CONGRATS EVERYONE!!! and OMG, THE AMOUNT OF DETAIL/CLUES HIDDEN THROUGHOUT?!? there were a good few that i didn't catch onto, i'm so impressed!!i filled up two pages in my notebook summarising all the information but that's quite difficult to paste into eggcave (lol), so here's the reasoning i put in my final guess (spoiler warning):

Congrats everyone!! This was incredibly well written and fun! I missed so many clues even though I thought I'd gotten everything HAHAH, but I'm so excited for the next!

Yayyy, congrats everyone!! I had been anxiously waiting for this announcement all since I submitted my answer cx If it wasn't them, then I would have been shook lol I'm also happy to see that there were so many participants for this event, wow!Thank you so much for hosting this mystery event, Nest! I very well might try writing my own ending (:<Below are spoilers for any outside Nest members who still want to solve the mystery for themselves, so read at your own risk!Sophie is already in competition with Marzi, therefore she does NOT need anyone else trying to sell baked sweets.Pastries are basically fruit and sugar (according to Nebby), so if Sophie could get her hands on the fruit (she already has the sugar), she would basically be unstoppable with her gold making business. Plus, Marzi would probably never stoop as low as to use GMO's in her baking, so she would likely go out of business once the GMO's took over.(This sentence is for fun lol) I would like to think that Sophie couldn't poising Marzi, because Marzi is dating Tentakon and most likely doesn't want to break his heart with the poisoning of his lover.Other supporting evidence...Someone recently donated 3 things to the D.C., mostly likely the night before the events in Part 1, all of which can be linked back to Sophie.- Gold Gas Mask - There are plenty of gold items at Sophie's house, it'd be no surprise that she would own a gold gas mask. It got donated because she no longer needed it after her experiment was complete.Support: "She had lots of kitchen tools and gadgets, most of them being gold."- Partially Dissolved Chemistry Textbook - Sophie owns a ton of books from a wide range of topics. She also was/is a huge fan of chemistry, so of course she would still have her old high school chemistry textbook in her collection. It also got donated because she no longer needed it after her experiment was complete. Plus, it was ruined.Support: "She had quite the collection of books, including most any topic you could imagine."- Draco Aurarius Constellation - This is obviously the Dragold. Sophie is a fan of dragons. And gold. Why it was donated? No clue!Support: "The inside of her home was filled with... medieval decorations, such as dragons and fairies."At the scene of the crime, Pangy had mentioned that he noticed Puffup dust on the floor that he somehow missed during his sweep. I believe that Sophie, being from Fairywold just like the Puffup, used (perhaps modified) Puffup dust to turn herself invisible and plant the "bad apple" at Pangy's desk.Support: "The dust is magical though; whenever a Puffup senses danger, their dust can make them invisible."Pangy also recalled hearing a car drive past his shop, around the time he was having his little snack. Not many Arkians own a vehicle, let alone a car. But you know who does own a car? Sophie.The jelly beans on Pangy's desk can also be linked to Sophie. Floss need to eat sugary food, pretty much 'round the clock. Because she wasn't as home in the farmlands and instead in the urban area, she found some jelly beans to satisfy her needs. Now why didn't she just take some fruit from the GFS? Yet to be 100% determined, but I think it was because jelly beans were easier to just pop in her mouth and run.Support: "Having a diet which mandates the steady consumption of foods rich in sugar, they tend to either seek out farmlands abundant in fruit or scavenge for junk food in urban areas."There has also been a weird smell mentioned several times while Pangy and Nebby were at the scene of the crime. My best bet: Sophie owns "a lot of smelly Skreels" and more than likely carries their scent on her, like pet owners carry their pets' scent on them. Nebby has such a good nose, of course he's going to pick up the Skreel smell that was left behind from Sophie's little break-in.Lastly, it's important to remember that Sophie is a Floss. Floss already have a connection to the SARC, thanks to the chemical analysis conducted by the SARC team. Of course Sophie would have connections to Cathy, even her direct phone number if they had become friends after the analysis. #dreamteam #girlbossesSophie completed GCR 1.0, gave her findings to Cathy, now Cathy has to carry out the rest of the plan and mass produce the GMOs. That's why GCR 2.0 is written in the notebook instead of 1.0.So there you have it! As you can see, I went crazy trying to make connections 😋

@ashlinnhi The raffle has a relaxed deadline of Sunday, April 21st. 😊A winner will be drawn sometime after April 21st, so "late" entries may still be able to make it.

