" SO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS SOMEONE HAS A TAPE FETISH. "

[MadameButterflyKnife]

We must not judge. Anyways-for the shoe comment. I poured the flower water from the vases all over the path outside of the hut. Water sticks onto sand, does it not? A wet shoe would likely have more sand than a dry shoe.

[PointMaid]

...Tape fetish? I'm pretty sure it was Desenari trying to give us all evidence if someone got killed in the night, since she was the one who went and found tape. Of which doors were opened in the night. Clever. A bit ironic her murder is one of those we're investigating.

But yeah, the water thing is clever too. Nice job. You're welcome to look at my feet to see if they're sandy if you want. In the meantime, I'm going to investigate that shed that somebody'd gone into...

> Investigate the random shed where the tape was disturbed (Snakeweed)

You look at the shed and there's a huge mess in there.

[PointMaid]

...Ick

> See if you can find any clues in this mess

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

> See if you can find any clues in this mess (Snakeweed)

All you see is paint.

[PointMaid]

...Paint?

Look, I'm trying, folks. I literally can't die. I'm trying for you all. Anybody else got ideas?

[Zanreo]

"Paint? Oh, I get it! This must be some clever clue! ...Maybe..."

>examine paint

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

>examine paint (Squid Girl)

You trip and fall into the paint. You got it all over you.

[PointMaid]

...Ooch.

> Try to find Squid Girl some soapy water and a towel to wash up. And look for clues in the paint and along the way.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

> Try to find Squid Girl some soapy water and a towel to wash up. And look for clues in the paint and along the way. (Snakeweed)

You give Squid Girl the soapy water and towel. And not counting her tripping earlier, you do notice the paint looks like it was all knocked over the previous night. As in someone tried to head in there but had a nasty fall.

[PointMaid]

...Huh. I wonder if anybody still has any paint stains. They may have tried to wash it out but hopefully they weren't overly successful.

> Anybody (...Other than Squid Girl, obviously) have paint stains on them, ideally of a color that was in the shed?

[Zanreo]

"Agh! T-thanks..." Squid Girl grabs the towel and water and starts cleaning off the stains.

[Zanreo]

* only the stains on herself, just to clarify for sure

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

> Anybody (...Other than Squid Girl, obviously) have paint stains on them, ideally of a color that was in the shed? (Snakeweed)

Come on, focus!

[Zanreo]

>also look for paint stains on anyone... or anything not in the shed

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

>also look for paint stains on anyone... or anything not in the shed (Squid Girl)

You can't seem to focus, either.

[PointMaid]

Ugh... I thought I got rid of that hangover...

[Caret]

Steve emerges from his cabin, looking absolutely dumbfounded.

"I have a <Lovely Confession> to make! I was trying to <Make A Political Statement Today!> on <Al Capone>'s front door with <Paints from Lowe's>, when <random.org> just had to <5 Tips To Become More Clumsy> me and for me to <Covered In Paint Stains> all over this <Island Resorts To Avoid> into <Bob's 5-Star Sheds>!!! That's an <unpog> move, kids. !"

> do you still have paint on yourself?

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

> do you still have paint on yourself? (Steve)

As you examine yourself, some paint which is still on you hadn't completely dried and you splash it right into your eyes, temporarily blinding you.

[PointMaid]

...Oh, Eru. Who actually believes this guy?

[Caret]

Ouch, Steve's eyes flicker rapidly as he blindly runs around the beach, looking for anything to get the paint out of his digital body.

"Danger! DANGER!!!!!: <Foreign Object in Optical Sensing Programs> <AH! UGH! IT BURNS!> WHERE's THE <WaTeRrrrrrrrr??????>"

> look for some freshwater and flush the paint out of your eyes

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

> look for some freshwater and flush the paint out of your eyes (Steve)

You nearly come close to the ocean to try to wash that off, but then you happen to step on a jellyfish who stings you.

[Caret]

"[GOD DAMN IT I GIVE UP]"

> try opening the container

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

> try opening the container (Steve)

You have opened the container. Looks like there's something in there.
