[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

[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.]

[otherworldlyking]

Tch.

[ They're not anything like the kind of flames that Caleb produces either, are they? It's a longshot, but something tells him it'd be best to confirm before trial, and once he's done he might bring the other over to see if he could tell if it's from like...a chemical, or something else he could recognize.

Anyway, that's interesting. She didn't have like another wound to the back of the head underneath all that burnt hair, did she? ]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[Nope, nothing like that, so far as McBurn can figure.


There's no other obvious wounds in her hair, but McBurn will find something both there and on patches of Vita's back: a...foamy...substands of some kind.]

[otherworldlyking]

[ Awesome.

...Did this foamy thing look kind of bloody? What color was it...? ]

[strangerpeople]

[White. It doesn't look particularly bloody.]

[otherworldlyking]

[ Anything else particularly noteworthy about these...things? ]

[strangerpeople]

[Not really.

Keep looking on Vita's body?]

[otherworldlyking]

[ Yep! ...Anything else going on with her backside here? ]

[strangerpeople]

[He will notice her knives, sheathed in their holders.]

[otherworldlyking]

[ So if he took them out...

They don't look used or bloody, do they? ]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[They do not.]

[otherworldlyking]

[ Hm.

Alright, anything else he'd notice about her from this view? ]

[strangerpeople]

[He would notice something on her left thigh, actually.]

[otherworldlyking]

[ Well, good thing he's still looking over here.

So, what's on her left thigh? ]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[A very suspicious set of three small, bloodied stab wounds.]
