Close Circle

[KungFuCutbug]

"well, uh... checking to make sure nobody's dead, first off," [Pizzabug bluntly responds to Chili.]

> might as well look for anyone who is. search for corpses

[Kennifer]

A sleepy looking Kim comes out of her room. She's managed to put on her jeans and T-shirt but wow her hair could use a brushing.

[wingedcatgirl]

>Headcount. Specifically, count how many heads remain attached to their shoulders.

[Cassie]

>open all the other doors, check for anyone

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

> The body search

You head into Bedroom 5. You search around until you open up the closet and there it is: the body of Fake Kiryu, hung with a belt around his neck, dangling down from the closet rod.

The amount he had: $300

(Reminder about incentives: If the killer is successfully voted off, the money will be split between the surviving innocents. If an innocent is voted off, the money will be split between the killers. No votes can still be done, but the prize will be forfeit.)

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Chili walks in, and...

...Oh. Oh, that is gruesome. That's just messed up! Hm...might be in bad taste, but. I know we can't grab his wallet, but!

>search the body for other valuables





>....oh yeah. also examine cause of death

[PointMaid]

...Oh damn. Hung?

Um... Any footprints, fingerprints, marks, stains, bruises on the body?

[wingedcatgirl]

"... This looks an awful lot like a suicide, but I get the feeling it is not in fact that."

>search for evidence to confirm this rather obvious hypothesis

[Kennifer]

Kim hears the commotion and runs in...

>help in the evidence hunt holy shit

[Cassie]

"Gah, welp."

> any marks or stains by the belt or closet rod

[KungFuCutbug]

"..."

[...]

"...I probably shouldn't be this nauseous since the crime scene isn't all that gorey, but here I am. obviously, this wasn't a suicide, but... jesus fuck."

> investigate the corpse for signs of a struggle

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

>search the body for other valuables (Chili)

He has a wallet, which you snatch from his pockets. Have you no shame, robbing from a dead man?

>....oh yeah. also examine cause of death (Chili)

But right after you take the wallet, the belt breaks off and the corpse falls on top of you. But after that, you look and see he was strangled to death with the belt.

[TalesofUnder]

AAAAAAAAARGH! THE SPIRITS! THEY GOT HIM! RUN FOR THE HILLS!

[PointMaid]

(Sorry, I meant to do this as an action :P)

> Any footprints, fingerprints, marks, stains, bruises on the body?

[Kennifer]

"AUGH ew ew ew, jeez! You okay there? That was... Ewwwww a dead guy fell on you."

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Chili just yells in disgust. Gah!! Get this thing off of me- She rolls out from underneath the body.

[Cassie]

"Chilli, don't destroy the evidence, dammit!"

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

>search for evidence to confirm this rather obvious hypothesis (Loren)

It's a murder, that's all you can tell.

>help in the evidence hunt holy shit (Kim)

You lose your balance and fall on his corpse. But while picking yourself up, you do notice: there's also a dart that was near his neck.

> any marks or stains by the belt or closet rod (Yukichi)

You're too freaked out to notice anything.

> investigate the corpse for signs of a struggle (Pizzabug)

No signs whatsoever.

[PointMaid]

...Damn. Chili...

Snakeweed does try to help as much as she can.

[KungFuCutbug]

[Pizzabug flinches backwards a little when the corpse falls on top of Chili.] "Chili's not destroying the evidence, dipshit! killers probably rigged it to fall on the first person who got near it to gross 'em out, which... holy shit that's—"

[Okay, yeah, they look like they're about to throw up.]

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

> Any footprints, fingerprints, marks, stains, bruises on the body? (Snakeweed)

You're not seeing anything of that sort.

[PointMaid]

...Crap.

...Did someone say they saw a dart?

> Look at the dart closer. Can you tell anything about it?

[KungFuCutbug]

[Pizzabug tries to regain their composure and look less green in the face, then >helps investigate the dart.]

[Kennifer]

"AUGH GROSS GROSS GROSS EW I FELL ON A DEAD GUY!"

And then she holds up the dart for the others to see while still muttering "ew ew ew" under her breath.

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Chili groans. If the killers rigged this thing to make me look stupid?! I'm gonna kill them! Anyways...hey, pink pig. Stop trembling in fear and help out, alright?!

>examine the door, to see if it was broken into or something
