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

[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?]

[strangerpeople]

[Nothing around the screen, but he will notice something is up on the way there.]

[stealsyourduelist]

[Rosenkreuz pauses.

What, pray tell, did he just notice?]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[There is an open tape closet with tapes scattered everywhere around it.]

[stealsyourduelist]

[Well then, he'll check that out, looking it up and down. Does it basically look like something hit this closet, dropping tapes off? What kind of state is it in?]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[It looks like a ton of tapes were toppled and scattered about. It looks like whoever was here didn’t exactly do it on purpose, either.

The tapes on the floor are also covered in glitter.]

[theserpentsmiles]

[If there's more to see over this way, let's see it. Anything that sticks out?? More glitter trails or one-sided glitterblasting?? Seto found knocked over tapes, anything else knocked around???]

[backuphero]

[Seems like it's a day for following other people around... but Jonathan stops in the middle of the room, looking around, dazed.

Is there anything different about the couches?]

[stealsyourduelist]

[Wow he's here for one second and suddenly everyone else is here too. He nods in greeting]

Gentlemen, it appears we've had some manner of accident here...

[Well now, how about them glitter tapes. Where exactly is the glitter? Is it similar to the tapes that have glitter on them by default ie the all or nothing ones?]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[No. The glitter all over these tapes is not the same as those tapes; it's more consistent with the glitter scattered everywhere.]

[stealsyourduelist]

[All right, then let's check inside the cabinet. For jars of glitter or something.]

[strangerpeople]

[No glitter. It all seems to be from an external source.]

[stealsyourduelist]

[Would it look familiar if he'd seen Vita wearing her dress?

He'll examine these tapes more closely, maybe pick some up. What's with them anyway... there's no reason to bury them in glitter, is there?]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[Yes, be it her dress or her fan, in fact.

The tapes, meanwhile, show no indication that they have been touched since they were glittered on. No prints, no disturbance.]

[stealsyourduelist]

[So the glitter likely just fell on them from above. Should he move on from this area then? If there was nothing in the cabinet...]

[strangerpeople]

[It actually appears everything has been found. Excellent job!]

[strangerpeople]

[Nothing's different about the couches!]

[strangerpeople]

[Unfortunately, no - that seems to be it!]
