[ He is here just having dropped off his evidence. Where, you may ask. I have no clue where we are putting them, they're somewhere. Near the pyre I guess? ]
The barn by the ranch was in a state -- some kind of fight definitely happened there... and a major injury. Found the sickle and axe both displaced. I was able to bring them back... they don't show any signs of trying to go back to their original place, at least for now.
[i also have no idea where they put them... ig this chest is here unless nona and totty took it somewhere???
Lavi nods, then]
The theatre was a mess again -- the ground outside was muddy, and someone put all the chests and benches in a pile on the stage. Nona found a ukelele on top, and Totty found a bloodied sleeve in one of the chests. There was a jar of leeches in there too, from what we could see.
A pile? Weird. I know there were broken stringed instruments all over that place, if you hadn't thrown them all out yet.
A jar of leeches sounds like something Mr. Akabane would have carried around as personal inventory... but it seemed like it was more purposefully there?
[truly it is the Evidence Vibe. WHY DID THE MODS MENTION IT HELLO. also im gonna beat myself up bc it was a POT pretend lavi said pot. does it matter well listen maybe it does
he nods,]
There was definitely a bunch of other stuff in there... but that's what we noticed first -- besides the sleeve. [WAS IT AN ARM? OR JUST A SLEEVE? DAMN] You think it's another arm?
No, I think so too. [...] Problem is if we find out someone killed for an item or another motive -- it might get everyone else too riled up to focus on the possession.
[he's just like is it better to have one possession or Two]
[ Hmm... yes... this beetle here appears to be made of beetle... ]
It might. Especially if it's in regards to Mr. Akabane.
[ Because that means someone fucking willingly killed a 14 year old. He'd be kind of miffed if it was Pickles but there is the aspect of maybe someone thought it would be easier to kill a dog than a person. But Karma? That's literally a kid. ]
...I mean, normally we wouldn't have to be convinced about something like that, right? But I have this weird gut feeling that they can do what they promise.

[ It's evidence so it's got that Evidence Vibe. ]

no subject
Ugh. I am hoping not. Too many lost arms. Feels kind of targeted at this point, don't want that kind of reminder.
no subject
Yeah. I could do without another body part that doesn't belong to anyone. [SHAKES
his wry frustration tapers off into something more sober,]
Yuu was at the beach. He said they found Pickle's translator and his prints, but not his body.
no subject
Why? Did they send it off into the waters...?
That's pretty cruel... although, now that we know we're meant to solve them... it'd be a pretty easy way to obfuscate a huge piece of evidence.
no subject
[obfuscate... he does not like that, but damn can he see it]
...You think the Masks could find him? Ven and Death's bodies were at the pyre last week...
[they didn't find pickles though well listen]
no subject
Can't ask as long as long as the crows are gone.
But we might have to prepare ourselves for the worst.
[ Like... damn, Daan knows he's not a vet but he would've at least tried. A stab wound is a stab wound... ]
no subject
...Right.
[he doesn't look upset at the mention, though he also doesn't look like he's feeling anything? sometimes, you just gotta repress]
We have Karma and Ichi to worry about too. Really not looking forward to tomorrow.
no subject
Yeah. If we focus too much on one, we might let someone get away.
...
It might be a bleak thought to consider, but... we should focus on what cases were caused by possession, most of all.
no subject
No, I think so too. [...] Problem is if we find out someone killed for an item or another motive -- it might get everyone else too riled up to focus on the possession.

no subject
unfortunately Lavi thinks he can understand killing either Pickles or Karma, though he does think both would be fcked up in different ways...]
...Do you think it could have been the other way around?
[KARMA KILLING... FOR AN ITEM....]
no subject
He thought the items were bullshit. He practically was trying to convince me that they were.
[ Not that... he is writing off the possibility entirely, but it is worth saying this. ]
no subject
...I mean, normally we wouldn't have to be convinced about something like that, right? But I have this weird gut feeling that they can do what they promise.
[which in itself is weird, he knows, but]
no subject
But he still insisted it was stupid to listen to items and a notice that promises something so crazy and grand.
He may seem unreasonable, but he liked reason. If that makes sense.
no subject
[even if this might turn out to be lotr one ring shit]
And it's good to know too -- I never talked to him about the curios.
no subject
We'll be better prepared. Not like last time.
