I ignore that comeback in favor of retrieving Gallsby's phone. I prop the phone up on his recently blunted claws, and he opens up his message.

From: Unlisted
Hey is this where I report issues on the street? It's a small town so it's probably okay. Route 591 coming into town has a couple of potholes that should probably be patched up. Just thought you should know, thanks.

>"Gee that's a lot of words just to say 'Frillsby give Gallsby your pants!"

Wait a second there buddy. Those potholes are no doubt criminal in nature! Why I bet some bad guy is digging up his own minefield to block the way into town as we speak!

That being said you probably owe him some slavery. But maybe not knowing this crazy town.

Who handles maintenance in his town? Are you going to have to relay this to the mayor?

"Hold on Gallsby, these could be criminal potholes."
>"Your lines of believability are really weird."
"I'm sure the potholes don't approve of criminal activity, but if someone were digging a minefield, that would be as criminal as it gets."
>"A minefield, Frillsby?"
"That's what I said."
>"A minefield though?!"
"We can't rule it out."

There isn't a maintenance hotline or anything like that, so calling us was fine. There is a construction company, but they're independent contractors and just get hired by the city to do the work.

We can go straight to the construction company, and just send a bill to the city if we want to have some initiative about it. Otherwise, we'd relay this to the mayor if we don't want to go over anyone's heads.

>>801535
Obviously you need to go investigate these potholes to see if they're criminal or not, so you know who's removing their pant.

Getting the potholes fixed is important yes. But that just takes a phone call.

What you need to be doing is going to the potholes and seeing if they are in fact a actual crime. If they are not you owe Gallsby 24 hours of slaveness.

If they are a crime on the other hand you get him as a slave for the day. So get out there and find out.

"I'll admit I might owe you some slave time, Gallsby, but first thing is first and we've got to deal with this?"
>"I mean do we?"
"Yes, or at least we should. We should assess the damages, and more importantly, check for any criminal acts or lack thereof. Let's go."

Route 591 is an old scenic road that's that rarely sees any running vehicle. We drive to the edge of town, and get out of our cars when it looks like there's some bad road conditions up ahead.

>"Do these count as potholes?" Gallsby asks.

>>801538
They do, but it must have been caused by a very large vehicle... A magical monster jam.

>>801538
They look criminal to me, Gallsby.

Either someone is wrecking the road on purpose (crime!) or we have someone corrupt or incompetent in government letting the roads go to hell. Embezzling repair funds or using the concrete to build themselves a pool or something.

Well the likelyhood of this being a actual crime just went up. Better start imagining what sort of lewd activities you will have Gallsby do if you win.

Investigate the holes further. And the area around her for evidence.

It looks like something with earth-movers for feet walked through. Anything at the bottom of the pits?

This just screams "giant robot".

>>801553

So... uh, how do you make an arrest on criminal giant robots that could probably demolish a good chunk of the state?

CAN you actually call in an airstrike or artillery strike for such things?

What's the nearest military base with some useful hardware, assuming there IS a giant robot on the loose?

This could be a giant robot. But If it's not a robot and just someone that used magic to make themselves giant, then Frillsby and Gallsby just need to touch the giant to make him/her shrink down so that they can arrest him/her. I guess it's a good thing they're anti-magic

"No, Gallsby, you know what they do count as? Crimes."
>"But then where's the criminal?"
"Well, since no one's standing at a lip of any of these holes shouting about how they dug it all up, I'm stumped."
>"Every crime has a criminal, so unless we find a criminal, you can't say this is a crime!"
"That's reasonable."
>"I know."
"Have any idea what dug these holes?"
>"A giant, walking robot."
"I hope not."
>"Why not then we can just touch it and it'll shut down because there's no way a giant walking robot can exist without magic."
"I'm not sure about anything regarding the last few sentences. Let's get other ideas."
>"No we gotta think of all the options! This just screams giant robot. Can we call in airstrikes or artillery? Where's the nearest military base with planes and bombers and useful stuff for giant robots or huge monster trucks?"

I look inside the holes. There's clumps of asphalt around, but there's also a lot of chunks of concrete. I clear away some of the rubble and find empty holes, with empty conduits inside. I think this is an abandoned power line, and whatever was in here was taken out. Namely copper.

>"Frillsby are you ignoring me?!"
"Yes."
>"WOW!"
"I think we're dealing with a copper thief."
>"I like my ideas better."

Next step: talk to the local copper scrappers. Someone sold some power cables to them, and that's not protected information.

Well maybe if you're lucky he was stealing the copper for his giant robot.

What now? Is there a trail to follow? A black market to scope out? Someone in town with magic metal sniffing powers you can recruit to follow the stolen copper?

>>801924

Clearly they're in the line of high-end cookware which is also enchanted. You know that shit is made entirely of copper (and magic); that's why it's so lucrative!

Lucrative enough for crimes.

Like digging holes in a road to steal all the copper.

Either it's a abandoned power cable, or you've got a copper thief who's immune to electricity. Go to the local scrappy to see if anyone's sold them some copper cabling.

Places to check for evidence.

1. Metal scrappers.
2. Heavy equipment rental places.
3. Interview people at the diesel gas station.
4. Anyone who might need lots of copper. (artists, giant robot builders, etc)

As long as whatever caused this was not a giant copper eating monster this is a crime. Someone ruined a public road for whatever reason. Even if they got permission they dug up a public road and did not leave any signs or road cones.

So you most likely won the bet unless we track down a giant copper eating mole.

>"Yeah!"
"Anyways, this calls for an investigation."
>"Like a mystery or like actual police work?"
"Like actual police work."
>"Cool! Who're we going to check out."
"These holes look, well, bad, but our criminal - " Gallsby makes a face at me. "Our possible criminal still probably used heavy equipment to dig them up. There's the construction company in town that we can check out, but I don't remember them dealing with rentals. Might be worth stopping by to see. We have only one gas station in town, and chances are pretty good that a vehicle like that would need diesel fuel before getting to the next station. There's also a small scrap yard on the outskirts of town."
>"What about mild mannered neighbors that need copper and secretly live a night life of stealing copper to make ends meet?"
"Considering that there's a whole lot of places that aren't Dorb to dick up copper, a local person is definitely possible!"
>"To what up copper?"
"To dig up copper."
>"Oh okay yeah that's what you said. So where to first?"

>>801950
Let's go with the gas station for now. That will solidify our remaining leads.

Remember that the crime is not necessarily copper theft as the lines might be abandoned. But destroying a public road.

Lets hit the gas station and then the equipment yard. Whoever stole this is working at a scale that implies more than a junkie looking for scrap metal.

Oh also are there any magic dudes in town that can dig like this without equipment? Look for dig marks and or tread tracks before we leave.

