[Fin] Murder in the Mountains (End)

[Zanreo]

"Well, if you have one, that would be helpful" Z replies to Kondraki.

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Once again though, if we base it off of shortness...the hair could have easily been cut short in the attack. Animatronics do have multiple sharp objects. We might not want to base all our evidence off of the shortness of the hair we find.

[TalesofUnder]

...Well, actually, I thought nothing of it at the time, but now, thinking about it, it could be important. See, someone visited me last night... and I believe they had the intention to kill.

[The Soul is somehow able to catch the skeleton and hoist it over their head before it can hit them. They shrink back even further away from Lloyd upon being yelled at, however.] "s-sorry... i wish i could help, but i don't think i can. all i'll do is make it worse..."

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Elaborate, Jean.

". .really? How'd you know?"

[TalesofUnder]

I was told something which I didn't think made sense at the time... but now explains something. I am the One-Shot Bulletproof.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Look at my hair, man! It's black! I know you're not a killer, but I am wondering if you've been lip-locking with your wife so much, you've lost a few brain cells due to a lack of oxygen.

[artsyGeek]

"I'm assuming that's got something to do with how you're still alive."

[Kennifer]

Amy sips her coffee, pondering for a moment.

"Okay, what do we know so far... Freddy got... ugh, dismembered. The only thing found at the scene was a short brownish hair, which could have come from a couple of people, and was confirmed as definitely real hair but is part burnt now and might be hard to find a match. One of the people it could match is Chip, who says he and Ada sent me something last night but I didn't get any gifts that I know of. So either they're lying, they sent it to someone else by mistake, or somebody stopped the gift from getting to me."

She pauses a moment, then continues.

"Lloyd says he thinks Chip and Ada are innocent, but hasn't said how he knows this. There wasn't anything taken from the kitchen, pantry, or closet that was used in the murder. The brown hair could've been plucked, cut, or fallen off naturally, and we'll probably never know 'cause somebody had to go and be all dramatic and burn it. And we've got some people claiming roles, whether or not they're telling the truth remains to be seen."

Amy takes another sip of coffee and ponders all of this.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

You want me to role-claim? I can if you want me to.

[TalesofUnder]

So far, I am forced to throw suspicion onto Kondraki, unless anyone can back them up.

[PointMaid]

Chip sighed. Where even is the line between dark brown and black, anyway? Anyway, I already said I don't suspect you. You were... watching Ada and I, I suppose, not doing a murder.

...Like I said, I'd rather not think of the implications of that, thank you.

[Zanreo]

"So, if you got visited..." Z asks, "Any idea who the visitor was?"

[artsyGeek]

". .again, do you lot want an alibi for me?"

[PointMaid]

". .again, do you lot want an alibi for me?"

It can't hurt, I wouldn't think. As long as it's real.

[psychedelicate]

"It, um... might help..."

Mitsuha glances nervously at the butterflies.

[TalesofUnder]

I am afraid it was too dark to make out much about them.

[artsyGeek]

"Alllright then. I was at the library, testing out what my butterflies could do. Is that enough?"

[TalesofUnder]

Unless anyone can verify that, that is a non-alibi.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

> Check the library

[PointMaid]

...I'm not sure it really is, unless that can be confirmed that you were there all night.

[Cassie]

> Library

Nothing sus

[artsyGeek]

"Yes, I was there the entire night."

". .what else do you want from me?! One of those fucking "role-claims" or whatever they're called?"

[Caret]

"I haven't touched the library last night, so I don't know if Kondraki is being truthful. All that matters to me right now is if everyone is telling the truth. I still wish that I haven't sealed off all of my magic, as that would have greatly helped me with all of this." Nellie lets out a small sigh.
