Bittersweet Candy Bowl

(Whatever works for you ILB. Onward to the climax!)

-Sean

(Oh, okay, then. ^_^ But does anybody have want and occasion to take over? Or should I end it tonight (tonight for me, that is)?)

/MURDER 4/
Aaaaand welcome back! We continue from where we left off, and yes, I think there has been another stabbing! Yes, somebody has been stabbed, and it is LightorDark-! Oh, and it is a good stab this time, so our antagonist, or antagonists, must be getting better at it! But wait, if LightorDark- was the one who was killed, does that give strength to the drug theory? Is, or are, the killer, or killers, a crackhead, or crackheads? If so, why are the bags always left behind? Also, can we figure out who will die next? Keep twirling that dial, and stay on the line for the next enticing installment!


… And, a bonus question to those of you who remained behind, did all of LightorDark-’s five personalities get killed? Who knows?

*stretches out*

Hmm… I dreamt something really weird tonight…

(Sorry ILB, today is Dry Tech for the show and the next couple of days continues the tech week. If no one comes forth soon, you might just want to finish it in a expeditious manner. These games start to speed up after the first couple murders anyway.)

I have a hunch as to the meaning of these attacks.

*Realizing he just spoke out loud, he quickly grabs the knife before disappearing from sight.*

Tee hee~ We’re scaring poor Ninja-.

(Hmm… I think I will do that, but I hate cutting the game short for you guys. )

I… guess we don’t need to check his body for drugs?

(It seems like I am the only one who does things at the moment. ^_^)

/MURDER 5/
We have returned! And with that, we bring you this exciting news: There has been yet another killing in the streets! To those of you who guessed that it was one more stabbing, you were right! MiwAturu- has received a knife straight through the heart, apparently simultaneously with one through the right lung! How gory! But what could this have to do with the narcotics? What’s that? Nothing? He does not even have drugs on him? But you say you found a Greek coin, similar to the other ones? This is fun, is it not?

Whatever their reasons, the killer or killers have gradually gotten better at their job. From a fumbling attempt at both stabbing and stuffing, to this murder with two simultaneous thrusts into the back resulting in instant death, the practice has certainly done the assailant, or assailants, well. And do you know what? You have not even found MiwAturu-’s body! Yes, it is masterfully hidden, but I will tell you where. Behind a market stall, painted a dank brown/yellow colour, and hidden in a wagon of wheat! You would never have found him if it was not for me telling you! So this silent serial stabber, or stabbers, is, or are, deadly at their job!


(I think you can start guessing. There is one more thing that will happen, but I will wait with revealing that until I see some of your theories. ^_^)

Hmmmm, all these deaths are linked, but not many cluse to tye them together. Where to bet my money?

Well, either we have an incredibly fast learner, a master assassin that has stopped trying to hide his skill, or multiple murders of various skill levels. Stabbing skill levels.
*Looks to Gameking*
Where can I get a drink?

I would tell you, But i think YOUR the killer Lark!

“turns around and runes away”

(ooc: and yes that is my therory. I belive Lark90 is the killer)

(is it me?)

hmm… another murder…
*takes both knives and the coin*
i wonder what this could mean…

But where do I get a drink?!
… fine.
*Walks over to Sean*
As for you’re statement, I think it means someone died. Violently.

ahh, but what do the knives mean boy!

youve got to look at the evidence!
weve got a rich guy, (lots of nice silver knives)
who has access to greek currency (greek currency everywhere)
and the rest of the clues… (which i cant think of atm)

I think that it’s….. Gameking!
(ooc: @ILB Just so you know, the crystal skulls have existed since the Mayans.)

*Folds arms*
What we are dealing with is a missing link. Before Gameking lost it, he did correctly point out that we only have a coin to tie them together. Now, given that we are finding these coins on the bodies, I believe they are being left on purpose, or the dead have them on their bodies at the time of death.
It only other clues are the method of death, a torn fabric, and drugs. But why MiwAturu?

*Turns to HB*
Interesting, given the coins we’re finding on the bodies are so rare, and the fact that it was Gameking who not only told us their origin, but also told us they are used primarily by merchants and… gamblers…
But still, why? Are these men people whom he owed some debt to? Also, the last murder was performed so skillfully. It makes me think we’re looking for a pro.
(Thinking Gameking218- or *Ninja-)

You think so? I think that yelling woman over there (the narrator, ed.) gave us a good hint.

(Also, it is funny how Gameking and Lark suspect each other. ^_^)

(ooc:Oh i get it, but i think i’ll keep it to myself. I want to see how things end)

What do you mean by that exactly? The tip of no narcotics, or rapidly improving skill?


(Even funnier when you realize we’re not only suspecting each other, we’re playing as each other.)

