A Tost for St. Patrick's Day

[gracie_musica]

Saint Patrick was a gentleman
Who through strategy and stealth,
Drove all the snakes from Ireland,
Here’s a toasting to his health.
But not too many toastings
Lest you lose yourself and then
Forget the good Saint Patrick
And see all those snakes again.
“Beannachtam na Feile Padraig!”
(Happy St. Patrick's Day)


Designate a driver, for everyone drinking! Happy St. Patrick's Day.

It's a Drive-By!! :: Tosses a dead body at Gracie ::

"So what's the situation here?" Megure inquired as he looked around the barn. They didn't see many murders in a barn. They didn't see many barns, period. "Strange place for a murder, isn't it?"

"Quite." Shiratori agreed blandly. "One victim, male in his early thirties. According to the witness-" Shiratori pointed towards the strawberry blond that Takagi was attempting to calm down, without much success "-The three of them were travelling together and were spending the night in the barn. Evidently the victim got up early and procured goose eggs for breakfast. He was waking them up when the hubcap struck him in the middle of the chest, killing him."

"Hubcap?" Megure's eyebrows rose. Shiratori lifted the sheet up that was covering the victim, a look of utter shock frozen on his features. A hubcap rose from the middle of his chest. Megure made a thoughtful sound as he examined the body. "Is it just me, or is the victim wearing cooking ware?"

The strawberry blond let out a wail at the comment. Takagi waved his hands frantically at them for setting her off again.

"Yes, sir." Shiratori nodded. "According to the witness, the victim liked to wear it as a form of armour."

"Not that it did much good." Megure grunted, attempting to dislodge the hubcap. It stayed stuck.

"The weapon is lodged very well, sir." Shiratori commented. "We have yet to be able to remove it."

Megure shrugged, dusting off his hands as he stood up. "Any leads on suspects?"

"Just one, sir." Shiratori motioned towards a leggy leather clad brunette woman who was sleeping peacefully in a pile of hay nearby. "The witness says that their companion did it, although she cannot explain why."

Megure paused, peering at Shiratori, who fidgeted slightly. "Then what seems to be the problem?" Megure demanded. "You have your suspect."

"Yes, well..." Shiratori fidgeted slightly. "Given the circumstances, no one wants to be the one to wake the Warrior Princess up."

-fin-

For Gracie and her missing hubcaps.
Loosely based on the Xena: Warrior Princess episode "Been There, Done That" where the day keeps repeating. Joxer will be alive again in the morning.

*echos Morgan* You better hope Aphrodite loves you (for the Hakuba-Kuroba ficcage) enough to protect you from a pissed of Ares! *snickers madly* On the upside, it ain't permanent.
