week 2; pre-execution; sinbad

[Magnus is skulking around near the Livehouse, and happens to spot Sinbad. He's making a beeline for him, looking serious and checking that he's alone.]

Hey, you! First Kid! Can we talk?

I want you to tell me the truth. Are you the Midnight Icer? Did you have anything to do with what happened to Ranpo?

If you tell me the truth, I can help you.

[He sighs, and shook his head]

Sorry - I had nothing to do with his death, though all you really have is my word saying that.

[His shoulders slumped]

[ruffboi]

[Blowing out a breath of air. This is frustrating.]

Yeah. Okay. Well. If I can't talk to the Ice Man, I can't assume he's an ally. So - next time he's on the chopping block, I'm not going out of my way for him.

[conquerorofwaves]

You know, I was thinking... couldn't someone freeze something icicle-like and use psychokinesis? Or on the Rukh, even asked the Composer to get them icicles... That might be another possibility to look into.

They're stretches I'll admit, but I'll see what I can figure out about what really happened. When I'm in the spotlight, I rather have it on me because I'm performing, not because I fell under suspicion for something I didn't do.

[ruffboi]

Sure, sure, sure. I'm no scientist, really. Coulda been done a lot of ways.

[Shoving his hands in his pocket and standing up.]

Well, I'd better be on my way. If you come up with any other ideas about our Ice Man, though, come find me.

[conquerorofwaves]

The trick is figuring which one - the simple answer isn't always the right one with this crowd.

[He waves as Magnus takes off, and goes to resume drinking in a more public area]

Take care, and be careful!