>>801950
Gas station first.

Oh, one possibility we didn't consider is that someone used magic to rip up the road. Don't need a construction vehicle for that.

Dang, Gallsby can't buy anything. Buy a pen and lord it over Gallsby.

Trihype, supposedly putting the max legal limits of various energy based ingredients.

Magi, a more local drink that claims to be magically enhanced.

Then... 'Fizzy Drink', which judging by the broken english and foreign language I can't make out, is some kind of imported drink. It has a 'NOT A FOOD' label, and as such does not follow normal food regulations.

>>802605
Magi is right out. It might not work on you.

Go for 'Fizzy Drink'! How can you turn down a good fun swallow?

Ask if Gallsby can offer the manager some Full Service to make up for being a menace to society.

Also, Fizzy Drink seems like an adventure in a can, go for it!

Buy all three and shotgun them together. Its the only way.

Get some fuzzy drink. Be sure to make some terrible innuendo when you put it on the counter. "You know what else is a good fun swallow?"

Now that I think about it, the gas station guy might not be wearing shoes behind the counter! As an officer, you have to make sure that he's following his own rules.

And yet, the sign doesn't say anything about pants, so he might not be wearing those behind that counter.

>>802605
Trihype doesn't sound good.

If Magi really is magically enhanced, then you and Gallsby will only taste the unenhanced flavors because of your anti magic.

Hey, look at that! Fizzy Drink looks like it's got a fun little cartoon on the back of the can! How can you say no to something with a cartoon on it? Let's get that!

Make sure you also get one for Gallsby!

Get dat Fuzzy Drank!

Also don't forget to help Gallsby put his shirt on.

>>802618

>>802605
Fizzy Drink is possibly-illegal drugs being passed off as a non-food energy drink. Do not buy that.

The thought occurs to get all three, but I can get other energy drinks another time. I need to set a good example for Gallsby by showing a tiny amount of restraint.

Which is why I am getting two cans of Fizzy Drink, even though getting Fizzy Drink in the first place isn't the most responsible choice. It'll be fine, I'm sure.

I look at the back of Fizzy Drink to see about a little cartoon. What I was looking at turns out to be poorly printed, near illegible text in a different language, but coincidentally there's still a little cartoon. It only raises the amount of questions I have.

To the scrappy!

>>802750
Gallsby looks like if he flexes his muscles hard enough, he'll end up ripping that shirt even more and it'll fall off!

>Where to?
Let's try the Scrapyard.

>>802750
Scrapyard.

Check the scrapyard. If a local was brazen or dumb enough to rip electrical cable out of the road for scrap value, they'd be brazen or dumb enough to sell it to the local scrapyard. ...Which does raise the question of how much they'd actually get for it compared to how much money they spent to dig it up. Copper scrap can't be going for so much that it'd be profitable enough to illegally dig it out of a road, right? Better ask the price of copper scrap once you get to the scrapyard to find out.

Also, do you remember if there was rubble from where the road was dug up dumped near the road? 'Cause if there's no sign of the asphalt and dirt, the perpetrator had to get rid of it as well. Maybe by magic, or maybe by dump truck. And they'd also need a means to transport the looted copper cable, so that means magic, throwing it on top of the dump truck's rubble load or using another truck. Counting a excavator, that's two or three heavy, noisy vehicles that people may have noticed heading out that way. Oh, and they'd have to pull the cable out of the conduits, so that's another piece of heavy machinery they'd need to do the job. This is really starting to look way more involved than makes sense for stealing copper cable, doesn't it?

>"This means I can service now!"
Actually, Gallsby still can't 'cause he isn't wearing any shoes or other footwear. (Last image showing his feet was in thread 2, >>/questarch/721270, and I'm not going to re-read everything to check if he started wearing shoes after that point.) And since it's highly doubtful that this gas station also has GoGo Gas branded sandals in Gallsby's size, for the time being all (legal) servicing will have to be performed by Frillsby. Sorry, Gallsby.

Let's go scrapping at the scrap yard!

Recalling the scene of the crime, there was no rubble to the side, and the holes weren't filled in, so there wass definitely a deficiency of road material.

Magic is starting to look more and more likely. If it was cost effective to pull out the copper using normal heavy machinery, then I would think that the city, or whoever's in charge of it, would've taken it all out as part of the abandonment process.

"Let's go to the scrapyard, Gallsby. Maybe they'll serve you, unless they want shoes, too."
"Wait, you guys aren't wearing any shoes?" Icarus asks.
>"Frillsby that's our cue to get outta here! What're those drinks you got there?" Gallsby asks while we take said cue.
"Fizzy Drink. No idea what it is, but it was in the energy drink section."

"I know, that's why I got them."

>"You better not think it gets to me because it doesn't! I don't care. Nope no way it's getting to me. I can totally hold a pen."
"Yeah, well I bet you can't do this."

I start twirling the pen in my hand. I remember that I never twirled pens before, and I immediately drop it, and it bounces into a storm drain.

>"Haha do you believe in karma?!"
"This is a very biased time in my life to be asking that. I even got you a lotto ticket to show how much better you are at scratching those off."
>"What that's so nice you should've said that first before twirling pens in my face!"
"Just try not to flex your fluff, you'll rip your undersized shirt."
>"You're asking a lot. My fluff is too powerful for these constraints."

We'll head to the scrapyard next, but now that I hold these energy drinks in my bag, I realize that this may be too much power. We can drink them now, or save it for some kind of special occasion, someday.

There can't be many people selling wire of that size. Ask to see their recent acquisitions.

He got really nervous really fast as soon as you guys mentioned you were cops. He's not doing anything illegal here is he?

>>804207
Scrap yards are technically not illegal but they accept stolen scrap very frequently. Obviously stolen scrap, even.

Maybe it would be best to reassure him about that? Tell him we're just looking for someone that tore huge holes in the road to get at some copper cables. The copper itself being stolen isn't the big deal, here, it's the road damage.

Hey, that sign says "no questions asked", but he just asked two or maybe three questions if you count "copper scrap?" as a question.

That's false advertising!

Cute ears Gale.

So Gale do you know about municipal ordinance 113b? I mean working as a scrapyard tech I would certainly hope you would.

It clearly states that if any scrapyard employee knowingly or unknowingly buys stolen scrap they are subject to numerous legal penalties.

For instance having Gallsby here nibble on your ears in sensual fashion.

Serious business Gale. But also I am just screwing with you.

But back to the point. Did you get any heavy duty copper or aluminum wires in recently? Like municipal backbone stuff from a underground power line?

Also can we take a look around your fine scrapyard?

