THE SECOND INVESTIGATION
(~SK. 10)


[It is freezing. The temperature? Who knows at this point.

Today is a day for blankets and whatever you can grab to keep yourself warm. It truly seems like there is a winter without end, and that eventually everything will wither and die, including you. So bitter. So harsh. So cruel.

It's not fair. Then again, didn't Zero say life isn't fair? Well, Zero isn't freezing his butt off. Really, it's just too cold on the ship to do much of anything outside of keeping warm. Like, say, murder.



Right? Well. There's only one way to find out. So, what are the Strangers doing as they wake up shivering on this cold, cold day, which may or may not be a Friday according to the calendar?]

[ Who the fuck desecrated the sauna beds like this ]

[yesorwoof]

Getting—someone's getting started on the strip search early.

[Makima poking her head inside and alerting Val to an issue and realizing at the last second that she has to sound smug so that it is not a question. Also what's the border between the spa and sauna area, is it a door? Is something wrong with the door?]

[valkavian]

Yeah, I kiiiiiinda don't like being a popsicle.

Guess someone had to ruin that for me this morning.

[strangerpeople]

[Nothing wrong with the door. No one's tried to eat it, let's keep going.]

[yesorwoof]

[Val is looking at the stuff underneath so Makima will look above? Any problems above? Seems there's a lot of stuff.]

[strangerpeople]

[Shockingly, no. There's nothing on top of the beds.]

[yesorwoof]

[What about above-above. Like flying Chainsaw Man found. On the ceiling? What is wrong with this room if the only things she sees when she walks inside are vague lumps under the sauna beds and a blood trail? Is she supposed to be looking in a towel cabinet or something?]

[strangerpeople]

[Nope-just under the beds.]

[yesorwoof]

[Uh. Okay. Val can take the left bed, for leftism, and Makima can take the right bed, for being a cop. She's going in.]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[Ok! Stuff under the beds, let's go!


Just putting that up there because I forgot to put the evidence header in my previous response. Whoops.]

[yesorwoof]

[Makima is going in! She is investigating the right bed!]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[It's sword time!



Yes, there's a sword under this bed.]

[strangerpeople]

[Well, someone sure did put things under the left corner bed and the right corner bed.]

[valkavian]

[ always go left ]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[Well, first thing she'll see is a sword.]

[yesorwoof]

[Turning around to look at her and point back and forth like BOTH SWORDS??? REALLY???]

Re: EVIDENCE

[valkavian]

[...what kind of sword]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[Well, it's...a sword.

But it's a sword with a few small pink smears on it!]

Re: EVIDENCE

[valkavian]

[ Well Frick crack fuckety foo, let's just put that somewhere out of the way for now.

Anything else of note? She's gonna try moving away from the beds. ]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[No, there isn't.




Which is a problem, isn't it? Because there's no fingerprints on the hilt of this sword.]

Re: EVIDENCE

[valkavian]

[ Alright, that's something to take note of.

That blood trail from earlier, what color is it? ]

[strangerpeople]

[A combination of pink and red.]

[valkavian]

[ Any hairs or other things that might narrow this down a bit? ]

Re: EVIDENCE

[valkavian]

[ WHAT THE FUCK

Uh

Are there fingerprints ANYWHERE here? ]

[strangerpeople]

[Not a one.]
