Life's A Beach

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

That is correct, Seth. One vote for each of the two people you think is a murderer.

[KungFuCutbug]

Tch. Typical. You, my friend, are worthless by yourself, slacker. But I betcha if we worked TOGETHERRR~, in like, a collab or something, we could accomplish like, sooo many great things! Like, y'know, finding the murderer! Y'know what I'm saying? [Peanut, that is not how you make connections.] Anyway, enough of that, I got better things to do.

>investigate that switchblade we found—is there anything interesting about it?

[Huney]

"... Ay! Squirrely! I'm tellin's ya, I can...

>man whatever, just tape up the floor in your own in a hair hunt.

[Kennifer]

"I mean I am pretty clumsy, sorry. But working together, sure. Why not? Two pairs of eyes are better than one."

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

>investigate that switchblade we found—is there anything interesting about it? (4)

Nothing that immediately pops out to you.

>man whatever, just tape up the floor in your own in a hair hunt.

Can't find anything.

[KungFuCutbug]

>is there anything we could use to dust it for fingerprints? you're not touching it until you get an answer

[SapphireStarblazer]

"That's quite the interesting question... Whatever you are."
A tiny voice, addressing Kirby, presented itself from the top of a shelf.
"...So does anyone have a better method of transportation for a small bug like us?  We must've spent at least an hour in the vents."

[Kennifer]

"Oh hey, you didn't tell me you found a weapon."

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

>is there anything we could use to dust it for fingerprints? you're not touching it until you get an answer (6)

You manage to find a fingerprinting dusting kit.

[KungFuCutbug]

I... Thought you knew? I mean it was like, THE first thing I noticed when I came in here, slacker.

>dust the switchblade for fingerprints

[Huney]

"A switchblade?! Man, reminds me a da one Vinny the Backscratcher used! See, he was called dat cuz his back always itched."

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

>dust the switchblade for fingerprints

You don't see anything.

[Kennifer]

"I didn't get here til later. Slow elevator, you know. I'm NOT about to risk the stairs after what happened to Gundham..."

>Attempt to assist in fingerprinting.

[KungFuCutbug]

...No prints? Not even like, paw prints or glove prints or something?

>wait, was there even any blood on the weapon

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

>Attempt to assist in fingerprinting. (3)

You try, but all you do is get in Peanut's way.


>wait, was there even any blood on the weapon (3)

You don't see any blood.

[Kafkaesque]

> you know what, sweep every stairwell in the hotel. Just in case. JUST IN CASE.

[Kennifer]

"I'll just go over here and watch, then. Sorry about that... ugh, deja vu of fucking up crime scenes, I swear..."

[KungFuCutbug]

...Déjà vu? [Peanut raises an eyebrow as a question mark appears over her head.] You've like, done this before?

[PointMaid]

Look... we can just see your fur, Sandy. So I'm just going to look. Closely.

> Check Sandy's fur (especially tail fur) against the brown fur found. Are they a match?

[Kennifer]

Amanda nods.

"Yeah. I was supposed to be an investigator too, believe it or not. Kept having bad luck after bad luck. It's... a long story, but this whole... 'killing game' thing, this isn't my first one."

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

> you know what, sweep every stairwell in the hotel. Just in case. JUST IN CASE. (7)

Nothing you found that hasn't already been found.

> Check Sandy's fur (especially tail fur) against the brown fur found. Are they a match? (8)

It's a match.

[KungFuCutbug]

Aahhhh, so you know what you're doing, slacker! It's great that I have someone with experience in this sort of thing on my side! Tres magnifique! [She winks at Amanda at the last part.]

[MadameButterflyKnife]

>investigate Sandy's fur for any tampering; is there any scissor marks or anything? clipping?

[Kennifer]

Amanda just kind of... freezes for a second.

"...sorry, the French just... The one guy who hosted the other game was French. But yeah, I guess. I mean, I know how to investigate, but like I said... bad luck, clumsiness... those don't help. I hope you're more coordinated than I am."

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

>investigate Sandy's fur for any tampering; is there any scissor marks or anything? clipping? (1)

Unfortunately for you, when you look at her fur, your allergies act up really badly, leading you to a sneezing fit that prevents you from looking at her further.
