Enigma .04 - Diddy Kong

We had room for one non-Japanese character on the roster, so naturally we decided to pick the acrobatically deformed, anthropomorphic chimpanzee.

"Oh, oh wow.."

R.O.B. halts in front of the tipped chair, data sensors set on the startling sight before him, "Verily so," he mumbles. "Not once do I recall having ever made acquaintance with such a... polarizing display, to say the least."

The doctor tunes away from his own fixation with a slight frown, "Huh? I was talking about his neck. Look at it! Now that's polarizing! ... Do you think his gene pool was spoiled by giraffes?"

R.O.B. himself is a moment away from positioning the chair upright, only to stop himself. The three laws sometimes have that effect on him, though he doesn't like to admit it.

Regaining face, he lets out a light scoff, "As if I would be privy to such information. As for things I do know, I think it's become quite clear that the disturbance call was right on the money. Quick analysis shows that the victim was known as 'Diddy Kong',"

The physician brings a hand to his chin, feeling a spark of deja vu coming around, "Kong, huh? Any relatives?"

"Er... It would appear the records aren't sure if he's meant to be a nephew, son, or distant cousin.. "

"Hm, then neither am I. Did he leave a note? You know, before he decided to..."

The sight of the chimp, hanging from the ceiling by the tail with a maw full of peanuts, brings an awkward wave of silence to the room.

The robot is quick to speak, now with a slip of paper in hand, "There is in fact a note, not necessarily an archive of regrets and desires mind you, but.. something cryptic altogether. I'm beginning to wonder if this crime scene is really as it appears to be.."

"I'll just be the judge of that!" declares the doctor, who takes the note for himself. However, the words he reads ultimately take the wind out of him.

'Should have stayed in the jungle, flowcharter.'