Not me misunderstanding the nest thing;; it was too early when i read this XD anyway here is my version cus I was adamant with @shrimp that it would be funny if it was Nebby.
chaotictreat • 16 April 2024 at 5:29 PM
SpoilersssI actually remember picking up on the skreel thing at one point (I was paying attention to all fishy smells lmao) but for some reason didn't note it down so I forgot about it :") I guess I just didn't get far enough with that line of inquiry and decided it was a red herring... I also was sure the jellybeans were important somehow but could not for the life of me work out how - when I looked at jellybean items on Eggcave they all come from the bakery so the only thing I could think of is that it was a possible clue pointing to Marzi, but gave up on that path pretty quickly. Little did I know that it was a clue pointing to Marzi, but planted intentionally by someone else!

@dragrawr Lol your version of the story is very funny! Thanks for sharing!Poor Nebby, doomed to poison all his friends! But he nor his friends even know it 😂

Regrettably I will not be available for the Nest Fest. I do hope everyone enjoys the event!

here's what i submitted:I think it's Sophie!I picked up on the following:- Pangy heard a car drive by; Sophie drove back home- Jelly beans- Stench; Sophie has Skreels- Partially dissolved chemistry book got donated; Sophie did chemistry in school- She owns a bakery; she's jealous and competitive, and Pangy's baked goods are a potential threat(I must admit though, my first thought was Cathy because of the GM-NO sign. And then I thought maybe Nebby was so dumb he forgot he'd already given Pangy an apple. And then I thought maybe Pangy was so delirious that he forgot he'd been the one to poison himself. This one's a real head-scratcher and even now I'm not too sure LOL)LATE RAFFLE ENTRY:Sophie absentmindedly nibbled on a jellybean. Small, handy, sweet and easy to carry around, these little candies were the perfect snack. She reached for another handful, popping a few more into her mouth as she walked. She was always stress-eating - handling a business alone was a lot of work, after all! She'd just parked about two streets away - the city was unusually full today, maybe people looking for things to do, since the Alkub Races were cancelled due to sand storms. Last night, after Sophie's sad little waffle dinner in front of the telly, she'd been carefully crafting and practising the expression of confusion and shock that would spread across her face the next day as she walked past the store... though it seemed there was no need to practise after all.Sophie wasn't expecting the General Food Store to be open this morning. And she certainly wasn't expecting to see Pangy being his usual cheery self by the register. Her face contorted into an expression of utter bewilderment as she pushed past the glass door, bells chiming.Pangy's face brightened. "Hi, Sophie, how can I help you today?"The Floss set her expression into a manufactured smile, though something within her did soften a tad. "Nothing much, just looking for some fruit!""Oh!" The pangolin exclaimed, "I've got all sorts! It seems we've run out of apples, though...""No apple pies this week, I guess," Sophie nodded understandingly, giving him a lopsided smile. "Sorry Pangy, I know that's your favourite."Uneasiness washed over Pangy's face. "Um- well, you see," he stuttered, "I don't really like apples anymore anyway. It turns out I'm..." Pangy leaned in. "Allergic to them."The Floss frowned. "Well, allergic to the seeds, specifically. I don't really know why? But I had a really bad reaction to this one apple I ate yesterday because I accidentally swallowed the seeds; Neb and I tried a little experiment once I started feeling a bit better, because he ended up with this massive stock of Red Cubic Apples, which, you know, are my favourite, and it was really weird because he had, like 32 all of a sudden, but then..."Sophie tried to resist the urge, but she couldn't help but roll her eyes."... and I guess it wouldn't be wise for me to eat apples, because I don't actually have any teeth, cus Pangolins don't have teeth and I can't spit out the seeds, which is what I'm allergic to! Plus, this particular apple had a lot of seeds, I think."Sophie was poised to open her mouth to speak, but just then, there was some rumbling in the storage room and her childhood crush came bursting through the double doors, a stack of heavy boxes in his arms. "Hey Pangy, there's a really weird smell back the- Oh hey, Sophie!"Sophie's eyes widened, her pink cheeks turning crimson. "T-tentakon! What are you doing here?""Ah yeah, he's helping me with the boxes out back," grinned Pangy. "After the whole food poisoning shebang, I'm still pretty weak today. Races got cancelled today, so good ol' Tenty here volunteered!"Sophie's eye twitched.Tentakon set the boxes down behind the counter with a thump. Then, he paused to sniff the air."Pangy, the smell's out here too." The Pangolin lifted an eyebrow in confusion. "But I didn't do anything!"Sophie broke out into a cold sweat. She was never any good in stressful situations, and she had to get out of here fast."Pangy, I've got to go! Ring up some fruits for me, kay? I'll, um, drop by later! Gotta run!"With that, Sophie hurried for the door. Except, she wasn't expecting her little tote bag to hook onto the handle as she tried to slip out, tearing it open and spilling her jellybeans all over the floor.Oh yeep.
