"Yugi, you're not keeping us happy, or anything like that! You're scaring, and or, bothering the heck out of us right now!"

"The telescope..." Hella thinks outloud to herself. "Was probably used to aim their escape, maybe even used as battering ram by the culprit in fear they would injure themselves if they just crashed into Sissus' bubble."

Yugi gets very eager to respond right back to Ige and tries for a moment to stop herself. Eventually she gives in, "Well, I guess I'm going to have to do a better job comforting everyone, huh?" Her voice is playful.
She thinks about what Hella said, "I think the most powerful part of the telescope is casting a spell from far away! That means that the crime could have been done from anywhere! Since it's so powerful!"

"Sure, they could have used the telescope to cast the spell, but the culprit was already in the building, as was the telescope. What spell would they have used that would require such range? Why take it to Sissus?"

“But then we need to consider the possible line of sight.” Mikoto chimes in. “I was thinking the same at first, but we need to consider possible vantage points. If the statue is placed on the rafters of the kitchen, then no matter where you stand could you see it with the telescope.”
Mikoto sighs. “Since it seems like the damage on the upper floor isn’t recent, it’s likely that the killer would’ve had to cast this spell from the middle of space, or from within that room.”
“This also means the telescope would’ve been taken away well before the crime, which means they’d have to pass it onto our cloaked friend. It seems less likely the more I think about it.”

"The culprit must have thought that Sissus would be a good hiding spot! Otherwise the cloak and telescope could have been left on Sahra, right? They must;ve thought they were the only person who knew how to get in there!"

“Or it was the safest place to dispose of it without being caught naked.”
“Once the cloak is off, if spotted, they would be pickled like cabbage. Nobody would be wandering planet Sissius even if they knew how to get there. It was the safest place to shed one’s skin.”

"The culprit must have thought that Sissus would be a good hiding spot! Otherwise the cloak and telescope could have been left on Sahra, right? They must;ve thought they were the only person who knew how to get in there!" "Also, most of us knew about the existence of the bubble's weak point anyways. All this means is you think the killer is amongst those who didn't witness my little accident, right?"

“Which would then mean they discovered it on their own, through desperate attempts to meet face to face with our fishy friend, or one of you all told them. Which would mean they were aware they were not the only one who knew..”

"Okay, well that doesn't seem to be a good hint! We don't know enough to say for sure why anything would be dumped there! And we don't know if someone from outside our group knew about it somehow! So let's try to focus on the crime itself!"
"It seems the killer snuck into the building through the second floor, but we didn't see them during our practice! Maybe they were in too start with or they were let in by Neuron!"

“If someone was waiting the whole time, then that narrows it down to the four of us absent from the festival preparations.” Mikoto nods. “But then, that creates the issue with them penetrating Sissius.”
They cross their arms again. “I feel like it’s potentially more likely they were there quickly for a stop by, coming into the kitchen to help and being let in by Neuron doesn’t seem too unreasonable if they were already known to be helping with the festival preparations.”

Yugi fluffs her hair as she scratches her head in thought, "Boy Mikoto, we're having a tough time, aren't we? Seems like the biggest contradiction of the case is that it had to have been done by people with a lot of time on their hands, but you guys didn't know about half of this stuff!"
"But, if we assume that you guys just somehow learned everything, does that solve the case?"
"Like, Hawk searched around this place for days! He could have learned about teh secret of Sissius if he was doing his job right!"

The teen in the jean jacket shakes her head fervently, "Oh, wow! I didn't mean it like that! Maybe he missed it! We don't know if he would have found it for sure, but he was specifically exploring! So in that way he could have found it!"

"With the way the planets orbit, is it possible for the telescope to have been launched from the window out into space, and directly into Sissus's bubble? It would be quite the physics equation."
|

Post by Doctor Nanjo M.D. on Mar 30, 2023 12:25:39 GMT
Yugi laughs, “I guess with the orbits, a lot of things are possible! More likely than that, perhaps like Bruce, our killer’s familiar could have taken the telescope to planet Sissus! Though if someone saw the familiar that could be bad…”
“What if the cloak was tied around a familiar?”

Post by NIKI on Mar 30, 2023 14:20:14 GMT
"Tied on the familiar? Ooh, that's tricky... Do you think they did that to make us think they were in the building, but were actually far away casting the spell...? Does that make sense?"

“It could be! That could change who has an alibi as well…” Yugi smirks, looking around at the others.
“Well, let’s use some magic to figure out how to start, shall we? Seems like anyone had an opportunity to try it so let’s cast a spell ritual thing!”

"Before that, I have a question for everyone." Mikoto clears their throat. "This telescope idea, using it to see from afar, to cast a spell... is it even possible?"
"What I mean to say is, if the little Sissius statue was resting on the rafters, like we're theorizing, before it was used for murder... does anyone know if there's an angle to see it through the window? Is that even possible?"
"I'd imagine that, given the damage on the floor on the second level being recent, it would not be able to wait on the second floor directly. The question I want answered is if you could even see the rafters from outside the building. If an angle exists to see it through a window. Did anyone check during our investigation?"

The players all thought back to their investigation of the crime scene building. There was no angle you could have viewed the top of the rafter from, if you were outside the building.

“That’s a good point! Then due to how we think the crime was done, the killer must have been in the building then! The telescope was used for something else…”

"Isn't it possible that Mr. Itsunoi wasn't killed by the statue, but died some other way and the statue was used to make it look like he was killed by the enlarged statue, like I have theorized earlier?" Calvin wondered.

"Maybe he was shot, and the statue smashing him ta bits was to cover that up," Caitlin guessed. "But it doesn't really matter, does it? We're still in the same spot."
If this was mentioned earlier I'm sorry.

"If Mr. Itsunoi was shot, then why haven't we tested the gun to see if it was fired recently?" Calvin asked the others.
|

Post by wintercoat on Mar 30, 2023 17:28:40 GMT
"Probably because it wasn't even a thought, your gun wasn't fired, and the gun Neuron had was a dummy." She paused. "Unless your gun WAS fired, but then... ah, it's probably too late to even prove that. Or is it? I dunno."

"He had two guns, though." Mikoto chimes in. "One fake, one genuine."

Post by wintercoat on Mar 30, 2023 17:36:33 GMT
"Well, I must be a fuckin' eejit. If he had two guns maybe he was shot with the second one. Again, though, I don't really feel like that moves us in any direction."

"Yeah, that's why I asked why we haven't checked to see if the genuine gun was fired recently. Which is exactly what I meant," Calvin nods in agreement with Mikoto.
"... Hang on... What if that wasn't Mr. Itsunoi's gun? Could the gun actually belongs to the killer? If so, why make a dummy gun? Was the killer threatening someone into helping them do things their way by using the dummy gun? From a distance, you wouldn't tell it was a dummy gun." He asked the others.

"I was thinking they just dropped the dummy gun on the floor to get mister Itsunoi to stand in the right place." Faye spoke up. "Doesn't really get us anywhere though, so I didn't think it was important enough to bring up."

Post by JaytheBluPirate on Mar 30, 2023 17:51:18 GMT
"Actually, maybe the sound Su-Ah heard might been the dummy gun falling from the second floor to the first floor?" Calvin theorized. "But that wouldn't explains why Mr. Itsunoi have both the genuine gun and the dummy gun on his body..."
