Hey, Min. I have another clue and I was thinking maybe your friend Zoe could help
Mina Murray
Sure, I can ask!
Arthur Quincey
Cool. I'm sending it along—me and VH stared at it for like an hour and have no idea

Mina Murray
Yay new clue. Ps, I loved chatting with your bf today.
Arthur Quincey
You're having way too much fun with this, Min
Mina Murray
I love puzzles, what can i say?
Arthur Quincey
And aw, yeah? He said the same about you.
Mina Murray
Really?
Arthur Quincey
Yeah, he said he thought you two would have loads in common. Well, he said that in his VH way. I think maybe he's a bit nervous to meet Lucy. I guess I can introduce you guys, haha
Mina Murray
I know, I can't believe we haven't met! Well, YOU have *big wink*.
SOON though, ok?
Hey I should make dinner for us all and you guys can come over. We can eat and talk like civilized grownups ;)
Arthur Quincey
Yes! that’d be awesome—just let me know when is good.
Anyway, I'm emailing it to you—too big to chat
Just like someone else I know *wiiiiiink*
Mina Murray
You are ridiculous. There goes the civilized grownups plan.
Arthur Quincey
Whatever like you weren’t as bad when you and lucy first got together lol
Mina Murray
Shhhhh
Arthur Quincey
She would flirt with you
You would gaze adoringly at her
Mina Murray
Yeah yeah yeah, yuck it up Quincey.
I deserved every second of gazing adoringly at Lucy after basically freaking out when I realized I was in love with my best friend.
Arthur Quincey
How’d you realize it?
Mina Murray
Um. It’s possible that in a dark and never-to-be-spoken-of-again moment I googled it?
And then I took a quiz called "are you in love with your best friend" -_-
Arthur Quincey
minaaaaaaa
*laughing crying emoji*
YOU GOOGLED IT
oh my god that's hilarious
I've never seen two people more obviously perfect for each other
Mina Murray
Ok you laugh but the sheer volume of results tells me that I am NOT the first to have to ask the internet that question.
Arthur Quincey
Well I mean.
Now that you put it like that…
Mina Murray
You want me to send you that quiz don’t you?
Arthur Quincey
No that’s silly.
Ok but seriously send it
Mina Murray
Happy quizzing ;)
[link to quiz "how to tell if i'm in love"]
Arthur Quincey
Okay anyway the clue. What does this look like to you? I see like…spots
Mina Murray
Jeez could the picture be lower resolution?
It's…is it like a smear?
Arthur Quincey
Oh hey wait the phrase was "the blood is the life" right?
Is it like spilled blood?
Mina Murray
Oh, shit yeah! It's a slide. A microscope slide? Like from bio class.
Maybe it's from the body? Like a dna sample.
Arthur Quincey
Whoa what if we sent it to the DNA 23 thing and like caught the Zodiac Killer or something???
Mina Murray
Well that would be amazing, of course.
What’s the actual prompt for what we’re supposed to enter?
Arthur Quincey
There isn't one :|
Mina Murray
??
Arthur Quincey
Just a box to input an answer
The clues are supposed to get harder, so it wouldn't surprise me if they stopped with the hints
Mina Murray
Hmmmm
So, high probability that we'll get it wrong and have a pause in the game.
Arthur Quincey
Yeah I mean, i guess as a pitfall to make the stakes seem higher? And so yahoos don’t just try guessing every single thing that pops into their minds.
Mina Murray
Yeah, I get it from the game's POV, I just hate being wrong *huff*
Arthur Quincey
So…I guess we could try "blood sample" but I don't think that’s specific enough.
Mina Murray
There was nothing else? Just that image?
Arthur Quincey
Just that image and a box to input my answer
Mina Murray
Is the box the same size as all the rest have been?
Arthur Quincey
Yeah I think so?
Mina Murray
Ok so it wants a typed in answer, not like a picture or w/e.
Arthur Quincey
Right, yes. Like the license plate number or the street address
Mina Murray
Hmmm ok, I can't think with you there so lemme go mess with it. I’ve gotta go to work in a bit.
Arthur Quincey
Cool, let me know if you find anything.
