#Nancy drew alibi in ashes walkthrough full

He’s implying, I guess, that the bottle is really old, but at no point is that made clear. Alexei says that the ether probably would’ve evaporated or exploded by now. We bring up that he had ether in his trunk, and suggest that perhaps he used it to start the fire. I don’t know what happened to the steel trap memories the characters had in The Captive Curse, but these characters don’t remember us talking to them at all. So we leave, but we can just turn right around and talk to him again. Alexei flips the fuck out and starts yelling about how HE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS FIRE and HE WON’T BE DRAGGED THROUGH THE MUD AGAIN! And now, he would very much like George to get the fuck out. We also want to know what he’s doing with the key to town hall’s alarm system. We have quite a bit to talk about with Alexei, now that we know all about his shady past. That’s all Bess can do - there’s no dialogue at the moment for Toni - so we switch to George.

She claims just to be passing by: “I was speeding because I heard the neighborhood was full of dangerous criminals. Deirdre is back in her spot, and we confront her about her ticket. They were all, “Lock him up!” which Carson thought was pretty weird, but then he was like, “Whatever, not my problem.” He always felt bad about it, but not bad enough to ever stick up for Alexei or anything like that.Īnd now let’s be Bess.

For that matter, the jury seemed pretty set on putting Alexei away.

Bennington was evil, Dad! How could you? Carson tells us that the evidence against Alexei was overwhelming, regardless of whether or not Carson thought he was guilty. Suspicious!īefore we switch back out, let’s talk to Nancy’s dad about this whole representing-J.P. Nancy puts the ticket in the system and notes that Deirdre was busted right by town hall, like five minutes before the alarm was switched off. We have to go turn this in to Nancy, who will run it in the police computer system. This will come up in a later game.Īs it turns out, Deirdre got a speeding ticket the day of the fire. It’s also probably worth mentioning that while Deirdre is no super sleuth, her deductions actually aren’t bad. I think the greatest tragedy of Midnight in Salem‘s development hell is that we were this close to getting Deirdre as a solid secondary character, and it was all torn away from us. Note all of Deirdre’s remarks, which are glorious. I feel like, story-wise, it makes no sense for her to be at Scoop if she doesn’t do this bit.ĭeirdre’s notebook is lying there, tracking her progress through the Clues Challenge. Deirdre forgives us, and so now we call Nancy to hand the case off to someone else. Man, Ned and Deirdre both need to love themselves, in completely different ways. Traffic,” like this tiny town has any traffic to speak of. What the hell, Ned? Deirdre, I would never stand you up! Anyway, Ned’s like, “Oops. You’ll recall that we already asked her out earlier, and then I guess Ned just ditched her.

So as Ned, we hop back over to Scoop, and Deirdre is pissed at us. Ned, you’re more than just a pretty face! Don’t let Nancy use your body this way! Ned’s like, “…this is starting to get weird, but okay.” This is tragic. WHAT UP, NED.įor the third time today, we ask Ned to take Deirdre out on a date. In order to get Deirdre away from her table at Scoop, we have to talk to her, and when it comes to Deirdre, there’s only one person for the job. We’ve looked through everyone’s crap except for Deirdre’s. File that away for a bit later, because we still have some snooping to do. If I were Nancy and my whole town hated me, I’d just be like, “Peace out, suckers,” and fly off to wherever the hell my next mystery is.Īnyway, we’ve established that the fingerprints on the notes luring Nancy to town hall belong to Brenda. It’s a pretty interesting take on the Nancy Drew canon, but I feel like it would be more effective if Nancy was ever like, actually home. As it turns out, everybody in River Heights hates Nancy’s guts and they’ve all just been waiting for the moment they can turn on her and rip her to shreds. Previously on Nancy Drew: Alibi in Ashes: We ran around collecting evidence, specifically everyone’s various alibis and fingerprints.
