THE FIRST INVESTIGATION

[Good morning, Titled.

Well, it's mostly a good morning. Those who are waking up in their bedrooms wake up to another boring morning. At least as boring as this place can allow, but even so, everything seems perfectly fine in that wing. Perfectly normal.

However, that feeling of normalcy might not stick around for too long. Especially as people start approaching the stairs going down to the food court...]

[So the part of the wire Ursula tripped over was the other end? Are there any signs that the wire is actually carrying a current right now?]

[Not presently, though if Kurama examines the part around Wake's neck, it is a little wet from when Wake's head was dumped in.

Speaking of, the body is currently safe to examine. No dying from touching him now.]

[Wire is not fun to mess with even without current so he is still going to wait for Akechi on that. But the wound diagram did show something on his knees... Kurama is going to check those injuries out.]

[The clothing around his knees are also pretty damp, when Kurama starts prodding that area.]

[And this is when Akechi gets back, wire cutters in hand.]

I see you located the source of the current while I was elsewhere.

Yes. There's a radio in the tank that was plugged into the wall. I unplugged it, so hopefully everything is safe now. We should be careful nonetheless.

[Kurama will take a picture of the damp fabric before trying to roll up the pants legs so he can see the knees.]

[It is with a little bit of difficulty that this is done, but when the pants are rolled up, it's clear that the knees are considerably bruised, along with wet.

There is also...one other thing Kurama might realize upon looking at Wake's lower body as well...]

[Well, while Kurama's doing that, Akechi will work on removing the wire from around Wake's neck. Assuming the injury there is just the expected electrical burns, he'll move on to take a look at the cuffed wrist. How tight are those cuffs, anyway?]

[It'll take some doing, but yes, the injuries on Wake's neck are primarily electric burns.

Meanwhile, the one cuffed hand is pretty tightly cuffed.]

[So a photo of the electrical burns, then more closely examining the wrist. Do the injuries look like they're from pulling at the cuffs?]

[No.

In fact, it's the wrong wrist.]

[Well THAT'S interesting. He'll be taking a look at the other arm, then. What does the wrist injury look like?]

[Before he can get a good look, he will have to undo the very wet, and stripped wire on that wrist first.]

[...Just. Giving it a flat look before he checks. Is it the same wire he just cut?]

[It is not. In fact, it's a different wire entirely.]

[Okay, photo taken. Would cutting the wire happen to reveal more electrical burns?]

[Yes. Very pronounced burns, at that. In fact, there's a smell coming from them.]

[A smell of charred flesh, presumably? Are these burns significantly worse than the ones around his neck?]

[Yes to both questions, actually.]

[Would that something possibly be that he has no shoes?

Kurama, after all, is a pure and innocent high school boy that wouldn't be thinking of anything else.]

[Indeed, he has no shoes. All that's left are his feet.]

[That's interesting. All of this is pretty strange, though. Kurama is going to leave the body to Akechi for a moment and leave the kitchen to check the restaurant area for anything they might have missed.]

[Nothing else in the restaurant area, thankfully. It appears that whatever else may be found, will be found around the body.]

Edited 2017-12-01 21:45 (UTC)

[Alright, that's good. He just wanted to make sure. Kurama will return to the kitchen, then, and actually do a similar sweep of the room, checking around the rest of it since they've been pretty focused on the tank and the body.]

[Nothing else is, thankfully, out of place in the kitchen, either.]
