Missy blinked quietly. "...Oh. Sorry. He." It was hard to think with her brain shadowed with anger, broiling and smoking with upset and oh god Koto was dead this couldn't be happening... Oh god oh god... After a moment, Missy realized that she was hyperventilating again. Taking a slow, deep breath, she sorted through it. Think, you worthless clockmaker. Think!Casting a sidelong glance at Shi, Missy rolled her eyes and grumbled. "Okay, now is NOT the time, Shi. Please kindly shut up, snoop." She looked down. "It doesn't matter anyway. It was most likely Rika, anyway. While Amai was close and could've wanted to put Koto out of his misery, Rika does work with wax and wood. I don't think Amai works with wood quite so much. As an instrumentalist, Rika would have more opportunity to be in the storage room, which smells strongly of wood constantly due to the wooden crates." Another breath. Keep thinking. "However, Amai wouldn't have as much of a chance to be in the storage room. His SHSL is kitchen-based, so he'd be working in the kitchen of all places. Candy isn't that affected by temperature... well, maybe it is, but candy is replaceable. An instrument, however, is not quite as replaceable on this ship." Clutching at the podium once more, Missy forced the gears in her mind to keep turning. More evidence. More."Candy is a passion, certainly, but someone who plays an instrument... that is their life, isn't it? Letting that go... Letting an instrument break because of temperature changes would tear an musician apart, don't you think? A candymaker can replace what they make, but not an instrumentalist. Driven crazy by the idea that they could lose everything they loved, Rika stole--or found--a gun, probably in the storage area, explaining why it smells like wood, and searched for a target. He was probably even trying to keep his precious Clarinet safe beforehand, using wax to care for it. (Or not, I don't know much about musical instruments. If any of you do, you can confirm or deny this possibility.)" Missy glanced around at this statement, hoping that someone could fill in the gaps she found empty. "He found Koto. Koto was playing with his puppet, not paying much attention to his surroundings. (He does tha...did that when he was playing with his puppet.) In a fit of hysteria, Rika took aim and shot. Panicking, Rika also smashed him over the head with the butt of the gun, trying to make sure he was dead and not sure what to do. He then hid it on the fourth floor, trying to hide the evidence as best he could so no one would suspect him. The gun was far away from most of the dorms so it wouldn't place suspicion on any one person." Missy sighed, hoping someone would point out the flaws or help her fix up her theory. It wasn't perfect or complete by any means, but it was something, nonetheless. I LOVE YOU IN A FRIEND WAY

(Okay simply to play devils advocate here, there are multiple people who play an instrument on the boat, one having to go to the storage to get to it, and also the sudden temprature drop xould DEFINETLEY effect the tuning of aaid instrument...) (this is probs not helpful at ALL, but hey, it exists)

Trashy romance novels are overrated." "But Rika... you... you still haven't answered the question." Alice's eyes widened and her eyebrows furrowed. She was always so quick to believe everyone... "Did you kill Koto?" God why was she always the one to ask this question.

God why was she always the one to ask this question. "Is James Patterson a lazy asshole?" Missy glared at him with every ounce of anger in her small body. "You did. You DID kill him." Missy was ready to screech. "One of my LAST FRIENDS! You ASSHOLE!" The clockmaker held herself back from tearing him apart and let her body be wracked with sobs instead.

The clockmaker held herself back from tearing him apart and let her body be wracked with sobs instead. Goddamn it. It was Rika, then, huh? ...And Koto...oh, god, she knew them both. "...Missy..." Jaxan said rather quietly. "...Please...I...I know how you feel, but..." She sucked in a deep breath and tried to control her anger and tears at the same time. "...P...Put yourself in Rika's shoes for a...second..." She sighed. "Damnit! Rika..Koto..." they were both dead. "...This situation...I-it's something...you wouldn't think straight in..."