(Yes, that makes it all better. ^_^)

Oh, neither, really~

Who is left for me to play?

(I found that an irony myself)

(Oh, HB, you are a bit late, you know. ^_^

But Jacob83 is unclaimed. This is his profile:
Jacob83: The often overly cheerful and rather odd teen. More often then not he’ll just be trying to find a person to talk with or something to play with, well either that or sticking his nose in another persons business when they don’t want it. A lover of his own bad sarcasm but also a pretty good shoulder to cry on so to put it simply; he’s good to keep around as long as you can deal with his jokes.)

*Looks straight at Leaving a Comment*
Any theories?

/MURDER, FINAL/
But what is this? We are back, ladies and gentlemen! And to tell you what? … What? Yes, there has been one more murder, and the victim this time is… wait for it… *Ninja-! Stabb… Not stabbed? No, his neck is broken! Our murderer (not literally, ed.) must have extended their scope, yessiree! Oh, what is that? They have found, not one, but three Greek coins on his body! Why three? Why did the killer, or killers, break the neck this time around? Why was this, or indeed any of the murders, done? And more importantly: Who did this?

The final, and possibly damning, evidence in this series is:
1: *Ninja- is lying, in plain sight, in front of a market stall…
2: He is smiling pleasantly, which proves a silent, instant and surprising death.

Who can figure this out? I can, but I am cheating. Can you?

A theory? Of course. I believe there are two killers…

And neither of them make sense at first sight~

(ooc:So you have confirmed my susspisions. i change my answer. The killer is YOU ILB. is the killer. have to be ooc , i ran away.)

(Okay. When will you be back? ^_^)

(ooc: My caharicter still thinks Lark is the killer and is trying to hide,so unless Lark dies or the killer is caught he willstay in hideing. But i will still make comments through ooc.

Well, there goes my theory. We are in fact fighting a different ninja, because, much like diamonds, only a ninja can kill a ninja.
Or a murderer.
(Damn. Still considering Gameking218-, but other than that, don’t know. Can I somehow regain Gameking’s trust so he can return? I’m fine spending time with a man I consider a murderer.)
(EDIT: DAMMIT)

(Okay, Gamie-. (That is Lark. ^_^) We will drive the story on for a bit, then.)

Regain his trust, hmm? Try a bouquet.

*giggles*

*Cough*
Excuse me, had something in my throat.

Ok.
*Takes out a bouquet*
GAMEKING! GAMEKING!! I’M NOT A MURDERER SO I GOT YOU FLOWERS!
…
*Turns to Commie*
Oh well look at that it didn’t work. Shocking.
*Tosses flowers*

Can I shoot the murderer? Please?

(ooc:Sorry but as a gammbler and a guy who gets mixed up with the wrong sort, he knows when to dissapear and dosn’t want to die so he’s prolly not coming back. I take RPG very seriosly so like to stay in charicter.)

(I will keep the game running until somebody makes a correct (or at least a very good) guess. Or when I have to go to bed, which is generally the most active time. ^_^)

Flowers didn’t work? Try love letters, then~

Is it LightorDark-’s Dark side? Pure evil is very hard to kill.

(Tee hee. Bonus points for creativity, and for getting the solution partly right (although also terribly wrong). ^_^)

Is it…. me?

I GOT IT.
*Spins around*
Where is ILB? Think about it. Standing in front of a market stall, smiling? If she didn’t do it, she was definitely involved…

(You are closing in on an answer, but you are lacking some major details. ^_^


And no, HB-. Not… quite. ^_^)

has to be ilb

(ooc:but who is her acoplice? That is the question.)

the acomplis must have been ninja, she killed him after…

(OOC: GAAAH I can feel it… so close! Also, if I’m the killer and want to win do I have to admit? I don’t really think I am, but I don’t know how that rule works.)
Ok, so theories time;
ILB was their at the time *Ninja died. How else do you distract a ninja? While they were talking, someone snuck up behind them and snapped their neck. But why? What motive could they have had? Anything at all.
They only can think of is Gameking getting in with some of bad people, forced to kill them or kill for them, although looking back he was very surprised when we found skykitty.
(EDIT: I am not very good at this. Also, are we having a conversation in-game or is this just OOC theory talk?
Lark90-)

Again I ask, can I shoot the murderer?

(At this point, it does not really matter whether it is OOC or not. So you choose. ^_^)

(Shoot the murderer? No, not in this day and age. A stoning, however, might be in order. ^_^

Oh, and you have gotten so close to the solution that I will reveal it soon. Just wait a bit for me to gather my notes.)

(OOC: I blame everyone, and that way I can’t lose. The winner is me.
*Puts on sunglasses*)

(ooc: @ILB But i’ve had a old fashioned revolver in a holster on my character’s belt since I joined this!)
