[Mafia] Close Circle 2

[Kennifer]

"Like I said, paranoid."

>...are there any random dust-containing blenders in anyone else's houses?

[PopcornPie]

>What could've been used to pull out the Cappers' teeth?

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

>...are there any random dust-containing blenders in anyone else's houses? (Mila)

You checked every blender in the rest of the houses. But instead of simply looking into them, you throw them onto the floor hard, like they're wine glasses at a Bar Mirzvah. They all break. But on the plus side, none of them had any dust.

What could've been used to pull out the Cappers' teeth? (Lucky)

For some strange reason, you check one of the rifles and end up shooting yourself in the leg.

[Caret]

Steve snickers at Lucky!

"Ouch! You should have bought <Gun Handling Lesson>!

> search for even more footprints

[Kennifer]

"Okay, no more dust, and... no more smoothies either I guess. Guess I had some anger to get out there. Doesn't help us any though and I'm wondering if the dust was from the fire or something? Yeah, still fuckin confused about that shit."

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

> search for even more footprints (Steve)

You found footprints at Lindsey's house, around Sparxxx's den and ending at Mila's house with the burnt pair of shoes.

[Florien]

So the burnt shoes in Mila's house are the ones used here to track around everywhere.

Okay, so that's another polyplicate evidence item. Ugh.

[Kennifer]

"Fuckin dead ends and needlessly complex bullshit..."

> Is there any of the dust left? Could it be ash or something from the fire?

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Is there any of the dust left? Could it be ash or something from the fire? (Mila)

You get the dust in your eyes, blinding you.

[Caret]

"My current <Good Hypothesis> is that the killer had <Hire Help Free!>! 'Cause let's be <Honesty Guaranteed!>, there's no way they would have <WRECKED! Neighborhood Edition> without a sprinkle of <Goons For Less, Inc.>."

"Actually, lemme <Doodle Something>..."

> write something on the note we found earlier and compare the handwriting

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

write something on the note we found earlier and compare the handwriting (Steve)

Your pen's out of ink.

[PopcornPie]

After Lucky's scream of agony and round of heavy curses rose above the cul-de-sac, the rabbit limped back into view. "I'm at a loss, lads. I think we oughta start makin' some canaries sing, if you know what I mean." He sneered and expended the knife on his Paw.

[Kennifer]

Mila is going to

>try to find a place to wash the dust out of her eyes

[PopcornPie]

> Any dust left in the blender? It could be cigarette dust, or drugs, or gunpowder...

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

try to find a place to wash the dust out of her eyes (Mila)

You find the bathroom sink to clean it out, though you are teary-eyed.

> Any dust left in the blender? It could be cigarette dust, or drugs, or gunpowder... (Lucky)

There is dust left and it seems rubbery and metallic.

[Kennifer]

"Shit, I can't get anything going right today."

[Florien]

Lindsey lets out a loud, extremely performative sigh.

Lucky, you'd better not be serious about torture for information extraction. People have been saying "torture is stupid for reliable information extraction" for literal millennia. Fucking Aristotle said, and I quote "No, torture isn't going to get you reliable information dumbass why the fuck would you think that?" (you see, Aristotle was very passionate about that.)  Torture condemns the innocent, if they happen to have less will to lie than the guilty, and it actively fails in other ways.

Torture is only good for a few things, and what you're recommending is not one of those things.

Anyway, next on the agenda, I'm going to do a backflip for no reason because that's going to achieve more than touching the evidence and watching it explode.

>Do an EPIC BACKFLIP for NO REASON

[Kennifer]

"Got to agree with that, torture's not gonna help anything but make the one doing it look bad. But I dunno why we're all fucking up the evidence and shit today. It's like some clumsy virus is going around."

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

>Do an EPIC BACKFLIP for NO REASON (Lindsey)

Pretty good backflip.

[Florien]

Hell yeah!

Anyway... uhh... we have no real leads and we're all going to die here unless someone else does before us.

[Cassie]

Rubbery and metallic? What does that mean? What appropriate rubbery/metallic stuff could be used in this situation? Gloves? Bullets? Anything else?

[Florien]

It means we have about 48 hours left of investigation, and we've achieved and will achieve nothing with it.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

If you feel like you've done all you can, you can always talk among yourselves and vote off whoever you think is a Yarddog. Or you can simply skip if you want. But if you do that though, no one will be getting Rambo's money.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

(OOC Because of things potentially slowing down, I will shorten the deadline to 9 PM CST tomorrow, so you all have 24 more hours)

[Cassie]

...so do we randomly vote to narrow down potential suspects in the future, or do we skip it to give us more chances to last as long as we can until we get the Yarddog?
