Iâve done some searching around, and Wordpress seems to be a pretty good looking option here, especially since it has an option to import content from a Tumblr blog directly. Iâve started looking into setting up shop over there.
Thereâs just one problem - Iâve started the import for this blog, itâs been over a day, and... I donât know if itâs done anything. The status page shows 0 out of 99 posts imported, and as if to confirm that, none of the posts from here actually show up on the Wordpress page, just a generic âHello Worldâ post.
Anyone here familiar with Wordpressâs Tumblr import feature? How long should it take, roughly? Are their servers probably just overwhelmed with all the people leaving this place?
(Also, Iâm aware that my formatting for coloured text is broken right now. Iâll look into it later.)
Erika is woken up by someone knocking at her door, and she snarks that theyâd better âhave a good reason for knocking on the detectiveâs door at an hour like this.â never change erika
actually i take that back please change stop being so unpleasant but ANYWAYS
In the Meta-World, Erika proposes that they âraise the stakesâ.Â
âItâs simple. Battler got a shot off at us in the last game. So, if Erika does the same in this game, weâre only even.â
Lambda realizes that Erikaâs saying sheâs not going to make a detective proclamation, and Chick takes offense. âYou intend to participate in the game with a foolish handicap like that...? That is not only presumptuous, itâs quite rude...!â
âIf this game is won by a human without the detective proclamation, itâll be impossible for Battler and the others to pick up the pieces of the Illusion of the Witch... But on the other hand, if Erika loses, that detective trash will be sent into the depths of oblivion along with the worst possible Fragment.â BERNKASTEL DID NOTHING WRONG
Battler asks Erika if sheâs okay with this deal, and she stutters, which doesnât escape his notice. Even if she doesnât say it outright, Bern doesnât try very hard to pretend this isnât her doing, lol.
âAfter all, when Battler played for the Human side, he never had anything as convenient as the detectiveâs authority. All he was allowed to do was use the blue truth and demand that Beato repeat things he said.â
Erika proclaims that sheâll âdestroy the Illusion of the Witch for [Bernkastel] without fail,â and we cut back to the game board, where George and Jessica have knocked at Erikaâs door looking for Battler and Maria. Erikaâs face lights up when she hears that thereâs no sign of them in the guesthouse, and no oneâs answering the phone at the mansion. She rushes out into the rain on her own, heading for the mansion.
âThe first twilight usually starts in the morning, but it looks like weâve got an early fight this time.â Pretty good indicator that, like in Ep5, whateverâs going on behind the scenes here isnât the same murder roulette game that Yasuâs games were about...
Entering the mansion (the door being unlocked this time, for some reason), she runs into Gohda right away, screaming about calling the police or an ambulance or someone. Business as usual, here.
âThat expression really is wonderfully pathetic. Just perfect for the first one to discover the crime.â lol
Erika snarks about the island being cut off from the outside world, as always, and in the Meta, she asks Battler to explain the crime scenes and such.
Again, business as usual here - the parlour was locked from the inside, door barred, etc., and Rosa and Maria were found dead inside.
âThe entrance wasnât locked when you came into the mansion because they went out through it to check the parlour from the outside. It had been locked before they left through it, so there was a chance that the others who had gone missing were lying elsewhere within the mansion, and the adults are now searching the entire building...â
Battler confirms that the victims were found where they were killed during the love trial earlier - Rosa and Maria in the parlour (of course), Natsuhi in her own room, Kyrie in Kraussâs study, and Eva in the VIP room (okay, she was moved there after being killed in the rose garden, but still). Though that still only makes five victims...
On the board, the adults have found a guest room with the chain set. Never a good sign on Rokkenjima.
