Day 17 - WHODUNNIT?

[pandatrash]

[It's that time again! The Great Detective has been killed, so put those little grey cells to work and find the culprit!]

[Most of the flooding has been stopped as well, though it's uncomfortably damp just about everywhere. Looks like the raccoons only half-assed their cleanup.]

[Speaking of half-assed, where's Tycoon? I mean, broken ones, sure, but has anybody seen him up and about? Looks like you guys might be flying blind this time around...]

... what are those?

[loveandwillpower]

Mad science and witchcraft at the same time.

If something you've got gets hit with the Daimon curse, it comes to life and tries to take your heart right out of your chest.

[worldcup]

... oh.

That's similar to me, since I was created using magic and alchemy. I wouldn't curse people, though. Or take people's hearts.

[loveandwillpower]

That scientist had a daughter - I don't know the full story, but there was an accident, and he had to make her a new body.

She wasn't into eating hearts or anything either, so she was sick all the time.

[worldcup]

... oh, so it was basically transplanting their soul into another body. That's pretty difficult to do perfectly.

[ She knows.


Source: her. ]

[loveandwillpower]

I get the feeling he didn't do it perfectly, anyway.

It got kinda... bad.

[worldcup]

Well, obviously. Transferring a soul to another body is difficult if you don't pay the proper price for it. Of course something was going to go wrong.

[loveandwillpower]

Huh. What's the usual price?

[worldcup]

It's a little complicated but you would need to utilize pure souls of Heroic Spirits along with a body of a homunculus.

[loveandwillpower]

So that's why they wanted pure hearts -

Anyway, she ended up using the Holy Grail instead. You seem to know your magic stuff so you can guess how that turned out.

[worldcup]

... It doesn't end well.

My body is part of the Holy Grail, so I know.

[loveandwillpower]

No kidding?!

...Heeey, is that why Usagi's daughter came out with red eyes like yours, because she's got the Grail in her?

[worldcup]

Hm? No, that has nothing to do with that.

[loveandwillpower]

[ Ok, Chibi'll be fine, then. ]

...Well, however much of you's part of my friend, you still saved my life, so.

Thanks!

[worldcup]

.... You probably shouldn't thank me for that. Whatever Grail you used that saved you probably wasn't me.

[ She knows this Second Magic bullshit. Alternate universes, etc etc. ]

[loveandwillpower]

Oh, I'm not the one who uses it.

Apparently, my heart's not pure enough, if you can believe it!

[worldcup]

... I can believe it.

[loveandwillpower]

[ Minako you gotta stop leaving yourself open for these ]
