The real answer is person one. They did the dishes and could spread poison on the plates. They stole person three's keys to open the chemical cabinet and didn't lock it back. The reason the key didn't work is because the cabinet was already unlocked, and person three clearly had no idea, so they have an alibi. Person two knew about the locket, but because they did laundry, they could have noticed and opened it if the victim ever left it in their pocket, so they have an alibi too. The idea that the victim killed themselves is clever, but we know it has to be person one because they were faking being passed out. If they were really asleep, they wouldn't have known to take the seat they had their first week instead of the seat they had most recently.

Well, y’know—

It’s the bare minimum for a Cloud. What do you wanna do next?

*Rubs the edge against a knife made of a hyper-dense metal until all that’s left is shavings, and then drops a hair onto the edge of the blade*

@Legend

Heh. Well, we've done some puzzles, should we play a game Dawn wants, next?

@Path

*Starts channeling a self-heating spell through the blade, along with a heat-isolation spell until it starts to show signs of heat failure or magical stress failure*

@Legend

Well... maybe it’s not fair because I like it a lot, but can we play Chuji: Fourth Rift? It’s a platformer video game where you’re setting up obstacles for yourself and the other players while you’re running the course. You basically get to make your own game in live time!

@Nimda

Ooooh!!!
*the blade sparks with an audible tang as if in a response to your words and the heat shrinks to white spots that slowly grow throughout the blade, getting hotter while still having the handle maintain a cool temperature, the space around the blade begins to warp slightly*

*Continues to fuel the magic supply, now clearly having driven more through the blade than my own mana supply would provide*
