[LordofFail]

Cam passes around some alcohol, everyone enjoys it.

Nicholas leaves.

Percival hands Aeolus a large knife with a R embroidered on it.

Aeolus then leaves.

To PMs.

[LordofFail]

Main Power has been restored.

[LordofFail]

[LordofFail]

PokemonKidRyan will be replacing Chemist1422.

[LordofFail]

Joon enters the Observatory.

Cam, Nicholas, Aeolus, Mags and Percival are all already here.

Aeolus has a paper with 8 star diagrams on it.

He compares them with the star diagrams on the desk, and turns them over to get the set of coordinates from each.

They are:

[Cyantic]

Not yet, if you don't mind. This might link into what I'm thinking.

[renetear]

That's everyone accounted for that's not dead then... good, at least we still have 9.
What's the progress?

[Cyantic]

Well, I'm working both on the killer and the puzzle here and there, and it seems Parka's acquired four knives to get us here. These look like plot points to me.

[XerxesLeFan]

We have this, and then in the kitchen there are a shit ton of tiny knives with letters on them. Like, at least 20 for every letter of the alohabet. what...what even.

Spoiler:

[Cyantic]

Well, I know they're coordinates, but if you plotted them on a graph...

And perhaps these make letters. There are eight rows of them. Do give me a second, this shouldn't take very long.

[Arcthurus]

Spoiler:

[Cyantic]

Maybe.

??T??L??

This is a fucking pain.

[XerxesLeFan]

This is the worst fun I've ever had.

[Cyantic]

C?T??L??

It seems I'm right. God, this fucking sucks.

[XerxesLeFan]

You can do it, Mags! Fuck it up!!

[Arcthurus]

Second to last is N.

C?T??LN?

[Arcthurus]

I think the second/fourth/last is A...? That one looks a bit off.

[Arcthurus]

I think the second/fourth/last is A...? That one looks a bit off.

Spoiler:

[Cyantic]

Yeah, that's what I got. A seems the most likely, it doesn't look like any other vowel.

CATA?LNA

[squosher]

CATARLA perhaps

[squosher]

CATARLNA perhaps

Fixed

[squosher]

Catarina?

[Cyantic]

Catarlna?

Wait. I got it.
