[The day has come.

..Valentine's Day, of course! Or should we now call it...ValITine's Day? Well, it doesn't matter. It's a Friday.

Hopefully, the Strangers got through this week without killing. But perhaps it's best to be sufficiently paranoid and check first, hmm?]

Comments

[cuteandinnocentpet]

...Kyuu?

[It's honestly impossible to tell what with the never changing face as to what it is feeling.]

[relieable]

[yeah, we're definitely not tasting it.

but he will bring this thing for evidence, if it's small enough to move. anything else weird about the alembic? or the liquid? other than the fact that it is there at all]

[strangerpeople]

[Nothing else!

It looks like Oso's found everything here. Good job!]

...

[this is kind of like talking to a stuffed animal in that respect.

Including the part where he starts to feel a little stupid about it.]

I-If you can really talk... if you know who did it... please. She liked you a lot, you know.

[relieable]

[great! fantastic!

one more question, is the device he has old, or modern-looking?]

[backuphero]

[Does this knife look like it came from in here, or somewhere else?]

[cuteandinnocentpet]

...Kyuu...

[illusionarymelody]

[Does it look like they are roughly the same age and maybe the spots were splatter from someone being stabbed?]

[strangerpeople]

[The splatter looks old and dried enough to have been from the murder in question.]

[strangerpeople]

It looks to have come from here.]

[incendiarize]

[Once again it's not much. In some ways that's a good thing - Arthur doesn't scream or cry out, just starts coughing. Recovery is swift.

On the other hand, once again all he really got is emotion and thought, without context. Not a lot of good for solving the case.]

[poorlovefool]

So you can't...

[well, that was a long shot, but it's still depressing. Eric sighs and fidgets with all the fluff in his arms.]

I w- [wait. you're not supposed to wish around this thing] It's too bad we couldn't do more for her.

[illusionarymelody]

[Anything else noticeable about the knife itself or the blood?]

[strangerpeople]

[It's medieval.]

[strangerpeople]

[Nope! It looks like you and Jonathan have found everything here!]

first of all someone picked off some plants in the lab
i recognized some wheat missing and i think there are other plants that have been picked off too

[several images of the plants are attached]

then i found this thing
some kinda old lab device that was still warm when i touched it
it had a wheaty smelling liquid in it
not a lot just a few drops so i couldnt get a real good look at it

[unwittingking]

[So armature gun-shot-ology part two: Electric Boogaloo.

Are there any burns around the wound this time? Like with Akira? Or is it clearly not from close range this time?]

Re: DINING ROOM

[necroyalty]

[Anything else of interest here besides the body and the blood? ]

[strangerpeople]

[Ambro will notice something as she goes near where Karma has gone, though it's not the blood.]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[Impossible to tell, because it looks partly healed up, oddly enough.]

[cuteandinnocentpet]

[It tilts its head at this.]

Kyuu!

[comesaround]

[ Definitely noted. He's going to walk over to it and check to see if there is any sort of drag marks or anything notable around now that he's here. ]

[strangerpeople]

[There are marks, but not from a body being dragged.]
