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 a kitchen knife.

[originallutece]

That seems easy enough to clean and hide, then. You can buy a few knives of the same make if you really want to hide it, but that seems excessive.

[optimistical]

I don't think I want to place this anywhere near my kitchen! Like what if my roommate or I use it by accident...

[originallutece]

Then you'll have used a knife, no more and no less. There'll be no hygienic repercussions, not if you clean it well.

[optimistical]

Isn't it wrong to use a past murder weapon to prepare your food?!

I feel like that's just asking for a curse or something.

[originallutece]

There's no such thing as curses. And I suspect it's only wrong if you're impeding a police investigation.

I suppose you could simply set it somewhere in your room where you're not likely to use it.

[optimistical]

I think the only place I can really hide it is in a shoebox under my bed... I don't really have a safe or anything like that.

[originallutece]

Must you hide it somewhere safe? It's hardly going to incriminate you.

[optimistical]

Wouldn't having a clearly suspicious murder weapon in my home definitely incriminate me? That seems like a 100% chance of incrimination.
