Hands might work, but with feet... between Ming Yi's boots and the clown shoes, can we really use any of that?

[shiftingwinds]

...I think we might. The clown shoes - if whoever was wearing them had feet that were too small, they'd just slip out of them, right? They wouldn't have been able to wear them well enough to leave a clean print. You'd probably see skidding, or their actual footprint somewhere if it just came off.

So I still feel like the feet would have to be a certain size to see what was left behind.

[alteracion]

We didn't have time to check the actual size of the clown shoes, though, right? They come in different sizes on the inside but are huge on the outside, isn't it?

[ let's pretend grace knows clowns enough to know this ]

[shiftingwinds]

They do?

[shi qingxuan does not know shit about clowns, my dude.]

[alteracion]

[ turns out i wasn't quite right so: ]

I have no idea. I've never met a real clown.

[shiftingwinds]

[douman is right there]

Are they only in... circuses, like the one here?

[alteracion]

Sort of. Some kids get them for their birthday parties, but my parents weren't really into the idea.

[ very dismissive in tone ]

[shiftingwinds]

And that's... entertaining?

[the circus just seems creepy to her.]

[alteracion]

Yes? [ unsure. she's not a fan of clowns she's A Grown Up ] They do balloon animals? I have no idea.

[shiftingwinds]

To each their own, I suppose...

[...]

Oh, I think White used to sell balloons. Maybe he would know about clowns?

[alteracion]

Yeah, maybe! You should ask him. [ he'll hate it probably and that's funny. ]

[shiftingwinds]

Hmm... maybe I will.

[alteracion]

Good.

[ :3 but anyway: ]

Clowns aside, I think the most likely answer to who framed your boyfriend is Vlad.

[ grace is assuming heterosexuality based on near nothing evidence, it's fine ]

[shiftingwinds]

Sorry, my what?

[alteracion]

Your... Ming Yi?

that's not what she said earlier ]

[shiftingwinds]

[she blushes instantly]

He - he's not my...

[is it hot in here? it's hot in here. don't mind her fanning herself with her fan.]

We're coworkers!

[alteracion]

[ this reaction is.

hilarious. almost as hilarious as me joking about heteronormativity when grace knows sqx's gender is "it's complicated". anyway: ]

For now, right?

[ :)? ]

[shiftingwinds]

[rapid fanning]

Ahaha, I don't see that changing any time soon...! [oh god. okay. what were they talking about.] But - I do think you're right about that... or at least that he took the shovel. I don't know abut the shoes, though. A corpse couldn't have put them back on Ming-xiong's feet.

[alteracion]

[ she raises a pointed eyebrow but says nothing ]

Maybe he brought the shoes back first and then went to bring the shovel, and that's when he ran into Luca's murderer?

[shiftingwinds]

That's... possible, but then Luca's murderer would have had to have been the one to put the shovel back in Ming-xiong's room after killing Vlad in the music room...?

[alteracion]

Maybe... Vlad was on his way back from the sleeping quarters when he heard the music room commotion? It's all on the ground floor, anyway.

[ god i need to look at a map ]

[shiftingwinds]

...that could be.

[she sighs]

Or maybe he went there to try and hide some other evidence, and got ambushed.

[alteracion]

He did, apparently, eat a croissant too.

[shiftingwinds]

I'm getting really tired of seeing food come up with murders. It's the middle of the night. Please stop that. It's making it really hard for me to want to indulge in my sin during the daytime.

[alteracion]

I still can't believe Luca left to get breakfast.
