Static...? Fish?

[what... what the fuck. mineo's expression turns a little confused at that]

I think the paw prints in the Planetarium could lead us to the dog park, but if they don't, it might suggest a relation to Eleanor-san's murder. Though I don't know how helpful the short list of suspects I had for that is useful anymore, given that Mahito-san was on it.

[how many crimes did the flea commit]

And if the scars we got from the Planetarium don't point to Mahito-san, then there are a few of us who do have scars from old combat wounds.

[so that is also a suspect list to crosscheck against other evidence]

[bonetiddies]

I'm. . .

[Hmm.]

Greed told me about as straightforwardly as they ever say anything not to look further into Eleanor's murder, as it's a waste of time. So I doubt it.

[sengokus]

[ . . . huh. he tilts his head at that.]

Dog park then?

I've gotten similar advice... but Sloth-san also said that if we can catch a.... [airquotes] "new killer than maybe we'll find an old one".

[fuckin

repeat killers]

[bonetiddies]

At this point, with the murders that have gone unsolved, I wouldn't be surprised.

[Anyway. Sigh.]

I don't know. There were also the animal power in play this week. I'll tell you now that one of them is mine and I haven't used it yet, and Aoi had another.

[sengokus]

Ah...

[he nods]

I think we're looking at about three or so per power - so maybe one more person who didn't share their power last week had one.

[bonetiddies]

Agreed. It's eight powers, three persons to a power - but that includes Eleanor. I know what all of them do, and I'm only missing a few names. Unfortunately, Mahito was one of them.

[sengokus]

[he tilts his head]

I can try to ask Endorsi what Mahito-san's power was. Are there any others you're missing?

[bonetiddies]

Megara, Ming Yi, Childe, Grace, Medb.

[sengokus]

Childe's is the same as Sheila-san's. Gu-san still needs to tell me if he confirmed whether Childe-san used it already.

I don't have the others, though - sorry. I'll see if I can get answers before trial... but if I can't, I'll try to get them after.

[bonetiddies]

Oh. [She looks unimpressed.] Did that asshole use it on you? Well, that would be one mystery solved.

We'll find out tomorrow. If they won't claim, I may need to rely on you - people trust you.

[sengokus]

[i'm bending timelines and gently retconning because i just got this in another tag - ]

Oh. Actually.... I tried not to argue with Endorsi about this earlier, but Mahito-san and Childe-san both got the same power. So either one of them used it on me, since I'm assuming Sheila-san didn't. [sheila stanning....

he tilts his head]

.... I can try. I'll do my best, so you and Takeru can use me however you need.

[bonetiddies]

Sheila definitely didn't. She told me she'd mentioned her power because she wanted to try to find out who had done it to you.

[Plus, she doesn't think Sheila would lie to you.]

Got it. Of course, it means very little - I know of at least one case where an Avatar power someone got was identical to a boon.

[sengokus]

[a nod]

I know. I believe in her. So that means it was either one of those two... and using it during trial makes me think one of them must've been guilty. But if we're not supposed to chase after Eleanor-san's murder anymore...

[who knows! maybe it was the flea.]

Hah. Of course it can't be that easy. Well... we can at least try to figure it out. [a beat] Do you know anything about a power that could be used to transfer injuries, Harrow-san?

[bonetiddies]

No. There is a power that can be used to re-open old injuries. Gu Yun tried to use it on Grace towards the end of trial; it didn't do anything, because she hadn't been injured.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . he looks thoughtful about it before shaking his head.]

... no, that doesn't really...

[he frowns]

You'll see tomorrow why I asked. But it's not really my stuff to tell, and you'll find out early enough I don't think it'll be a problem. But it's just something we gotta think about, I guess.

[bonetiddies]

Understood. It can also be an Avatar power. Misa confirmed everyone who sets out to kill gets one.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . he just. sighs.]

And there's no way to get the Avatars to tell us what that power is, even if they can't say who it went to?

[bonetiddies]

Not that I'm aware of. Though I did learn last week that they'll tell you if a power was used. When you made me go ask Despair about it like an idiot even though I was the one who had used a power.

[A wry smile at that.]

[sengokus]

[ . . . . . o-oh. he'd forgotten.]

... oops. S-Sorry, Harrow-san... Takeru only clued me in about Amane-san about halfway through trial, but he didn't tell me about curses...

[bonetiddies]

It isn't your fault. [She just hated asking Despair a question she knew the answer to and wasn't able to refuse!!]

[sengokus]

[just rubbing his neck sheepishly]

W-Well... thanks....

And it's good to know for tomorrow! So... there's that?
