open starter / @nohopestarters​ where / the diner, obviously  what / jas may or may not be allowed near the kitchen for obvious reasons. tagging below, but content warning small kitchen fire ! 

“okay, i can explain - “ she started, even as she tried to figure out how the fuck one was supposed to use a fire extinguisher. there was a reason she was stuck on the floor, taking orders and serving pop instead of in the kitchen, where anyone could accidentally set something on fire. 

( who left a bag of chips that close to the burner? why wasn’t anyone there to pick up after her? this was insane, truly. ) 

the diner had been empty, but of course this would be when someone sauntered in. covered in what could only be described as ‘fire extinguisher juice’ ( did it have a name? ) she finally put the extinguisher down, watching the stovetop warily in case it started again. “okay, i can’t really explain it but like, it could be worse, right? hope you didn’t want a burger right now.”

“...Frick on a fucking stick. Have you seen a box of popsicle sticks and clothes hangers? Sorry, craft sticks. Popsicle is the name of the company, and I tragically didn’t get to lick all of the popsicle off of these sticks, so craft stick, it is,” Yona said, not quite caring whether the person nearest her actually wanted to listen to her ramble on about her latest problem on top of whatever else came to mind. If she had a problem, it was important not to keep it inside. ‘Conceal, don’t feel’ wasn’t a healthy way of going about life unless you wanted to cover a fantasy land with trolls in snow. Waving her hands around in a manner that did not connect in any particular way to what she was saying, Yona continued: “I need the hangers more than the sticks, but if you find a box without the sticks, then it’s probably not mine. Oh, well, I guess if there’s an unclaimed box of clothes hangers around, I’ll take that too. Hangers are expensive, you know? Agh. Wait, are you thinking about the big, uh, news thing? We can call this a good distraction from that.”

open starter / @nohopestarters​ location: on the rocks in new hope park content warning: mentions of murder

“What other evidence do they have?” Elijah continued on, fingers lightly rounding the beer bottle before taking another swig, eyes mindlessly trained on the Jayhawks game on the tv. “A child pointing fingers at her older brother who simply had the affinity for heavy metal music? It just sounds like a reach to me.” He didn’t know Molly, and he barely knew Scott but he knew Mary Ellis. And it didn’t make sense for Scott to murder his sweet mother who would have done anything for her children.

“Not to mention the lack of consistency... Different murder weapons... And no disrespect to him but without a high school education I doubt he’s smart enough to devise multiple methods to murder his family. Usually messy murders have only one weapon because multiple weapons... the user would need a strong sense of organization... Like you get what I’m sayin’ right?”
