/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

>the pursuit
One of the reasons this chapter took longer than usual to write is because I spent quite a bit of time trying to piece together the fight scenes. I try to follow the guideline that fight scenes should be like how Hobbes describes the state of nature - nasty, brutish, and short.
>green
Even though they aren't actually related, many of the characters' appearance and traits are based on related vtubers, with Ame/Melisende being the most obvious parallel. The green hair part is meant to be a reference to it, and to give some ambiguity to what's the deal with the disposal drainage, but I guess it didn't end up mattering here.
>chat between agent and Mel
Truth be told, a lot of it is kind of an exposition on what Mel figured out (finally), and is OOCly used to bring readers who might not have deduced up to speed. It's also to delay the agent long enough for the constable to make her strike.
>cut wound
For modern forensics, maybe, but probably less so for early 18th-century investigation unless it's done by someone observant like Mel. The issue with her parrying dagger's that its non-cutting side is heavily serrated (picrel), and that will likely leave a very distinct wound when stabbing, and very few in the city would have a weapon like this.
