guiltrip | WEEK 3 INVESTIGATION

INVESTIGATION

Good morning, sunshines, sungems, and wild partiers of the night! No matter what kind of night you had, you'll find yourself awakening to an energetic tune blasting out from the island speaker system, one that more than a few of you will recognize -- you won't be able to escape it, but why would you want to?

Music is a great way to start your day, and surely, this is a great omen for Fridays at this resort. There's at least one reason to get up dancing, as the wings of the warp phenomenon have vanished with the morning mist and the sea breeze; Kingfisher's Retreat boasts a beautiful, uninterrupted waterfall that reflects the morning sun once more, and the waves at Sungem's Peak are largely peaceful. Even the customary burst of sound and pressure was a little mollified by the addition of the new soundtrack. You know what that means by now, but hopefully the music will add a pep in your step.

(( OOC: Welcome to your second investigation, we hope everyone is enjoying their DD refreshes ☆ ))

[There's certainly a lot to look at, since the devastation at the tracks sure is a thing.

The blood trails here are actually... not too substantial -- if Waltaquinn is starting at the body, she'll find both some winding trails of blood in droplets that seem to get slightly bigger leading out of (or into) the go-kart area, and one straighter trail of blood droplets.

The latter is visible until about 20 feet out from the body and then vanishes.]

[She thinks she may have figured out the camera function enough to get the most rudimentary of images, so she snaps them. Just to be clear, the straight trail and the winding trail don't appear to intersect or connect and are separate, yes?

There's so much destruction here...it's really monumental. Coming closer to the places where the track has been uprooted and ripped apart, can she take a closer look at that mess? For starters, How big are the pieces that are missing? and Is there any noticeable mark or residue where they've been ripped up, like a scorch mark or idk blade scar?]

[They're separate, though they are roughly in the same direction -- namely, leading more or less towards the railway that connects to the main island.

On her tour of the track, she'll notice that the gouged out parts of the track are roughly 10-30 feet in diameter, a variety of sizes, but there are also no noticeable marks or residue. Also, there are a variety of small craters interspersed with all this destruction. On top of all that, the messy trail intersects with and occasionally lines up with the winding blood trails.

While she's intent on all this, she may also notice something glinting out of the corner of her eye.]

[A glint? Indeed that does catch her eye. Where's this shining thing coming from relative to everything else? But more importantly, what is it]

[What do we have here?

It's... a knife! Specifically one that's just about as bloody and messy as Vergilius is, yikes. Looks like it was just dropped on the ground.]

[Well, Quin doesn't know about modern day forensics or anything, but she figures we probably don't want to go smudging around all of the blood and leave a trail that isn't related to this, so she'll try and find a good way to pick it up or at the very least get a closer look at it.]

... Is it uh. Is it a butter knife?]

[It is not a butter knife, but a proper kitchen knife.

..... Well, not so proper anymore. She. Will probably need something to pick it up with, given that not only is it covered in blood but there's definitely still organic tissue stuck to it too...]

[Ghastly... Super intriguing.

She will once again be forced to used some spare cloth, but at least it's better than nothing. She has. Seen her fair share of internal body parts, so is it possible for her to make an estimated guess here? Bone? Muscle? Organ tissue?]

[It is definitely better than nothing, and at least the blood is mostly dry.

Due to her insider information, Waltaquinn is able to determine that it is organ tissue.]
