...

Confirming the spread of votes either during or after the trial ritual.

Induced bloodthirst is also probably one.

Huh.... so they could theoretically know who voted for Karma last week?

We don't have enough bloodthirst already? [ grouses, but not meant at daan ] But are you sure that's an ability and not just.... I dunno. Possession stuff?

I'm not saying this from observing symptoms, if that's what you mean.

Theoretically, yeah. But whoever has it hasn't spoken up. We're probably going to want to assume Ms. Winters was a Siren, right? Unless one of these other ones I don't actually know is also some manner of fish creature with an oddly drawing voice.

[ Maybe she's actually a Koromodako... ]

Even if we don't know for sure, I'd say it's best to make the easier connections and assumptions, and adjust if we end up being wrong.

There are also those items, though. But if you think bloodthirst is one, I'll believe you. It's just such a weird spread. [ bloodthirst, yaoifeet..... ]

The way she talked I'm pretty sure she was a Siren, but who knows. I think Boothill was a Gorgon. I'm not sure about Nona.... Manticore, maybe?

Isn't that a lion with a man's face, or something? Can't even begin to figure out what kind of power that thing would have.

[ Fucking rapturing Pickles, apparently. ]

And a scorpion tail.... dunno. Some of these powers are really out there.

[ sighs ]

[ getting a tad emo thinking about pickles ]

...

Did you notice that Ms. Winters's body shifted in appearance right at the end?

Yeah. Almost like... a bear? I wondered if it had something to do with the temple. But there was weird crap going on with Boothill last week, too... like... the zombies?

[ YEAH ME LIKE ARE THESE POWER-RELATED OR ARE THESE JUST JOKES, IS ERIN TURNING INTO A BEAR JUST A MIDSOMMAR GAG. HOLDS MY HEAD ]

...I can't tell what's going on.

[ He is so tired of occult horseshit. ]

In Mr. Boothill's case, there was the issue of the loose hand which was presented in the trial itself, so it came from somewhere else other than the execution ritual...

[ MOOD ]

I guess I can try asking. But you should ask Famine, I bet they like you better than me.

... I thought the hand was from Nehan's death? But we never did figure out what the hell was going on with that, did we.

[ she touched that hand so much, daan. AND FOR WHAT ]

Apparently the cult did him in, not one of us. Which is another entire issue of its own, but whatever. I don't think we're going to be able to go back and figure it out, everything's gone.

Why, had a bad encounter with them?

No, I knew that. But I mean the hand was related to his... case... I guess.... or so I thought. [ but yeah, it's too late ]

[ also yuffie not going to admit famine made her cry and is just waving it off ]

Think they're more your speed is all.

I'd say we had a decently productive conversation.

[ They got him bourbon. That feels like a privilege. ]

Like I said, more your speed.

Keep me posted on what you find out?

...Sure.

Keep me updated and I'll keep you. But be careful of saying too much.

Roger! [ exaggerated salute ]

Oh, there's another power I forgot to mention. Geto's skin became.... scaly? The first week. No idea what monster that was or who did it. Maybe... dragon?

...

Oh, right, I forgot about that.

[ This is such a funny thing to bring up that temporarily he actually seems less dour and more just like OH. I THINK... HE WAS STILL hate-arrowed to him at the time??? So he

just insulted him about it and forgot, I think, ]

What? What kind of power is that?

[ JUST MAKE PEOPLE SCALY? ]

That's what I mean, Daan! It's so... random!

[ also im crying that this breaks him out of his dourness ]

[ IT'S REALLY THE FACT THAT HE HATED GETO SO MUCH HE JUST INSULTED HIM ABOUT HIS LIZARDNESS AND THEN WIPED IT FROM HIS MIND UNTIL THIS MOMENT ]

Uh... yeah. It is.

Okay. I'll keep that one in mind also.

[ lizard racist daan, i see..... ]

That's about all I've got with powers.... the other thing on my mind is the escaped monster.

[ Only natural to follow after cat racism... ]

...Yeah. That's a pretty big problem.

Mr. Kasuga's...

And if the state of his body is anything, this person... doesn't want to, either.

[ where was the cat racism i missed this ]

.... I have some thoughts on might have killed him. Do you?

[ He didn't have a good first reaction to Izutsumi. ]

I'm no good at this crime solving stuff. Everything I personally looked at, it all ended up being tied back to Mr. Kasuga himself.

Mmhmm. I'm no expert, myself. My specialty is kicking ass. But I do think it was someone on that poncho list. And I think there's a few of those we can eliminate.

[ Daan is also just like. Too grounded in reality to understand mg logic so he still has no fuckin' clue what was going on with those rain ponchos. Or the coconut. ]

Hit me with it then.
