The Murder Challenge

[Oggy123]

"Gee, that's just a stick bug." Nintendo remarked to Ctharlak.

[Dookie]

(OOC: Srry for going offline too long.)

You find Hypercam, with an arm off, and an arm sliced through his chest. He's dead.

[Oggy123]

"Oh gosh! He's dead!" Nintendo exclaims.

"Eek!" yelled SEGA.

"Whoever did this, he's out there! You'll never get away with this!"

> Are there any clues/evidences around?

[Caret]

Mettaton trudges up to Hypercam and covers his face with his hands.

"OH, WOE! MY FELLOW ROBOT HAS BEEN... SCRAPPED! AS THE PROTECTOR OF ALL ROBOTS WORLDWIDE, I SHALL AVENGE THEE!" Mettaton delivers his lines with a melodramatic tone.

[PointMaid]

Yikes... I'd try to put it back together again, but I bet that sliced through chips and stuff... I don't have any tools... and I'm not a computer repair person.

> Check anyway to see if there's a way to repair Hypercam?

> While you're doing that, check Hypercam itself for any evidence the killer may have left

[Kennifer]

"I know how to use software related to cameras, but not hardware."

Michelle bites her lower lip.

>How was the arm removed? (cut off, ripped off, dismantled with tools etc)

[Despair's Archon of Memes]

>Any way to salvage any footage from Hypercam? He IS a camera, after all...

[PopcornPie]

Entrapta knelt down behind Hypercam, a shadow fallen over her face. Then she looked up at the others with eyes full of venom.

"...I'll kill whoever did this myself."

>Look for the "murder" weapon, aka any tools one would use to take apart a robot.

[Dookie]

> Are there any clues/evidences around? (Oggy)

You don't see any.

> Check anyway to see if there's a way to repair Hypercam? (Point)

It seems to late to repair them.

> While you're doing that, check Hypercam itself for any evidence the killer may have left (Point)

Oh no.

not the dreaded medium-sized footprints!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[PointMaid]

...How did footprints even get on Hypercam anyway? Somebody walked over it?

Selen(ium) rubbed her eyes.

Even if they're from the killer, doesn't help us narrow it down a lot. Could help. A little. Maybe.

[PopcornPie]

Entrapta begins to shiver. Medium sized footprints...she leaves medium-sized footprints! What if the pills didn't work after all?

> Search every room for anything that could have been used to dismantle Hypercam.

[Oggy123]

> Also search the rooms for potential clues.

[Dookie]

>How was the arm removed? (cut off, ripped off, dismantled with tools etc) (Kennifer)

It seems to have been strongly torn off.

>Any way to salvage any footage from Hypercam? He IS a camera, after all... (MP)

There's no way to turn Hypercam on, so no way to receive the footage within.

>Look for the "murder" weapon, aka any tools one would use to take apart a robot. (PP)

It seems to have been torn off only with force.

> Also search the rooms for potential clues. (Oggy)

You come up empty handed.

[PopcornPie]

> Try to find everyone who wasn't present when Hypercam's body was discovered. Coldsteel, Gundam, etc.

[Kennifer]

"So we're looking for someone with enough physical strength to tear off a mechanical arm, and medium sized feet? I wear a woman's size 9 shoe, but I'm kind of a weakling, for the record."

[Dookie]

> Try to find everyone who wasn't present when Hypercam's body was discovered. Coldsteel, Gundam, etc. (PP)

They're there now.

[PopcornPie]

"Would mine fit the bill? I wear these big soles to compensate for my size and the weight from my hair. Then again, four people were around according to Bwywn. Multiple people could have worked together."

[Florien]

Is it too soon to celebrate the fall of the glowie surveillance state? Anyway, strength implies it's a strong sort. Entrapta and ahh... Coldsteel the Horje-hig. Unless it so happens that possession can make people arbitrarily strong. Either way, the hoggidge seems most likely, considering Entrapta took preventative tablets.

[PointMaid]

What makes you think they're stronger than the rest of us? And for the record, I still don't trust that your tablets do what you say they do...

Anyway... > Look around at people's feet. Whose could be classified as 'medium' anyway?

[PopcornPie]

> For that matter, what exactly do the footprints look like? What patterns do they have?

[Florien]

The information we all have about one another that's in the public record, mizheldt. Obviously. Entrapta can lift herself and others with just her noodle-hair, and stalchog obviously is absurdly strong.

[Kennifer]

"We at least know that Entrapta wasn't poisoned by taking the pills, at least not yet. Though that doesn't discount the possibility of them just being a placebo. So, not immediately harmful, but we don't have clear proof they're helpful yet either."

Michelle shakes her head.

"Though now we should probably be focusing on the crime. Uh, what size are the hedgehog's feet?"

>does Coldsteel have medium sized feet lol

[TenOfSwords13]

I would have the strength to commit this act, yet as for feet, it should be obvious to you foolish mortals that such apendages are beneath me. However, I could have also stolen a pair of shoes to make prints with, so I am yet to be cleared of this clearly glorious kill.

And for the tablets the half-mortal is selling... it is very likely that they are merely fakes, that produce no effect.

[Dookie]

> Look around at people's feet. Whose could be classified as 'medium' anyway? (PM)

Oops you rolled a 1. Time for a contrived bad luck thing to happen.

Anyway you fall down the stairs.

> For that matter, what exactly do the footprints look like? What patterns do they have? (PP)

You can't tell what the patterns are.

>does Coldsteel have medium sized feet lol (Kennifer)

From the looks of it, yes.

Selen(ium) dusts herself off and gives a thumbs up. Before she tries standing up and winces. It'll be okay, though... she thinks.
