[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]

[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.]

[otherworldlyking]

[ ...Well. Now do these look like they came from a knife or a blade of some kind? ]

[strangerpeople]

[No. They seem to come from something...suspiciously fork-like.]

[otherworldlyking]

[ ...A fork, then (?) Maybe. Well, either way, did she have anything else going on here? ]

[strangerpeople]

[Mmmmmaybe.

Otherwise, though, there's no other thing on her immediate body to note that isn't being given to Karma because we might have forgotten to do something, oops..

Is Burnie going to look anywhere else, or go take a nap?]

[otherworldlyking]

[ Well, looks like he's finally done here.

Though, he'll step over to Caleb, grumble something about the burns, so the other could take a look at them too before he goes off for that sweet nap. ]

[katzenpfote]

[He's being called over what -]

[Okay. Let's take a look at those burns. Do they look shallow on the skin, or more severe burns?]

[strangerpeople]

[Very severe.]

[katzenpfote]

[What's the pattern of burns like, or is it all a single strip?]

[strangerpeople]

[A single strip..]

[katzenpfote]

[... Hey now. He looks at his wrist screen. The laser bat is missing?]

[Shit, he has no idea. McBurn's already fucked off, who would know about lasers?]

[... Ah.]

Karma? Can you come here a moment?

[comesaround]

...Yeah? What's up?

[ He's got a second to spare, so he comes over, curious. ]

[katzenpfote]

Would something called a 'laser bat' do something like this?

[He points to the burns.]

[comesaround]

[ He goes to look at it with a small hum. ]

Actually that would be my guess. It looks consistent with what a laser bat could do, though I've never seen it in action.

[katzenpfote]

Danke, lasers are not something I am familiar with.