"Can you be more specific, as to what kind of copper you get every day?"
>"Just some people dumping off old phones and pieces of car and whatever. Copper's all over the place. Were you, uh, looking for some copper from a certain source?"
>"You sure ask a lot of questions for someone in front of a 'no questions asked' sign!" says Gallsby, raising a good point.
>"Ahah yes well that's more for inside the store itself. If you guys are inside, you won't hear a question from me!"
"Yes. We're looking for some big copper wire sales."

He leads us down into the basement, where it looks like there's an assortment of storage units. He leads us to the one that says 'copper' and opens it up. We walk inside.

>"Well there is it. All my.... uh... copper."
"I don't see any."
>"Also, there's a big tunnel in the back of this copper room." Gallsby adds.
>"... the hell."
>"Well, I guess it's just become a copper room again, now that we're here, huh Frillsby!!"
"How long have you been waiting that copper joke, Gallsby?"
>"We'd better be careful not to get stolen!! Also ever since we saw stolen copper!"

>"Where the hell is all my copper?!" asks Gale.

Follow that tunnel!

>>804220
Oh dear. Looks like someone is stealing copper to either sell it to a different scrapyard, or to do something else with it.

Tell Gale you'll try to get his stolen materials back. Let's go into the tunnel!

Well if that isn't a crime I don't know what is. Follow the tunnel, maybe?

Gale I am sorry to say you have been burgled. When was the last time anyone was in this room?

Also have Gallsy go check to see where that hole goes to.

So I guess the question now is do you know anyone with tunneling powers or a pet giant mole? Maybe the mole is magic?

(Hmmm if it is a giant copper eating mole this is only a crime if its a intelligent giant mole. Otherwise it would just be a pest issue. So be prepared to throw the book at a mole so you don't loose the bet.)

>>804220
"looks like we are going to have to plunge deep and long into this tunnel to get to the bottom of this shitshow."

Do you all know anything about forensics? Maybe there are clues! Time to search the room for clues on who/what did this!

Look how good police you guys are you managed to arrive to investigate a crime before the person it happened to even reported it

Gale throws up his hands.

>"Ya think?!"
"Don't worry, we'll get to the bottom of this."
>"We'll go long." says Gallsby.
"And we'll go hard. I don't suppose you'd conveniently know of anyone with tunneling abilities?"
>"Or a giant pet mole?"
"Can't rule that either."
>"Uhhh..." Gale looks around. Apparently it's a question he needs to think about. "No. Not like this, no. You're sure you can capture who stole my copper?"
"Yeah. I'm sure."
>"We're good cops." Gallsby says.
"So good we got to the scene of a crime before it even happened."

Gale lets out something I think is a cut off laugh.

>"Har."

>Do you all know anything about forensics?
Not much, but we have someone who we go to for all of our forensic needs.

For now, I look into the tunnel, but it doesn't look that structurally sound. There's some odd etch marks near the entrance.

>>804444
...could be outright set up to collapse on the first person to investigate. Poke it with a stick!

>>804444
Looks sorta like a fist?

Call your forensics guys, then head on in, heedless of the danger.

Get some cell phone pics and have Gale lock the room off. Then get your forensic guy a ring.

Are those.....teeth marks?

Call in your forensics guy! CSI/Lab Tech/Detective/Geeky guy with the cool blue light!

Okay, first, hold still, tell Gallsby to hold still, and look at the floor for footprints that aren't either yours, his or Gale's. Anybody who walked down a dirt tunnel like this one is bound to have tracked soil in here and might have left a footprint. You just gotta hope you two lunkheads didn't walk over 'em. If you spot some, take a phone picture of them and make sure not to step on them.

Second, call your forensics person out here to do a proper evidence collection. Third, borrow Gallsby's phone, flick its flashlight mode on, and have him hold it up to light the tunnel so you can get better photos of it and the etch marks with your phone than if you used its flash alone. Get multiple angles. And if Gallsby's phone doesn't have a flashlight mode, ask Gale if he could lend you a flashlight.

Next, you two carefully pick your way back to the entrance and ask Gale when was the last time he or anyone else he knows of was down in the copper scrap storage. That'll establish the time after which the place was cleaned out.

Then go with Gale to check if any of the other scrap storage areas was tunneled into, along with any other areas of the scrapyard that could be tunneled into that contain more valuable, non-scrap items. It's possible the burglar may have taken more than just copper scrap while they were here.

Also point out that if there's anything heavy on the level above the tunneled out corner of the basement it should be moved since the structural integrity of the foundation is compromised. Probably gonna need to stick some temporary supports in here after the forensics work is done so the floor or wall above doesn't collapse.

>>804444
might as well see if forensics dude can get anything from this location.

"Hold on Gallsby, we need to do this carefully. There's evidence, and stuff. I'm going to text our forensics guy to get over here, and take some pictures of this crime scene. Let me borrow your phone to light it up for better pictures."
>"Okay! Should we get out the crime tape?"
"No, Gallsby, the last time I let you have the tape, it looked like the crime scene was toilet papered, except with crime tape."
>"It was a crime so perfect that it wasn't even a crime."
"That's wrong. Multiple forms of wrong."

While we wait for our forensics, we try to find some footprints either down here or out there, but even though it looks like all the dirt is disturbed, we don't see anything that looks like footprints. Everything up top is clear, so it won't be a big deal if this tunnel collapses. We'd poke our head in, but having tons of rocks fall on us is definitely not magically inflicted damage.

Our forensics guy comes while we're down in the storage cell.

"Oh hi Frillsby hi Gallsby!" says Yams. "What do you need lifted? I can lift anything!"
"We have a mystery on our hands. We need forensics."
"Oh gosh I told you guys before I don't really know anything about forensics! I'm really only good at lifting things!"
"Yeah, and we need to lift the shroud of mystery away from this crime. You've done it before."
"I still don't know! I kind of meant physical objects, you guys!"
"Someone made this tunnel, probably with magic, but those look like teeth marks."
"Yeah they do, good work Frillsby! I can pull off this rock, take it back to my forensics kit and test for saliva? And find their DNA I guess?"
>"See Yams you even have a forensics kit!"
"Yeah you guys asked for this kind of thing before and I just knew I had to help, so I picked one up. Now I'm glad I kept it around!
"And that's why we call you for help, Yams."

It'll take awhile for Yams to do his lifting, so Gallsby and I have some time to either faff about, or not.

Well, you should tell Yams about Gallsby biting the rocks there just now, so he doesn't get confused.

>>804712
I guess let's go talk to some local people and see if they're missing any copper.

Yams had better take a bite mark and saliva sample from Gallsby to rule him out since he went and bit a rock.

...biting Yams would probably work, right?

