[Good morning again. It's Friday, and you know what that means.

Maybe people should start looking to see if anyone's taken Kyuubey at face value.]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[The first injury McBurn will note is the very obvious bruising on Vita's right temple.]

[otherworldlyking]

[ That's easy to see at least. What is she wearing, how was she positioned, and was there anything on her hands/arms? ]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[She is wearing her normal clothing, and she is positioned on her back.

As for what might be in her hands...her left hand is, in fact, holding Jonathan's left hand.]

[otherworldlyking]

[ ...oh.

Well, now's as good time as any to turn her over after checking out if she had anymore obvious wounds on her front. Because looking for other wounds/burns and all. ]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[As he does, before he gets to the further injuries, he'll also see that her right arm is folded over her chest.]

[otherworldlyking]

[ Just folded? Nothing clutched in her right hand or anything, right? ]

[strangerpeople]

[Nope.]

[otherworldlyking]

[ Alrighty. No bruises or anything on her legs on the front side as he goes to turn her over, then? ]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[Actually, there are bruises. On the left side, from her face to her chest. There is a little on her left arm, as well.]

[otherworldlyking]

[ What kind of bruises are these? Just look like they're from a weapon or if someone's hands? ]

[strangerpeople]

[Hard to say. It doesn't look like it's from a weapon, but it's not clear it's from someone's hands.]

[otherworldlyking]

[ Okay, that's weird. Are the bruises also big or a small collection of them strung together here? ]

[strangerpeople]

[A collection of them strung together.]

[otherworldlyking]

[ Ouch (?)

Anyway. Any other bruises/injuries/weirdness he should notice on her front besides all of that? ]

[strangerpeople]

[There are two shallow cuts on Vita's stomach.]

[otherworldlyking]

[ Two shallow cuts from a knife...or an obviously larger, "blade"/bladed weapon of some sort? ]

[strangerpeople]

[It seems to be a bit too shallow to be from a blade of any kind.]

[otherworldlyking]

[ Something about that was really strange, but until he found what could be a match, it feels like it'd be hard to tell what it could be...

Anything else to be found on her frontside here? ]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[Nothing except that these shallow cuts look to be post-mortem by the looks of it.

And that is it!...for Vita's front side.]

[otherworldlyking]

[ ...Hm, well then.

Time to turn her around. So what's she got going on here that'd be easy to spot, or close to it, anyway? ]

EVIDENCE (cw: burnt flesh)

[strangerpeople]

[Well, first things first.

Her backside looks like she fell asleep on the barbie, nnnngh. And not only that but McBurn can smell the burnt hair, clothing, and skin even as he's turning her over.]

[otherworldlyking]

[ Barbie = barbwire, this rper presumes.

But, yay, fantastic. Talk about overkill much?

He's actually no stranger to the smell, considering. But that didn't make it pleasant.

It's actually pretty amazing her back looked this bad. How far do the burns reach? Down to the back of her legs? ]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[Barbie = barbeque, actually.

The burns reach down to the back of her legs, but the worst area is her back.]

[otherworldlyking]

[ Well then...in that case, would it be right to assume then that the burns do not look like they're electrical in nature and appear as if they came from normal flames of some sort?

For the two most obvious, probable sources anyway. ]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[They do not look electrical, but they don't look like they came from any normal flames.

Also, because this is a clue, McBurn will notice that whatever burnt her also burnt most of her hair into oblivion, along with the parts of her clothes closest to her hair.]
