You can't do it either. He's turning purple! Well.... a heavier shade of purple than he normally is. That can't be good.
> Ugh, fineee. He'll save the snail's life (Sho)
You did it, it's lodged out of him, but it ricochets off the wall and hits you in the eye.
RE: Close Circle - Tophat_E - 09-02-2021
“GAH!”
Sho holds his eye. “WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?”

Escargoon lets off a string of expletives, all audibly censored with bass-boosted "PUYO"s

You miss his head and hit his shell instead, hurting your hand badly.
>Examine the ring. Does it look like the one you sold to Slick Eddie? (Soseki)
Doesn't look like anything that was sold to Slick Eddie.

[Pizzabug watches as Soseki retrieves the ring from Sho.] "...hm. I have an idea. Soseki, can you put the ring on? maybe if we find out whose finger fits it, we might be closer to finding a cop." [A pause.] "...'course, could be another frame job. or it could be completely irrelevant to the investigation and only put here to send us on a wild goose chase. but I'd say it's worth a shot."

...That's worth a shot, yeah.

You wisely decide to clean up the strychnine so no one else has to worry about inhaling the stuff. Good thinking there.
> What does the ring look like, anyway? (Snakeweed)
Looks like a ring.
RE: Close Circle - Mr. Lee Hammer - 09-02-2021
>Put the ring on, preferably WITHOUT choking on it (Soseki)
You put it on and yeah, it's on.
RE: Close Circle - Tophat_E - 09-02-2021
Sho growls at Escargoon.
"YOU BETTER WATCH YOUR ASS, YOCTOPASCAL!"
Sho takes a deep breath, attempting to wipe his eye and not let the snail get to him (despite it being his own backfiring actions), and just observe the investigation.

> does the ring look loose on Soseki's finger? tight? (Pizzabug)
It fits him tightly, but it's an adult size ring, so of course it would.
RE: Close Circle - PointMaid - 09-02-2021
...Why are you yelling at the snail, Sho? It almost choked and died.
RE: Close Circle - Tophat_E - 09-02-2021
He rolls his eyes and picks up where that stupid snail left off - examining the ring.
RE: Close Circle - KungFuCutbug - 09-02-2021
"...maybe that wasn't as foolproof of a plan as I thought."

You probably shouldn't have held it too close as you hit yourself in the eye and your drop the ring.
RE: Close Circle - Mr. Lee Hammer - 09-02-2021
> Also examine the ring. (Sho)
You are much more successful however. You remember hearing about these. It's actually one of those old poison rings used a long, long time ago.
RE: Close Circle - KungFuCutbug - 09-02-2021
"ow." [Pizzabug rubs their eye for a second.]
RE: Close Circle - Tophat_E - 09-02-2021
He laughs at the Pizzabug. "Shoulda watched out for its trap, Zettagram."
Pizzabug moved up on the rankings!! He's a zettagram now!!
"It's a poison ring. Say, you should go grab masks before we look at it more."
RE: Close Circle - PointMaid - 09-02-2021
...POISON ring? Yeah, that makes... that makes sense.
What do you mean by a mask?
RE: Close Circle - Tophat_E - 09-02-2021
"A mask. To not breathe in any probable strychnine." He rolls his eyes as if this was common knowledge.
RE: Close Circle - PointMaid - 09-02-2021
...Well, yeah. That would be good.