Check out the other side of the tunnel, the culprit may have left more evidence there. Whoever dug it probably took the shortest possible route, so the entrance should be right outside the scrapyard fence.

Also, are they any known magical uses for a crap load of copper? The thief has to be doing something with it.

Ask Gallsby if the tunnel tasted like copper at all?

I think Gallsby should faff about. In Frillsby's butt parts. Not enough of that today, and you're just waiting on Yams anyway right?

>Also, are they any known magical uses for a crap load of copper?
None that I've heard of, but if someone can make magical use out of donuts but not biscuits, then there's almost certainly a magical use for copper.

"Anyways, Yams. Gallsby here took a bit out of the rock to see what teeth marks look like."
>"Mine aren't like the culprit's at all!"
"Correct, and neither is the saliva, so Yams, make sure you get a sample of Gallsby's so that all your work doesn't accuse Gallsby of a crime he probably didn't commit."
"We wouldn't want that!"
>"What do you mean probably?!"
"You chomped down on that rock pretty happily. Did the tunnel taste like copper?"
>"No it tasted like dirt, and my mouth is nothing like his! Yams should take a sample of my bite marks, too."
"I'd like to, but I don't have anything on me that would make a good imprint."
>"There's you, Yams! I could bite you!"
"That should be fine as long as you don't do it too hard!"

It's barely fine, but it's fine enough to happen.

"Hahaha that tickles that ticklOKAY TOO HARD."

"Gale, I'll let you know when we find something."
>"Tell me honestly, officer, what are the chances I'm ever going to see my copper again?"
"With the revelation that our perpetrator may simply eat rocks, ore and minerals, there's a good chance the copper is gone. If that's the case, then you'll just have to get a lawyer to settle dues."
>"Okay. I really need it back, you know."
"Alright. Gallsby, let's go."

>Do stuff with locals
>Do stuff with Gallsbys
I think I can manage both. For the locals, I've should compile a list of questions that I'll be asking.

We should track down someone who knows magic junk and see what copper might be used for.

We should track down someone who knows science and engineering junk and see what copper might be used for.

;)

>>804930
Can you do sexual stuff with Gallsby though? That takes focus!

Find out if anyone new's come into town within the past 3 days. Especially anyone who's been asking about copper or been seen carrying around copper in their vehicle or on their person. Ask about anyone who's got magic able to dig through rock.

>our perpetrator may simply eat rocks, ore and minerals

Is there someone you can ask about magical copper-eating beasts? Maybe this is more of a animal control issue than a theft.

We make another pass at the top side of the tunnel, but the tunnel was dug in a clearing, so we just have Gale set a perimeter around the tunnel until it can be properly filled in.

Gallsby and I say goodbye, then drive off to a private parking spot so that Gallsby and I can focus on the case. I begin calling people while Gallsby does as Gallsbys do.

"Villi's speaking! How can I help?"
"Hey Villi, it's Frillsby."
"Oh hi!"
"I'm on a case. Do you know about what magical uses copper might be used for?"
"Oh, huh, hum... uh... geez, could be a lot! I think I had a great uncle that could turn gold into lead by licking it."
"Did it work in reverse."
"No, it... our family considers it their greatest missed jackpot, and family gatherings always turn into where we'd all be if his magic was able to be reversed. It's not healthy, and that's probably why Mr. Rocky hates family gatherings most of... ack, sorry, I'm doing it too now, sorry!""
"No worries, Villi. Now, have you seen or heard of anyone who's came into town recently? With an enormous mouth?"

Randy would be good to call.

"Hello, friend, thank you for calling Randy's Diner, how may I be of service?"
"Hey, Randy, do you have a minute to talk?"
"Certainly."
"You know things about engineering and science, correct?"
"I am no licensed engineer, but I have been known to have practiced knowledge to the physical elements."
"What might copper be used for, if someone were eating it?"
"Eating? I have never attempted to use it in my dishes, but I admit, the thought simply never occurred to me. Is it someone who eats it for magical purposes?"
"Probably. Also, it may not be a person, but just an animal."
"Of course. Well, copper has great uses, but primarily because it's such a good conductor of heat and electricity. Now mind, that it isn't necessarily the best at such tasks, but not just is it good, but it is relatively cheap compared to the alternatives. For a magical creature to eat it? Have you heard of the saying 'you are what you eat'? Perhaps this magical beast is the same way, and its own properties are used to transfer heat, electricity, or both. That, or alternatively, this creature is the sort of social butterfly that is not the funniest or most helpful, but is always available to their peers."
"That may be helpful. Have you seen anyone with a big mouth, or otherwise suspicious, that's come into town in the last three days?"
"I can confidently say that if such an individual has entered the town, then they came and left in a manner most unceremonious. And if it were a beast, then they are just a small one."
"Alright. Thank you, Randy."
"I am always glad to be of service. Do stop by soon, so that I may serve later in ways that compliment my expertise."

I spend some time calling up a few others, but I get no new information. There are a couple of people that might be able to use their magic to dig through rock, but not in the ways we've seen.

I'm almost stumped for who else to call, when Yams calls.

"Hey, Yams. What's going on."
"Well, heh, I kinda got results..."
"Really? That's sooner than I expected."
"Yeahhhhhh.... there was no saliva or, well, anything at all."
"Is that so?"
"Yeah! Whoever took a bite out of it must have the cleanest, driest mouth ever! That or washed the rock, but I'm not finding evidence of that either. There's really just a handful of rocks in that tunnel that just have dents that form the same of a mouth. Sorry, guys."

Or... the creature that ate the copper was A ROBOT!!

Obviously a being with wires and stuff for insides would need copper, and a giant robo mouth wouldn't leave any saliva or anything!

If it is something that chewed out that tunnel it might be non organic. Like a elemental creature or something like it?

Best to not focus on the bite mark thing to much as it might be a red herring.

Ask Yams if he can check the "bites" for any signs of metal. If it had metal or diamond or whatever teeth he should be able to get some hints by looking at it under a microscope.

As for you two why not check out the local power company? See if they noticed the lines missing and when.

Gallsby you are not working hard enough down there if Frillsby can talk to three people that calmly.

You need to up your game and get him squirming and gasping.

>>804995
Sounding more like a robot, then.

Thanks, Yams.

Who knows anything about robot hunting?

>>804995
So we're looking for a robot or a golem. Golem's probably more likely. Still no leads on how to find the thing though, huh? Hey, Yams should at least be able to tell you what size mouth this thing has.

OH. We could maybe set a trap for it if we can locate a bunch of copper?

"... so we might have a robot on our hands. Perhaps an elemental or golem?"

Gallsby's eyes light up.

>Gallsby not working hard enough
He's doing fine. I have perfected my blowjob recipient composure.

