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 ☆ ))

[ 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... ]

[killerwaves]

[ Speaking of which! He will notice a bloody go-kart nearby. Since he's already outside... ]

[chosenwang]

[ Double the vehicular manslaughter. There's also a short king looking this way. Hi Chuuya!

Anyways, he's going to check out the go-kart! Is it painted blue with blood? Is there anything else? Something left on the pedals or signs of a robot shoving his seven foot dancing queen self in? ]

[killerwaves]

[ What a terrible fate indeedy...while short king lingers in the background, Wang Lu's investigation is definitely happenin'.

So, that go-kart is sure looking mostly fine, actually! Void of any signs of robot pieces, though there sure is that Transformer-esque blue-colored 'blood' that Wang Lu can notice on the roof of said go-kart! ]

[chosenwang]

[ Can't believe the go-kart is now an uber eats delivering robts. He's going to take a picture of it then go check the seats of the go-kart. Any blemishes on the steering wheels? Any fiber left sitting in it? ]

clarification: go-karts

[killerwaves]

[ Apologies, so a quick correction!

There is actually no roof for go-karts, so actually, feel free to have him notice that there is blood in the non-driver seat of this go-kart as Wang Lu is searching this up closely. That lovely blue blood all over that seat would be quite a blemish...

As for the steering wheel, it's devoid of any oddities or damage. There are no fibers that have been left sitting in the go-kart as well. ]

[chosenwang]

[ Noted o7

Our topless karts to go with all the tops in the game huh

If he was a blocky seven foot robot, would he be able to fit in the non-drivers side fine or would whomever driving would be squished?

Also is there a go-kart tire marks on the road at all leading to where it's stationary? ]

[killerwaves]

[ Since he's pretty huge, it'd probably be quite a tight squeeze, huh. Well, to be quite frank, given Skywarp's size and Wang Lu probably math ladying the particulars by eyeballing things, he can also conclude that if the two were sitting normally side by side that would be too difficult.

There is some blue blood that is a bit over the back of the go-kart as well, which might explain some of the tale. Or, well, make logistics still difficult, but you know how it is.

Re: stationary, Wang Lu would be able to tell that the go-kart became stationary at right outside of the theater, where he found it. ]

[chosenwang]

[ Hmm. Why would it be on brand for Skywarp to not give his enemy the satisfaction of stealing the last of his breath and posing himself on the throne?

Okay! He will give a final look over of the go-kart to make sure he hasn't missed anything in it or around it. ]

[killerwaves]

[ He has not missed anything around or in it!

Though, one more thing that Wang Lu might have noticed earlier in the theater is that there was a vacant spot, indicative of one missing theater seat/chair amongst the usual assortment of theater chairs. ]

[chosenwang]

[ Would that happen to be the throne of Skywarp's final resting place? ]

[killerwaves]

[ Correctomundo, Detective Wang Lu! ]

[chosenwang]

[ He used his one whole brain cell! ]

[dupiety]

[Proud of you, dearest.]

[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. ]
