"...Alright, I'm willing to put my trust in Law's investigative experience.  So we go with the bracelet as proof that Forget-me-not was here, and question her about what she saw?  Just to make sure; Gears, did you happen to notice if Gigawatt was wearing his bracelet?  If you didn't notice, the only... er, well, griffin I can think of who might have seen was Cygnet."

"Are we agreed on that plan?"

"I don't think he was wearing a bracelet. If he was, I just didn't notice it. Past that, I think I agree on this plan."

[Jake O'Jack]

"Are we agreed on that plan?"

"I'm cool," L.G. answered. "I'll help you shake down Jelly any way I can. Keep one eye on the evidence and one eye on her face, Pal! This one's for real!"

"...Alright, I'm willing to put my trust in Law's investigative experience.  So we go with the bracelet as proof that Forget-me-not was here, and question her about what she saw?  Just to make sure; Gears, did you happen to notice if Gigawatt was wearing his bracelet?  If you didn't notice, the only... er, well, griffin I can think of who might have seen was Cygnet."

'Maybe so. Either way, we're still taking a gamble.'

"Are we agreed on that plan?"

"I don't think he was wearing a bracelet. If he was, I just didn't notice it. Past that, I think I agree on this plan."

"I'm cool. I'll help you shake down Jelly any way I can. Keep one eye on the evidence and one eye on her face, Pal! This one's for real!"

"If that's your plan, then let me give you some advice. Don't present the bracelet upfront. She doesn't seem to know we have it. Ask her..." he said as he put his hoof to his chin. "...something simple. Don't make it sound like you're accusing her, though. These ponies seem rather fond of her."

"ARE YOU FIVE DONE MAKING OUT OVER THERE? I WANT THIS FINISHED TONIGHT!"

[Featherpen]

"ARE YOU FIVE DONE MAKING OUT OVER THERE? I WANT THIS FINISHED TONIGHT!"

Gear raised his head up from the huddle, looking at the very loud minotaur and putting on a sarcastic tone of voice. "Sorry, we spent too much time debating on whether to use tongue or not."

[PaladinLight]

((I was partially just waiting for Drip's opinion, but since she's been on and hasn't said anything...
And also... I'm not even sure this is the way to do this.  Wish me luck, everypony! ))

"I don't think he was wearing a bracelet.  If he was, I just didn't notice it.  Past that, I think I agree on this plan."

"Then we'll have to depend on Cygnet's memory, I suppose."

"I'm cool, I'll help you shake down Jelly any way I can.  Keep one eye on the evidence and one eye on her face, Pal!  This one's for real!"

"If that's your plan, then let me give you some advice.  Don't present the bracelet upfront.  She doesn't seem to know we have it.  Ask her... something simple.  Don't make it sound like you're accusing her, though.  These ponies seem rather fond of her."

"Hm... okay, I think I've got an idea-"

"ARE YOU FIVE DONE MAKING OUT OVER THERE? I WANT THIS FINISHED TONIGHT!"

"Sorry, we spent too much time debating on whether to use tongue or not."

"..."

What Paladin really wanted to say to the minotaur was "Just because you've arrested Deuces, doesn't mean you get to take his role as the sarcastic quip guy."  Either that, or "Why, did you want to join us?  The girls are taken so you get Broken."

What he actually said as he broke from the huddle was "Thanks for waiting.  We're gonna approach this from another angle.  Your case against Deuces has two major points: the love triangle between the two victims and the bride-to-be, and Deuces' confession.  Since Deuces is, as one reliable character witness once told me..."

"...the biggest lair you'll ever meet."

"...I'm inclined to disregard his 'confession' entirely.  We were hoping to take the other path for the second..." he turned to Forget-me-not, "...and ask you two questions.  One, we'd like you to explain how you know Deuces is innocent; you know these two better than just about anypony else, after all.  And two, if you could explain what brought you here tonight - this is the bachelor's party, after all, so I'm curious why you came with Mrs. Morningstar."

'...I really hope this works...'

[DoodleGhost]

"If that's your plan, then let me give you some advice. Don't present the bracelet upfront. She doesn't seem to know we have it. Ask her..." he said as he put his hoof to his chin. "...something simple. Don't make it sound like you're accusing her, though. These ponies seem rather fond of her."

"What if you take her somewhere where nopony else is?" Drip suggested.

"ARE YOU FIVE DONE MAKING OUT OVER THERE? I WANT THIS FINISHED TONIGHT!"

Drip Drop shuddered at the shout, but it was more annoying that he said make out. She shook her head out of the rants she made inside her head.

"Thanks for waiting.  We're gonna approach this from another angle.  Your case against Deuces has two major points: the love triangle between the two victims and the bride-to-be, and Deuces' confession.  Since Deuces is, as one reliable character witness once told me..."

'I'm voting on the love triangle point of view.

She kept on listening on Paladin's plan to ask Forget-me-not questions, as well as MorningStar as well.

((I was partially just waiting for Drip's opinion, but since she's been on and hasn't said anything...
And also... I'm not even sure this is the way to do this.  Wish me luck, everypony! ))

((Yikes! Sorry! Most of you guys already said what Drip was about to say, and she kept on listening. I should had posted that in character.. ))

[Zaal]

"Sorry, we spent too much time debating on whether to use tongue or not."

