DR5 - Mirrored Embers - Chapter Six - Finale [Surviving Participants + Jane win]

Okay I’m gonna try to sleep again

(Where do you find compasses?

I need it lol

(Like where was the murder weapon initially

“I- I admit I know blood magic…but I’d never kill her! Never-“

Oh, blood magic?

Don’t know any.

(Also i was in the library during the possible murder window after I left Jane’s dorm so I think someone should be able to give me an alibi)

(Hi I’m skipping the 1000 posts, someone catch me up)

(I vaguely recall Mist being in the library, but I can’t confirm the timeframes.)

(SDA looking kinda sus)

(Senate Storage Room, part of a geometry set iirc)

Is anyone pulling an Arapocalypse and keeping track of all the relevant pieces of evidence?

(Okay but we’ve literally discerned that it’s fallible. I’m not sure why you didn’t see me, but you didn’t. It’s possible it was a minor moderror due to how I submitted the action but I’m not going to go deeper into that without confirmation.)

(Perhaps…)

Here's everything I have. I'm missing a bit, though, no doubt.

Case 1:

Name: Alex Lucille Bracknell
Talent: Ultimate Nanotechnologist
Cause of Death: [Redacted]
Time of Death: [Redacted]
Involvement of Magic: [Redacted]
Notes: [Redacted]

“For everyone that just got here, here’s a brief rundown of how these events transpired. About 2 hours ago, as I was leaving [Jane’s] dorm (everyone else had left much earlier than me, I wanted to speak to them about something), I noticed [Wazza’s] door was slightly damp. I didn’t investigate any further, however I went to the library and told the others. [Min] and [Trochi] went to investigate (and I regret not going with them) and found the room being blocked off by some vines. [Trochi] identified the magic that had been used, recalling it from a book they had read. Apparently you can use the heart of someone you have killed to block off the room for 24 hours, which is what these vines were. After [Light] used his potion to phase through the door, that brings us to now.” - 3:28 PM, Arctic

“6 hours ago Wazza entered Building D and didn’t leave for 4 hours or better yet i didn’t see them leave at all for that time.” - Trustworthy

(apparently wazza’s throat wound was long and deep, but very thin. probably got the carotid and i’m gonna say that’s the cause of death) - Tro

“I aslo slept in DatBird’s bed since last check time.

Dat Bird can confirm :eyes:” - eevee, has been checking beds every 12 hours

“Absolutely perfect you say?

I was in the hospital ward in hiding about 6 hours ago. I revealed myself then to a group, before I travelled to the library. I was then there the rest of the time.” - Amelia’s alibi

“(I was in my dorm for the last 2 I just don’t think I was removed)” - App, 3:39 PM

““I went back to my dorm after the whole Jane fiasco, and ended up sleeping because I was really tired [low on ap]”” - SDA

(I read the pen marks on the walls by the way. “Who am I?”, “There is no escape”, “Am I even human?”, and “I’m going to die”, which has the end of the e trail off, as if the writer was interrupted while writing it.) - Light

““Everyone here’s hair is dry,” N mused, “Although that doesn’t really mean too much because the body is at least two hours old.”” - Light

“katze carefully extricates a sharp, short point from the pile of nanotech and white dust clogging the drain. It’s short, but most of its’ length is bloody.” - Icibalus, Host

“…the blade and the neck wound match…” - katze

“Dennis follows the water to the handle and out the door

“The killer was dripping water all the way to the teleporter, but it’s been long enough that there’s not much more.”” - Apprentice

“There are signs of forced entry, yes.” - Mistyx

“there’s a piece of plastic on the back this… so it’s probably broken off of the actual murder weapon, although this looks like what actually killed her… – it’s metallic…” - katze

““As I said earlier. I last saw them in the library saying they were going to their dorm.”” - min

“i saw them right before they died… and right after they died…” alyx giggles

““6 hours prior to their death i saw them they didn’t see me.”” - TL

“I don’t believe I ever interacted with Alex after we departed from the Town Square on the first day.” - Amelia

““Josephine has a Ph meter, 5 pens, and the rusty sword.”” - Light (SDA’s inventory)

““Oh yeah forgot to mention - Dennis is wearing chainmail and has a weird red liquid. Allison has a spiral notebook and a knife on her.”” - Arctic, on Apprentice’s Inventory

“Current inventory information

Apprentice - chainmail, weird red liquid which he won’t disclose what it does
Marl - spiral notebook, knife tipped with dried blood
SDA - ph meter, 5 pens, rusty sword” - Arctic

“[MIST] has a Monster Energy, a wooden chest, a scone, two bullets, and a sack” - Mist’s inventory

“Trochi has:

papers
needle
dart
vial of unknown liquid” - Tro’s inventory, according to App

“Jane-Hammer
Nightingale-gun
min-knife
Light-potion
???- kunai gun
All from library gift shop” - DatBird, Kunai Gun - Mist?

“(Murder happened at 2 PM my time)

Went to the Library with Jane around 6 AM
Jane left
a bit after that we all got the impulses that jane wanted to murder us because he broke the wooden raven
I went to the senate records room at 7:34, encountered wazza. we decided to go back to the library to see if anyone had seen jane
Wazza, Night and I all search for jane in the bank and hospital, we moved around a bunch in these areas
We eventually gave up and split up, i went to the gardens alone
I went back to my dorm around 9 am, heard someone calling my name so i came to Jane’s dorm
We found jane
a few people were there, including wazza
at 9:17 AM i input a command to go to my dorm’s common room to meet back up with nightingale and it never got processed, ici never announced she was back from her break so i didn’t think to ping her
(that’s my last movement before i saw the body discovery announcement)” - Marl’s actions, CST

Min, derps, Arctic, Jane all clear each other? Maybe? Marl STR probably too low. Tro STR probably too low. App probably wouldn’t want to put attention on himself with framing SDA as Blackened.
TL claims to have been watching building A?

Has logs I’m not going to copy

Missing hospital gown

Derps’ clothes were burned most likely, although a more substantial amount than normal clothes apparently

“alyx nods

“buildings A, C, and D all had clothes, building B had none… apparently the clothes of everybody in building B was under [derps] bed, except her own… which was burnt to ashes in the oven in the kitchen…”

alyx, again, looks at the corpse “we’re… still missing something vital about the murder weapon, i feel…”” - Katze

Weapon looks like a very sharp broken pyramid

“(because I searched for plastic that had been snapped and was told the only thing I found that waas plastic was a geometry set with a missing compass. I then asked if the murder weapon looked like the metal point of a compass and was told yes)”

““Due to the introduction of the Invisability spell anyone that was inside A building without an alibi COULD have indeed done the crime at a stand alone matter. We also know the murder hadn’t happened as of February 5, 2021 10:00 AM as Alex was seen alive at this time for anyone that didn’t pick up on that part.”” - TrustworthyLiberal

The fact of the matter it the logs themselfs show where and when derps lied tried to solve other worlds both nothing has really stuck and the fact everyone tryied to keep magic hidden from me ment i couldn’t account for it during my actions pre the murder.)

(And yes i might not be as HYPE as ara but trying to do the notes at least)
