Yeah. Call him and say you changed your mind.

You search Nick's house. When you enter through the door, there's not much to see. An old hallway leads to the kitchen. On the wall are beautiful paintings. They have cute little mice combatting rats. Interesting. You turn right into another antique room. This is the living room. A relatively new leather couch faces a burnt-out fireplace. The rug is beautiful and ornate. A candlestick waits on a tall oak shelf. You look around again. The windows are clean, Nick has been taking good care of the house. You pass the 10-inch flatscreen. So spoiled. You go into the bathroom, your real interest. The bathtub is actually clean. There's a small line where the water has been for a while, and you notice a little red around parts you can't wash. So she was bloodied. You'll have to check out her autopsy later when you answer the medical crew's riddle. (which I will come up with in a sec) You walk into Sarah and Nick's bedroom. It's a big bed with windows. The sun shines through pleasantly. The closet inside has suits and dresses. They shared the closet. You also notice that the clothes are hung together, whereas there are almost no clothes by the other closet door. Nothing real suspicious. Maybe Nick is innocent after all? To see the way of death, you must first check their breath. The marks around their throat sent them to Charon's boat.

Bingo. You wake up in the middle of the night. You just had an epiphany. They're attacking tonight. What do you do?

Fine, fine. But Olympus wouldn't crumble without him. Oops, gave a hint.

You get a call from a mysterious number. Yo ho, yo ho! A pirate's life for me! The voice is raspy, and he has a lisp. The man cackles and the phone on the other end of the clicks.

You take Nick into custody. You hand the police your good ol' taser and tell them to try and not kill Nick. You take care Nick hears it to intimidate him. By the way, you guys want me to confirm with the medical crew how Sarah and Natasha died? @MissKitten Er.. The more you tase them unnecessarily, the more they dislike you, and will answer you less and less clearly. Also has to do with the fact they are in too much pain to talk.

HeadShot, that was scarily impressive. It might be PEG. But do people say it like peg or P.E.G.? Try and explore the safehouse more. And do check if there's something about a flying horse or a pegasus. Check for different squads of the AVPD or whatever.

So now it's just Thalia. Well, it's old. If everyone drops out, I'll just give the plot of the mystery. @Thalia Sorry, that's what I meant. @MissKitten August 13 is a Saturday.

@MissKitten: He's dead, if you haven't noticed We might be able to lay our hands on some armor... maybe if you and Dan became better friends? As for a taser, you are not permitted to use one until you're hired. @all AVPD already has several investigators. You need to prove your worth before they hire you. Since Thalia and Headshot agree on something... * You pull away from the Redhead. You know he couldn't be giving anymore information. Everybody around you looks down, because even he was a drug dealer, he was still a life. You stay in silence for a while, your hand wandering toward Dan. You feel a strong hand on your shoulder and just as you're about to turn, a ringtone breaks the silence. "Uh... it's mine." Dan says awkwardly as his hand quickly leaves your shoulder. You feel disappointed as he goes and receives his call. The corporal looks at you and asks, "Is your job over?" You feel unwanted as the rest of the squad slowly leaves, taking the redhead with them for examination and a background check. Having nothing to do for the moment, you go and look for Dan. "It's too dangerous!" You hear Dan say as if he was in a heated argument. You don't want to intrude on his privacy, but you are too curious. "Listen, that Bel-" Dan is cut off as the person at the other end shouts something. You start to back off, leaving Dan to his conversation. "You don't need to risk yourself, I can. The Peg-" Dan stops halfway through his conversation. He whispers something under his breath. You realize what was the cause of his stop. You had knocked over an old piece of furniture, causing a racket. "Bella? What are you doing here?" Dan asks softly but with a hint of steel in his voice. You look away and say "Idinmeanto" quietly. "Sorry?" "I didn't mean to. Anyways, who were you talking to?" You feel fiercely protective and you don't want anything to happen to Dan. "What did you hear?" "You said something was too risky..." You trail off, knowing you probably heard something you shouldn't have. "Oh that," Dan replies, looking slightly relieved, "I was talking to my brother who wants to visit me in Climax City." "And why's that dangerous?" "Well, with the high crime rates and everything..." His voice grows quieter. The two of you stand in awkward silence for a while, just staring down. "Well... I was wondering, do you have any plans this afternoon?" He asks, without ever looking up. "Why?" "I thought you'd like to join me for dinner somewhere?" You are extremely shocked at his question. You decided to take that as a sign of friendship, nothing more. 'Well, I could-" But then you remember that you are an investigator. "But I have more matters to attend to," You sigh, trying to impress on him you would like nothing more than to have dinner with him. "I can go with you to the warehouse, if you'd like." "No, it's alright. You have your job to do. Besides, you'll have to go meet your brother." "I..." he looks confused. Then, he says, "Oh yes, I promised my brother I would visit him in Phoenix." You feel slightly disappointed that he can't go with you, but that is replaced a sense of confusion. Bella, what are you thinking? You ask yourself. He is just a friend. "Anyways, I guess I'll have to go now." Dan says slowly, never looking at you. You part your ways, him back to the station, and you to check out the safehouse. Just as Dan leaves, you feel a sense of insecurity that no one is watching your back. * You arrive at the old building that the man had told you about. As far as you could see, there was nobody hostile. However, your experience told that didn't necessarily mean there was nobody hostile. You approach the site slowly and stand next to the door. You can't hear anything, but you still pull out your gun and kick the door open like a cliché officer. You find that there is nothing in there, but you weren't about to give up easily. You feel your fingers about the dark room and find a hidden door inside a wardrobe. (I know, very cliché) You are extremely disappointed by the sight inside. Tables are overturned, chairs messed up. The drawers are open, obviously stripped of anything useful to the police. The lone light threatens to go out, and the room stinks of sweat. You open several boxes at the back of the small room, but find that any drugs they might have originally held had disappeared. The single painting is about to fall, the carpet fading in color. You wonder what to do now. * I would like (if you have time) to not only decide on a course of action, but also comment on my writing. Too much filler? Not enough emotions? No descriptions?

