Third.

There's tension in the air come Friday morning; the time limit posed by the Kingmaker isn't quite up yet, but as the deadline draws closer, the more anxious several Survivors have been about it. The first floor seems largely fine today; at the very least, there are no signs of a scuffle or a body lying around. It might be good to make sure that the upper floors have fared so well. After all, Fridays haven't had the best track record around here. >Explore?

[ Huh, that's odd. He opens the door fully and steps inside. Anything immediately off here? ]

[garudynamic]

[It's bloody isn't it

Or AROUND a head]

[trustharder]

[Not much up here. The contents aren't disturbed and everything looks to be in order.]

[notjustawriter]

[Time to look at the cards, then.

Does it look like it was a one-person game like Solitaire, or does it look like it was two or more people playing a game together?]

[amygdalae]

It's fine.

[His response is brusque, almost too formal - like Bruce is trying to cut himself off from all emotion.]

Let everyone else know what happened. We'll get to the bottom of this.

[He has to.]

[trustharder]

[Nothing immediately off, nope. You're going to have to look a bit harder, it seems.]

[trustharder]

[Looking inside was the correct choice, because there's definitely something in there!

...Is that a sword???]

[trustharder]

[Primarily, the fact that it doesn't look like a drop hanging, despite the fact that the body was actively suspended off the ground. There isn't anything like a chair in the immediate vicinity that she could have stepped off of or kicked over, and while it's possible that she could have climbed the shelves, the placement of them would make that incredibly awkward and difficult for her to turn around and face the room, like she was found.

Basically, it wasn't suicide.]

[cherryblooded]

[Alright then.

Opening the boxes and checking against the sign-out sheet, does it seem like anything is missing?]

[isafraid]

[Alright. At least their Monopoly games are safe.

And what about the card tables?]

[trustharder]

[DING DING DING, YOU GUESSED CORRECTLY THERE'S A HEAD IN THERE--

no, just kidding again.

It is bloody, however. Sorry about that.]

AREA CLEAR

[trustharder]

[penduli]

[ ...That's weird.

Black'd come down to do two things: check for suicide notes and go to his own room to recuperate from seeing... y'know.

When Shirazu steps in, Black will too; he's small enough he can squeeze by. He's going to be specifically looking for notes of any kind :'|b ]

[trustharder]

[Was Mion a messy person? Because the room is a mess. It doesn't look like anyone was fighting in here, however.]

[garudynamic]

Gross!

[THROWS IT BACK IN AND RUBS HIS HANDS ON HIS THANKFULLY RED JUMPSUIT. And does a little 'ewewew' dance for a moment

How fresh of blood are we talking]

[trustharder]

[All of your searching will lead you to... nothing. There are no notes in here.]

[wokeupdead]

[Considering the kingmakers announcement that makes sense. She'll take note of that and move on to the rope since it looks like Detective Mouri and Bruce are checking the body.

Is there anything of note that makes the rope uses suspicious? Like is the knot weird? Where was it hanged? Blood splatter???]

[trustharder]

[It looks like some of her clothes are torn, actually - you want to check that out?]

[prismbloom]

[ What sort of mess are we talking about here--clothes, belongings, what? ]

[trustharder]

[There aren't any other restraints on her - she wasn't tied up for the hanging - but the noose itself is...odd.]

[trustharder]

[The sign-out sheet won't tell you anything, but you should be able to notice that there are less blankets than usual.]

[goingdigital]

[Nice.

Now let's do something stupid and reach into the incinerator and pull out this Excalibur.

And or fall into the machine.]

[trustharder]

[There are definitely two different hands of cards on the table. There's also something on top of them.]

[sleepingkogoro]

[Definitely! Checking that in more detail. Potential wounds!]

[trustharder]

[Gabriel's got that, but while you're looking around you might want to check the floor...]