Cutting the chain and entering, they find none other than Battler lying on one of the beds. Rudolf breaks down immediately, crying over his body, while Krauss confirms that the guest room was also a closed room. âTheyâre all closed rooms, arenât they...? ...I donât... understand... It couldnât be suicide, could it...?!â
In the Meta, Erika feigns surprise at Battler being the sixth victim, and he just replies with, âItâs more interesting to kill yourself off every now and then.â lol
Chick claims the murders couldnât have been performed without magic, Erika counters that it wouldnât be a game if that were the case, and Battler coyly says, âThatâs an interesting thought.â
âThis game is fair. The goal is to explain without magic the strange crimes that are claimed to be caused with magic. If that couldnât be done, it wouldnât be a game.â
âTo turn it around, the witch side had a certain responsibility. They had to make a crime that could be reproduced with tricks and not magic.â
âIn other words, in order to carry out a closed room murder with magic... it was necessary to create a crime that would be possible by Human hands.â
To be completely honest? While, yes, thatâs been an unspoken assumption all along, and implicitly confirmed in Ep5, I still donât like how Ep6 just lays it all out like that. Itâs a minor point, seeing as the howdunnit ultimately isnât the key point of the story, but it still bugs me.
Meanwhile, in Featherineâs parlour (oh god I forgot how fucking nuts the meta was in Ep6), Ange finally realizes why the Stakes couldnât murder her classmates when she asked them to back in Ep4.
ââMagic can only do what you can accomplish by your own hands,â ...is that it?â
âAt that time, if I had been capable of killing my classmates... Capable of pulling it off... Then the Seven Sisters of Purgatory would probably have pulled it off for me. They could only accomplish what I could do myself... No, thatâs not it either. They could take what I had accomplished and turn it into âmagicâ.â
âIf I had called those classmates out somewhere without witnesses... and if I had succeeded in murder... At that point, âthe Seven Sisters of Purgatory would be capable of carrying out a magical murderâ...â
And Ange hits the nail on the head: Magic, in this context, is an adornment. Not even a Witch can make a lollipop appear out of thin air, unless sheâs already got one hidden in her pocket.
âThose who accomplish something without using magic... later claim that magic was used and call themselves witches.â
And of course, because Erika already knows and understands this, she simply wonât ever surrender, unlike Battler early on, when he still didnât know up from down. Ange finds herself getting stuck on the same point as always, though - Since drawing the game out longer would mean more hints for the Human side, i.e. a higher chance of the tricks being seen through and the magic being destroyed, why would Beato deliberately drag things out until she lost...?
Back on the game board, Erika takes advantage of the confusion in the mansion to quickly check all of the crime scenes. Dlanor reminds her that without the detectiveâs authority, her âphotographic memoryâ isnât infallible. For instance, she canât confirm by investigation that someone is genuinely dead, as opposed to just pretending.
(spoiler: she totally can and she totally will)
âI quickly visited the VIP room, Kraussâs study, and Natsuhiâs room on the second floor, as well as the parlour and the guest room on the first floor, this time checking with my own eyes, as I had failed to do in the last game...â Iâd forgotten that Ep6 actually confirms that Erika didnât check the corpses herself in Ep5, huh.
âThe closed rooms were all made without relying on any elements that could be locked or unlocked from the outside by a master key or something else.â AKA, the chains were set, windows were locked, etc.
"It is probably their goal to construct closed rooms where explanations using master keys are made completely INEFFECTIVE.â
Erika homes in on the fact that the parlour doesnât have a chain lock - instead, the door was just barred with a hat stand, like Battler said. An interesting choice when there are plenty of guest rooms with chain locks, indeed...
She asks if the deaths could be confirmed âeven without the detectiveâs authority,â and Gertrude replies, âKnow that there were no corpses that could have been confirmed dead with certainty by physical means.â RYUKISHI.............
