Bottled Time

[PointMaid]

The mice poke their heads out from their tent, a bit wary.

Has anything happened? I guess we should be glad we're still alive...

[Despair's Archon of Memes]

Only one way to find out...

>Headcount/look for any bodies

[TalesofUnder]

Three members of my sector are out for blood, that's what!

>Body count (5)

At first, you noticed that, in the near vicinity, you smelled ashes. Then you noticed that one of the tents is completely burnt and destroyed.

Oh no. No no no no no no. It didn't happen... IT CAN'T FUCKING BE!

[Kennifer]

"Oh no... whose tent was that?"

[PointMaid]

Brain gulps. ...That doesn't sound good. Pinky munches nervously on his fingers.

> Try to figure out whose tent that is

[Dookie]

"oh.....someone's dead. I didn't think this would happen."

> Did the person inside burn to death?

[wingedcatgirl]

Eri exits from his tent, geared-up and looking very serious indeed.

[TalesofUnder]

>Try to figure out whose tent it is (2)

Uhhhh... all these tents look the same to you.

>Did the person inside burn to death? (5)

You check inside the tent, and OH JEEZ OH MY. It's really burnt, but you can faintly make out something... something that looks an awful lot like Roxy.

(Roxy was the Alien.)

[PointMaid]

Oh... yeah, that's not good. That would have been useful. More useful than only talking to my dumb as rocks partner over here. Pinky doesn't seem to mind this...

Time to investigate, my friends. A little forensics. At least our rodent noses are good for something. Pinky? Let's sniff out any accelerant.

> Use your mouse noses to identify if any accelerant was used, and if so, what accelerant

[Kennifer]

"Oh god no... what a horrific way to die."

Kennifer shudders, then...

> Look around the remains of the tent for footprints

[Dookie]

"..."

"......Oh my god."


> cry

[TalesofUnder]

>Identify any accelerant (1)

You try to sniff the ground... and end up snorting a blade of grass directly up your nose. Hey, it happens to all of us... I think.

>Look for footprints (1) 
You get a bit overzealous in searching the area around the tent, and accidentally trip on a rock. You faceplant and land... inches away from the campfire. That was close.

>Cry (2)

You somehow fail... to cry. HOW?!

[Kennifer]

"Augh! I didn't burn my hair or anything did I?"

Kennifer gets up and brushes herself off, checking to make sure she'd avoided singeing anything.

[KungFuCutbug]

[Luke hurriedly rushes out of his tent to the rest of the group.] “What's going on? I heard a ruckus, did I miss any—” [And that's when he sees the burnt corpse of Roxy.]

“...thing...”

[He just sort of stands there, frozen in shock. Blasted... He knew his decision to hang back and stay by himself was going to bite him in the rear eventually.]

[PointMaid]

*Achoo* Dammit... You too? Let's try that again, Pinky.

> Yeah, let's try sniffing for accelerant again.

[Despair's Archon of Memes]

Reisen watches in horror at the crime scene...

So THIS is the extent of the cruelty of the Kronos Rebellion... How horrifying...

[Dookie]

> Fuckin bawl

[Kennifer]

Kennifer attempts to pull herself together before

>Let's try looking for footprints again, but watch your step this time so you don't trip over anything. Hopefully.

[TalesofUnder]

>Sniff for accelerant again (1)

Yeah, you get more grass up the nose. That's not how you “smoke that dank grass”, Pinky and the Brain!

>Bawl (6) 

You successfully cry all over the grass at the death of Roxy. In fact, you cry so much and for so long that your eyes start hurting.

>Look for footprints again (6)

You trip over a rock again, but this time, it knocks some sense into your head. You realize, oh yeah! There are footprints here! Ones that aren't your own, at any rate.

[SapphireStarblazer]

(Boy I sure do love a n i g h t o n e d e a t h)
(...Am I doing "Bah!" posts right-)

[Kennifer]

Kennifer rubs her head.

"Hey, I found some prints!"

[KungFuCutbug]

> suppress your internal complete mental breakdown for now and help investigate the crime scene

[MadeOfMilk]

Some crashing is heard as Madelyn finally enters, trying to keep Jeffrey from attacking.... something.

>Investigate ig

[PointMaid]

Excellent! Pinky and I may need to clear our sinuses... There's a lot of ragweed here. Way too much.

[PointMaid]

> Attempt to clear your sinuses... maybe that will help.
