Bottled Time

[PointMaid]

Jay? Touching your own chin I can understand, but your prints were on the... crate and laser gun? Do you have an explanation?

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Well, I don't know how they could have gotten on that crate. I was sleeping that night.

[TalesofUnder]

Now, now, EJL... you wouldn't happen to be dirty Kronos scum, would you?

[MadameButterflyKnife]

UNLESSS YOUR HANDSS ARE DETACHABLE OR SSOMETHING, FLORAN'SS NOT BUYING IT.

Cool Sendri heads into Jay's tent.

>search the tent for any evidence that Jay was dragged out or otherwise manhandled. demonhandled? whatever

[Kennifer]

"Well, the gun's in his chin, so that's not as weird as the crate... You sure you didn't need any kind of supplies or anything?"

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

No, of course not.

[Weirdguy149]

Dipper offered his hands with a smirk and a wink.
"YOU GUYS SHOULD KNOW THAT I'M NEW HERE AND THEREFORE I COULDN'T HAVE DONE WHATEVER THE HELL THIS IS, RIGHT?"

[KungFuCutbug]

[Remembering Dio's prints allegedly being on the match, Luke decides to do something fairly bizarre but probably necessary...]

> fingerprint Jay himself, all over, to search for signs of manhandling

[TalesofUnder]

>Any evidence of Jay being manhandled? (3)

Nope.

[PointMaid]

I would like to believe you, but I'm not sure I do.

Pinky just pouts and looks disappointed.

[Kennifer]

> Any extra supplies in Jay's tent that could provide a reason he might've opened the crate?

[TalesofUnder]

>Any crate supplies in his tent? (4)

No. Even if there was, the matchbox and gloves are the only things missing from the crate.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

> Print the matchbox (if it hasn't been done already since I don't remember jack shit)

[TalesofUnder]

>Print matchbox (2)

You are thwarted by a tumbler glass full of whiskey on the rocks knocking you silly.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

The roll of the dice are not on my side!

> Try again for printing matchbox

[KungFuCutbug]

“What dice?” [Oops, I forgot to give FLuke the ability to break the fourth wall. ...Eh, whatever, he doesn't need it.]

[PointMaid]

Something's not quite matching up, forgive the pun... why the gloves, when we found prints? And which was used to start the fire, the laser gun or the match?

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

I don't know what I'm saying; that kerosene I drunk earlier really screwed up my brain.

[Kennifer]

"I'm so confused! Or maybe I had too much wine."

[Dookie]

”What happened when I was asleep? I still-“

“Here, I'll tell you.”

She whispers in his ear.

“...Oh. This still makes no sense, though.”

[KungFuCutbug]

“There's even a slim chance that they were both used to start the fire, provided the rebels were uncoordinated enough or simply lacked communication for some reason or another.”

[MadameButterflyKnife]

WAIT. HMMMM...

>were some of Dio's shoes stolen? check to see if some of his shoes were stolen

[TalesofUnder]

>Matchbox prints (4)

There are no prints on the matchbox.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

What started the fire? That's a good question.

> What started the fire

[Oggy123]

"This is getting intense..."
