THE FIRST INVESTIGATION
(~SK. 3)

[Morning comes.


It's quiet on the HMHS Gigantic. No birds sing, no sun shines, and everyone's still stuck with the threat of death. Even if the threat of death involves a ticket to a theme park. And a cheeseburger. Indeed, people went to bed last night confident in their belief that no one would ever kill for something so paltry.

Seriously, a cheeseburger. It's something people can make in ten minutes.

Anyways, it's time to wake up, and go through the motions of the day as usual.

So, Strangers.

What are you doing this fine day?]

Comments

[strangerpeople]

[The latter. It's on a middle-high shelf, if that makes sense.]

[somuchshipping]

Yeah, I think I'm more into the action, too, than all the gore. It's still fun watching people die!

[H E R M E S.]

[strangerpeople]

[The best way to describe it is a slightly squiggly circle. With a rectangle shape sticking out of it.]

[onychomance]

...Frankly in this group I'm not surprised. Though she was the first one I would expect to try.

[he has such a high opinion of everyone clearly. He is eyeing Alastor with suspicion as well, mostly because they have yet to meet and. I mean. Look at him]

[lovedthemost]

[So 50°C total. A bad temperature for humans, he knows, but for himself...that's another matter. Not something he wants to do by any means, but if something's in there...

Brain is going to try and find a way to either look inside the incinerator or just open the thing up.]

[hatesdeerstalkers]

[....?????

Can it be picked up and inspected?]

[strangerpeople]

[Once it's turned off, you can go in!]

[strangerpeople]

[Nope. It's just a pool of blood with a weird shape.]

[onychomance]

[Good. Then he can handle this. He will take a step forward and peer at it from all sides.]

[strangerpeople]

[As he does, he will find something behind the head.]

[lovedthemost]

[Cool, he's going to just...do that and peer inside before going all the way in. As far as he thinks, it'll be, at maximum, uncomfortable, but that doesn't mean he wants to go in if he doesn't have to.]

[superstylishsquid]

[Yeah, he knows, most people look at him and assume he's a vicious monster. But he's actually looking distinctly unamused as he examines the blood for any sort of footprints or distinctive trail.]

Maybe not, her doll the other day said she doesn't hate the company of humans as much as she claims. Which is why I'm surprised it's her, and not someone whose secret was something dangerous or offensive.

[onychomance]

[hmm... He reaches behind to see what this is without the obstruction]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[There is a distinctive trail leading from the kitchen into the pantry/freezer, for one. Two, in fact.

And there are some faint partial prints.]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[Congrats, Kira!

You now have a bloody sword!]

[hatesdeerstalkers]

[...Huh. Well then. That seems...important.

He'll straighten up (and complain about his back ow ow) and check out the stalls before he calls it. Anything interesting in there?]

[superstylishsquid]

I'll be right back, I'm gonna go grab one of those cameras. Maybe see if there's a ruler around, too.

[exequte]

It wouldn't be enough to leave, though. Even h-having done this it wouldnt be enough. S-so... why??

[strangerpeople]

[Nope.

It looks like you've found everything, Moriarty. Go and rest.]

[strangerpeople]

[Untouched.]

[hatesdeerstalkers]

[Good!

He's washing his face and going back to bed to nap for a few hours. Being a detective, yecch...]

[godspiousjasper]

[ Going to go inspect those smudges. Do they look like it'd been made by say... human hands? ]

[pegasinister]

[Hubert: /does nothing but observe ominously

...finally he can pee, thank the goddess]