It is currently August 13, 2011.

Sure. Interrogation - Eva You: When did you get that carpet? Eva: (shuffle) Family heirloom. You: Looks a little new, don't you think? Eva: ... You: Well? Eva: I don't actually know. You'll have to talk to my parents. What now?

Funny thing... I forgot to log out of my friend's account and posted on his... So yeah, that's me.

You stop in your tracks. In a bad-a** fashion, you look at him, back still to him. Interrogation - Nick You: Wait a minute. Sarah was found in a bathtub and Natasha was found in a pool. Nick: Yeah. That's what I said. You play a recording of the interrogation. Both of you hear him say otherwise in the recording. Nick glares at you. Nick: I need to go. You: (you hold your pistol to his forehead) No you don't. Why'd you fumble? Nick: I forgot. You: That's an awfully big thing to forget. Nick: Well, I did. Next action?

*This is in real time.* You have responses from the medical crew. Natasha was killed July 18, 2011, around 1:00 in the morning. Sarah was killed July 17, 2011, around midnight. So I guess you want Nick's alibi for those two dates. Interrogation - Nick You: What did you do the 17th and 18th of July? Nick: I left home about 9:00 in the Pirate Museum to get my job back after I cooked Natasha some eggs. She was staying over, and she looked slightly panicked. She was eating when I left. I went to see Sarah at work. She had to work overtime because Natasha was staying over for now on. I took her out for lunch. She had to work, so I said good-bye. I hung out with some old friends of mine. They were so sure that I would get the job, but I told them I might or might not. We partied for a while. I had the car, so I picked up Sarah and came back home around 9:00. Natasha wasn't home. She came back home very, very frightened. It was something like 11:00. Then I found her next morning, dead in the bathtub. Sarah was gone in the morning. I panicked and called you guys. Then I heard that she... she... (he breaks down) You: I'm sorry. That's all we need. Thank you.

I am rebooting Sabertooth, for anyone who wants to continue! Segul was correct. It is indeed a glass cup. The medical team says that Samples A, B and C are unidentifiable. They detected human DNA, but somehow there's some feline DNA also twisted into the human one. D and E are from a normal human. Tigrisa runs back to you. Message From the Sabertooths Tigrisa: Brian! Brian! You: Hm? Tigrisa: You have to come! We have a message from the Sabertooths! You rush with her to some guards clumped around a phone in the front desk. Guard: Who are you?... Wait! DAMMIT! He looks at you. Guard: We have a message from who seems to be the head of the Sabertooths. We're tracking the call as we speak. You: Good. Let me see it. Under full moon of the twilight sky, We will let out all our tigers to fly. So beware, O Seeker, of the dangers to come, no armor will guard your heart's drum. Guard: We got it! 2 blocks from the museum to the right! You and your crew sprint to it. It's the Climax City Hall. You stare at it for a while. The murderer is in your workplace? You run in and find many guns pointed at you. The police officers, finding that it is you, relax and point their guns down. You run to the chief, also present. You: What's going on? Chief: We just got a warning for assassination of the Climax City Mayor. You: What? I just got a call from here telling me about the Sabertooths! Chief: What?!? You: Chief, please, if you find ANYTHING suspicious... Chief: I got it. I'll let you know. You realize it's late in the night. The Chief notices you're tired. Chief: Go to bed, son. We got this. You dismiss your squad and Tigrisa. They all look exhausted, and don't complain. You head home yourself, but you have to write your report. August 13, 2011. First encounter with Sabertooth. Looked at Wild West Exhibition in Climax City Museum of History. Decapitated head You fall asleep.

