[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.]

Comments

[poorlovefool]

[well, no surprise. A problem definitely came along. Now they have no choice but to go forward, move ahead, try to detect it, and hope it's not too late.

Eric crouches down to get a look at the whip. Anything straaaange about it, other than being so far away from anyone who could wield it?

We assume. Please let me know if there is an extra Johnny body by this whip.]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[If Eric looks closely, he will find what looks like hair strands on the whip.]

[poorlovefool]

[who whipped their hair back and forth?!

What color are the hairs]

[strangerpeople]

[Hard to tell, except they seem to be of a darker hue of color.

They are short-ish as well. Also stuck on the whip.]

[poorlovefool]

[which part are they stuck on, the whip part or the handle? Anything else about the whip or should he move on?

But in any case, he doesn't like the look of this hairy whip.]

[1/2]

[strangerpeople]

[They are stuck on the actual whip part.]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[Sorry for the slight ???? with the evidence, but Eric will notice, when he looks at the blood, that there is a blood trail with significant drops of blood leading away from the pool of blood.

It ends near the kitchen.]

[poorlovefool]

[where is the whip relative to the blood pool and kitchen? Is there more to be seen beyond the kitchen?]

[strangerpeople]

[The whip and the pool of blood are across the way from the kitchen, and the whip is a good foot or so away from where the pool of blood starts.

There is something else that Eric can see in the hallway, as well.]

[poorlovefool]

[alright. Gonna see what this is. Very careful like, glancing at what doors it's in front of.]

[strangerpeople]

[It looks to be closest to the elevator.]

[poorlovefool]

[and what is it]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[Scratches and gouges in the floor.]

[poorlovefool]

What the fuck?

[he doesn't like the look of that at all.... but what DO they look like?]

[strangerpeople]

[Like someone used multiple sharp pointed weapons on the ground.]

[poorlovefool]

[...USED them on the ground? Like trying to cut into the floor on purpose?

Which is to ask, how deep did they get in?]

[strangerpeople]

[It looks erratic, so it's possible that it wasn't intentional. It's not entirely possible to figure out.

As for the depth of the marks, they are about 1/16th of an inch at most.

[poorlovefool]

[Strange.

Any other sign of a struggle around here, or should he keep walking?]

[strangerpeople]

[Nope! Eric has found everything!]

[poorlovefool]

[Okay! Time to head back and check out what might have caused these scratchies then!]
