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.

It was used to murder someone in the other world I was from, but I don’t know who it belonged to or who used it.

[frostythehitman]

then it's not a murder weapon
the person who got killed doesn't even technically exist
and it's not like you did it
either here or in your memories
so who cares
no one can do anything about it not even the police

so what is it
gun or knife or something else

[optimistical]

I guess you're right... but it's a knife. More specifically, it's a really bloody kitchen knife...

[frostythehitman]

like
freshly bloody?

[optimistical]

Well, it originally was but it's all crusted now.

[frostythehitman]

dang
well
either clean it off and keep it around to use another time
or just...give it back to retrospec or hide it somewhere
not much else you can do with a murder weapon that's not a murder weapon

[optimistical]

Yeah, I'm going to have some people examine it first before I decide to either hide it in the mailbox or somewhere in my apartment. I might just put it in a shoebox under my bed or something like that...

[frostythehitman]

if you need recs on people to examine blood on the dl i can get you some names
other retrospeccers who know not to blab about anything suspicious/illegal

[optimistical]

If you could let me know who they are, that'd be great!

I was already told to contact an officer named Mako Lou and there's someone with the CSI
who commented, but it'd be really helpful to know some more people who can help.

[frostythehitman]

i think i know him
didn't know he was an officer though
the person i was thinking of was grell sutcliff
she's more of a doctor but she was still able to figure out whose blood was on the arm retrospec sent me months ago so i bet she'd know what to do with your knife too

[optimistical]

I'll try to see if I can contact her, thanks.

But do you think she'll be able to figure out whose blood is on the knife if they're not in Recolle, though? I think I know who it belongs to but that person only exists in another world.

[frostythehitman]

hell if i know i'm not the doctor here
but whatever she could probably tell you a bunch of other crap about like
how many times the knife stabbed them or something
