[That doesn't sound right, but Lio doesn't know enough about hairspray flamethrowers to argue it. Whatever, he'll ask someone else then.]

You should find a weapon as well.

[burningrescue]

[It's! True!]

I have my fire extinguisher. If anyone tries to attack me, I'll put them right out. Also, it's not the type of extinguishing fluid we usually use, and it irritates your skin if it gets on you. It did to Nikki.

[madburnout]

[Google experts have varying opinions! On murder game logic, I assume it would be fine. Anyway, he's making a face at the idea of being sprayed with extinguishing fluid, because. He has before and it sucks?]

. . . Do not use that on me.

[burningrescue]

Hah. If you come at me with that flamethrower, I'm using it on you.

[madburnout]

Hmph.

[A LONG PAUSE.]

If you do, I'll turn into a werehorse, and eat your head.

[IS NOW THE TIME FOR JOKES.]

[burningrescue]

[I mean. He snorts loudly at that? But more because it's Lio.]

Wow! You're horrible at jokes! Somebody died!

[madburnout]

Ah.

[oh. yeah. But also no one's ever told him he's horrible at jokes before? He's too hot and no one has ever criticized his attempts. Honestly he just seems shocked.]

[burningrescue]

[

He shakes his head.]

It's okay. You got other qualities. Anyone who can make their own motorcycle out of fire shouldn't also be good at jokes.

[madburnout]

I didn't ask for a critique.

[IS HE SULKING. The Mad Burnish always tell him Great joke, Boss! and We support you! This is just insulting.]

[burningrescue]

Aww, haha. Well, I still laughed.

[Lio. That's cute. He doesn't mind Lio being sulky, as long as they're generally getting along.]

Just, y'know. I keep thinking about Nia. She came out of her room and stood that killer down and got her head bitten off, and we didn't even find the guy. Feels wrong.

[madburnout]

[Hm. Yeah.]

There's something obvious that we're missing.

[burningrescue]

What I'm thinking is, it sounded like we were on the right track, thinking it had to be somebody who was down in the basement. But maybe somebody wasn't talking about where they were. It didn't have to be the three we know were down there. It could be anybody who didn't have an alibi.

[madburnout]

I keep thinking about the four we rechecked. Their footprints.

We know where Phoenix was. I do not think he is responsible-- [or he doesn't want to.] What about the others?

[burningrescue]

I dunno. Who was it again? [Geez, Galo.] Stefano, Ash, and Akechi...? I dunno if the shoe was related, but it had to get out there somehow, right?

[madburnout]

Phoenix and Akechi keep notes. Perhaps they have an idea of where everyone was.

[ . . . ]

Stefano kept arguing that Asch was responsible. Repeatedly.

[burningrescue]

That jumped out at me too. I felt like. Most people voted for Asch cause they didn't know who to suspect, and he was telling people it was okay. It was an excuse. He was the only one I saw going hard for saying it really was Asch.

I'm not a genius level detective or the brightest guy, but I couldn't see it being him at all.

[madburnout]

. . . He is. [Hm. how to put this.] Interested in me. I will speak to him, see if I can get any information.

[burningrescue]

[Uh.

Uhhhhh.

Uhhhhhhh?]

H-hold on! If he's a weredragon, couldn't that be dangerous?

[madburnout]

[Bud.]

I am not scared of him. He is welcome to try.

[burningrescue]

You can't go around just seducing everybody who might be a killer, Lio!

[madburnout]

[SEDUCING..........................]

I am not going to seduce him, I am going to speak with him, and if I have to indulge his weird desire to . . . take pictures, then so be it.

[burningrescue]

This fuckin' guy. It's not bad enough he bit Nia's head off and framed Asch and the kraken...

[Still making a face, like take pictures is the nastiest, most perverted thing a nasty killer could do.]

I'll talk to 45 - she was the one checking people's curfews and stuff. Maybe she's got a handle on it.

[madburnout]

We don't know that he did it.

[Also, why does Galo care so much?? He doesn't ask the question, because . . . he's got some inkling of the answer, but that's ridiculous.]

Alright.

[burningrescue]

Yeah, I know, I know. I'm not gonna go around accusing him until we know for sure.

[Come on, Lio. It's the most obvious thing in the world.]

[madburnout]

[Well. Okay. Yeah. It's super obvious Galo wants to bone him. But is it a good idea to indulge that horny instinct. Is it. Galo could make moves if he wanted, but he doesn't seem to be.]

You should be careful as well, if he is a weredragon. [ . . . ] Do not take that as a challenge.
