19 | !! This MMBC provides examples of: |
20 | * EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: This story was written before a lot of the tropes of the MMBC were established, and the author herself was in the early days of writing proper stories (having only written a bachelorette challenge before that wasn't plot-heavy). Trifle MMBC therefore can be considered less coherent than later stories of its kind. The murderer's motive is less clear and complex; Blueberry's illness is handled with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer and seems to come out of nowhere. Later MMBCs by the author would handle the genre better. |
21 | * HereditaryCurse: Almost everyone in the Trifle family has met some kind of tragic fate. The BC was originally intended as Blueberry Honey's attempt to break it. |
22 | * MurderBallad: While taking care of the last victim, the killer sings a refrain from Jill Tracy's ''The Fine Art of Poisoning''. |
23 | * PhonyPsychic: Sloe Cyanide oscillates between this and NotSoPhonyPsychic, depending on the day. |
24 | * SecretlyDying: Blueberry herself. |
