[Mafia] Escape from Zombie Park Island 3

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

> Back out of the way of the fighting and bickering, and instead see if there's a lighter or something around that could've lit a firework. (Nepeta)

Looks like the fighting has cowed you more than you thought; can't seem to focus...

[TenOfSwords13]

>Help Nepetal search

[PointMaid]

>Help Nepeta search

You don't see a lighter in the immediate vicinity. Or discarded. The only things you find are what you'd expect - matches and lighter with candles in the kitchen and storeroom. You don't notice anything out of place about them, though. (...Yes, Illina lit one of the fireworks from the unused box of them in Hitomi's cabin during the investigation earlier. That's just something that Happened. Like she didn't light the cabin on fire. Which she well might have. Don't question it.)

[PopcornPie]

Hordak grew enraged. "I WILL NOT BE COMMANDED TO STAND DOWN. You have all but marked yourself as the killer." He knew how to keep insolent little mortals in line.

[PointMaid]

ATTN: We're adding a voting deadline. 6 pm ET / 5 pm CT (US time) on Tuesday.

[Kennifer]

:33< *ac purromises she will vote but she is getting a headache right meow from all the shouting! these guys are louder than karkat!*

>is there any tylenol or anything

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

>is there any tylenol or anything (Nepeta)

You find some lying around in storage

[Cassie]

Guts grabs Hordak by the collar, and goes right into his face.

"Stand the fuck down."

"Wh-wh-what the fuck!? Hey! What kind of answer, is that!?" Illina lashes, perturbed.

[Despair's Archon of Memes]

Woah... Woah! ... Why can't we just... settle down... and...

[Risdio51]

Insolent? Hit the nail right on the head. But small? At 6'8" and 253 pounds of pure muscle mass, he's anything but. So he complies, swinging his sword right next to Hordak, letting him inspect it all he wants.

[Kennifer]

Nepeta takes some Tylenol, and tries to think.

:33< *ac isn't sure if guts is a zombie but she thinks he s33ms purrty dangerous! she's going to try not to get on his bad side. if ac votes for him she wants efurrybody to know it's just to send him to quarnyantine to keep the others safe.*

She is still staying out of the way because that is very much like something from the dangerous sort of roleplaying that she doesn't do.

[Oggy123]

Bandana Dee just looks from afar, concerned.

[PopcornPie]

"Do not be afraid, small one. I will not let this human kill anyone under my watch." Hordak runs his fingertips up and down Guts's blade, studying it's weight and shape. Then he would peer over to the corpse of Hitomi and study how clean the cut was.

True, the Horde used laser guns, spears, and their own hands for combat. But after he saw She-Ra in action, he could at least recognize a sword-induced slice. Even if Guts's wasn't infused with First Ones Tech.

Heh. First Ones Tech. Just what Entrapta was experimenting with before she-No, Hordak. One issue at a time.

[PointMaid]

> Hordak runs his fingertips up and down Guts's blade, studying it's weight and shape. Then he would peer over to the corpse of Hitomi and study how clean the cut was. (Hordak)

[Note: please use an ">" in front of anything that will need to be rolled and answered by the hosts]

...Hordak will notice that there isn't any distinct cut mark on Hitomi's neck. Her neck is charred and burnt.

[Risdio51]

"See? Nada. I didn't kill her. You're a god, thing, right? I've killed gods stronger than you."

[PopcornPie]

"Then the killer simply blasted her head off, somehow not damaging the body. How is that possible? The rest of the body should have caught fire." But Guts wasn't entirely off his hook yet. "I'm not a 'god', but I have been stomping my enemies down since before you began to swing that sword."

[TenOfSwords13]

Perhaps the sword was not used. Perhaps Guts simply used his arm... cannon... thing. Even with his claims that it would be costly.

[Risdio51]

"Again, this thing is reserved for only the biggest and baddest motherfucking monsters you can see. Using it on many people, that could be of use, but just a single person? It's too high risk, low reward. Especially if I'm trying to go for a stealth kill."

[TenOfSwords13]

Then how did Hitomi die? It can't have been the fireworks, the explosion would likely be far too great, so it stands to reason that you have the weapon for it, unless you can tell me how she died.

[Risdio51]

"I've seen fireworks used in combat, they very much could have blown her face up."

[TenOfSwords13]

And the rest of her as well! There are no burn markings below her head, where you would expect there to be from an uncontrolled explosion.

[Risdio51]

"But what if it wasn't uncontrollable? What if they were deliberately placed in such a position to blow her head to kingdom come?"

[Kennifer]

:33< *ac pawnders if the killer could have cleanly blasted her head off then set off a small firework or two to cofur? it sure s33ms like there was enough control to not burn up her body too! she also thinks guts s33ms to know a lot about how to use weapons like that. she is also still sad that the kitty died, but then she purrks up a bit as she thinks of something! what was hitomi saying befur she died, about who she suspected? ac pawnders if one of them wanted to stop her from getting too close to catching them.*

[TenOfSwords13]

The explosion might have been controlled, perhaps, in an attempt to frame you. But why leave the fireworks there? Why show us how they framed you? I don't think that it was a controlled explosion. I think you shot her, Guts.

[Risdio51]

"Why leave them there? To frame me, of course."
