WEEK 5 INVESTIGATION

[killerwaves]

INVESTIGATION

Good Mourning. Unlike the previous weeks, there's no musical serenade to greet you, just the ambient sounds of the island and the stirrings of those you spent the night with, if you were the type to want company. For those of you on certain islands, the background thrum (and siren laments, for those unlucky) of the warp phenomenon may also have sung you to sleep; but will they sing you to waking? You know how this goes by now, so is anything on this of all mornings really comforting? And is everyone you spent the night with still with you...?

Indeed, the not-so-dulcet tones of the ever-present haze fill the morning; you may not want it accounted for, but here it is nevertheless.

(( OOC: Welcome to your final murder investigation, let's get this party started☆ ))

[ Nope, the birds are free of glass actually. And the largest glass shards are probably about fingernail size? A lot of them are pretty small actually. So yeah, pretty hard to use as an improved weapon.

Nothing else to see on the pheasants but since he's all up in their business he will notice the pheasants look pretty pale.

Looking around the glass coverage up, down, sideways, it all looks peaceful and unremarkable. ]

[killerwaves]

[ None marks! ]

[plunges]

[ This is what I get for rushing. Anyway uh, he'll try to use the light from his U-pinion! If there's no flashlight then the light from his screen, maybe? ]

[killerwaves]

[Definitely when he’s out of here, there’s no licensed therapists on this island nor should they be.

It’s a thin little layer of snow, perhaps half an inch on the bench with visible traces from where it was disturbed around Nona.]

[killerwaves]

[ Either is feasible, they're definitely mangled. ]

[divector]

[ yikes, jumping in to help crea here SORRY BOY

except i rolled a goddamn 1 so uh

this isn't gonna end well for him ]

[diabolizes]

[ Hi, he's here to take over for Lacus. He'll get to those injuries once he's done looking over the contents of those pockets.

All of this doesn't seem particularly out of place, given what he knows about Zelkov, though he's gonna examine that kitchen knife for any potential blood or chips not consistent with normal wear and tear.

And... any DMs since last night on that U-PINION? He wants to be a little bit respectful of Zelkov's privacy... ]

[chosenwang]

[ Fun times! I'm dumb and can't remember if i checked for blood
so uh
how much blood is on the floor of the freezer? Is there any blood in the opening itself? ]

[killerwaves]

[ The herb garden was untouched!

So even if there is a lot of plant damage, it's closer towards the entrance of the garden in general. ]

[killerwaves]

[ That works! It's not like pitch dark in here because there are windows but it's not exactly the place for much natural lighting (also the windows are broken but not completely shattered), but it is a bit dark to just go by what sunlight is streaming in. Anyway, there's no other details from the dance machines other than in general this corner seems to have born the brunt of the damage and as mentioned, there's seating here for spectators.

Since he's looking around though he'll notice damage to the one of the flat screen tvs on a nearby wall. ]

[microtransactions]

[ but then who was glass

so glass all over the floor, birds on top. also if these pheasants went and bled out that much is like. all that blood accounted for, between the matted feathers and the ground under them. or is the ground relatively clean, meaning that someone bled these birds elsewhere? before moving them on over here...

does any of the glass look weird, stray blood on random edges, anything?

uuugghhh fine. source of the glass remains a mystery for now. in that case, time to search in earnest. if he ducks into the nook area with the books and trinkets and everything, does this look relatively undisturbed or nah. ]

[ jumping in to help crea more like crea jumping in to grab ibuki by the shirt and unceremoniously shove him away with one arm.

and because i rolled the fucking nat 20, he's going to dodge athos and reach out again.

to ibuki: ]

Don't go getting yourself killed unnecessarily! [ and to athos, as if the creature can understand him: ] Stop fighting back!

[gluttoning]

[Taking back over for Crea so he can go get chewed on by an animal, rip buddy

Is any of the blood fresh enough for Beel to still smell, or would the snow have washed the scent out? Can he disturb the snow immediately under where that staining was, just to brush some of the fresh snow away and see if there's anything soaking to the floor?]

[solutionary]

[If Baizhu gently swirls the mystery liquid, will it tell him any of its secrets? Precipitates, color changes, puff of poison smoke?]

[killerwaves]

[ There's something going on by one of the flatscreens but Xiao is over there, so maybe he wants to take a look outside? ]

[divector]

[ he'd say something but he's busy being yeeted. yeaaah he deserved that, he's gonna let himself sail for a few feet

except this was a nat 1 roll so he lands towards in the overturned go-kart somehow

and it somehow tips over him because of course

ow

man he really doesn't wanna be doing this??? ]

[plunges]

[ OKAY, just gonna take a picture of the damage to the tv (with flash). What sort of damage are we talking about, here? Shattered glass everywhere, a few cracks...? ]

[lestrois]

[ He just growls, baring his teeth at Crea as he gets yelled at. His teeth are goopy and red, if that makes you feel any better. ]

[dancing_flames]

[Works for him. So what is going on outside that he should check out?]

[dakicover]

[ joshua fucking christ. ]

[dakicover]

[ red... does it look like blood red?

either way, crea's going to try and change his approach? he'll turn off his ability, stretching his hands out palm first. maybe if he shows that he doesn't want...? to hurt??? him??? ]

Listen. I don't want to hurt you. You're safe.

[ please don't bite? ]

[killerwaves]

[ Ground is clean besides the glass! And a clarification, the pheasants had broken necks too.

None of the glass has any markings or stray blood.

The area with the books and trinkets is undisturbed! Including any trinkets that contain glass. ]

[divector]

[ alas his feelings are never returned. why athos why

he's going to be stunned for a bit until the nat 1 passes, sorry team ]

[lestrois]

[ Sure could be!

Anyway it continues to growl at him, but doesn't at least go for him again, what with Quin's skeleboi still on him. But it's extremely tenuous, and that could change at any moment.

Make it quick, boyos. ]

[killerwaves]

[ Shuda has found a bloodtrail! It starts at the entrance/exit of the arcade where it's pretty heavy, and it leads to the railways, getting consistently lighter as it goes. ]
