Well, finally some news. Gutmanson "El Viernes" Sanchez has been arrested in connection with the death of Darvis Platinbone. Gutty was well known in inventing circles as a member of "The Tribe of Volcania", which was a group of young inventors that left society in the late 80's to hide from volcanoes. It is not known where they went or how they survived, just that they had built a lava proof lair, believing that lava would disintigrate the earth in the very near future, and they would be the only ones left.
Obviously most older inventors scoffed at this notion and mocked them at dinner parties and inventing galas, so it is not surprising that they would have ill will towards the rest of the inventing world, but why Darvis? He made no public comments on the subject. And also, why now? After years estranged from society, why would Gutty pop up out of nowhere? And can we assume that Bowtie was also a victim of The Tribe?
There are no details yet available as to what led them to Gutty, but we do know he was arrested aboard one of his patented one man walrusboats in the middle of the Indian Ocean. Perhaps, he was attempting to return to The Tribe's secret hideaway. Mama Grande Sanchez, Gutmanson's mother and the one time queen starlet of inventing would of course be horrifed if she were around to hear of this, so it is probably a good thing that she finally choked to death a few summers ago (I say finally because she was a militolarian, which was a sect of yathrampism that believed you had to finish everything you touched while eating a meal which made utensils deadlier than rat poison, and a simple soup spoon the cobra to Mama Grande's Cleopatra).
