Wouldn't you like to use more than words?

The last thing you recall is likely your own death. Whether it was fast or slow, it's over now. And you're... where are you?

One moment, you were among the living. The next - you may be one of the unfortunate ones who actually died. In which case, you've found yourself flowing in the lazy rivers of the river Styx, unfathomably deep underground. Just for a moment, mind you. It's not long before your consciousness is yanked from the waters by some scary monsters, shoved into a healed body, and pushed through a portal.

Or, maybe you were caught red-handed and sentenced to your doom. But, instead of a proper death, you were whisked down into the Veins of Tartarus. And there's really only one place that could lead to... Or is it?


You've been tossed down here by the will of the Titan, but what you find is A helping hand swooping you up - possibly literally, and potentially out of the grasp of the Titan himself.

Not a moment after, you're whisked through another rift, this one a shimmering gold. Into a realm of slightly more stable platforms and a lot more shit to look through. The area is practically littered with the ill-gotten goods of a thieving God (who is happy to note via pop-up illusion that you are touching his stuff). Here, however, you are safe; assured that Typhon cannot find or hurt you here.

For the moment, you can breathe before the next part comes.

[Very fair, Alex...]

Paranoia certainly is an excellent motivator to risk playing along with Typhon's game. Though I wonder... perhaps the killer wasn't seeing the victims as themselves at all.

[rockymountaindie]

...Like...saw a threat instead?

[necromants]

Precisely. Neither of them were particularly skilled fighters on their own, so someone could overpower them if they were sufficiently motivated enough.

[rockymountaindie]

[ Gritting his teeth. ]

Yeah. Yeah, they fuckin' weren't.

[ ...Reminded why he's mad at the dude he's talking to, oops- ]

[can't allow you to forget that he sucks!!!]

Though considering some of the evidence presented, [just moving on nbd!] I'm not entirely sure that theory holds weight. The scene did not look particularly staged - or as though their bodies had been moved.

[rockymountaindie]

What're you tryin' to say, they killed each other?

[ doesn't like that either 😔 ]

[necromants]

No. I sincerely doubt that's the case.

[Sure, they could've theoretically stabbed each other and the evidence would make sense, but it wouldn't explain anything else.]

My best guess is that someone was trying to make it seem like that could be possible after the fact. Giving Aoi a knife covered in Quark's blood, for instance.

[GOD I SUCK AT SOLVING CASES CAN'T WAIT TO BE PROVEN 300% WRONG]

[rockymountaindie]

Well it's stupid, is what it is.

Even if she was seein' something- if either one of them were seein' something not there, their first instinct wouldn't be to fuckin' stab it.

[necromants]

I'm in agreement, it seems a ridiculous notion to even entertain in the first place.

[But speaking as a culprit: sometimes you just fuck the scene up to make it that much harder to solve and confuse the ever-living shit out of everyone. He at least has the foresight to keep this in his head where it belongs.]

[ no yeah thats just how it works ]
