[The day has come.

..Valentine's Day, of course! Or should we now call it...ValITine's Day? Well, it doesn't matter. It's a Friday.

Hopefully, the Strangers got through this week without killing. But perhaps it's best to be sufficiently paranoid and check first, hmm?]

Comments

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[Impossible to tell, because it looks partly healed up, oddly enough.]

[unwittingking]

...huh.

[Healed how? Like “This is probably some magic” healed or “Someone did some first aid pretty well on short notice” healed?]

[strangerpeople]

[It seems more akin to the former, if anything.]

[unwittingking]

[Thank you Eliza for getting him familiar with magic healing. He owes you...more than he already did.

Alright, any sign they were trying to stop the bleeding? If someone tried to heal her with a potion, he can’t see them also trying to stop the bleeding.]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[Well, it looks like someone tried to, if Lala's hand is any indication.

There are blood stains on her fingers and palm.]

[unwittingking]

[Yeah, figured. Doesn’t paint a pretty picture of how it happened, but...it’s showing something.

So, someone shot her, and she had enough time to try to stop the bleeding before they cut her throat. Sad, but possible, he guesses.

Anything else off here, or should he look elsewhere on the body?

(...also, the blood is red, right? Or is this alien chartreuse colored blood here?)]

[strangerpeople]

[The blood is red.

Nothing more in Lala's hand. Time to move elsewhere on the body!]

[unwittingking]

[Alright, cool, cool, he can feel just as uncomfortable about this as he would with anyone else’s blood. Awesome.

Moving on, is there anything else up with the stomach wound? Or is it time to find the next noticeable thing?]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[Well, he will notice that there's not that much blood there anymore. In fact, both injuries look like they were cleaned up, or at least someone attempted it.]

[unwittingking]

[They...cleaned up? That’s...that’s new.

Any sign of how? Or is this just mystery cleaning?]

[strangerpeople]

[It looks like someone tried to wipe the body down.]

[unwittingking]

[He almost thinks fingerprints before he remembers that they don’t even have the tech to look for that stuff. It’s...weird, and he’s got an idea about it, but he’ll save it for the trial.

Anything else of note? Or is it time to find some food to take to the trial?]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[There is more.

There are off hairs on Lala's arms.]

[unwittingking]

[Hair? Can he tell what color? A lot of people have specific hair colors, so it shouldn’t be too hard to tell who’s it is.]

[strangerpeople]

[They are long and white.]

[unwittingking]

...that fucking rat.

[Yes, he’s assuming. Not his best idea, maybe, but he’s still doing it.

He’ll grab those and check for anything else. Nothing like defensive wounds or anything? Or are we good?]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[There is one more thing, King will notice.

Lala's antennae are unevenly-sized.]

[unwittingking]

[He...thought those were hair accessories before yesterday, so that should probably be checked out.

Which one is longer than the other? Does it look like there’s a reason they’d be uneven, or is this just a weird random thing?]

[strangerpeople]

[Her left one. So, it would be the one King's right side.

As it turns out, it looks like there was some, uh, antenna extending of some kind.]

[unwittingking]

[So, opposite of where the damage to the neck started. Odd, but okay.

And he’d probably be more freaked out by the antenna extending thing, but he did find out Lala was an alien yesterday, so it’s not at bad.

Does it look like she tried to do anything with the extended antenna? Or Can he just tell that it’s extended?]

[strangerpeople]

[No real way to tell.]

[unwittingking]

[Awesome, great.

Anything else here? Or should he go get food for people for when the trial happens?]

[strangerpeople]

[Nothing else! Feel free to get the food!]

[unwittingking]

[I hope someone here likes sand-flavored grilled cheese, cold sand pasta, and fried, lumpy food of some sort that also tastes like sand.]
