I can't argue with anythin' ye just said there, sir. Same thing goes fer what Agent F said earlier t'day. Which be reasonable enough fer me ta unvote ye an' spare ye from the gallows. 'Least, 'till there be reason fer me ta decide otherwise."
"Xzzwls, on the other 'and, be startin' ta...
"Argh, by me great-uncle's glasses! They murdered the poor kitsune boy! These enemies within really 'ave no chill, do they?! We really need ta step up our game if we wanna save the world from Sir Yux's blood-stained mittens, me mateys!"
"Goin' off Agent F's theory o' the Town House dwellin'...
"Argh, kippers an' crumpets...Looks like our assumptions led us astray, an' we sent another innocent investigator ta their watery grave 'cause o' that...There be no use on dwellin' on it now, though. We must learn from this dreadful error an' use the experience gained through that ta catch the...
"Yar, that I dunno 'bout. Only way we can figure that out is by actually pardonin' someone, which I ain't willin' ta risk this early on when we still got the numbers against the conspirators workin' under Sir Yux."
"Yar, I s'pose it only be fair ta 'ave a vote cast against me fer reasons that the moth stated. Sure, me "pleadin' an' indecision" 'ave brought little ta the table fer the investigatin' party, but as I said b'fore, what else do we 'ave ta go off with what little there is ta go off in the first...
"Yar, those all be reasonable ta be makin', so I'll be kind enough ta unvote fer the time bein'. Though that don't mean ye be crossed off me list o' potential suspects just yet."
"Additonally, while I'll voice me agreement the behavior Sparks an' the manga readin' fella in terms o' votin'...
"There ye go! Actions do speak louder than words in cases like this! We managed ta get the lad ta speak up, an' as such, we now know that 'e forgot 'bout the whole investigation an' arrived late because o' that!"
"The only downside ta that be that we be back ta square one as far as a potential...
"Yar, now ye be talkin' the language o' the investigator who's actually gettin' somewhere! While it still don't feel right ta me ta kill someone while 'is back's turned, 'specially on the grounds o' lackin' engagement in the investigation, it could potentially be better than just sittin' 'round...
"Yar, first off, I didn't place a vote on 'im. I said that I would remain cautiously optimistic if the majority o' votes ta sent 'im ta the gallows would get us somewhere in our investigation. There be a key difference 'tween those two things."
"Second off, the kitsune lad be onto somethin'...
"Nar, I did not, lad. Though I wish I did, 'cause at this rate, we ain't becomin' any the wiser as ta what the conspirators could be up ta next, let alone who the 'eck they even are. An' while I will remain cautiously optimistic somethin' will come outta sendin' that BigBoom1946 fella out...
"Yar, 'ow unfortunate fer another honest investigator doin' an honest day's work ta meet their grim demise at the blood-stained 'ands o' the ones conspirin' 'gainst us...Rest assured, noble investigator, we'll avenge yer 'orrible murder!"
"Now then, do any o' ye who survived the night patrol...
"Yar, an' so the shiver o' night arrives...'Opefully by the time the nightmare yields ta the breakin' dawn, we'll be able ta become any wiser regardin' this 'ole mystery surroundin' the Dark Crystal Star an' the return o' the X-Nauts..."
"Yar, that so? In that case, I oughta stop by there an 'ave meself a brew b'fore I tuck in fer the night. All this investigatin' be runnin' me mouth dry, after all...Either way, glad ta know that as the first day o' the investigation draws to a close, the majority o' the investigators present...
"Aye, it do seem that things be rather calm still on this first day like the kitsune lad suggested. That, in combination with the first days in these kinda investigations bein' relatively uneventful 'cause ye usually don't 'ave a whole lot o' evidence ta go off of, a no lynch situation do be the...
"Yar, any 'elp we can get in weedin' out the enemies within be much appreciated right about now, so yer assistance couldn't 'ave come at a better time, Agent!"
"Yar, seems pretty straightforward as things currently stand. Though I do 'ave ta ask if this means we can rest on our laurels 'till the terrible night sets in?"
"Yar, so I been able ta calm the storm that suddenly picked up inside me head in direct response ta the murder o' one o' the investigators. Now, lemme get things straight...The leader o' the X-Nauts 'as been rebuilt into the Sir Yux we just encountered, an' some o' this Sir Yux's most competent...
"Curse me cutlasses! The scurvy dogs 'ave keelhauled one o' the investigators! Prepare yerselves, me Mötley Crüe! Secure all fronts in town, an' man the stations! We got a murderer ta catch!"
"Aye, that be the case, mister. See, me day job consists o' bein' a cookin' columnist fer the local area newspaper. An' as such, the musk o' herbs, spices an' other such substances tend ta stick ta me shell fer a while after bein' in the kitchen as part o' the job. I think it be needless ta say...
"Ahoy, fellow investigators! I be Cap'n ClawgripFan9001 o' The Black Peach, investigatin' this gobbledygook surroundin' that eerie Dark Star loomin' o'er this town as o' late! While it ain’t me day job ta be investigatin' cold cases the likes o' this one, I be fairly certain me particular set o'...
