## **Events of Glory To Arstotzka!**

### **The Night Is Young**

Joanne became a suspect after a photo of her and the victim was found in the crime scene. Joanne told us that her and Marie were roommates and also best friends. When we told her that Marie is dead, Joanne started to tear up and said that she can't believe that her best friend is no longer alive. She took the picture from us and asked us to leave her alone so she can mourn her death in peace.

Joanne was questioned again when we found her DNA all over the victim's broken award. When we show and asked her about the award, she got mad and shouted at us for fixing it. She then started to badmouth Marie in front of us and even branded her as the biggest pile of shit she's ever met. She said her and Marie were never friends as they were both opposite from each other. Joanne proved how evil Marie is to us by explaining how Marie ruined her reputation entirely. She explained to us that Marie spread some rumors about her dating multiple old men for money which resulted to Joanne getting fired from her job and terminated from her apartment at the same time. She confronted Marie about it but Marie just laughed and mocked her for being an absolute loser and failure. This led to her losing her temper and subsequently breaking the award in front of Marie.

Joanne was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated partygoer and Petra's sister Charmaine Hoffmann for Marie's murder.

### **Lawless**

Joanne became a suspect again after her watch was found smashed to pieces inside Judge Daubney's office. She explained to us that Stephen smashed her watch all because she accidentally spilled her coffee on him earlier. When we informed her about the murder, she immediately denied knowing anything about it and walked away.

Joanne was spoken again after a poster of the victim that she defaced was found in the trash can. Joanne explained to us that after she discovered that Stephen himself was the one who murdered his adoptive uncle, Clarence Comerford several years ago, her anger towards Stephen grew bigger and that the poster was just a little reminder to the judge that his past will soon catch up to him.

Joanne was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated EZIC member Sloane Higgins for Stephen's murder.

### Blinded By The Truth

Joanne became a suspect for the third time after Bethany and the player found her fingerprints on her cigarette pack, which was discovered inside the late Charmaine and Susann's bunker. When being asked about how she discovered the bunker, Joanne told the team that the door to the bunker had opened one day, so she went in to take a look inside. She thought the bunker is abandoned that's why she will often go there to relax and smoke some cigs to relieve her stress. When we told her that the owners of the bunker are dead, she immediately denied killing them.

Joanne was interrogated again upon learning that the bullet that hit Charmaine on the shoulder came from her gun. Joanne tried to avoid the question at first but she decided to spit it out after Bethany used some tricks on her. Joanne explains to us that she mean no harm to Charmaine and it was just an act of self-defense because the latter attacked and tried to kill her while she was walking home last night. Although, Charmaine is quite strong, Joanne overpowered her and shot her so that she can escape.

Joanne was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated prisoner and TKSA agent Laurene Iseminger for Susann and Charmaine's murders.

### Tragedy Strikes In Arstotzka

Joanne became a suspect after Alphonse and the player found her phone, smashed into pieces inside the TKSA HQ. Joanne told us that she may have dropped her phone due to her panicking and stressing about the ensuing chaos. She thanked us for fixing and returning it before excusing herself, saying she still has a lot of things to fix.

Joanne was spoken to again after we found a letter, sent by Giorgi, telling her to step down as TKSA's head. When asked about this, Joanne shouted at us for even showing that damn letter to her again. She calmed herself and explained to us that Giorgi sent her that letter because the late president believed that she's incapable and too "weak" to handle such position, just because she's a woman. This, of course, angered Joanne, causing her to tear the letter apart.

Joanne was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated EZIC member Cameron Wayne for Giorgi's murder.

### A Bitter End

Joanne was first spoken to when her set of keys was found in Jethro's pockets. Joanne simply told us that Jethro borrowed it from her, hours before his death. We ask her why, but Joanne said neither her knows, she just let Jethro use it since she trust him enough.

Joanne was spoken to again after Lawrence retrieved a footage of her and Jethro fighting. When asked about this, Joanne told us that she lied about Jethro borrowing her keys because, in fact, Jethro stole them from her. She confronted Jethro about it earlier but Jethro threw the keys at her and shouted, saying it's "none of her business". This made Joanne infuriated, causing the two of them to fight which resulted to her giving Jethro a huge black eye.

Joanne was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated ASAS agent and Sienna's brother Zachary Bommarito for Jethro's murder.