Lambda points out that, while she liked the closed room chain from Ep3 better, âthese closed rooms are even more complete, considering that master keys donât help you at all.â
âThere are two general ways of breaking closed rooms that Battler might be after... An illusion of a closed room, or an illusion of a crime.â
Lambda states that, looking at Battlerâs game board âfrom the underside,â she knows the closed rooms are âperfect.â Bern asks her to say that in red, she refuses because itâd be rude to Battler, saying, âIf you do love me, you must see my words as red truth already, right...?â lol
â...Then the closed rooms are perfect.â lol
Either way, the alternative is that no one actually died, of course. âDoesnât this mean that everyone got so pissed at Erika bragging about detectives and stuff that they joined together and set up a fake murder to make fun of her?âÂ
(spoiler: yes)
Bern, however, replies with, âUnfortunately... this isnât a fake. The victims really have been killed.â
âNo detective proclamation has been made, but Erikaâs very accurate when examining corpses. Sheâs good enough that I could give her examinations the red truth.â FORESHADOWING...
Of course, Bern being Bern, she wonât confirm anything that easily. âWell, she isnât even the detective this time around. I wonât give her any red.â
âStill... that makes it incredible. This time... Battlerâs really made a perfect closed room!â
Lambda asks if this might be too much for Erika without her authority, and Bern says, âNo matter how it turns out, it wonât be boring.â TRUE NEUTRAL
âLambdadelta had guaranteed that it was a perfect closed room. Bernkastel had guaranteed that it was a perfect murder. A perfect âclosed roomâ and âmurderâ.â
Meanwhile, Battler asks Erika if sheâs satisfied with her investigation. She says yes, and asks if theyâll start throwing reds and blues at each other now or later. âI donât like putting things off. I think the same goes for you.â
(booooo i have to worry about text formatting after all)
In order, Battler confirms in red:
All six rooms were closed rooms (until Gohda & co. cut the chain locks and entered)
The âclosed roomsâ couldnât have been constructed from outside
Interference from the outside is impossible (barring immaterial things like sound)
When the closed rooms were deconstructed, the only people inside were the victims
...but when Dlanor asks him to confirm âNo murder was committed after the deconstruction of the closed ROOMS,â he refuses. Erika jumps on this, claiming that the victims were alive and Kraussâs group were the culprits, and Battler... doesnât respond. Instead, Chick says, âThe murders will continue to occur, so we cannot say in red that no murders will happen after this.â HMM
âSheesh, what twisted logic. You probably see what weâre getting at. Kraussâs group cut the chain and destroyed the closed rooms, then killed the people inside. I just want you to counter this.â Dlanor points out that âKraussâs groupâ isnât a specific number of people, but Battler acknowledges in red that âKraussâs groupâ - i.e. Krauss, Rudolf, Hideyoshi, and Gohda - were the only people besides Erika to enter any of the rooms, as of the current time.
While itâs framed as being a âwho knows what might happen nextâ kind of deal... Hmm. I wonder...
Something that Iâve thought for a while is that Battlerâs gambit with the logic error in this Episode was completely intentional on his part, and something that he actively instigated and worked towards. With what we see of the GMâs awareness in other Episodes, I find it hard to believe that Erika could run off and kill five people without him noticing it somehow.
To that end... I wonder if his refusal is because he already knows that Erikaâs killed off everyone? Those murders would have to occur after the âdeconstruction of the closed rooms,â so he wouldnât be able to say that nothing of the sort happened in red...
Thinking about it, Iâm not sure that actually fits with Ep6â˛s sequence of events - Erikaâs murder spree happens after she herds everyone into the guesthouse, doesnât it? Either way, hmm...
