[ Feed starts with Willard H. Wright's voice, since after so long, appears again with something to see what people think around the place. ]

A man is shot and disfigured beyond recognition with a sawed-off shotgun in an impregnable castle, to which the only entrance is sealed.

The victim is walking alone in the middle of a snow-covered street. A voice is heard to threaten him, and a shot rings out. An examination of his body shows the shot was fired from close range, but no killer is to be seen and no other footprints are found on the scene.

These are closed room mysteries. I want to hear your thoughts.

[ ooc: I'm ready to cry. ]

And who's to say they didn't shoot themselves?

Devil's Proof, uh? Let me tell you that all this crimes can be committed by a human.

Not so much Devil's Proof as it is a lack of detail; for example, in the second scenario, the passive voice leaves a lot to interpretation when it comes to exactly who was hearing the threat to begin with. Using only the wording provided, it's entirely possible that the man was mentally unsound, "heard" the threat and shot himself for whatever reason - either because whatever he was "hearing" convinced him to do so, or "hearing" it in the first place was a sign that he had relapsed and he decided life wasn't worth continuing.

A threatening voice was heard, a man shot himself. That's what I have to work with; yet there's no need to assume that a third party was involved at all.

The second one would be easy enough to explain if the killer was under the effect of Float and Haste spells, or perhaps even Blink.

[Magic did it!]

Magic, uh? [ wow, really. ] All this crimes can be done without magic as well.

Sorry for ruin your fun, but it's an hypothetical situation taken from real cases.

It's usually demons.

[Magic definitely did it.]

[ It's wonderful how many people believe in magic.. ]

Is that so? It can be done by humans as well.

What? When did this happen?

[ riiight over Cliffjumper's head ]

Not here. [ It's alright, bro. ] They are hypothetical situations taken from real cases.

Is the snow still falling?

You are a detective, aren't you?

[ Score! ]

Metahumans did it, obviously.

Metahumans, uh? Sorry, it can be done with normal ones as well.

[Interesting...]

He could have shot himself, but that would be too easy and what the killer would want one to think. Perhaps an aerial attack?

Defend your theory of how could it have been an aerial attack.

Both of these stories are so terribly vague. [ erryday she kanyeshruggin'. ] The first one leads no confirmation or rejection that others might have been in the castle at the time. The latter neglects to mention if it's still snowing, or if the victim still had their shoes on.

They are extracts of mystery novels when the detective arrive the scene. If you wish I can simply quote the rest of the text.

First one: the murderer probably sealed the entrance behind them when they left.

Second one: drive-by snowmobile shooting.

There. I solved 'em for you.

_{[This has been your daily dose of Heather Exploits a Lack of Specifics (tm). Her father is probably facepalming somewhere off-camera.]

[ why Heather. BUT HE'S HAPPY THAT HE'S NOT SAYING MAGIC... ]

Explain more, such empty handed theories doesn't work on me.

_{[On his end of the feed, Cooper smiles a bit. He always was a fan of challenges, but only one of those is new to him.]}

A fellow Holmes fan, are you?

Hn. You are the first one that recognizes the Holmes one. [ He sounds pleased. ]

I'm fond of the mystery genre.
