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?]

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.]

[yesorwoof]

[WHY IS IT ALWAYS SWORDS?

immediately taking a picture

what is the type of sword, is it like her sword? is it the case 1 sword? we will sniff the word in a second but finally, is there stuff besides the sword?]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

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




A sword with blood on it, sure, but.]

[yesorwoof]

[...normal, red, unsugary blood, right? Also please describe the blood. Scattered? Actually looks like the sword was stabbed deep into a body? Isn't the trail kinda lacking?

Isn't there being blood rather strange when the blood trail was strictly outside the sauna?]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[Yes, it's definitely red blood.

In fact, there's two distinct patches of blood-one in the middle and one closer to the tip of the sword.]

[yesorwoof]

[Sighs. She gets out some of her napkins intended for breath checks and, like, a toothpick, and she plucks a little drop from each area onto two labeled sections.]

area 1
area 2

[Val is gonna have to lick these.]

[valkavian]

Wait, shit, you found a sword too?

[yesorwoof]

[Hiimdaisy why. Yeah she did find a sword too. Lick the sword now.

She scoots back on the floor a bit. 1, this gives Val more access to the sword. 2, Makima can see if maybe there's more underneath the sword? Anything?]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[There is.

There's a pile of empty little tubes that are beneath where the sword was.]

[yesorwoof]

?????????

[What part of the sword did they get underneath? No blood or pink gunk on them???

Makima will photograph and cautiously sniff?]

[strangerpeople]

[The tubes smell like there's something sweet in them. There is pink gunk on the insides of them on closer inspection.]

[yesorwoof]

[Nearly empty...

Fingerprints on the "right" sword?]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[Smudges.


All but one, that is.]

[yesorwoof]

[???

They're smudged in blood? Or just a normal smudge on the surface?

Does that mean it looks like there are smudged fingerprints with one digit missing? Small hands like Akane or big hands like a lot of men would have? Taking extremely careful picture of this because Kira needs to see this but taking it out will compromise it a lot... Might not show up in the light either... She's trying]

[strangerpeople]

[It's the latter.

It looks like all but one of the fingerprints are smudged, and it's definitely not a small hand.]

[yesorwoof]

[Which digit is missing? This doesn't look like it was gloves, does it?]

[strangerpeople]

[It's a bit impossible to tell why all but one of the fingerprints are smudged.

It's the thumb that's not smudged.]

[valkavian]

[ She's got no idea why the fuck Kaito's blood is pink, and frankly she doesn't like it. But she's gonna lick the normal blood.

How's it taste? ]

[strangerpeople]

[Like...blood. Which is good. Right? It's clearly blood.]

[valkavian]

[ gotta ask

Human or something else? ]

[strangerpeople]

[Human.]

[valkavian]

Alright, alright, I think we're getting somewhere.

[ Anything about the overall health or habits of the person here? ]

[strangerpeople]

[Nothing that stands out, sorry!]