At any rate, Erika continues by asking him to confirm that Kraussâs group âare not culprits.â After a momentâs thought, he replies, âIâll acknowledge it, but Iâll make the language more strict. Krauss, Rudolf, Hideyoshi, and Gohda... were not involved in the murders of Natsuhi, Eva, Kyrie, Rosa, Maria, and Battler.â
âAnd that means, âit was also impossible for any of the other humans, who didnât even enter the closed room, to have been involved with murder,â doesnât it?â
blah blah repeat of ep4â˛s rules, in order to win the witch side has to protect at least one of its riddles but the human side has to explain everything, blah blah
Having said that, Battler doesnât confirm Erikaâs last statement, saying, âI donât give out red for free.â
âLet us CONTINUE.â Battler confirms in red that all of the victims were murdered, but when Dlanor starts to list off the seventh item in her list, Erika interrupts her, saying, âThatâs enough.â Seems to me like sheâs leaving some leeway for her insane murder spree later on, but...
âFrom here on, itâs time for me to argue back with the blue truth.â
âSure, fine. Let me hear your masterful theories.â
Chick watches from the sidelines, thinking that Erika and Battler are probably having fun... and feeling a bit jealous. Sorry, Ryukishi, but no matter how hard you push Erika as being another rival for Battler, it doesnât fly for me.
Back on the game board, all the survivors have gathered in the guesthouse. Yeah, Erikaâs killing spree is after she returns to the mansion from here, huh...
The adults all question what the hell happened, how Battler and Maria got inside the mansion, etc. In hindsight, I can definitely see that theyâre doing this to prod at Ms. Detective Erika about the crime being âimpossible.â
Erika asks everyone to calm down, pointing out that how Battler and Maria got into the mansion might not have anything to do with how the culprit entered. Krauss agrees, saying, âI feel as terrible as the rest of you. However, we must take the initiative now and regain our composure.â
âThe culprit is still on this island. And we canât be sure that this tragic crime is over. We need to stay calm and prevent any further tragedies.â
Rudolf wants to find the culprit, while everyone else points out that their best bet is to wait until the police can arrive and investigate.Â
âKyrie... Battler... Dammit... dammiiiiit... I never... had a chance... to tell you the truth...â
Erika successfully convinces Krauss and the servants to head upstairs, leaving her, Rudolf, and Hideyoshi behind in the lounge. âIn times of confusion, when only men are around, itâs easy for a composed member of the opposite sex to take the initiative. Even without the detectiveâs authority, she was able to control them quite naturally.â lol
âThis crime happened during a short break in the family conference. In that tiny span of time, six people were killed without anyone noticing. I canât imagine a crime improvised on the spot going so smoothly. This crime was committed by someone who knew the layout of this mansion well, inside and out.â
Unsurprisingly, Rudolf and Hideyoshi are none too fond of the idea that the culprit mightâve been one of the other family members or a servant, but Hideyoshiâs line in particular stands out to me:
âI never even considered suspectinâ Krauss nii-san or Rudolf-kun...!! All of the siblings had excellent relationships with their spouses! True, the Ushiromiya family may be strict with discipline and money. But that doesnât mean we treasure our own families less than anyone else...!â
âWith their spouses.â âOur own families.â Foreshadowing that, whatever happened on Rokkenjima Prime in Angeâs world, Eva likely wasnât the culprit.
Erika proposes that, while he didnât kill anyone himself, Gohda mightâve let the actual culprit into the mansion. Well, we know in red that thatâs not true, but thatâs not particularly relevant to anyone on the board...
âThough the siblings hated each other, it wasnât possible that theyâd hate each otherâs wives enough to kill them.â UM..........
Erika repeats some of the same points that have been brought up since early on when it comes to the servants - theyâre relatively familiar with the family members, and theyâve got master keys. Pretty standard, though as usual, thereâs no red-abiding explanation for how someone could set the chain on the door from outside.
âThough it might be possible [to set the chain from outside] in reality... the red truth had already declared that these closed rooms could not have been constructed from the outside.â Oh. Now thatâs telling, isnât it?
âIt might be possible in reality.â In other words, each episode isnât just a work of fiction for us, but in-universe as well.
âWith her accomplished conversation techniques, Erika was cleverly grasping the initiative. ...Even without the detectiveâs authority, itâs possible to control human nature to this degree. What do you think, everyone...?â