"Yams, can you look into the teeth marks to find if it looks like a certain metal was used?"
"Yeah, actually, I was just thinking! I'll double check, but the marks looked like they were made out of steel, if I really had to guess. Uh, same as just what was used to make the tunnel, with big claws or something?"
"How big is the mouth?"
"I think the front tooth to the back tooth is about the size of your head. Including your frills."
"Alright. Let me know if you notice anything else, Yams, thank you."

Someone in town may know a thing or two about fighting robots. Maybe Randy or Khivat, but that's just a guess.

I make some calls to the power company, but since the road lines were abandoned, they have no monitoring system active to detect any breaks in the line. No other lines are detected or reported as broken.

>"A trap!" Gallsby pulls back to say.
"Yes, a trap might help, or just a stakeout if we know where they'll strike next."

>>805050
Well let's figure it out then: where's the next biggest load of copper our criminals are gonna blow?

>>805050
If the perp isn't going after copper that's in use... is there a garbage dump nearby? Not all copper winds up in the hands of the scrapyard, after all.

Are there any mad scientists in town? Or mysterious research labs? Or old spooky universities?

Might want to track down anyone who might have built a robot.

As for a trap well you could find a big pile of copper and make sure news gets out about it existence. Then wait and watch it.

Have Gallsby finish you off and then switch places and take care of his dick while he is driving to the next spot on the list.

I would try to find any robot making scientists in town. Or find a metal refinery and put out a add for a copper festival or something to lure the perp in.

>>805050
You know, if its a big powerful robot, magical or not it probably has a large electronic signature. If you have a dude that can sense electromagnetic waves either trough magic ability or through a big radar that would help. Know any military base if you don't know anyone personally? I'm sure they might help with that.

Dickslap Gallsby a little and tell him to work the balls

The power company must have some spools of copper wire and such for maintenance and new construction. See if there's a storage facility you can stake out.

...hey, we could ask the scrapyard guy who he usually sells copper to. His customers could get hit too!

>"There's one right in front of me!"
"... work the balls, Gallsby. There's no real stockpiles. The spare stuff the power company would use would probably be in neighoring towns, not in this little hamlet. I don't think anyone here makes robots, or is a mad scientist, or anything like that. If they do, they're well hidden, and we wouldn't be able to get the military to try to detect something like that unless we had proof."

I call Gale again, and get the information that he typically sells mass amounts of copper to Jacksonville, but keeps scraps of it around for small time use around town, but there's no other big stores of it.

The only other place with a lot of copper is the road that was damaged. Come to think of it, the copper was removed between the dug holes, but not beyond those. So, there must still be a lot of copper in that road, since the few holes there were only covering a small stretch.

>>805650
The only way blowjob karma is a thing would be if Gallsby is enforcing it. Is Gallsby holding things up to get a blowjob? That's obstruction of justice!

No such thing as blowjob karma! Do police work, THEN you can negotiate blowjob stuff. As a reward.

>>805650
We must go to Villi's for blowjobs and buttpoundings

>>805650
Knock on the door. Check around back. Generally investigate.

>>805650
You have nothing really else to do besides think what to do next, and it can be less about the Karma and giving back to your friend (boyfriend? Roommate with benefits? Cop Partner with benefits? I don't actually know what you mean to each other) what he gave, so you can blow while you think about options.

Also, so you can pound dat ass later and not feel guilty about it. Order of perations and that. Also so that Frillsby will stop annoying you about Blowjob Karma, you can bear teeth a little bit if he starts thinking your affirming blowjob karma.

Also, you can literally say that if blowjob karma exists, its magic, and magic doesn't effect you two, so that's not the explanation for the events.

>>805654
Yeah you're right, It's the only way to get the copper back.

>>805650
This place closes at 5, so since it's only 3, there should be someone here! The fact that everything is quiet and no one is here, means something is wrong! Very, very wrong!

You guys should head inside and see if you can find out what's going on. For all you know, they could be tied up and gagged and locked in a room somewhere, while a criminal and/or a group of criminals are doing bad things!

Might as well test this karma idea. At the doughnut shop.

>>805657
>Also, you can literally say that if blowjob karma exists, its magic, and magic doesn't effect you two, so that's not the explanation for the events.
Also, this.

>>805664
The best cop out.

Which you are entitled to take. As a cop.

Enter the premises without asking permission, as police officer do.

>>805672
They need a warrant, or else there will be lawsuits.

>>805673
They are the law!

>>805678
They're law enforcers. They have to follow the law more than anyone else, lest they become corrupt.

>>805679
Actually, they won't be breaking a law.

According to a few internet searches, "There are cases in which police can legally search without a warrant if probable cause is established or if consent is given by an individual."

All we need is to establish a probable cause, since there isn't anyone here to give consent.

>>805680
We don't have probable cause, therefore we cannot legally go in. Going in would be breaking the law.

You must counter his argument with vigorous pounding, and there's a good reason: If you really give it to him, and things go right, then his blowjob karma theory is completely out the window. A generalized lewd karma system would have to be further explored, but we can take this one step at a time.

Also you could just sneak into the office and find some evidence or something that way but who cares about that?

Why not just have a stakeout? You can blow Gallsby while you wait for something to happen.

>>805693
That works. Or at least head to the goat to get some doughnut holes filled.

>>805650

I would sooner believe in Impending Butt-Stuff Karma.

Because your boner is pointing right towards Gallsby's posterior.

>>805698

I see what you did there, and I heartily approve. Let's get Villi, get some munchies, help scrub some dishes to pass the time, and see if he has any "specials" on "donut holes."

>>805690
But this is a fictional setting! Real world logic about the law probably doesn't apply here, so they might be allowed to go in anyways. Especially if Gallsby decides to go in when Frillsby says not to and has to follow him in.

Or we could just say this place of business closing early without any noticeable reason and not being a holiday of some kind, is considered suspicious.

>>805704

Maybe their lunch ran really late because they had to keep up with Blowjob Karma?

Right, something doesn't seem right here. Call out to see if anyone's in, since it could just be someone on their break? Definitely investigate though, do you need to get a warrant or something first?

You're cops in hot pursuit of criminal activity! I'd say that's enough of a reason to charge in even though they're closed!

"Maybe, Gallsby, maybe we'll do something about this 'blowjob karma', but it can't effect us."
>"Why so?"
"If such a thing existed, then it would be magical."
>"Oh right anti-magic. Yeah okay but it can affect everything around us, and our surroundings can affect us! Like this place being closed!"
"True. Which is why before we do anything, we're going to snoop around this agency to make sure there's no criminals inside."

"What? No. We're just going to look in the windows and maybe the back area. That's it."

