INVESTIGATION III

[lesmodsalouette]

Investigation

CLANG, CLANG, CLANGCLANGCLANG.

Your early morning begins with the infernal but familiar chime of dozens of grandfather clocks crying out in unison. Or does it? Let's rewind a little!

For those of you on the first floor of the castle the morning may begin just a few seconds earlier and it may sound more like BOOM!! - and who doesn't enjoy the ominous rumble of an explosion as their wake-up call? At least nothing seems to be immediately on fire this time.

Whether it is the boom or the clocks that wake you, you'll find that it is just past 5am and another Friday is upon you. While this may fill you with a sense of trepidation, you might still enjoy taking a quick look out the window. Every single flowering plant in the garden is in full bloom today, despite not even getting to the point of budding during the rest of the week. You don't remember spotting cherry trees out there before, but there they are. There's plum and apple, too, seemingly new saplings you don't remember from last night crowding the palace windows. You can only hope that this is a good omen for all things to come.

(( OOC: Comment to this entry with where your character is going in the morning. A mod response will let you know if there’s anything to be found there! The Investigation is a free-for-all until all bodies have been found.

Once the victim(s) have been identified, there will be an IC announcement, and mods will provide Investigation sub-headers for the relevant locations. Up to 3 characters are welcome to investigate under each header unless indicated otherwise. ))

[The stumps are not clean cuts, they all seem to be severed at different points of the limb, and the severed sites are torn and ragged. She can probably make out the edges of what look like bite marks here and there, especially on what's left of the legs.]

[simulacres]

[ ……………

okay she is not going to hyperventilate she will not hyperventilate she is fine she is fine she’s fine.

she looks at the rest of the torso. are there any bite marks or any stab wounds that she can see? ]

[lesmodsalouette]

[She can probably spot some other places where the cloth is torn in suspiciously triangular-shaped slices and rips, and where the clothes are completely torn away there's more bite marks.

It would probably be pretty hard to find a stab wound in this mess, so that search is inconclusive.]

[simulacres]

[ with naru’s blessing, she is going to go ahead and start removings the clothes on his torso to get a better look. because all she has to go on is stuff that she has seen on tv. ]

[lesmodsalouette]

[As Ayaka is removing Sabo's vest, she'll feel something weighing it down.]

[simulacres]

Huh…?

[ she’s going to look to the sides? is there something in a pocket? ]

[lesmodsalouette]

[Ayaka has unlocked: Pocket Check!

Ayaka has acquired:

• Several small scraps of paper with torn edges
• Small dagger (clean)]

[simulacres]

[ she breathes out a gasp as she sees the dagger, but she does her best to keep it clean by putting it away from the water and blood.

how are the scraps of paper? is there something written in them? a confession, perhaps? ]

[lesmodsalouette]

[The paper pieces are blank.]

[simulacres]

[ well, she’s going to keep them anyway. maybe there’s some hidden message or whatever.

is she free to evaporate until midnight. ]

[lesmodsalouette]

[Don't evaporate, Ayaka, you might find more blood in the atmosphere.

That's a joke, for legal mod reasons.]
