Castle of Beasts: An NME Murdergame
>search the barracks for clues
>search the barracks for clues
There was a large hole in Boris's door.
[Skid and Pump groggily wake up, still a little dazed from the battle yesterday, and—OH FUCK NO. Well, this is off to a great start. Why Boris, of all people?!]

No.

The hole seemed too big for any of these weapons.

Boris's body was fiound, rather, in the Arena.
> Examine Boris's corpse
I like bananas. They're yellow.
Jessie walks to the Arena and holds her head in her hands. Not Boris...
[Upon catching sight of the body, Skid immediately tries to flee back to the barracks. Pump has to grab him by the back of his skeleton costume to keep him in place.] “Wha—?!”

“Skid, come on.”

“B-but I don't wanna be near the d-dead people!”

[Pump inhales, lets out a very, very long deep sigh, and looks Skid straight in the eyes.] “I know. We're losing a lot of friends here, and you're sad. I get it. I'm hurt, too. But you can't just run away from it to cry every time it happens. Don't you wanna stop it from happening?”

“Y-yeah...?”

“Well, we need to find the murderers. If you're hiding in the barracks instead of...” [Pump struggles to pronounce the next word for a bit.] “...in... inv... investigating, then we might miss something that you would easily notice, and then the big dragon might kill an innocent guy because of it!”

[Skid shudders a bit at the thought of executing an innocent by mistake, prompting Pump to pat him on the shoulder reassuringly.] “Don't worry. As long as we work together, we'll find the murderers who killed Boris, and we'll... what's the word? Avenge? We'll avenge him! Won't we?”

[Silence. Then, Skid smiles, ever so slightly.] “Y... yeah! We'll avenge him!” [He raises an arm into the air, determined.] “For Boris!”

[Pump smiles right back, more than happy to see Skid mostly back to his former self.] “Yeah! For Boris!”

[With that, Skid climbs right back onto Pump's head, both of them ready to once more scour the castle for clues.]

He had three small bloody holes in his chest.
"Oh, God... Who would even gun him down like this? I'll find out!"

The only weapon that could have done a thing like that is the spears.

It was difficult to tell one way or another.

>See if Boris's gun was used for the murder weapon
They were too small for the Kalashinov to have made.
Now, if we can be real.... the only others that used guns in battle I can think of are Jessie and Robin. Why don't you two put your weapons out for inspection and see if they were used to kill Boris.
I like bananas. They're yellow.
Jessie unholsters her Service Weapon and lays it out on the table. It is a sleek block of solid metal, thrumming slightly at the touch as if it is alive. There is no loading mechanism or hole for a bullet to fire through.
Robin pulls his SMG out and lays it down on the table as well. It was your typical black machine gun. It appears it has not kept properly maintained as most of it was covered in the blood and gunk of the baddies he and his housemates have encountered. Only the handle was kept clean.

"I'm sorry if it's a bit gross..."
Magolor then floats into view.
Hiiii!
[Seeing that nobody else is doing it...]

The holes seemed small enough to come out of either of the two guns.