We look around, but the place is quiet. We can see clearly inside, and it doesn't look like there's been a struggle or anything like that, so no probable cause justification for entering without a warrant. Most likely, the owners just decided to take off early or something. It happens from time to time, if business is slow.

"Something so ridiculous takes effort to describe."

I bet he doesn't even have any customers right now Frillsby. everyone is at work or somewhere that is not a bakery I bet.

>>805929
Some people take late lunches, like those who start at noon or 11 ish. That shift.

3 is also when schools get out, so he's probably serving a bunch of teens and kids.

Do we want to arrest ourselves and make all three of us sex offenders when we're caught by minors?

Stop by the donut shop to get donuts. And if things are slow persuade Villi to join you both for a 15 minute break upstairs. Will not break any health rules if you do it in private and wash your hands after.

I mean he already owes Gallsby a blowjob so you need to save him from the cruel fate of a blowjob karmic imbalance.

If you both work on Gallsby at the same time it should fix things nicely.

>>805936

OH NO YOU'RE RIGHT.

Okay, let's test this theory. Pound Gallsby in the butt right here and now (behind the car, that is) then we'll go find Villi and get him to give Gallsby a blowjob. If everything turns out dandy for Villi, then maybe blowjob karma is real. If nothing happens and we just end up pounding Gallsby in the butt and he gets a blowjob, well ... we'll write it down and then it counts as science.

Wait wait wait. Forget blowjob karma.

What about bet karma? We've clearly established the missing copper is a crime now, so Gallsby owes you his pants.

Pants karma!

>>805955
Don't call it that. You'll just give Gallsby a reason not to give up his pants by using the "karma can't affect us since we're anti-magic" logic that Frillsby just used on him!

We gotta get a wide set of evidence here to make sure what kinds of karma are and are not happening here. Buttstuff here (which has the added bonus of being able to keep an eye on the office), then blowjobs with the gote. Then we see what happens!

>"Okay, so here's the plan Frillsby. You grind me and we find out that everything gets even worse, and then we go to Villi's and resolve that and everything becomes fine for him! Is that right, does this chart look right to you?"

Next, we clean up and get to Villi's.

"Oh, hey! Customers! I think. Are you customers or is this police business? I mean it's fine but - can I get you guys coffee or anything?"
"Is it usually this slow, Villi?"
"No! I don't know what it is, but I've had, just, no business at all today."

Gallsby gives me that same stupid look, and I have to admit this is getting weird.

>>806358
Quickly remake the chart of karma and explain that he must do the job of blows that involves sucking.

>>806361
Remake the chart in a a purchased loaf of bread, thus becoming customers as well.

So how does your blowjob theory work Gallsby, in regards to orgasms. If Gallsby just orgasmed when you did the thing with his butt, its going to be harder for Villi to finish Gallsby unless Gallsby's always good for a quick round two.

Does Gallsby HAVE to orgasm, or does he just have to get a blowjob for a little bit?

>>806358
Uh guys maybe you should check the news? There could be some sort of natural disaster coming this way, or a big event in town that's drawing people to it.

>>806356
Now there's gonna be car damage karma.

>>806358
It's a conspiracy. I don't know how, but it has to be.

>>806358
Does Villi still have those handcuffs on his arm? Might want to help him with that.

Also, you can easily disprove what Gallsby said by being customers before getting the blowjob. Because if the blowjob is what's preventing customers, if you go in as customers first, something will have to stop you in order for Villi to continue not having customers! And it doesn't count if Gallsby tries to stop you because that's just him not wanting to be proven wrong.

This is possibility.

I see Villi's hands at some point, and see that he managed to get the handcuffs off. Somehow.

"It's definitely not any karma that Gallsby believes in."
>"Blowjob karma!"
"Gallsby! Polite company voice."
>"Oh sorry. Vacuum good time karma. Villi I want to get some bread. I'll draw you the chart for what I'm talking about!"
"I'm not sure I'll be any less confused! But I'd love to sell some bread."
"Okay, I'll - damn, my wallet. Did... no, I just forgot to bring it with me! Gallsby, do you have yours?"
>"Nnnope, the karma made it disappear!"

I check my phone for news. There aren't any natural disasters, or reports about overwhelming karma.

"That's okay, I'll just put a bread on loan, and you can pay me back. It's not usual, but I know you guys will be good for it, and, well, I could really ring something up."

Maybe just ask Villi straight up if he knows where everyone went. Also explain that Gallsby wants to cash in his rain check.

>no wallet
So you've been driving around without a license? You'll have to arrest yourself.

>>806689
>"Nnnope, the karma made it disappear!"
You better check his pockets to make sure that he's telling the truth!

>"That's okay, I'll just put a bread on loan, and you can pay me back. It's not usual, but I know you guys will be good for it, and, well, I could really ring something up."
See? Even though it's a bread on loan, it still counts as a purchase. Which means Villi has customers! Thus proving that Gallsby is wrong!

>>806689
Gallsby nows when I have to call bullshit when the karma can make our wallets disappear. That's straight up direct magic.

If a magic pickpocket couldn't teleport it off our person, neither could karma. Nor would it make me forget my wallet at home.

And it shouldn't affect YOUR surroundings at all, because you GAVE the blowjob. Something ELSE is afoot here.
Unless you're lying about the wallet.

Gallsby do the obvious thing.
Frillsby can you tell if anyone's made everyone in town invisible somehow? That would explain why the town seems mostly deserted and why your wallets are missing. Invisible pickpocket.

>>806863
Isn't poor Villi just gonna fall asleep on your dick if he tries to pay you back?

With his power and your anti magic basically the only time you can do anything is right after a good night's sleep.

Karma isn't magic, guys, it's just a natural balancing of the universe. Everything naturally seeks the state of most balance, that's entropy. Karma is only another form of the same! Anti-magic won't work on it any more than it works against other natural phenomena, like gravity, or electromagnetism, or the queue you join always moving slower than the others.

>>806863
>"Even if it's a loan, it's still a purchase, right?"
>Y-yeah!
There you go! That officially proves it's not karma that's stopping Villi from getting customers! Because if it was, then something would've stopped you from being customers right now!

Which means something else is going on around here!

Well Frillsby you work together with the goat to right this cosmic imbalance.

You can help demonstrate to Villi how Gallsby likes things.

>>806874

Do you want jinxes?

Because that's how you get jinxes.

>>806888
Anti-magic. Jinxes don't affect us.

To right this karmic wrong he'll have to pay double time. Get Gallsby up on the counter so you can give him vacuum fun time while Frillsby helps you balance the scales by filling your doughnut hole. The customer is always right!

>>806895

But we could end up jinxing Villi! They're very fickle things, you know.

