Yeah, no shit! Here, I can do one too. Flayn, tomorrow - [Giving her a serious look.] - better expect the unexpected. Stuff will definitely be things, Flayn.
Taako and Escha. And we all said our weird thing at the same time on the count of three, so - keep that in mind, Flayn. Always keep your eyes on the prize. Or else the cat will really be out of the bag.
[Hmm.]
I feel like we'll do better, though. We won't be making the mistake of looking for somebody we think is the murder type.
[she nods. eyes on the prize, indeed - they should definitely do their best this time.
although... her expression falls and she looks down at the ground.]
...there are not many of us left who are the "murder type," anyway. We shall have to consider people no matter how unlikely we believe they are to kill.
We followed it, but by the end, we were guessing whether any of our suspects would kill somebody. Don't think that was the right call. We don't know the reasons why somebody would decide to kill. It might've been something we didn't guess.
I wonder if... perhaps, rather than simply looking at what there is, and theorizing once we hear about it, it might be worth attempting to recreate some of the evidence when we investigate.
[she gestures at the drag marks]
For example, if we are able to create marks like this in the sand tomorrow, we will have a much more concrete idea of how they were left, will we not?

anyway, she frowns and takes a closer look at the marks.]
...they are apart from each other - were two things dragged here? Or was one thing dragged twice?

[ he rubs at his face, then flinches. ]
But we'll probably have to wait to investigate further, if memory serves. ]

[Digging a hole in the dirt with his bare hands! Why!]
But it's probably nothing - I'm just Friday cursed to do this! Which makes me think we'll find a body somewhere bad, huh?
no subject
[(flayn voice) wtf is a heelie
anyway, she follows the drag mark from where it begins to where it ends, trying to get a feel for how long it is]
...I hope that will not be the case, but - where did you sleep?
no subject
Best to be prepared for anything, tomorrow.

[Looking up at Phoenix, and snorting.]
Yeah, no shit! Here, I can do one too. Flayn, tomorrow - [Giving her a serious look.] - better expect the unexpected. Stuff will definitely be things, Flayn.

[stuff will definitely be things, indeed.]
We shall all do our best tomorrow. I... we cannot have another repeat of last week.
no subject
[ to magnus... ]
Just make sure to think outside the box.
[ stuff will definitely be things ]
Think we'll be more on the ball, yeah.
[ they have to be ]
no subject
[Hmm.]

[ to magnus, re: the mysterious mentor metaphors!!! ]
Considering what's apparently at stake.... we need to follow the evidence, nor our hearts, for this one.
[ ... ]
Poor Taako, though. Can't imagine he'll be happy about the digging compulsions.
no subject
[and it steered them wrong :c which she hates]
Perhaps if Taako goes somewhere there is nothing to dig through, it will be easier?
no subject
[Anyway.]
Taako's umbrella got all dirty.
no subject
[ since by the end, we didn't even know what we were looking at... ]
That's a shame.

[. . . ]
Last week was bad enough, but messing up two weeks in a row, shit's gonna hit the fan. And I'm not just making fun of Phoenix when I say that.
no subject
[ phoenix nods to magnus. ]
We can't mess around.
no subject
[she knows she won't!!]
We will have to make the most of the time we have.
