WHO KILLED CHRISTMAS?

Starshine and Brasco assemble everyone in the room. The room is extra foreboding and cold after the events of last week, and the raw egg evidence as well as Rider's body have been preserved in the room, so tread carefully.

Starshine slams down the paper for this week with all the suspects and laughs, turning to Brasco and gesturing wildly, pointing at him. "J'accuse, Brasco! This whole time, we've been pointing figures at each other but there was one man we never pointed at. And it's you! And actually, all the rest of the people on this list, too." She looks back at the list and taps it gently, "Oh, yeah, one other thing, I need you to write two names on your paper. Assuming you actually vote, unlike you abstainers," she says it the way someone in the 1950s might say communists. "I deduced that two people definitely killed the two dead people, so have fun with that." She claps her hands, "get to it, my minions!"

Bruises?

[theothermrgray]

... Does anyone else have bruises?

[thatdarkmage]

[ Provided someone checks him out, he has no bruises! ]

[acherontiastyx]

[...he takes things down to the waist he guesses, he doesn't have any bruises]

...

I mean. There's also like... I dunno, there were bloody handprints everywhere, right? Do you think it'd still smell?

[theothermrgray]

Not unless the killer was smart enough to clean themselves up.

[acherontiastyx]

I dunno, dude. That was a lot of blood, and like, I know from every time my nose got beat in it took forever to get all the blood cleaned up.

[theothermrgray]

... Well, you seem to know more about blood than I do. Perhaps we could check to see if anyone has blood stains on their clothes as well?

[acherontiastyx]

I mean, yeah, maybe? Let's check it out.

Clothes check.

[theothermrgray]

Very well. Let's see those sleeves, shall we?

[acherontiastyx]

[he holds his arms out! there's no blood on his sleeves or on his sweater.

like, the only place you might find blood at all is the bottom of his shoes because he might've accidentally stepped in blood while lifting the fridge up.]

[theothermrgray]

[The shoes makes sense.]

[doublesmall]

Look at their fingernails, while you're at it. It's harder to scrub out from there.

[acherontiastyx]

Oh, yeah. Here's mine, then.

[he holds out his hands for chuuya to check his nails, which have no blood.]

[thedifferencebetween]

Okay, obviously I have blood on my clothes and nails, but I've had it since Monday, you've...you've gotta all know that.

I'm just a victim of bad circumstances!

[acherontiastyx]

...you didn't clean it off at all, dude? If you're being legit that's super gross.

Re: Clothes check.

[thatdarkmage]

Here you go! As for if the killer having blood on their clothing, probably not if everyone ends up clean.

[ No blood on his clothing! ]

[ident17y]

[ You'll get a look then a shrug, but no bruises. ]

[theothermrgray]

Thank you, sir.

[thedifferencebetween]

....well, yeah, I got bruises, but that's from the rampage I went on in the foyer.

[theothermrgray]

From Monday? What about recently, can we check you for newer bruises?

[thedifferencebetween]

Well I'm not taking my shirt off, but here.

[He rolls up his sleeves. The bruises don't appear very very fresh, but it's hard to tell. There's some nasty ones, ranging in varying colors and states of healing.]

[theothermrgray]

... Not taking off your shirt? Whyever not?

[Was that some kind of flirt? Or is he trying to press Jack for clues? Who can tell at this point?]

[thedifferencebetween]

I don't like taking off my shirt in public. But it's the same kinda bruises everywhere else.

[theothermrgray]

Then why don't we go take it off in private? Just you and I?

[thedifferencebetween]

Yeah, okay, fine.

If it'll hurry this along...

[acherontiastyx]

Yeah, but they'd look different if they were older than if they were newer, yeah?
