On a moonlit nightin a back alley on the south side,there was a crime...Around 2 A.M., a werewolf was murdered. Once a respected member of the community, now the victim of what many are calling a hate crime. But what's the truth here? Here's what we know: the victim was found in lupine state at 1:52. Apparently was not killed long before. Blood from Louis' slit throat was smeared along the wall and, in less orderly but no less controlled fashion, on the dumpster next to his corpse and the wall on the other side. Anybody know what these shapes mean? You can only call the one by his head a question mark.Poor Louie...though you didn't know him. There's no apparent trace evidence and no DNA, so the way you see it the crime has got to be magic. But you're wracking your brain over who could be the culprit... Let's take it slow and do it calmly. Who do you know, and who have you heard of?

(This time, please feel free to submit any kind of command you like. Actions, info, anything!)There's Rex, the blocky, rectangular character who lived in your neighbourhood, right?He's some kind of marketing specialist who used to stay in the apartment right above you. When you heard he was moving you counted the days. You tell people you can't stand him but they don't really get it. They always assume he plays his music too loud. Which he does, but he's got good taste. It's not that he's a bad guy -- you just hate looking at him. You've always had a suspicion that he'd got some kind of vendetta against you -- but could never be sure of what, and couldn't begin to prove it. So let's not point the corners you call fingers here. Or...at least...let's not point too many too fast, alright? What about the sketchy demiwarlock, Lucas Aughrts?It's a shame about Lucas. Since his parents died years ago in some kind of wizard war, he lives with his grandparents, who have always seemed to be on the straight and narrow. Their grandson's more like lumpy, and broad. People say not to judge by appearances but you'd say you have an eye for this. You had history class with him. Went to his place for a project, where he was selling his grandparents' spells out the fourth-floor window. You could go see that goofy shaman, Xavier...but he's never of much help.He really isn't. And he transforms so much that everyone's forgotten what he looks like. Here's the thing, though: he's got a shocking amount of knowledge and resources. Whether or not he's willing to give you access -- whether or not he's even around -- is another story. You do trust Xavier, strangely enough, but since you've never been one to count anyone out as a suspect, he's going on the suspect list and the errand list. Both of which, incidentally, are looking sharp!

Be gritty and hard-boiled.
Of course.
It also might be a good idea to talk to Louie's friends and family. They could have some valuable information that would shed more light on this case.
Yes! Yes, good. So addresses and contact information, right, right. You wouldn't be surprised if there was a relevant business card in here somewhere, or if someone in or around the family went to your school. And then there's always the interne
Wait, you're a student AND a private investigator?

No, no, this is your fault. You jumped right into things, didn't start on the right invisible supportive foundation that I would call a foot. I mean, "I." I mean, "you." I mean, shit, hold on, I don't know what I'm saying and this is getting stupid.
I'm getting progressively more uncomfortable using second-person in my own mind, so let's flip this script, if it isn't too much trouble.
Hello. My name is David Harvey Sigh, private eye. In training. This is Dad's office.
I'm told I'm not good with people, but I hope you'll forgive me because the last thing I want to be is hostile and unreasonable toward you.
Great. Phew. Now. I'm not sure whether you already got this about me, or whether you were just confused about it or what, but everyone is a triangle to oh here's a card for a Stewart. Jane Stewart. I wonder what relation that is. Maybe nothing...not like Stewart's a rare name or anything, so...
Right, so like I was saying. Nearly everyone is a triangle to me, but everyone is not actually a triangle.
There's always been something fundamentally wrong with me on a cognitive level. In pictures and screens, though, I can see living things fine.
And when something breaks the mold -- when I see a rectangle or a human-shaped mannequin in real life -- it...
Still freaks me out...
So you can get why I'm offended about buying Doritos.

Ohhh, ha ha...that's blood. I was trying to make something with this a few days ago, but I don't have good hand-eye coordination, so I pricked myself.
I had a thimble once, but it kept falling off and then it rolled and went somewhere. Come to think of it, so did the needle.
Neeever mind, theeere it is...ha ha...ow.....
Take the ball o' yarn.
That's actually a good idea. Mom said this yarn has mild magical properties. Now, I don't exactly know what that means, but I do know that she weaves a sliver of it into all of her magic hats.
Now, what the hell else is in here?
Wall-mounted certificate: this is from fourth-grade chorus. If you stood still, behaved, and sang or howled as loud as you could, you got an award. Or "award." While still in chorus today, my lack of technical skill is nowhere near as appreciated.
Laptop and charger: gift from Uncle Scott. Doesn't have any of the magical psycho-browsing capabilities that command premium prices. Has a custom frog logo.
Rolled-up dance steps: another gift from Uncle Scott. Labelled "Irish Folk Dancing," but that's probably just for marketing purposes because it's nothing but pictures of feet with numbers on them. I need to throw this out. I can't dance for shit.
Yellow triangle costume: gift from Whatshername from school, who made me go to a convention in this. I also don't remember the character's name. Bill Sister? Not made of organic material, but this sort of triangulation tends to happen from the moment clothes are worn.
Three stacks of books: it's all history and non-fiction. A few are textbooks. So uh...guess they're not all non-fiction. ........
Small cabinet of paraphernalia: rubber bands and shit.
Alarm clock: digital standard.
A dumbbell: I used this once and my parents made fun of me.
Closet: I think I forgot to put on clothes.
