[Dangan] Free Association: Part One. Day 6: "Graduation Day"

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Evil Jay goes back to the others.

All I got is the construction worker who got killed was last seen alive with Pete Romero, another construction worker. But he's not talkin'.

[Kennifer]

OH Y34H TH4T GUY

C'3ST DOMM4G3 >:[

Terezi didn't get it really, since she thought that catching the killer, or killers, would be a good thing. and she knew she'd be up for giving any information she had that would bring someone to JUST1C3.

...she was also getting hungry, so she'll pull a croissant out of her hammerspace and nom.

[Dookie]

”Alright. So this killer guy goes around randomly shooting people every night…they must not have a night job.”

> Are there any jobs in the city that would allow for the killer to be off at the time they kill?

[Florien]

Jobs that allow the killer to be off at night? [4]: You've just described pretty much every job. Day shifts are more common than night shifts.

[Dookie]

Alright then. Snap wasn't having much luck, but he had an idea.

A pretty bad idea.

> Can you find anyone who knew Jane Doe?

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

> See if I can get an address for Pete Romero and get a warrant to search where he lives

[PointMaid]

Yeah... I'm suspicious of the guy, too. Honestly, for night work... I wouldn't be that surprised if it was a night worker and they were slipping off for a few minutes to do this.

> Go with EJL to get a warrant for Romero and search his place, if we can

[PointMaid]

I mean, Romero was seen close with Jane Doe and this other victim? Something's not right there.

[Kennifer]

1F 1T W4S JUST J4N3 DO3 1T M1GHT B3 4 CO1NC1D3NC3 BUT TH1S 1S K1ND OF SK3TCHY

Plus his not wanting to help? Yeah... this smells more sus than the pepper guy, who just smells... spicy.

[Cassie]

> assist Five and EJL

[The Map Maker]

>Investigate the arms dealer.

[Subparman]

>...Are we sure it was Romero? Check again for this Pete, just in case

>And take a crack at the security camera thing again while you're at it

[Cassie]

Anaheim baps Kai memetically.

"You fucking idiot, of course Pete and Romero's the same!"

[Florien]

Find people who knew Jane Doe (with the asking of the questions being implicit.) [7]: You do that and find out that she'd been talking a lot recently. Claimed she'd uncovered some "big conspiracy", but most people just assumed she was off her head.

Three people out for a warrant: You all badger Seko to get you one, and eventually she tosses an unfilled one out and tells you to fill it. Your forgery is good enough, and you can easily bluff your way into Romero's place. Together, you search, and find out that Romero has a place in one of the flophouses in the Catkin.

Arms dealer! [5]: They sell guns and ammunition of questionable legality and a wide variety of types. There's a lot of workers there too, at least twenty or thirty of them.

Check again about that Pete [6]: You ask the Bartender politely whether or not Pete's last name is Romero. It is. They are the same person. Also, you go for the security cameras successfully... [7]: and it turns out that there isn't much footage. The cameras get turned off at 2 AM, which is closing time for the bar, and the murder happened later.

[artsyGeek]

> More inquiries! I.e ask the people in town (if one could even call it that) if they've seen any suspicious activities in Block 7 the night before

[Cassie]

Once Anaheim hits the flophouse, >he starts making pizzicato noises with the tongue of his torso jaw out of frustration.

[TenOfSwords13]

Fischer returns to the catkin, refreshed

Did I miss anything? She says to anyone there.

[Florien]

Make mouth noises [2]: Well, that's just disappointing.

Ask people... [1]: NO MORE QUESTIONS!!!

Scott is attacked by an angry civilian, who pulls out a gun and fires. [6+2] vs. [9]. The shot misses.

[artsyGeek]

"wAH-"

After calming himself from the attack, he glares back at the civilian. "W- H. . Hey! D-don't you know that's rude . .?!"

[Cassie]

>look throughout the flophouse for any intriguing details

[Florien]

SHUT THE FUCK UP! NO MORE QUESTIONS! [10]: He fires twice into the air, and takes aim again...

Look through the flophouse for details. [2]: You have a warrant, yep, everything's in order... oh wait, the door's locked.

[artsyGeek]

> RUN THE F U C K AWAY.

[Cassie]

"Oh fuck you lock"

Anaheim pulls out a knife and >opens the lock by cutting it up.

[Cassie]

*cuts an opening into the door, not cut the lock

[Florien]

Scott takes a defensive tack, and tries to escape. [6]. This doesn't work out so great... as the civilian is clearly a pretty good shot, even in pursuit. [7]. Difference is +1 for the Civilian, as he fires again, the bullet grazing Scott's arm...

Meanwhile, Anaheim is trying to cut a door open with a knife. [4]: This is going about as well as you would expect a normal knife against a decent quality solid wood door to go. Lovely scratch marks, but it doesn't look like you're getting very far through the door.