Or maybe the whole town. At this rate, we could jinx the entire world!

Better ask how much he charges for vacuuming services?

Meanwhile, the true cause of all these oddities is wreaking havoc while you screw around and try to get a blowjob out of this innocent lamb that never asked to receive that blowjob in the first place.

My phone begins ringing.

"You two go ahead, I'll go up afterwards."

"Dorb Police Department."
>"Hi, this is Ralf from Wright Insurance agency. I'm calling on behalf of Salvage Salvo. They claim they've gotten their whole stock of copper, a solid 10 thousand pounds of it, stolen. They say that they reported it already. That sound right to you?"

>>808168
Say you cannot verify how much was stolen, but you saw that their storage area was completely empty and had been broken into in a way that matched a separate incident involving missing copper. You're currently investigating and hope to catch the thief soon.

"It was "reported" in the sense that the robbery was discovered in the course of an investigation we were conducting, so we were there when it happened. That essentially counts as a report. The precise amount wasn't specified to us at the time, he probably had to consult his records, but he had claimed that it was one of his larger stocks before the discovery was made so that sounds accurate enough."

Methinks someone is padding his insurance claim but we have no evidence of that and who cares.

(Possible best cop answer?)

I can not comment on a potential active criminal investigation. You can of course request a full report from our department. Once the case is settled we will send you all the photos and a written transcript of events.



(Answer if you do not have to worry about regulations)


I can confirm that it appears that someone or something may have tunneled into what the salvage yard claims is there copper storage and emptied out the place.

That being said I have no idea how much copper was stored there to begin with. Due to having never seen the room before the alleged burglary. But you can request our photos of the scene and a written report for your insurance claims and we wills send them over later.


After your call go get upstairs so you can get in on the blowjob action.

>>808168
I can confirm a theft was reported, but I cannot otherwise comment on an ongoing investigation.

>>808168
Ask if he has any information on who or what would steal that much copper and what it would be used for.

Suddenly realize that you and Gallsby are also "coppers" and may get stolen! Which would be good cause you'd find out who did it and why, but it would also be bad cause you can't stop them if you've been stolen!

>>808193
That pun was awful. I love it.

Tell them the investigation is ongoing and that all you can confirm is that there is a large hole in an empty room where copper was allegedly stored. Who knows, maybe this was all an elaborate plan to get insurance money?

Regulations are lax. They're as lax as they get without just being an anarchy.

"This involves a criminal investigation that is still ongoing. The copper theft was reported, but I can't confirm an exact number or even an estimate about how much copper was taken."
>"Okay no problem no problem, in that case we'll just send an inquiry, and you can get back to us when you've solved the case. How's that?"
"That sounds like a plan."

We close out the conversation, and I start going upstairs to join in on the action

>Who knows, maybe this was all an elaborate plan to get insurance money?
This would be somewhat more mundane, but not something to rule out.

This conversation about stolen copper made me think of a terrible idea, though. An idea involving using Gallsby, myself, or both, as bait, to lure out the 'copper thief'.

It's an idea on par with blowjob karma, in that it is absolutely ridiculous. But it is an idea.

The copper bait plan is genius and you should try it.

That being said you need to hurry up and get to making out with that goat while you both pay off your karmic debt to Gallsby.

On a much more sensible line of thought, you should ask Villi who his most regular of regular customers are who didn't come in, then contact them to find out why they didn't come in today. There might be event going on in town that you and Gallsby didn't hear about that they're all at.

>>808608
Copper bait is good,
Go take a picture of Gallsby and Villi real quick to give to Villi.

>>808608

Okay, since there's clearly no copper anywhere, you'll have to paint one of your in COPPER PAINT to pretend to be a statue. How about your lizardy-friend girl, so you don't have to worry about fuzz and paint and stuff? Get her to pose nude on a big pedestal somewhere.

Using the coppers as bait to catch the copper thief? That plan is crazy! So crazy, it might actually work!

How would you set up yourselves as bait?

Copper bait does sound ridiculous enough to work. Which is a ridiculous line of thought, but that might just mean it's twice as effective?

I'd have to think about how to set Gallsby and myself up as bait. We could reveal ourselves, maybe, during some kind of public event. Like some kind of statue unveiling.

We could just paint someone in copper colored paint, but then I don't know if we'd be the bait, or the 'statue'. We'd have to have someone who is willing to take a risk like that. Someone like Khivaat, which also would work, since she's a lot easier to paint, since she doesn't have fur.

It sounds like someone's knocking on the glass downstairs.

"CUSTOMER!"

"Gallsby."

Villi starts running down the stairs so enthusiastically that it almost sounds like he's falling down them.

"We're open I'm coming!"

"Gallsby don't you give me that face."
>"You're not even looking at me! What face am I making?"
"The one you're making right now."
>"I could be totally straight faced right now!"
"You could be a liar."
>"I beeeet that you'd get good karma by saying it exiiiists!"

>>809803
That's not even any kind of act, that wouldn't do anything even if it existed.

Wait a minute. Vili blew you and not Gallsby so he still owes blowjob karma to Gallsby and now you owe him one!

And you never gave Gallsby a blowjob so you still owe him one!

If anything you only managed to pay back the butt pounding he gave you earlier!

If this is how you keep the scales of karma balanced you two are never going to catch any criminals.

It's a well known fact that a watched pot never boils. Villi got a customer the minute he left his post alone because that's how it always works! No karma required.

>>809805
This means that it can't be karma! Because if it was, then there'd be a bigger.....punishment.....

Oh shit! That might not be a customer down there! Villi might be in danger! Uh, I mean, he would be, if it was karma.

.....just to be safe, let's go down stairs and check on him while you're getting your bread and heading to your car to go back on patrol.

>>809803
Sounds like magic to me. Some wizard is messing with the town.

Oh, if Karma is real, due to a wizard or not, you can go out and do some good deeds to probably get a better lead on your case.

Painting Khivat copper sounds like a great idea regardless though.

Gallsby, you DO realize with the existence of Karma, we have a responsibility to have less spontaneous intercourse now with people where one party may not be able to reciprocate, right?

It also means you can't just give Villi a blowjob whenever now. Or me. Or me you. We'd have to do it all at once and complete it, even in circumstance where time doesn't allow.

"Yes that is correct."

"You sound very concerned, Gallsby."

He sounds not concerned at all.

"You make your chart or whatever, I'll go downstairs and check in on him."

I briefly wash up and go downstairs, where Villi is calmly confirming an order for a dozen bagels, and some kind of creamed coffee.

Although I have not seen this person around town, before.

