TEXT ♞ IT WASN'T ME, MA

[optimistical]

If Retrospec gives you an item that you suspect is a murder weapon, what do you do with it? Should it be turned into the police or do you just keep it somewhere...? And what if you accidentally already got your fingerprints all over it...?

... hypothetically asking.

[optimistical]

Maybe? Shouldn't anything be possible now? Considering that people are getting back superpowers and we had monsters in the city...

I know that there are a few police officers on the network so maybe they can help answer this for us.

[nachetanya]

So are you going to be arrested for what past-you murdered?

[optimistical]

Past-me didn't murder anyone either! Why is that the first conclusion you jump to...

[nachetanya]

You can an apparently bloody knife in the mail?

[optimistical]

Okay, I know it looks bad when you put it that way but it definitely doesn’t belong to me. I can’t see myself ever killing anyone for any reason in my past life or now.

[nachetanya]

[ Neither could I.

For a moment, she consider saying something biting and sarcastic like that back but in the end she shakes her head, exhales... ]

A murder weapon with no murder? Wow, that must be something to report to the police, honestly! It sounds like a mystery!

[optimistical]

All right, all right, I get it... I won't give it to the police then. I'll probably just put it back in the mailbox.

[nachetanya]

Oh wow, that already talked you out of it? I was just teasing a little!

[optimistical]

Well, what else can I do asides from putting it back? I don’t want to get arrested for something I didn’t do

[nachetanya]

Oh no!

You chose convenience over justice?

[optimistical]

But the regular police can't do anything, right? And I have to do something with the weapon until I feel an officer on the network...

[nachetanya]

Mmmm but would that really be the safest spot?

Well, probably I suppose.

[optimistical]

Well, my other plan was to put it in a shoebox under my bed...

[nachetanya]

If there's any biological things on it I think you need to keep it cool

[optimistical]

Really? Even if it's just blood?

[nachetanya]

Maybe?

I don't know I've never had to do it
