THE THIRD INVESTIGATION

[As people wake up in the morning after last night's party, and exit their rooms, they will hear something...unusual as they get closer to Yotsukoshi's entrance.

Inhuman screeching.

It actually sounds like an animal of some kind...]

Comments

[eyesofdespair]

Not really since I can't get drunk. However, I know how he ingested it. It was in his cigarettes.

[strangerpeople]

[Well, then.

Anyone up for a drink?]

[incrediblystressedout]

[Joey purses her lips. Between the flower smell and the woman's bracelet, not to mention a few stereotypes she's dimly aware of, this is starting to point in a particularly unfortunate direction. She can save her observations for the trial, though.]

We think it was also in his aspirin. They might have tried to dose him every possible way...anyway...I can make a guess what whiskey is supposed to smell like. It's not like I haven't smelled my babysitter's.

[Let's go sniff that whiskey.]

[Obviously not drinking it come on.]

[eyesofdespair]

I'm not so sure about that. It could be possible that it was used as a means to carry the poison.

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[Well, the good news is, it smells very whiskey-ish and not very poison...ish.

But, hey, just in case anyone wants to drink it to make sure...it's Johnnie Walker!]

[incrediblystressedout]

Bluh! Yeah. I don't smell anything bitter, but...

[Just gonna...dip a finger in and lick it.]

Yeah, just burning. Ow. I think that's my babysitter's after-work-on-Friday stuff. Top hat on the label, steals it out of Pa's basement stash.

[strangerpeople]

[OH GOD JOEY YOUR INSIDES ARE MELTIIIIIING

Because it’s whiskey and whiskey burns. No poison, though. Joey will live.]

[eyesofdespair]

If either of you two want one before the trial, I'll look the other way and say nothing.

[byanyother_name]

I won't say I'm not tempted, but we should keep a clear head for the trial.

[eyesofdespair]

I just don't want to see you or Akira try anything reckless again.

[byanyother_name]

I would think drinking would only make that more likely.

....thank you for your concern, however.

[byanyother_name]

...I'm not sure your babysitter is in the right job, Claire-chan.

[incrediblystressedout]

Her day job is in a lab, so honestly, babysitting is probably safer for her.
