THE FIRST INVESTIGATION

[As Friday morning dawns, everything is quiet. Serene, even. It's been almost two weeks since the beginning of their stay here, and the time to fulfill the Commander's ultimatum offer is almost up. It seems that no one's taken her up on the offer, so far.

Maybe the lack of murder will continue, as everyone starts to go about their day....but there's only one way to find out.

Let's go about our normal routine, shall we?]

Comments

[theserpentsmiles]

[He heard a scream, he can only assume that means there's really been an incident. He's got "something amiss" right in front of him, so.

TELL ME ABOUT THE GLITTER.]

[stealsyourduelist]

[Hey library buddy, let's investigate another thing together.]

What happened here?

[theserpentsmiles]

Not sure yet. This glitter wasn't here yesterday, though. [A pause; he hadn't gone running when he heard the scream.] Who was it?

[stealsyourduelist]

'Twas the Azure Diva. Perhaps this 'glitter' belonged to her, then... it looks like her taste.

[theserpentsmiles]

Clotilde-san... Come to think of it, I think she was a little glittery when I spoke to her a few days ago.

[stealsyourduelist]

Her dress did shine like this. I suppose she'll be seeing that Chevalier of hers again...

[He shakes his head, then holds up a camera he grabbed from Bottson on the way in.]

The machine servant wishes for us to use these in the investigation, if you would like to do the honors.

[seeing how he hasn't moved from that spot yet]

[theserpentsmiles]

I don't know much about her...just that she sings - sang - opera.

Cameras for documenting evidence...not a bad idea.

[strangerpeople]

[ We could tell you all about the glitter, but it's all over the floor - where do you want to start? ]

[theserpentsmiles]

[Is it like someone walked through a pile, or like it was sprinkled around? How much glitter are we talking - a light dusting all over the place or like a few jars were upended?]

[strangerpeople]

[ It is more trails of glitter, one leading towards the door and fading, another towards a chair. ]

[stealsyourduelist]

[Let's follow the legend of heroes Trails in the Glitter then, what's with the chair?]

[strangerpeople]

[ There is nothing suspicious about the chair once you get there. ]

[stealsyourduelist]

[Well that is suspicious in and of itself!! There isn't even glitter on it?

What if he lifts the seat or pushes it around?]

[strangerpeople]

[ Nothing. Just a simple chair. ]

[stealsyourduelist]

[Sigh. Fine, is there anything under it? If not, he's going to move deeper into the theater and see if there's anything else inside.]

[strangerpeople]

[Nope. Despite the copious amounts of glitter, there is nothing else in the immediate chair area.]

[stealsyourduelist]

[Fine then, how about around the screen?]

[theserpentsmiles]

[Perfect, something to follow. He's assuming something was moved out of here, but maybe something was brought here. ...either way, there's bound to be something to see at the door. Maybe we'll figure out where it went.]

[backuphero]

[Hopefully the door won't have it's... whatever may be near... disturbed by someone walking unsteadily towards it.

Oh, God, Nagisa, of all people....]

Told Akira I'd check here. Guess you did, though?

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[If you mean the door to the theater, then there is a trail of glitter there as well. Even a good amount on the door and floor around it.]

Re: EVIDENCE

[theserpentsmiles]

[Oh, hey Jonathan. Nagisa actually doesn't look too bothered - just focused. Evidently he's unshaken. Then again...he didn't go running to see the body either.]

Working on it. There's glitter everywhere in here. Rosenkreuz-san is checking the other end of the trail.

[How high up the door does it go? What about the walls around the door?]

[strangerpeople]

[It does include the wall as well, in part. It’s everywhere.]

[theserpentsmiles]

[Is it on both sides of the door and walls, or does it maybe look like it was glitter bombed from one side only?]

[strangerpeople]

[Definitely more one-sided.]

[theserpentsmiles]

[For clarification, that side is the theater-side?]
