I should probably mention that each of us are missing our 5th Piece of Evidence on this list (although they're all on the spreadsheet).

ED3T: What are you doing with a hemalurgic earing anyways?

Thanks and fixed. This is what I get for copy-pasting from a spreadsheet that I copy-pasted from QF 33.

[OOC: No wonder I kept wondering why the second column looked off, but was too tired to process >>]

I’m probably gonna not make a chart this time tbh

[OOC: I didn't find them that helpful. I preferred working on spreadsheets. I stand by what I said last game, it really wasn't a good way of sharing data. So yeah, not do it? :P ]

Edit:

Some of the other investigators were praising the Ja. Aurel wasn't so sure about that. If the Ja was all-knowing, why couldn't he have prevented his death?

His hand went to the strange, lozenge-shaped medallion he kept in his vest pocket.

Warmmha grant that we find the Ja's killer, he thought. He hoped the Aracle was up to the task.

Ill be honest some of these evidences are very funny like one of mine is Hog am I just carrying around a whole pig with me is that what this is am I the pig guy now but it is kind of neat I got both the Hammer and the Tar Lined Bag like thats actually a narratively satisfyinig match right there

 

As a Ghostblood operative on Threnody, Ajeni had gotten used to causing bloodless harm. Poison, distance, tar and hammers, and Soulcasting kept the shades at bay. There wasn't much going on in the area, so they'd recently taken up painting. It wasn't very good.

Clearly I’m normal. Everyone carries some chull dung with them, right? Just in case. 

So there’s four evil people now instead of three? Shouldn't make a huge difference as we only need to find the assassin

Aurel Kourakis ate his cup noodles. It was very soupy. That was the best that could be said of it. That, and the fact it was warm, which was comforting in a room full of kayana people who were insisting that they were all evil because they carried red flags or chull dung or prayed via Hemalurgic earrings.

Personally, Aurel liked to think that Warmmha spoke to him via the lozenge medallion. So perhaps he shouldn't cast stones.

The more he thought about it though, the more he wondered if the Aracle...if people weren't too quick to take the back-up, the Aracle as being genuine. He hadn't seen any sign of the Aracle's powers, and no one mentioned the Aracle at the Silverlight Police Academy. It was always 'the Ja' this and 'the Ja' that. 

But the classic case studies always said an officer had to pay attention to who stood to gain. Who benefited from the Ja's death?

It was like being the back-up singer for a rock band, Aurel thought. They'd had one when he was a kid. Called Knife of Day or something just as edgy. Thing was, the back-up singer never liked being back-up. Everyone wanted the spotlight, one way or another.

So how about this: maybe the Aracle had the Ja killed. Maybe they should look into him.

[OOC: @Araris Valerian, is the Aracle a valid suspect? This isn't an Accusation yet but I'm starting to suspect the Aracle killed the Ja with the Homicidal Bus Driver Method. Speculating between the Wooden Splinter and the Torn Ledger Page as the Key Evidence here. I'm guessing the Torn Ledger Page would've rustled in the wind from the bus - probably from a rental ledger or something of that sort. But I could also see the Wooden Splinter as having been jarred from a thwacking staff during some extreme bus driving.]

Allswell spotted Aurel sipping at soup noodles, and immediately felt hungry. He sniffed out the vending machine and bought a cup, and was happily sipping at it when he found a seat near the back of the room. The tools in his pocket clinked, and he frowned. He pulled out a roughly spoon-shaped one, grinned, and began using it to eat the noodles.

This was definitely an interaction between two ordinary officers, neither of whom could have remotely done something as morally repugnant as murdering the Ja*, which Aurel still theorised had been done by this Aracle himself.

*For legal reasons, it is worth remembering that Aurel is new out of the Silverlight Police Academy.

Alpha J. Dilafa wore white on the day he was to mourn a death. And… he didn’t feel very mournful. The Ja had been a thorn in his side for ages. But that was over now.

Finally, Alpha could make good on his plans.

*is suspicious* *looks again* *is very suspicious*


Somehow I have breath. Can kandra have those? Is that even legal?


Amoeba had a problem. She was trying to make a full humanoid skeleton out of bones all collected from different species, and she still hadn't found any finger substitutes. Life was hard sometimes.

Also, the Ja was dead, and she was apparently supposed to help solve his murder.

Amoeba didn't know anything about the Ja other than that people worshipped him. How could she possibly be helpful?

I can’t tell if you’re being sarkastic with this statement xD Do you find the interaction suspicious? 
 I’ve just thought of an INSANE elim strategy for this game but that’ll have to wait till an indefinite period of time. Watch out tho. :ph34r:
