[Good morning, Strangers.

How do you all feel today? Sad? Confused? Worried? Well, that's not the Hosts' problem. You guys are the ones being stubborn and obstinate, after all. In any case, it's time for all of you to get up and start moving.

It's Friday. Maybe you'll luck out and everyone's alive. But there's only one way to find out.]

Comments

[carryabigstick]

[While this might not be the murder she found, this is the one she wants to investigate the most-- and there are others more interested in Akira's death that deserve that closure so... here she stays.

Do we start with the body? Probably.]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[She will notice right away the area of blood where his gut is.]

[carryabigstick]

[Right. Injuries. She has some experience with these, so it should be okay.

Any telling signs of what caused the wound?]

[strangerpeople]

[Probably something sharp and pointy, by the looks of it.

She might notice that despite that, the wound is not particularly blood-soaked.]

[carryabigstick]

[Huh. If she had to guess, that would mean that the weapon had stayed in his body stopping the blood-- so it should be nearby if that's the case.

First though, she's going to look for the other wound that was depicted, the smaller one on his chest.]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[For that she will need to take off his top.

When she does she will see the small dot on his upper right pec.]

[carryabigstick]

[Just how big is this tiny dot? Is it needle sized or just regular small?]

[strangerpeople]

[The size of a...um. Nickel. Which Estelle wouldn’t know about.





Let’s go with the size of the tip of your pointer finger when you press it on a surface. So about a half-inch or so.]

[carryabigstick]

[That she can relate to. Cool, cool...

Is there anything else of note about his body aside from the wounds themselves?]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[Aside from his body basically being in the entranceway of his house, nope.

Where to next?]

[carryabigstick]

[Assuming there's nothing out of place in the doorway besides the body itself, she's going to check inside the house. She's not going to go far at first but--

What she's looking for is a potential weapon, although she'll also take note of the state of the house itself.]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[She won’t have to look long.

There is a gun near the body.]

[carryabigstick]

[Cool, cool-- she's just gonna take that.

Assuming the gun may have been used here, are there any signs on Nanaki's shirt of gunpowder or burns around the shirt or his skin?]

[strangerpeople]

[None that can be immediately discernible.

It looks like Estelle has found everything! Take the gun and leave the cannoli and go forth!]
