I was reading about the murders that have been happening in this city since before I came.

What do you think the murderer does with the pieces of skin?

Uhh... murders? And pieces of skin? Hope it's not some sorta voodoo or anything, that stuff can be NASTY.

[horror_otaku]

Voodoo?

{ voice }

[gneeee]

Y-yeah, yanno. Like. Voodoo. Not something I like to dabble in. Reeeaaaaaaaaaaaally unpleasant for both, uh, involved parties.

[horror_otaku]

Do you think people really do voodoo here?

[unkingly]

... Throws them away, I hope.

[horror_otaku]

Why would you take a piece of skin if you're just going to throw it out?

[unkingly]

Why would you take it in the first place? Aside from trying to reenact Psycho. They'd start to smell!

[horror_otaku]

I don't know! That's what's so interesting to me.

I don't think it would after it dried out. Like my skeleton at home doesn't smell.

Trophy-taking is a comparative common facet of many serial killers' modi operandi. Usually they preserve these trophies as mementos of the kill.

[voice]

[horror_otaku]

But what do they do with the trophies? Do they put them in a scrapbook? Do they make something out of them?

[voice]

[mentis_reae]

We'll find that out when they are apprehended.

[voice]

[horror_otaku]

You don't even want to guess what they're doing?

Skin has a lot of uses.

Have you ever heard of Frankenstein's monster?

[text | filters remain as long as Sunako doesn't have to do something to make them work]

[horror_otaku]

Yes! Do you think they're building one?

[text | it's everything except 'untraceable', I think]

[heretic_monk]

Maybe. It's always depicted as having sewn-up patches of skin, though that's only the beginning of what they put together.

What about the murders caught your attention?

[text | filtered]

[horror_otaku]

Do you think they're going to start taking other body parts once they have enough skin?

I think it caught my attention because I like horror movies, and it sounded like something out of a horror movie.

voice; oh god these two *have* to meet at night

[callunaelectra]

...pieces of skin?

[ This is... something she's been trying to read as little as possible about. orz even though she's researching for Edgeworth. ]

Seriously? Um... it's probably just to freak people out, I'd guess.

[ SHE CAN THINK OF A MILLION OTHER THINGS but let's just go with that for now okay ]

voice; Yes! Sunako needs a real-life replacement for her anatomy doll friend from home

[horror_otaku]

Yes, the killer takes a heart-shaped piece of skin from each victim!

But even if they're just doing it to freak people out, they have to do something with the skin afterwards. It seems like a waste to just throw it out!

voice; agh sorry things keep popping up :<

[callunaelectra]

[ Well that's not sketchy at all. ]

Well, uh... maybe they just dispose of it as quickly as possible. You probably wouldn't want to leave evidence just lying around, anyway...

I mean, unless they were making some screwed-up quilt or something, heart-shaped skin pieces wouldn't really be useful for anything.

voice; It's OK. I keep replying as long as the comments keep coming in.

[horror_otaku]

Would there really be enough for a quilt?
