...THE FOURTH VICTIM?

[monoguests]

[Friday, Friday, gotta get down on...well, there's nothing to get down to, considering the music has stopped. There seems to be a distinct lack of Shadow Bugs too - has the threat of a murder been carried out?

Well, it can't hurt to check. Those who go by the showers will hear the sound of faint running water, and there seems to be...something in front of the Pokemon Center.]

[Well, he is feet-up right now thanks to Alastor, why not turn him rightside up?]

[green_mario]

[Oh gross he has to touch it?

Ew ew ew flips the body over with as little touching it as possible.]

[monoguests]

[...That is a VERY BIG BOOTPRINT.]

[green_mario]

[Huh. So like "bigger than the average footprint" or "WOW THIS ISN'T HUMAN"?]

[monoguests]

[It's big largely because it's deformed due to the goomba's...state.]

[green_mario]

[... Well can he get a vague outline of the footprint at least?]

[monoguests]

[It's humanoid at the very least, and definitely seems to have been caused by a larger boot, which at least knocks Hinawa and her tiny feet off the list of suspects.

...Though being this close might mean he'll notice the small strands of green hair around the corpse.]

[green_mario]

[Oh crap LUIGI WEARS BOOTS

Well that's good to know at least. What else is off about the area?]

[monoguests]

[It looks like there's something hanging off the roof of the center.]

[green_mario]

[... Can he jump/climb to the roof of the Pokecenter?]

[monoguests]

[It's a bit of a leap, but with Luigi's jumping skills? It shouldn't be any trouble for him.]

[green_mario]

[Aww yeah he can be useful still.

Okay so what was on this roof?]

[monoguests]

[It looks like a rope.]

[green_mario]

[Well he's going to examine this rope closer. Anything off about it?]

[monoguests]

[It's very weathered.]

[green_mario]

[That... sure is weird. Is it tired to anything?]

[monoguests]

[That's what's weird about it. It isn't severed or anything, it's just a bit of rope. If he keeps walking on the roof, he'll notice some weathered scratch marks too.]

[green_mario]

Wha...?

[Why would anyone be up here with an old rope?

Is there anything else on the roof that's unusual?]

[monoguests]

[Outside the marks, the roof seems...normal enough.]

[green_mario]

[Well he's going to just take the rope for later and hop off the roof. Anything else unusual about the area?]

[monoguests]

[Doesn't seem like it. Watch your step, don't hop into the lava fountain.]

[green_mario]

[C'mon Luigi's careful enough not to just leap into lava! ... Usually.