>"Yeah that's all right. And hey uh this is kind of a weird question!" the customer says. "But there hasn't been anything... strange going on in this town, has there?"
"Er- er... that is... nope, I mean, nothing too out of the ordinary!" Villi says, apparently so nervous that he'll flat out lie. "Nothing to concern yourself with I mean!"
>"That's a relief! Real good. I like calm towns."

>>810011
Go say hello. Ask him what he meant by strange things.

Wait why did Villi blow you? Most of his connection was with Gallsby. You're practically a stranger to Villi by comparison with no real special moment together and he gave you a blowjob like nothing.

That was a super casual blowjob then.
Why DID he blow you again and not Gallsby? Did he get confused about who is who and didn't pay attention to the OP image?

I guess the vicious cycle of blowjob karma might be strange to those who are not in the know.

Say hi to the new guy. Maybe some casual conversation might reveal why he is asking questions about strange going's on.

Ask what brings him into town?

"ah man frillsby doesn't it suck being made of PURE 100% COPPER?!"

>>810011

There it is.
The embodiment of KHARMIC BULLSHITTERY.

It's here, ordering bagels and some kind of creamed coffee.

No wonder shit has been so weird lately!

>Wait why did Villi blow you?
I came up after he blew Gallsby, and I guess he was on a roll and just wanted to keep going.

"Hello." I say to this new face.
>"... hi, random bakery employee."
"Oh, uh, no..." Villi starts saying. "He's not an employee! He's a friend. Who's behind the counter."
>"Oh okay, well hello."
"What brings you to town?"
>"Just, you know... travelling. Seeing what's up. I mean, I'm not a drifter. Not... exactly?"

>"Hey, Frillsby!" Gallsby shouts from upstairs. "It sure sucks to be made out of 100% copper, doesn't it?!"
"No not really."
>"Oh!" says the new guy. "You're the town officer? That's cool. Nothing weird's been going on right? Right? I'm Darrin by the way."

I suddenly get the impression that all of this karma related nonsense has a name and a face, who orders bagels and some kind of cream coffee.

"I'm Frillsby. Why do you want to know if there's strange going ons?"
>"I'm, uh... I'mmmmmm writing a book. I like to write about small towns? Yeah."

Nope nothing strange going on lately. Just a normal slow week here.

Hey if you are writing a book why don't me and my partner take out out on a tour of town? We can show you all the interesting spots so you can get some good inspiration.

>>810274
"Other than the fact that you, me, and my partner upstairs are the only 3 customers Villi has had all day, no, nothing strange has happened. And me and my partner would know about it if it did happen, since we're cops and people usually report things to us."

>>810276
This. It should be easy for us, since we're on patrol.

And if he tries to refuse, let's insist that it wouldn't be a problem at all! Especially, since nothing really happens around here, Frillsby and Gallsby need something to do to kill the boredom of not having anything happen around here!

>>810274
Tell him there's just been some odd coincidences lately, and ask if he has any control over his magic.

>>810274
Oh, you're an author? Written anything else I might have heard of? Where else have you been researching your current book?

The best part of dumb obvious lies is forcing people to keep digging themselves in deeper with follow up questions.

"Villi here usually gets a good amount of customers, but you, me, and my partner upstairs have been his only ones. There have been a few other odd coincidences, too, but otherwise nothing at all."
>"O-oh!"
"Are you able to control your magic, by the way?"
>"I, I cannnnn't which is whyyy I never try to use my magic! That's no problem right? I don't want any trouble with the law!"
"It's not a problem if your magic doesn't adversely affect anything. So you're an author? Have you written anything I might have heard of? What others towns have you been in for research?"
>"Ah, heh, well..." he lists off some names of towns. I don't recognize them, but they don't sound frantically made up either. "And uh no I'm too small time of an author! You wouldn't recognize any of my books."
>"FRILLSBY WHO'S THAT." I hear Gallsby shouting again.
"He says he's Darrin!"
>"Is he cute?!"
"Not really relevant to anything right now, Gallsby!"
>"So uh... anyway, uh... if nothing's going on right now then I may stick around but otherwise I'd just like to know what weird happenings are going on then I'll be on my way!"
"I could take you around town to see the local tourist attractions, if you want writing material."
>"Oh uh... I don't think that'll be necessary!"
"Bagels are ready!" says Villi. "I'm sorry, the coffee machine is giving me trouble, just a second!"
>"Oh god it's already happennnnyI mean, that's no problem take your time! Sorry officer but I really need that cream coffee!"

>>810345
Tell him you've got the feeling his magic affects probability in a sort of karmic way, and if he can tell you how it works it might actually help you solve a case.

>>810345
sounds like its going to be a bit so why don't you tell me about your magic since you don't seem to be able to control it I might need to know what it can do?

"Sir if you know of anything that could potentially cause a disturbance it is my duty to find out and to assist."

>>810345
"Don't worry about it. If it's your magic, then all you have to do is let either me or my partner touch you. We're both anti-magic, so we'll cancel out whatever magic that you seem to be using uncontrollably."

And if it turns out that he really is the cause of everything that's happening, then you get to tell Gallsby that he was wrong about the karma!

>>810345
...what, your magic makes coffee makers stop working?

Poke him with antimagic and see if the coffee makers suddenly starts working as a result.

Well, that last sentence almost clinched it that this guy is the source of the strangeness. And how much he needs that coffee kinda points towards him having a magic situation like Villi with donuts and bagels. The coffee suppresses the weirdness aura.

Ask him which highway he came in on. Fair bet it's the one with the missing copper cables and chunks taken out.

...And are his eyes copper colored, by chance? I can't rightly tell, but if so that's suspicious as well.

>>810345

>I really need that cream coffee

Sounds like we need Villi and Gallsby's help to make sure we've got enough cream for his coffee, if you know what I'm sayin'.

(wait a sec, he's acting awful suspicious ...)

Frillsby, quick! A final test of this "blowjob karma" junk: invite him upstairs for some good clean fun with some good good boys and if shit happens after he reciprocates, not only is it not real, we'll know that this Darrin guy's the fault of it!

(and then maybe use him to foil the real culprit once we figure out what they're doing ...)

"While we wait, why don't you tell me about your magic?"

"Is it karma."

"Let me just grab the creamer and- ah! noooooooo"
Villi accidentally knocked over a bagel, and when he panicked trying to grab it before it hit the floor he stumbled and became a whirlwind of spilled cream and cream accessories.

>"Awwww geeeeeeeez..."

That's it, I have the solution. Give him a blowjob to absorb and nullify his karma magic. Alternatively, handcuff yourself to him.

Or wait, if you remove organic matter from yourself, does that matter still have anti-magical properties? Maybe you can give him a part of yourself that you don't need. Like a hair. Or semen. It seems like this all loops back around to blowjobs, one way or another.
