"Okay well that... doesn't help figure out why there's a fake blonde hair there except nobody wore any of these wigs. Does someone here own wigs?"

[MadameButterflyKnife]

...Alright, narrator. Good point.

>help Pizzabug with searching

[artsyGeek]

". .hm. Do you guys know where Duo's corpse is found? Might check the room in a bit."

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

> check just outside the mansion to see if they disposed of the wig there somewhere—don't go too far, though (Pizzabug)

You went too far and ended up in Little Russia. Somehow. And you got some angry gangsters coming after you to avenge the death of Sidorov.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

>Look for more clues in the mansion. (Sho)

There's a broom in the storage room.

>help Pizzabug with searching (Chili)

You're not really finding any hidden wigs.

[KungFuCutbug]

[Ohhhhh hell no. Pizzabug grabs Chili Pepper Cookie and changes into an Abra cosplay, then...]

> teleport back to the mansion

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Good job! This absolutely sucks-

Chili, having helped out Pizzabug with searching, pulls out some knives.

>deal with the gangsters and get out of dodge

[Weirdguy149]

"I think I have my own suspicions about this. Specifically about the type of poison that was used. This seems like really old shit that not a lot of people would know about. So I'm wondering, who among us would actually know about this strychnine shit?"

[Tophat_E]

“I found a broom.’

He has no clue what this is useful for. Maybe..to clean up other hairs! Which would mean the hair wasn't a wig at all!

[Magolor]

"Did ya guys get in a shootout or somethin'? Who's this "Duo" fella? C'mon, won't ya help ol' Joe here?"

He says this to no one in particular.

I can't and won't claim to reproduce whatever his exact mannerisms of speech are, but just know there's no offense intended form such :)

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

> teleport back to the mansion (Pizzabug)

Your teleporting powers are not working!

>deal with the gangsters and get out of dodge (Chili)

You killed the gangsters with ease, but now the fighting has gotten the attention of police. What will you do now?

[KungFuCutbug]

> KEEP TRYING TO TELEPORT YOURSELF AND CHILI PEPPER AWAY HOLY SHIT

[PointMaid]

..Room Four, Joe

[artsyGeek]

> . .okay yeah (re?)search for Duo's dead body

[Tophat_E]

>Examine where the hair originally was.

[PointMaid]

So, assuming it was a wig. Why? If it's night, they're not going to be seen, are they?

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

> KEEP TRYING TO TELEPORT YOURSELF AND CHILI PEPPER AWAY HOLY SHIT (Pizzabug)

You do teleport back to the mansion. But you appear right above where the backyard swimming pool is and you all fall in. Cannonball!

> . .okay yeah (re?)search for Duo's dead body (Alto)

Why are you poking at his dead body?

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

>Examine where the hair originally was. (Sho)

You dropped the hair.

[PointMaid]

Like... Somebody like wigs? Have a wig fetish or something?

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Chili just looks absolutely dejected as she floats in the pool.

>dry yourself off at least

>also investigate that broom Sho found

[KungFuCutbug]

[...]

[...oops. Hope Chili Pepper doesn't mind being a little soggy. Pizzabug scrambles out of the pool, pulling Chili behind them and changing back into their normal outfit, still soaking wet.] "fucking Jesus Christ tap-dancing on top of Wario's motorcycle, that was just about the worst way that could've possibly gone besides just straight-up dying. fuck." [They go back inside and hide somewhere to dry off. I am not leaving that to RNG.]

[Tophat_E]

>..pick up the hair, THEN reexamine it.

> Oh, and Examine the broom.

[artsyGeek]

> Investigate the area surrounding the corpse

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

>dry yourself off at least (Chili)

You're still dripping wet.

>also investigate that broom Sho found (Chili)

It's a broom. Made specifically from your cleaning needs.

[Kennifer]

"I dunno, maybe they just wanted to make sure they didn't leave one of their own hairs or something? This whole thing is confusing as hell."
