[waver, no... what will you do when you run out...]

How do your usual cases go?

[londonstar]

[ die i guess ]

Magecraft usually renders the how-dunnit of the crime almost impossible. A skilled mage can easily kill someone even inside a closed room. So usually the motive, or the whydunnit, is used to find the killer.

[ it's easy to tell where does waver's info about crimes come from--mystery novels ]

However, in a place where the usual motive is 'the Crafters forced us to', it's quite hard to figure out anyone through motive alone.

[axilium]

... Yeah, pretty much. I imagine most people would kill if told that the fate of their world depends on it or that they could get anything they desire.

[londonstar]

Indeed.

And with so many people in this place and my own lack of abilities, it becomes pretty much impossible to solve these cases. [ he sighs ] Now we may never find out who killed those three.

[axilium]

... And it's just going to get exponentially worse. Natsuo's snapped because of Monika, Yasusada threatened to slaughter everyone to protect Souji... People are being driven into a corner.

[londonstar]

Ion and 2B both acted like all they needed was a confession in order to kill someone, too. This is just too cruel.

[axilium]

Well, I guess that's what happens when you get too attached. In that way, I can almost understand Natsuo's ranting.

... If whatever's re-linking partners doesn't come through tomorrow, we're screwed.
