Escape from Zombie Park Island

[TenOfSwords13]

What is it? Thrivey sees the writing on the wall. ... what the fuck is that?

[Guma]

Bodybuilder William Jennings . . . just where art thou, anyway? And . . . where art thou getting this information?

[Kennifer]

"Seems that buff guy with the big cross thinks he knows something 'bout who might be guilty."

[TenOfSwords13]

I think he's... trying his best. I think that he is also a medic, like me, and is making deductions based on his healing patterns. However, he fails to include patience, infections, and other such things into his calculations.

[KungFuCutbug]

[Pico scrambles from his dorm to wherever everyone else is.] “Guys? Guys!? What the fuck's goin’ on?? Just woke up and I heard a bunch of flibbity-jibbity-jibber-jabber comin’ from over here...”

[Guma]

Google Translate hath been tragically murdered. I heardst you were infected last night, and that you have an alibi.

[door-kun]

"As well, Mr. Pico, we are locking up myself and Mr. Thrivey, as it seems we are the prime suspects."

[KungFuCutbug]

“The translator's dead? Shit...” [Pico looks at Hifumi with genuine concern.] “You? Why you? I know you got bit the day before yesterday, but I thought you... Hmph.”

[That's when he notices the message supposedly from WJB on the wall. Seeing nothing better to do, he decides to >compare the handwriting of this message to the one that WJB wrote the other day about Hifumi and see if that gives him a lead...]

[PointMaid]

> Compare handwriting (3)

The handwriting appears to be the same, and it's written in a believably old-fashioned script as would be expected of the politician.

[Guma]

This is incriminating evidence against Thrivey! But we shalt not blindly trust our instincts . . . .

[TenOfSwords13]

It's one man's opinion, please. As I mentioned before, Hifumi could've infected someone, or simply chose not to kill anyone yet.

[Kennifer]

"Makes me wonder what William's role is, how he'd know this..."

[TenOfSwords13]

He is very clearly another medic. I figured that out since his first statement. How else would he be able to accuse people of being zombies at random? It's just a shame that I'm going to be locked up, we could have coordinated our healing...

[KungFuCutbug]

“Alright. Doesn't look like anyone tried to fake the poor bastard's handwritin’... That's gotta be somethin’...” [Not obviously seeing anything else that catches his eye (read: I can't think of anything else to investigate rn), Pico decides to do the challenge just to get it over with. He'll get back to investigating soon.]

1. >use some dodo and thylacine corpses to lure the Archaeopteryx
2. >repeat your tactic from Day 1 and trap the Archaeopteryx in a tall, thick barbed-wire chain-link fence
3. >sedate the creature, hoping that you've improved your aim with a tranq gun since yesterday, and gingerly pluck off a feather with tweezers
4. >...after briefly considering feeding it Google Translate's corpse... immediately reject that, scold yourself for thinking about that, and just give it some more dodos and thylacines to snack on

[TalesofUnder]

“Another medic?” I call bullshit. I'm pretty sure there is only one medic.

[TenOfSwords13]

Is "pretty sure" enough for a conviction though?

[door-kun]

"Sadly, I do not have any role or the like, so I can't help out that much. . "

[PointMaid]

Dr. Frankie slips a bit of paper to Pico with his score:

Pico earned scores of 2, 1, 6 and 1 for a final score of 10. The archaeopteryx ignores the corpses, the barbed-wire fence falls down, and in the final task the archaeopteryx get rather angry when fed corpses. They don't seem to like it. But Pico's aim with the tranq gun, unlike yesterday, is fantastic!

[KungFuCutbug]

[And Pico's right back at the crime scene trying to recover from the embarrassment of... that. At least he's got a better aim than yesterday, but... fucking hell. He should've gone for the live dodos and thylacines instead.]

“...Did I miss anythin’?”

[Kennifer]

"Where is William anyway, I'd like to hear from him how he knew that."

[Dookie]

Elizabeth, meanwhile, has been working on the assignment. While everyone was talking, she:

1. Lured back the animal with meat.
2. Made a nice house for it to live in.
3. Tried to take off a feather without hurting it.
4. And finally, gave it some food.

“Hey guys, what did I miss?”

[Huney]

"... Oh dear, so the killing has begun, has it? I should have known our peaceful times would end... Thrivey, I hate to point fingers, but surely the best way to see who the killer is is by checking the bite marks! If it's a human, you're free. If it's a dragon, it's you. Is that not fair?"

[PointMaid]

Dr. Frankie taps Elizabeth on the shoulder to give her the score:

Elizabeth earned scores of 6, 3, 1 and 6 for a final score of 16. The animal is easily lured back and fed. However, she just can't get a single feather, no matter how hard she tries. The birds snap at her angrily.

[KungFuCutbug]

[Seeing that nobody else has taken up Dr. Coomer's suggestion, Pico decides to >compare the bite marks on Google Translate's body (that weren't a result of Thrivey's fucked-up autopsy) to a human's bite himself, just in case.]

[PointMaid]

Let's see. Can Pico tell what was a result of the autopsy and what wasn't?

> Compare the bite marks: 5

...Apparently he can. And the original bite marks are definitely not human.
