The Great Pie Mystery

[seizeglory]

For the final time;

I did not steal that pie.

I'm hungry, Van.

Hungry.

You wouldn't make a guy like me starve, right? I mean, a friend of mine already called me a stick, you know?

[seizeglory]

And yet I'm the one being accused of theft. I had a full lunch; I had no need to steal any more food.

You're the more likely suspect than I.

[sniperism]

Like I said, I'm hungry; hear my stomach grumbling and my non-existent heart pumping like mad?

[seizeglory]

Then we must find the true thief and settle the matter once and for all.

[reinsofhistory]

Stolen pie? My my, quite the crime! I'm shocked, Commandant.

[seizeglory]

I'm not the criminal. I've only been unjustly accused.

I shall find the real criminal soon enough, mark my words.

[reinsofhistory]

You surprise me, Van! But t'is true I cannot abide a thief; do allow me to assist. What clues have you?

[seizeglory]

The pie was cherry so we at least know the thief's preference. They left few crumbs so they're clever enough to hide the evidence. I also know that the pie was left unguarded for the half-hour before dinner. It was mostly likely stolen within that time frame.

I've yet to find any suspects though.

Let me guess - the pie wanted you to eat it?

[seizeglory]

...What exactly are you trying to imply?

[so_wilder]

Heheh. Why is this such a big deal, anyway? It was just a pie, right? Make another one!

[seizeglory]

The pie doesn't matter to me as much as the accusation. I would never stoop so low as to steal a pie.

[f_alsity]

Rena can bake some pie if you'd like~.

[seizeglory]

That would be excellent; thank you.

[f_alsity]

Rena'll bake it right now! Rena just needs the ingredients..

To Caketown!

[seizeglory]

Would you like me to accompany you?

[seizeglory]

Ah, I see you know one of my students then.

Could you tell me where he is right now?

[seizeglory]

...He has long hair, if that's what you mean.
