Well, yes. That's about what you would expect, isn't it?

[hmm. she gives him a considering look.]

Did your simulation have a practice of giving out vague room-based hints to a few individuals shortly after the body is found?

[skyagain]

[ huh. he kind of. stares at her because that sounds like it would be very annoying! but cloud has no appreciation for mod schedules. ]

No. Any evidence could be found the second people woke up on Friday. We let people go back Saturday if they thought they missed something first go around.

[outsidebones]

[god sorry cloud that not everyone can be free at 6 on a friday geez]

...Ah. We never found much on Friday at all. A few people would wander into a room, experience something vague that hinted at evidence to be found there. We would return on Saturday.

[ WHO HAS LIVES? - Cloud Strife, friendless loser ]

... You think it's the same here?

[outsidebones]

Yes, because not long ago I entered the gift shop, and experienced the sensation of my feet sticking to the ground.

[skyagain]

... Sticky feet...?

[ what. ]

You couldn't see anything on there?

[outsidebones]

Nothing, but that is standard for these, and sometimes they are a bit...removed from the actual evidence. It has been suggested perhaps sticky hands were thrown to the floor?

[skyagain]

... Any hope it could be something more useful than that?

[ because that's. hm. ]

[outsidebones]

Certainly. But we won't know until tomorrow. Still, we must be prepared to check shoes. Though really, anyone can get more pairs from the gift shop.

[skyagain]

Are those things even sticky enough to leave a mark? [ he doesn't know. he does not play with them. he is a no fun guy. ] You the only one to get something like that?

[outsidebones]

I was not alone - Kaeya Albrecht and Sebastian Debeste were with me. But I have not met anyone else who found something in another room.

[skyagain]

... So we've got one thing to go off of, and it might be sticky hands.

[outsidebones]

Unfortunately. We'll see. At least it's someplace to look for early.

[skyagain]

It's a start. [ ... ] The camp we can visit worked similar to this place. A bunch of people on their second run at murder. Tsurumaru said the killers couldn't go inside the portals that led to the older areas, though.

Maybe if we're lucky, that'll take that off our potential murder spots.

[outsidebones]

We may as well ask that upfront, if we're able to speak to the staff. It will narrow theories significantly, if we're aware.

[skyagain]

Yeah. Pretty sure we should get at least some of them if not the whole lot. These things don't run themselves.

[ imagine if the npcs still didnt show up. how hilarious would it be ]

[outsidebones]

They probably could, by now. But I doubt they will.

[she's silent for a second, but.]

I've heard it said that your group was not good at trials.

[skyagain]

... Maybe not, but I'd say overall they got more right than wrong by the end.

[ he goes over who could've said this ]

Who'd you hear that from?

[outsidebones]

Clementine. It sounded as though often the culprit was known in advance. Which did occur, once or twice, with us too, I admit.

[skyagain]

... Yeah, everyone sort of started planning these things in groups by the end.

[ there was a reason for that, but that didn't make all of the leaders any less tired. except glimmer and zoe who were like yeah fuck it go murder ]

[outsidebones]

We weren't without that, mind. I was only curious.

[skyagain]

It's not a bad question. Clementine was part of the group dealing with things in the background by the end, so she'd have a better idea.
