THE FIRST INVESTIGATION

[Good Friday morning, everyone!

Ah, the sun is shini--no.

Well, the birds are singi--....no...

It's time to take a shower and--...oh.

It's...the bats are...cute....?




Ok, it's a dreary and miserable morning and everyone is annoyed that they are here and there's an infestation of spiders and creepy happenings and the Stewards are jerks and no one likes this place, ever. Fine. Be that way. So.

What is everyone doing?]

Comments

[necroyalty]

[Let's... do that.]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[And there is the gaping wound, straight through the back. No exit wound in the front, but it still looks like it could have been nasty.

Despite that, there's very little blood coming from the wound.]

Re: EVIDENCE

[necroyalty]

[Ugh and this is why she prefers skeletons to zombies.

But.

Let's lightly touch the wound, does it still feel fresh?]

[strangerpeople]

[It does not.

She will notice something else, though.]

[necroyalty]

[Oh god what is it]

[strangerpeople]

[It's actually a small wooden spear, wedged into Akko's back.

It looks like it came from the Arena.]

[silvertongueheir]

[...why. Is that injury on her waist on her back as well, or do they have to turn her over again?]

[strangerpeople]

[Looks like they will have to turn her over.]

[silvertongueheir]

...sorry. [That they need to keep flipping her corpse. So what's that waist wound like?]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[There is actually a knife stuck in her stomach. Flipping the body back and forth doesn't seem to have messed with it much-it's in there pretty deep.]

[silvertongueheir]

Oh come on- [This is just overkill! What kind of knife is it?]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[It's just a practice knife from the arena.

It might also be important to note that despite the obvious depth of the knife in Akko's stomach, there's very little blood beneath her or from the wound in general.]

[silvertongueheir]

[Oh man, they stabbed her after she died? What the hell, man? Although now he's going to take another look at those head wounds to see how much they're bleeding.]

[strangerpeople]

[They stopped bleeding long ago, but there definitely is a little bit of dried blood where the cuts are.]

[silvertongueheir]

[Any residue in the cuts that might suggest what was used for them?]

[strangerpeople]

[Nope!

Anything else you want to check on the body?]

[silvertongueheir]

[...back to the water, he supposes. Does she show any signs of having inhaled any while her face was stuck in the bucket?]

[strangerpeople]

[Nope!]

[silvertongueheir]

[Great. How about let's take another look at those two stab wounds? Does it look like they were actually made with those weapons, or more like a weapon stuck into a previous stab wound?]

[strangerpeople]

[It looks like they were actually made by those weapons.]

[silvertongueheir]

[Alright. He'll look at her hands next. Does it look like she's holding anything? If that doesn't turn up any clues, he'll also look at the bottom of her shoes to try and figure out where she was walking before this.]

[strangerpeople]

[Left or right hand first?]

[silvertongueheir]

[Krone's got the hands. Let's start looking at the feet, then. Any odd residue on her shoes?]

[strangerpeople]

[Sadly, no.]

[silvertongueheir]

[Well, damn. I guess he'll also take a look at her right hand in case she was holding something else in there.]
