Having a partial amount wouldn't be an issue, unless it's possible for us to have pooled them, though I'd like to hope someone would have at least questioned it if another asked. As of this point it should only have been possible to get three vouchers, one per task. Exactly the amount needed to purchase any of the pink items in the shop.
[ it won't be valid anymore after rewards go out for this week, but for w1 alone... ]
... I don't know. The knife is nagging at me. Why put it back? If we already knew who had the kitchen knives I'd like to think one of us would have said something. But we didn't, so more than likely we don't know who has them, so keeping it shouldn't have implicated whoever our culprit was. With Yu's injuries, we would never have been aware a knife was involved at all if they didn't put back an obviously bloodied knife to be found.
[ and if they'd stopped by the lake they would have had time to clean it. ]
It could have just been to get us to waste time examining it. Which we did, I guess, but... that could also backfire since you might end up leaving unneeded evidence behind by making that extra stop there.
[ hmm. ]
Maybe Yu wasn't killed by being stabbed? Like... maybe there was some other method, but he was just stabbed to get the attention of any wildlife that might be in the area. In that case, it wouldn't matter to leave the knife out in the open like that.
Maybe they smashed him on his eaten side with a pink baseball bat to knock him out and stabbed him with a knife to attract a predator.
[ boredly, flatly. they're spitballing here with only some degree of seriousness at this point. for some reason i don't have an icon that better conveys her expression here than this one, which unfortunately doesn't apply to the rest of this tag because she resumes looking neutral but vaguely thoughtful a moment later. ]
But right, that's what I'm getting at. Another weapon might have been used at some point, and even if the shop is the most obvious source of them, it's still a potential source.
[ maybe someone got really creative with an umbrella even if they didn't buy the obvious pinks. ]
It's rather amazing that the same kill can seem so incredibly sloppy and so incredibly obfuscated at the same time. Are they simply lucky or, or was it actually that well-planned?
[ but like... feets. ughhh. ]
You mentioned fake evidence powers earlier. How did they work?

I wonder...
Should we have done a voucher check? It's nearly useless, considering most of us don't bother bringing them to trial, but...

And we can't reexamine, and any evidence is probably gone by now.

We'll probably be thinking about this for a while.
