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

[It does look like her right wrist was injured! However, the question now is if C is wearing gloves.]

[losergod]

[ He has a pair of black gloves from his one outfit, and thank god for that. He had them off for a little bit so he could not dirty them, but if it's looking bad enough he's probably going to put them back on to continue the examination.

... How bad is it. ]

[strangerpeople]

[Well, does crafting herpes count? Because there's glitter on her, a good deal on her right hand and arm.]

[losergod]

[ ... G... glitter. What. Okay, that's... uh... well, he files that information away for now, at least. That's weird.

Let's check out her neck next. How bad is that? ]

EVIDENCE (CW: Throat cutting)

[strangerpeople]

[There is something up with her neck: it appears to have been cut.]

[losergod]

[ Gross! Time to observe the cut and find out what kinda marking it looks like. How deep is it? What exactly does the wound look like? Is it jagged or smooth? How big is it?

These are all things he's going to be looking for and thinking about. He's also going to check the back of her neck to see if it went all the way through. ]

EVIDENCE (CW: Some Blood)

[strangerpeople]

[It definitely looks like it was done with a knife. There is some bleeding but not so much.]

[losergod]

[ Okay, just to be sure, can he determine the size of the wound to get an estimate on the size of the knife? ]

[strangerpeople]

[Nope, he won't be able to tell! But there's still stuff on her face that he might be able to check out since he's there.]

[losergod]

[ All right, well, let's check out her face. He's going to be very thorough, remembering to check her ears, even. This feels very wrong but whatever he's great at disassociating out his mind.

It's

Fine. ]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[Since this mod was dumb and did not notice the one question about bruising: there is none. So yay?

But there is something about her eyes: it looks like there are dried tears around them.]

[losergod]

[ ... Oh no that's so sad. Is that all? Is there anything else on the body to find? ]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[One more thing: there's a sheet. But don't worry, it's covering up the more important parts.

Also glitter on it. That stuff can get everywhere, sheesh.]

[losergod]

[ He's gonna be sparkling for the rest of his life, Jesus. Okay. Well. Looks like he's done here.

Anything else in the bathroom of note, now that he's done investigating the body? Anything around the sinks or toilets or whatever? He's going to give it a thorough sweep. ]

EVIDENCE (CW: Blood)

[strangerpeople]

[Now that you're done with the body, there is indeed more to look at. But first, there is something next to the body to take notice: a knife. Nothing specific about it but there is some uncleaned blood on the blade.]

[losergod]

[ The... potential murder weapon? Hang on. You're right, this IS more important. Hey, can he take his knife and try to match it to her injury?

Or am I just retreading old ground here and annoying you. I'M SORRY HE'D TRY TO DO THIS. ]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[Nah, you fine!

As for the knife, it does match.]

[losergod]

[ Well that is Very Important Indeed. He's going to leave it back where it was originally, but make a mental note of it.

Is there anything else in the bathroom? Like blood in the sinks, for example? ]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[No blood in the sinks but there is a piece of that sheet that is on the body caught in the stall door. Good thing that the poor girl is mostly covered otherwise awkward.]

[losergod]

[ ... He has no idea how on earth that happened but he's going to commit that to memory, too. He has a feeling this sheet is really important.

Anything else? What about the floors? The walls? THE CEILING? ]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[More glitter!

But that's pretty obvious by now. Outside of glitter, there is tape that has a lot of glitter stuck to it.]

[losergod]

[ Why. Why so much glitter.

He's going to gingerly look at it. Is it one of the tapes for the tape gacha? ]

[strangerpeople]

[It's just regular old sticky tape, no gacha.]

[losergod]

[ Ohhhh, okay. That kind of tape. Just making sure. Kinda weird there's sticky tape here, but okay.

Does it lead anywhere, or is it just sticky tape? ]

[strangerpeople]

[It's just a piece of sticky tape.
