GAH. THAT NOISSE ISS SO UNTUBULAR-ALRIGHT, IF YOU GUYSS SSAID SSOMETHING ABOUT THE MATCH? LET-

>examine DIO for any signs of manhandling, if his hands were grabbed or whatever

>...also start rapping some calming tunes under your breath

[Weirdguy149]

"Dipper" giggled like an idiot and clapped along with the nonexistent monkey in his head. He definitely didn't seem to be a sane guy.

[PointMaid]

Brain is scratching his head. Pinky is... pretty much like he usually is.

[KungFuCutbug]

[...The monkey's gone? Good.]

> regain your lost focus (which may or may not involve looking at Cool Sendri again for prolonged periods of time)

Reisen contemplates the stupidity of the actions that just unfolded in her eyes...

This is worse than your average Gensokyo incident...

>Continue investigation

[Dookie]

“Why...why was there a monkey?”

[MadeOfMilk]

> Examine the position of the crate prints

[Oggy123]

>Help the others in their investigation

[Kennifer]

"Okay. Focus, Kennifer... you got this."

> Could the prints on the crate been left there before night fell?

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

> Look for something that could make fake fingerprints

[TalesofUnder]

>Manhandling on Dio? (1)

Oh shit. The monkey's back, and it's singing “Brass Monkey” by the Beastie Boys.

“BRASS MONKEY! THAT FUNKY MONKEY! BRASS MONKEY JUNKIE, THAT FUNKY MONKEY!”

>Rap calming tunes (2)

There is no calming tunes. There is only Brass Monkey.

>Regain focus (6)

You regain focus, although a bit of Brass Monkey is still leaking in.

>Position of crate prints (5)

They're all along the outside, suggesting someone opened it. 

>Crate grabbed before nighttime? (5)

No, the crate wasn't grabbed before night fell.

>Fake fingerprints (5)

...the fuck? Nothing can make “fake fingerprints”. But thanks for trying, have a Fudgsicle.

Dio has been following the investigation. He finally speaks up after recovering from the distraction, "I did kill JoJo's mutt, Evil Jay Leno. However, that was when I was still a lowly human, an inferior mortal. If I ever want to kill that dog, I would have done so with a kick rather than the lick of flames."

"Vampires like me are weak to flame, as it is similar to the energy of sunlight. It would be foolish of me, the superior being, to subject myself to my weakness. I also genuinely want to educate myself more about the link between gravity and time by working here to maintain balance between the two and defeat the Joestar family once and for all! It would be counterintuitive to bring my own downfall by killing anyone here, right?"

"Anyway, I still believe a fool was using my body while I was not aware to play a delusional game of making me a killer. Such stupidity, I will end this by finding more evidence!"

> Try to investigate Roxy's remains to see if there is even any salvageable fingerprint that may belong to someone else

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Cool Sendri is covering their ears, the sound of Brass Monkey permeating their brain. Dammit, dammit, don't lose your cool, don't lose your-DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING YET, BROSS. DID ANYONE ELSSE GET ANYTHING?

[Dookie]

“YOU KILLED A DOG???”


/vote-


“That's not the dog we're looking for.”

“Oh.”

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

All I know is the fingerprints couldn't have been faked.

[KungFuCutbug]

“Alright, alright, I'm back... shutupaboutamonkeymadeofbrass...”

> think back on the crime scene, is there anything you might've missed?

[MadeOfMilk]

Well, someone opened the crate, and that someone's starting to look like you, ELJ.

[TalesofUnder]

>Prints on Roxy's remains? (3)

No.

>What did you miss? (4)

You notice small traces of glove leather on Dio's hands. But it's from the outside of the glove, not the inside.

[PointMaid]

The fingerprints were strange, though. Maybe someone pressed Dio's fingers onto the match. Someone wearing gloves.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

> Search for gloves

[TalesofUnder]

>search for gloves (1)

BRASS MONKEY. That is all.

[PointMaid]

I'm convinced enough. I think these inconsistencies are coming into focus. Are you, Pinky? Pinky nods.

/EJL

[MadeOfMilk]

>Blast the Brass Monkey with an energy ball

[MadameButterflyKnife]

HEY NIKEI? DUDE? WHERE THE FUCK ISS THAT BRASSS MONKEY COMING FROM AND CAN YOU MAKE IT SSTOP.

They take another deep breath. YESS, THAT SSEEMS LIKE AN OPTION, BRAIN. AND FLORAN DOUBTSS THAT DIO USSED THE LASSER AS WELL, CONSSIDERING A VAMPIRE'SS SSTATED WEAKNESSS TO LIGHT AND LASSERS BEING WELL, CONCENTRATED LIGHT.

[Despair's Archon of Memes]

The Fuck?!

>Fire an Eye laser at the monkey