Razorback's eye began twitching in anger.

"Thanks for waiting. We're gonna approach this from another angle. Your case against Deuces has two major points: the love triangle between the two victims and the bride-to-be, and Deuces' confession.  Since Deuces is, as one reliable character witness once told me..."

"...the biggest lair you'll ever meet."

"...I'm inclined to disregard his 'confession' entirely. We were hoping to take the other path for the second... and ask you two questions.

"Me?" questioned Forget-me-not. She still looked very upset, but had stopped crying.

"One, we'd like you to explain how you know Deuces is innocent; you know these two better than just about anypony else, after all."

"W-well..." she started slowly. "I've known Dewey for years. He's like that little brother I never had. He's stuck by my side when my days were dark... I couldn't call myself his friend if I didn't try to help him."

"And two, if you could explain what brought you here tonight - this is the bachelor's party, after all, so I'm curious why you came with Mrs. Morningstar."

"A-Alright."

"Coming to the Club"

-I came here because I got bored with my bachelorette party.
-Hanging out with my sis, Wheels, and my other gal pals was fun...
-But I knew Cygnet, Rice, and Dewey would only stick around for the wedding.
-So I snuck away to make every moment I had count.
-Maybe if I just came here first… this wouldn’t have happened.

"Is... is that what you wanted to know?"

[Featherpen]

"..."

"What?"

Razorback's eye began twitching in anger.

Gear whistled innocently and kicked lightly at the ground.

"Coming to the Club"

-I came here because I got bored with my bachelorette party.

-Maybe if I just came here first… this wouldn’t have happened.

"Is... is that what you wanted to know?"

Gear just nodded and allowed himself to think over what Forget-me-not had said.

[DoodleGhost]

-So I snuck away to make every moment I had count.

"Excuse me," Drip Drop said, adjusting her hat for dramatic measures. "Do you mind if I ask why you had to make every moment count? You are engaged, and you could had have those moments at the wedding," she stated. "You did say so yourself that they would stick around for the wedding," Drip Drop said in a polite tone. 'Ah... Um... I'm pretty sure this pony knows my kind of personality. But hey, I like fooling ponies to think I'm an innocent mare' Drip chirped thoughtfully.

((Oh hey, same mistake I made. Rivals don't ask the questions.

I feel a lot better now that I've seen firsthoof somepony else make that same mistake.))

[DoodleGhost]

((OH. Man, mistakes. Maaaaan I should had known! If only I read the OOC throughly......))

[Jake O'Jack]

"Color me interested..." L.G. thought.

-Maybe if I just came here first… this wouldn’t have happened.

"Just a second," L.G. said. "Has anything like this happened between Duo and Gigajjjjjjjjjjjjwatt?..." she stopped herself, lest she distress Forget-Me-Not any further. "Have they ever fought before? I'm just wondering how you can be so sure you could have stopped this if you hadn't only just now arrived a few minutes ago... and not a second sooner..."

[PaladinLight]

"W-well..." she started slowly. "I've known Dewey for years. He's like that little brother I never had. He's stuck by my side when my days were dark... I couldn't call myself his friend if I didn't try to help him."

Paladin nodded.  'A good answer... except that I think she saw more than she's letting on.'

"A-Alright."

"Coming to the Club"

-I came here because I got bored with my bachelorette party.
-Hanging out with my sis, Wheels, and my other gal pals was fun...
-But I knew Cygnet, Rice, and Dewey would only stick around for the wedding.
-So I snuck away to make every moment I had count.
-Maybe if I just came here first… this wouldn’t have happened.

"Is... is that what you wanted to know?"

"We were hoping you could clarify a few points."

'...Honestly, I think I'm better off leaving the bachelorette party alone completely.  Maybe Looking Glass could get away with those questions, also being a mare... but it'd just be awkward for me to ask that sort of thing...'

((I'm assuming we're considering Drip's question voided?))

-Maybe if I just came here first… this wouldn’t have happened.

"Just a second," L.G. said. "Has anything like this happened between Duo and Gigajjjjjjjjjjjjwatt?... Have they ever fought before? I'm just wondering how you can be so sure you could have stopped this if you hadn't only just now arrived a few minutes ago... and not a second sooner..."

-So I snuck away to make every moment I had count.

"So what did you do after sneaking away from the bachelorette party?  How'd you end up with Mrs. Morningstar?"

[Featherpen]

"Just a second," L.G. said. "Has anything like this happened between Duo and Gigajjjjjjjjjjjjwatt?..." she stopped herself, lest she distress Forget-Me-Not any further. "Have they ever fought before? I'm just wondering how you can be so sure you could have stopped this if you hadn't only just now arrived a few minutes ago... and not a second sooner..."

Gear shot a look towards L.G. for the last part of what she said, but otherwise remained quiet. It was a valid inquiry.

"So what did you do after sneaking away from the bachelorette party?  How'd you end up with Mrs. Morningstar?"

Gear again said nothing. He was at least glad that his fellow investigators were asking good questions.

((Sorry, but I just can't think of a way to block either of these questions that wouldn't come off as unreasonable.  ))
