AA 6-3: The Rite of Turnabout

Cue ball got killed. Now go home. [hiimdaisy P4 comic anyone?]

Not so fast! Maya is older and supposedly wiser [we have a number of aged-up sprites which still manage to look hilarious and adorable - Maya's a character that has really grown on me over the course of the franchise], but she's still Our Suspect. She went up a mountain to do a purification rite and uh, the High Priest got murderated.

Yes, High Priest Trust Me and his loyal disciple Praise A Lot. Or Pray Zealot. Hoping that becomes relevant, and this is AA, so, of course it will >_>

Rayfa is super pretentious and annoying, but her blushing sprite when we call her out on any ignorance is okay, I guess. Ahlbi is cute but he's around the right amount. Any more and he'd be annoying too. We poke around the crime scene. Snow has been removed, ha ha ha.

There's a variety of details to hold on to, such as it happened during the light of only a full moon and 4 wind-protected eternal lanterns that have been burning for centuries. The Lady Kee-ra robe was freshly purified with incense, too. We could smell it the next day on the fabric so its fragrance must have been quite intense the night of the murder. The victim wears giant bells on his ankles so he would have been able to track at all times, light or not. So, there's plenty of 'tells' about this case already.

We met a weird, bearded bro up in the mountains, we don't have a name on him yet, but we also know that a criminal has escaped a prison higher up the mountain than the murder scene, the last prison escape resulted in the assassination of the queen at the time, and that this current prisoner is still at large. [Now I'm sad that Pearls isn't lost instead, so I could make the Small Medium at Large joke.]

Ema's werking for Prosecutor Sahdmadhi for this case as well, he's returned to the country of Khura'in and is extremely popular. I'm ready to see the grill marks on Phoenix, lol. If the guy continues to be a character I like, maybe there's Sahdmadhi cosplay in my future!!

Boy howdy, have I missed a good, thorough, loooong investigation. At the moment, I'm still talking with Ahlbi and Rayfa in the Bazaar, but it's at least holding my interest. Looking to wrap up this part soon and head to the unforgiving Khura'inese court.

Wish me luck! See you next time!

EDIT: calling it now, Dhurke is going to be my "Oh no, he's hot" for this case lol
