Investigations are now locked. The (improvised) Final Accusation phase is now active.
Players may now post their deductions for the culprit using thread clues they've gathered. No new investigations or rolepowers may be submitted.
After a brief interlude, a story sequence will be posted...
You look for a painting with a high amount of black around its edges, and look for fuzzy things on it.
Something fuzzy's going on here for sure. Fine art is truly... a mystery.
Surprised as ever by anything, you ask Valerie about her involvement, and your genuine concern catches her off guard amidst the tension.
- [Valerie] - I absolutely don't know. My animal communication allows me to impart thoughts on untrained fuzzies, and in addition to exposure to their...
- [Moh] - ...Starchild ENA. Yes, the Noktmathi delegation informed me you may be present as an independent, and intimidating, investigator. Presuming you've entered a contract yourself, you are well aware of the things I can, and cannot, disclose, subject to individual terms.
However. "Set him...
- [CYMK] - ...............I should have said something from the start. Buxy. I lied..... and I was struggling for so long.
- [CYMK] - The pressure to perform, to represent a future of hope for mages around the world. The privilege to share that which I admire with all of you: the endless...
The reanimated pink golem shambles around, and you like, press your face against its hip and blink a few times to get a good look at the particles within. It stares at you.
You note there are a few different types of leafy biomass churning around the tainted golem. Due to the vast variety of...
Valerie watches you with caution. She notes you taking an interest in her pets, after earlier, and calls one out of the bushes, and into the crime scene for you. Maybe, she thinks, that people aren't so bad. She agrees to let you try giving it a sticker, though she cautions you, it's well...
You examine the mask in the bushes. You note a few more crushed plants are here, as well as Valerie's traps. The herbs section appears to have been plundered nearby. Thinking back to what you saw earlier, you turn the mask over for its initials, and it reads: KL.
- [Moh] - .......................................................................................................................................................Mr. Pea is very amusing. I rarely get the time for media these days. The last I heard, he went on a holiday of some kind many years...
Aldrich confirms that despite his lobbying, the security systems on the main island are not perfect. Contraband is not allowed, or must be contained on arrival. He uses an additional layer of guest monitoring and confiscation to handle anything that falls through the cracks, as demonstrated...
It is the same can.
- [Storm] - Do I have to...? Okay fine. I smuggled it in. It's a cool Findelan dagger I picked up on the mainland. I cut myself with it working on the exhibit, and then tried to use it to open the box, but, hah....
- [Storm] - Provided you're not like, storing hordes of...
- [Cassia] - My... there's no chance I would do something so uncouth as this wretched vandal did towards a fine arts exhibition~ but, any chance to take the stage and talk about my talents is appreciated. Your chef for this afternoon's testimony is Cassiandra Lonicera, here to sweeten our...
- [Valerie] - .......................................................................................................okay fine. I'll talk, especially if one of my terrichinoderms really had something to do with this. They're completely harmless (...when trained and pacified.)
- [Valerie] -...
The thrilling sequel to "throwing oneself down a garbage chute" begins.
TESTIMONY - MOH DHURVAKT
- [Moh] - My, already... so many people interested in the arcane have arrived. The Astral Plane... hohoh. A noble pursuit, starchild Rei. You should attend my lecture later in the...
TESTIMONY - STORM DEMORGE
- [Storm] - Okay Sholmes, upfront, I didn't have shit to do with that exhibition, okay!? Thanks for having my back. None of you better piss me off with accusations while I'm here, because I've been doing great these past few months. I'm not gonna let anyone...
