WEEK 4 INVESTIGATION

[killerwaves]

INVESTIGATION

Did you enjoy your musical serenade last week? Depending on where you find yourself this bright and sunny morning, you might be getting an encore of a different sort, in the theater.

Are you having the time of your life? Someone is, or more accurately, was if the trend from the last weeks hold. There's not even any extraneous noise to interrupt the musical marathon; the snap and pressure release of past weeks is notably absent, so maybe it's not the time to continue the party scene yet... Those on Dodo will be able to spot the warping haze stretched past the aquarium and almost to the theater by the time they make it outside, while those on Sungem and Seagull will also be able to spot the phenomenon encroaching on the shore from the ocean. Hm.

"Anybody could be that guy ♫"

(( OOC: Welcome to your third investigation, stay hydrated and refreshed ☆ ))

THEATER

[killerwaves]

[chosenwang]

[ He's leaving the body touching to someone else. He's going to look around the stage. Is there any signs of Skywarp being dragged up to his throne or oil sloshes or something? Is the rubber chicken around? ]

[chrysaline]

[ Since Wei Wuxian is still conspicuously alive and can maybe be trusted to stay that way for a minute, Psyche will come with! Poor Skywarp... considering the last week, she'll also be looking up to see if any undignified descents were made through the ceiling. ]

[killerwaves]

[ It appears that this week, there is no evidence of strange happenings ceiling-wise! ]

[killerwaves]

[ The first thing to take notice of immediately is the presence of blood. An oily substance kind that is more or less considered 'blood' to those that are Transformers. It's blue-colored.

There is a path of where this blood has landed in drops that makes it clear that he was taken along a route through the theater, up to the stage. Though, alongside this there are also what appears to be drag marks. ]

[chosenwang]

[ He's going to take pics! Either someone has super strength or something.

Anyways, he's going to follow those drag marks to see where they go ]

clarification: theater

[killerwaves]

[ Oop, actually, there are no drag marks inside of the theater! But he can definitely still see a route from drops of that oily blue-colored substance. ]

[chosenwang]

[ So his death wasn't a drag.

Time to follow the trail of blue drops ]

[killerwaves]

[ It leads him straight on to outside of the theater! From there, he can also witness a trail of tire tracks leading to this island's railway as well. ]

[chosenwang]

[ Oh fun! Looks like someone took a joy ride... ]

[chrysaline]

[ Also for clarification, how much blood are we talking? A steady trail of drops or an "oh no, that's a lot" amount? ]

[killerwaves]

[ It's about a steady trail of drops, yes! They are on the smaller size as opposed to A Lot. ]

Re: THEATER

[butcherspice]

[Hi Skywarp. Kinda crazy that someone killed a giant robot huh? (If you saw this in the wrong place before no you didn’t.)
Anyway, does this guy have blood? And if so how does it differ from human blood?]

[killerwaves]

[Skywarp doesn't exactly have blood, per se, but there's definitely something oily and pungent leaking out of what may pass for wounds on his robotic personage.

It's also blue.]

[dakicover]

[ well crea's here to also look at skywarp's body upon walt's request. he doesn't have the best knowledge of what the fuck a car or a robot is, but he does have eyes and he is thorough.

so first of all, any injuries that are standing out? how's the body positioned? ]

[killerwaves]

[Eyeballs are important. He doesn't even have to deal with megane, good for you, Crea! ☆

Well, the first thing he'll notice is that Skywarp is sitting in a theater seat, up on the stage. Yep. One robotic leg is kicked up over an armrest. His elbow is propped on the other armrest with his head resting against his palm, a truly jaunty pose finished off with a galaxy-themed cape and even a crown! All around him are miniature models of the planets. He's a mechanical lord presiding over a beautiful plastic kingdom!

Also, both feet are missing and he has a number of visible wounds on his front. A holey king on his holy throne...?]

[dakicover]

[ cool, so we got a theater kid doing murders. this is far more dramatic than crea would like, and he can't help but sigh.

first of all, he'd like to take a look at the crown. how well does it fit on skywarp's head? and what is the state of the crown? he'll do the same check with the cape. ]

[killerwaves]

[When in Rome -- or in theaters -- do as Roman theater kids do...?

The crown is pretty large, though not quite large enough for Skywarp. Accordingly, it's been hung on his head at a rakish angle, completing the dashing look that the stage setter was no doubt looking for.

As for the crown's status? It looks pretty normal. No unusual wear or tear.

The cape, at least, is a decent fit on Skywarp, though the underside of it is white, so you can really only get the full experience on the parts that are over his shoulders. It also looks normal aside from some of the stinky blue substance getting on it.]

[dakicover]

[ cool, cool. he will take those off to take to trial later, setting them away from the blue oil blood. last thing he needs is to contaminate evidence.

then let's take a look at those wounds. where on the front are they? on top of that, what direction do they go to, and what's their relative size? ]

[killerwaves]

[That pesky blue oil bloodstuff, it gets everywhere!

Anyway, the wounds are centered around the head and chest, and they have no directionality because they're puncture wounds, not terribly large but considerably deep even from a cursory glance. There's some of the blue blood dried around the holes.]

[microtransactions]

[ magolor is trekking all over the place tonight apparently, and he's going to head back to the go-kart from before to take a look at it. any cosmetic damage other than skywarp bleeding all over it?

if he looks into the internals how's the engine looking. skywarp's pretty big, does it look like it shows evidence of being under strain having to haul him all the way from waterfall which i may or may not have to also check out to the side of the theater here?

and since this is mag's first time checking the planetarium->theater trail more closely, are the tire tracks quality still the same i.e. straight lines and harsh turns? ]

[killerwaves]

[ There are no trails from planetarium to the theater, but the trails/etc. in the theater area can be witnessed from over the planetarium's side. In addition, yes, they're all the same!

Nothing else going on with the go-kart, including no sign of being under strain of having to be hauled from one place to another. ]

[microtransactions]

[ huh. and it's just parked all neatly like, yes? not flipped on its side or anything?

... if he tries to look underneath the kart will he see any idk, scuff or obvious "I PICKED THIS UP AND TOWED IT HERE" marks on it?

to clarify: what does the distribution of blue blood in/on the kart look like? there's some on the back, in the seat, is there any down where the like. feetsies would go for a normal person? and does it like, look evenly spread, or is there more blood in specific spots? ]

[killerwaves]

[ It's parked neatly; not flipped on its side!

No signs of anyone picked up the kart, nope!!

The distribution on the kart is that the blood in the passenger's seat and then there is some on the back. No even spread, it's kind of wonky. That's about it! ]

[microtransactions]

[ a perfectly okay kart, if a little bled on... i see...

for thoroughness's sake he may or may not trek back to waterfall, he guesses. also for my own sake he's taking pictures, snap snap. ]