I decided to reboot Axe of Murder for anyone who wants to continue. @Thalia According to Eva, there were only a few coworkers he was close to. Their names are Hank Allen and Tate Evans. @EllaRD He, according to his boss, did not take a sick day. He just didn't come in that day. No calls, no emails, no nothing.

@guppy Interrogation with Nick You: How can we get to your uncle? Nick: Climax Hospital. His name is Jonathan Flint. You: I'll make a note to visit him. Were you and Natasha close? Nick: We were very close. As kids, we never separated. But I found a wife and she found a boyfriend, so we became farther apart then. You: Okay. Did you and Sarah have any fights? Nick: (raises eyebrow) What, you think I killed her? You: No, just curious. Nick: Well, you stay out of our marriage. You: Very well. Are you willing to continue? Nick: ...fine. We were set up. Things weren't the best between us. But I tried to love her. And she tried to love me. It just didn't work out. You: I'm sorry. Nick: It's... Okay. You: Want a break? Nick: Is that all your questions? You: Unfortunately not. Nick: Then let's get this done and over with. You: Does your family have any ports or boats? Nick: We live by Gillies Beach. (you look at him) Everyone has a boat there. (you still look) Yes, I have a boat! But not ports. We didn't plan on getting one soon. You: Why not? Nick: Too much work. You: Okay. I have some pictures here. Could you tell me what they are? (you show him the tattoos) Nick: That's... That's Blackbeard's Jolly Roger. You: Pardon? Nick: A demon-like creature holding a spear over a heart. It's definitely Blackbeard's. You: Can you recognize anymore? Nick: Can I? I used to work at the Salem Pirates Museum. The torso is Blackbeard, the right arm is Calico Jack Rackham, the left hand is Bart Roberts, right leg is Edward Low, and that's Stede Bonnet's flag on the left leg. You: Wow. Thank you. @Headshot According to records, none of them have a criminal record.

Get a police swaud to constantly check the safehouse undercover.

It turns out only Natasha's brother is alive. His name is Nick, so you interrogate him. Interrogation: Nick Milton Interrogation Instructions You can interrogate any witness you want. Ask them any question. I hope you will be sensible. If you feel they aren't telling the truth, you have a taser. But they WILL strongly dislike you after you do so. As any sensible person would. I'll start off the interrogation with a question if one hasn't already been presented. You: Hello. Nick Milton? Nick: That's right. You: Right. Wait, are you Nick Milton as in Sarah Milton's husband? Nick: (flinches) How do you..? You: My name is Brian Dennis. I am the detective investigating that case. There have been two murders, so we'll need you to tell me anything you can. Nick: Very well. As long as they're not too personal. You: They won't, I don't think. Does your family have any family enemies? Nick: Not that I know of. Erm... You can go ask my um... sick uncle. He may not be... up to answering your questions. It probably won't help you. He's a little senile. You: Erm... It'll help a litte, I guess. Thanks. Nick: Alright, then. You need anything else? It appears that the tattoos were made after the murder.

Did I mention you have witnesses? The man who discovered the body at the Liberty Hotel pool is distraught from finding a dead body brutally killed like that, but he is ready to talk. If you also want to investigate the hanged body in Main Street, you may want to talk to the husband of the dead woman first. The dead woman in the pool's name is Natasha Milton. Her finder is Matthew Macintosh. The hanged woman is Sarah Milton. Her husband is Nick Milton.

@guppy Yes, they were tattooed on. Sorry for the unclarity. (is that a word?) You could search for different ports, but Climax City has, well, quite a bit of them. It will take a LONG time. Also, what map? I haven't finished it yet... I don't have a computer with me, so I'm "borrowing" my friend's. Thanks for the thumbs up. @Thalia/Headshot Yes, you can. You do so and you'll apparently hear from them in a few days. @Headshot That's the poem I found it from. I found it very intriguing. So far, your (old) contact book has all the contacts from previous mysteries and not much else that will be of use. The medical crew confirmed that it is all of the same person. The medical crew also says upon autopsy that the body was most likely killed before it was discovered. This could mean that it was killed off site or killed and discovered later. The medical crew says they will inform you exact dates and times later.

It works! Personally, unless Dan can handle himself, you should go with him. An attempted murder definitely overpowers drug dealing.

Now there's just nothing every time I click on it.

Every time I try to access a topic on a forum, it says "Fatal Error" and a whole bunch of code. Comments and Suggestions have been the only one so far that I could access. Could someone help me out? The code says Fatal error: Call to undefined method IPSLib::makenameformatted() in /www/brainden.com/public_html/forum/admin/applications/forums/sources/classes/dp3similarTopicsLib.php on line 337
