Last Summer

[PointMaid]

...Yeah, I already said that, thanks!

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Then, Sharles pauses. Dude, blood's like, 50% water. I don't think blood would burn.

[Kennifer]

ii mean ii thought iit wa2 e2tablii2hed that iit had two have been u2ed before iit wa2 burnt, becau2e iit ii2 no longer u2able, and you don't have cut2 that would iindiicate you bleediing on iit whiile de2troyiing iit.

or am ii mii22iing 2omethiing here?

[KungFuCutbug]

[You can faintly hear a relieved "oh thank god Counce's back" from inside the office.]

[MadeOfMilk]

The Counselor walks into the room in a... rather silly manner. A Silly Walk, if you will.

What's wrong, don't like the new decor? Killjoys, all of you!

[Dookie]

Quinn wakes up and immediately notices the corpse.

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHOHSHITJSBBWHTJRJTHEYKILLEDTHEMSELVES WHAT THE HELLLLALALALLALALALALAAAAAAAAAA-

[PointMaid]

Yeah, someone damn... skinned them and strung them up. It's not helping my appetite.

> Can you tell what kind and size knife the destroyed knife was before destruction? Can you tell what size and/or type knife must have been used to do... that... to the Tempest system?

[MadeOfMilk]

> Investigate knife kind/size and cut marks

Sadly, it's impossible to tell what size and kind of knife was used to flay the Tempests. However you do notice, upon closer inspection, that some parts of the skin look torn off rather than cut off.

[Dookie]

> Investigate how the sk8n was dismemb-nope. Can't do it.

Instead, Quinn's going to clear up some things.

“Did someone kill her?”

[Kennifer]

obviiou2ly 2omeone el2e kiilled them, ii don't thiink 2omebody can flay them2elve2, hang theiir corp2e by the ankle2 and naiil theiir own 2kiin two the wall.

[Zanreo]

"Right, seems obvious this was done by someone else! But who... uggh, who would do such a thing..."

[PointMaid]

> Examine the torn part more closely. Can you tell anything by how it's torn?

...Um. We have not only somebody flaying folks, but tearing their skin, like, maybe with their hand or something. What the hell.

[Weirdguy149]

"Like I said, this is definitely some Leatherface handiwork. However, I think he's dead, it's real unclear, so we may have a copycat on our hands here."

[Kennifer]

ii dont recall anyone called leatherface here but iif 2omebody ii2 a fan that could be 2omethiing two look at. or iit could be a weiird coiinciidence. but maybe not a2 weiird a coiinciidence a2 that liibre guy2 kniife and zapper haviing blood all over them.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Dale wakes up and upon seeing the Tempests's skinned corpse:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! , screaming in a very loud, high and shrill manner, like a little girl. He takes a couple minutes to catch his breath.

WHO DID THIS??!!

[PointMaid]

...That's what we're trying to figure out. Libre said he trashed his knife and little shocky thing so they couldn't be used, but they were found in shards kinda near the body, and... had blood on them. And we can't find another knife. I tried to figure out at least what type of knife was used for this work, but no dice.

> Check the body for cause of death. Any other wounds than the skin being ripped off?

[Florien]

Big Ben finally shows up to inspect the scene. His reaction is extreme revulsion.

EEEUGH! Who would do such a foul deed? Strung up like that and flayed? It's like in those reprehensible southern states! My Grandfather would drink TWICE as much hard cider if he had seen this before his mysterious death! We must find this killer, by god! And quickly, before another strike is made! And you say this "Libre" person's equipment was found near the corpse? Sounds like an obvious framing job. Far TOO obvious. I suspect Libre planted that stuff there to make it look like an unsubtle framing attempt!

Big Ben points accusingly at Libre.

Can you refute this?

[Kennifer]

liibre2 2tory doe2 not 2eem two liine up wiith what weve found but iim wiilliing two delay my vote iif 2omethiing el2e 2u2piiciiou2 come2 up. iit doe2nt look two good for hiim though.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Yeah, I agree. It'd hurt us if we get too hasty.

[PointMaid]

Selen(ium) just nods in agreement.

[Dookie]

“Alright, so someone killed the Tempests, and now….wait….this is Mafia isn't it.”

[Cassie]

>pay attention to the torn-off pieces; are there gripmarks, and if there are, what size?

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Mafia, huh? You really think the Counselor and their cronies is really the affiliates of some family in Sicily who's wantin' us to sleep with the fishes? It's possible....

Yeah, Dale doesn't get the concept of Mafia games...

[Zanreo]

"Yes... we should probably try to figure out more about this..."

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

> Anything in the claw machine?
