[Claire has been working on her investigation into Twister's murder. She's complied a list of notes about what she has discovered so far. It reads as follows:

- After being cleaned up, the body was found to have several gash marks on it's chest. Some kind of animal?
- Luke seems to think that it might have been a person trying to convince us it was an animal by fabricating the extent of the wounds.
- Regardless, he definitely died by being stabbed through the heart.
- Ms. Layton has laid a claim to taking over as Prime Minister soon after the death. She is a suspect.
- Talking to Clive has shown that Prime Minister Twister killed him before all this happened. This isn't relevant to the case? Unless it pins Clive as a suspect.
- Don Paolo claims to be the last person to have seen Twister before he died. He says he witnessed him talking to a Clive he was unfamiliar with in the lobby.
- Talk to the Clives to find out if any of them were with Twister on the day of the murder?
- Don't bother with that one annoying Clive until it becomes unavoidable.

She's frowning. Talking to all of the Clives would take ages... Feel free to give her some advice, whether you fall into the Clive category or not.]

[Hey, look, it's an unfamiliar Clive. 8Y]

...what are you doing?

[budding_science]

[OH GOD SEDA NOTHING COULD HAVE PREPARED ME FOR THIS.]

Oh, um, hello. I'm... just looking through my notes. Are you new here?

[She looks for a name tag.]

[pkmntrainerclive]

Uh. Yeah, I think? What is this place, anyway?

[He has one! It says "HELLO, MY NAME IS PIDGEY."]

[budding_science]

[She's a little distracted by the name tag.]

This is the Dressing Room, draws in people from different dimensions and forces them to stay.

...You know, I've never heard of a bird called a pidgey before. Is it a newly discovered species?

[pkmntrainerclive]

...ehhhh?

...

[Why is she talking about P-- ...oh. Why does he have a nametag what even...]

They're, uh, a Flying-type native to Kanto? Are you from Unova or something?

[In his experience, Unova is the only region where it's common to not even have heard of half of the Japanese Pokemon... even in Orre they seem to have a pretty good knowledge of them.]

[budding_science]

Kanto? that's a region in Japan. No, I'm English. And I can't say that I've ever heard of a place called Unova.

[Well, this one might take the cake as the most confusing Clive so far.]

[pkmntrainerclive]

Uh, yeah, Kanto's one of the Japanese regions. English... what, you mean one of in the UK regions? Which one?

Unova's... American.

[Clive don't sound so judgemental, you lived in Unova for two years.]

[budding_science]

I've never heard of an American place called Unova, sorry. As for which region I live in, well... I come from London is that makes you any less confused.

[pkmntrainerclive]

[...what the fuck is London woman you are batshit.]

Uh. Not really.

...

[HMMM.]

...what kind of Pokemon do you have?

[budding_science]

What are Pokemon?

[She's hoping that isn't Japanese slang for something dirty. :|]

[pkmntrainerclive]

[Dude what is wrong with you it's like not playing card games in Yugiohverse.]

...they're. Uh.

...do you live under a rock?

[budding_science]

No, I certainly do not. Have you been abducted from an asylum?

[pkmntrainerclive]

...um, no?

[He lets Banette out of her ball as proof.

Hey look, Claire, it's a thing with claws just like the ones who left marks on Twister!]

[timesugarcoated.livejournal.com]

[Dimitri notices his Claire working on the case and he walks up to her cocking his head to the side.]

How's it coming Miss Scarlett?

[Foward-dating this to after her talk with Pidgey]

[budding_science]

[She jumps at first, but then smiles to see the one person that she feels could help her out on this most of all.]

Dimitri! It's lovely to see you.

As for how this is going, well... I'd say it's a bit here and there. While I've definitely discovered a few things about the murder, nothing's linked enough to draw a conclusive answer.

[Yeah, i imagined it would be.]

[timesugarcoated.livejournal.com]

[He gives a nod back and a solemn Dimitri smile.]

Yeah, I can imagine. There's not much...evidence around. I suppose if we could find something with DNA on it even though it would make this easier. But I'm not sure...

[He shrugs and looks at her thinking. She was so beautiful staring off into nothing...]

[budding_science]

If only we had some way to confirm DNA here.

[Sighs.]

Paul seems to believe that one of the Clives had something to do with it. But so far they've been less than helpful.

[timesugarcoated.livejournal.com]

They are Clives...

[He looks around and then raises an eyebrow.]

Actually, things like confirming prints and such are easy if you have eyeshadow and or power bronzer, a make up brush and a magnifying glass. It's old fashioned and it takes a long time, but it could work.

[He places his hands behind his back.]

So you've been working pretty hard on this huh?

[What is small talk to Dimitri? He just likes listening to her.]

[budding_science]

Not hard enough, it would seem.

But you're right on all accounts. Want to help me try to gather some prints then?

[She smiles up at him. Can you say no to that face?]

[timesugarcoated.livejournal.com]

[He can't say no to that face. It's impossible.]

Oh, sure if you need me too. Um..it will take a while to confirm anything however. I hate to say.

[He smiles anyway.]

I spouse that means we'll have to spend some time together, hm?

[budding_science]

Well, there's no rush for results, since the Prime Minister's body isn't going anywhere...

And, yes. We definitely need to spend more time together. I never imagined that a good old fashioned murder mystery would bring us together, but there you go.

[She's still smiling~]

Shall we go fetch the tools then?

[timesugarcoated.livejournal.com]

I suppose so. You wouldn't happen to gave any dark colored eyeshadow would you?

[He's still falling victim to the smile. What a sweetie~]

Lead the way, my dear.

[budding_science]

Well, I try not to pride myself on being someone who wears a lot of make-up, but as a matter of fact, I do.

We can just pop back to my room and pick it up.

[timesugarcoated.livejournal.com]

I have noticed. You are beautiful without it. Which is why I asked.

[He smiles just the slightest and nods at her suggestion.]

I'll follow you. This place is so big, I forget where every room is.

[budding_science]

[Laughs a little.]

I never knew you were such a flatterer.

[She begins to walk in the direction of her room, looking back to see if he's following.]
