Third.

[trustharder]

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?

[ABSOLUTELY!!!

Listen, she heard the alarm, but she's been just checking out the music room and tapping on the piano to see if there's anything stuck in the noisepress anyway.

So yes. Still in here. Being surprisingly useless this week.]

[sleepingkogoro]

[It's unmistakable. So much for suicide.

Mouri supposes he's done with the body, but he has a new objective:

Is there any blood in the Art Room? He did notice it seemed there was a fight, but is there any blood spilled anywhere?]

[amygdalae]

[Bruising? Alright, let's take a closer look.

Bruce shifts close enough so that he can use a hand and gently push her hair back for him to examine the bruising closer. Exactly how bad of a bruising are we talking about here? ...and is the bruising consistent with it being before or after death?]

[wokeupdead]

[Huh... So it's just the furniture? No paints knocked over or blood splatters anywhere? Is there any indication that Mion was dragged through the room?

That definitely seems strange considering this girl got cut on a major artery.]

[trustharder]

[There are discolored areas in places of the room - nothing so blatant as a legitimate pool of blood, but there are traces of something dark on the floor here and there.

Want to go take a look at that?]

[isafraid]

[Two huh... what a terrible mess.

Are there any other noticeable blood stains on the cabinets?]

[trustharder]

[NAH YOU'RE GOOD investigations are difficult and sometimes your mod forgets to clarify what room we're in DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT...

But you're right! The key to Mion's room is missing; it's definitely not in here. You've found all there is to find here!]

AREA CLEAR

[trustharder]

[ignorantly]

...

...It's possible that somebody took her room key, isn't it?

[ And they seem to be missing a key. ]

[trustharder]

[Nope, those are the only two bloodstains in the room. Weird, huh?]

[sleepingkogoro]

[You bet! Let's take a good hard look to those discolored areas]

[penduli]

[ THANKS GUYS, I LOVE YOU BOTH.











also out of curiosity, are there any pairs of underwear visibly around in all this mess and if so, what color are they. HE'S NOT LOOKING FOR THEM SPECIFICALLY BUT IF HE HAPPENS TO SEE ONE, HE SEES ONE. ]

[trustharder]

[She took a pretty bad blow to the head, it looks like. Not enough that it looks like it actually killed her - her skull didn't crack and her skin's intact - but there was a good amount of force behind it.

Given the darkness of the bruising, though, it probably happened before she died.]

[prismbloom]

.... It is. There's few explanations why her room door would be open. I don't think she would have done that.

[trustharder]

[Well, Mouri's found some discoloration, looks like...]

[goingdigital]

[Oh good! We got a special delievery for you. Considering you're...well you are probably the absolute strongest one here, and Taichi really just doesn't feel like carrying a sword around. Let alone a bloody one.

And after the first week trial he's pretty sure you like sharp things. And blood. And bloody sharp things]

Yo, glad to see you are actually here! Mind if I ask a favor?

[trustharder]

[NO YOU TERRIBLE TEENAGERS ARE NOT FINDING ANY UNDERWEAR MION IS DEAD SHOW SOME RESPECT!!!]

[penduli]

[ THIS WASN'T FOR HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS WAS FOR THE GUY HE LIKES!!! STOP JUDGING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ]

[captainobnoxious]

[She loves bloody sharp things, and she sees that sword he's got. Sigrun's practically lightning up. It's been forever since she had a sword!!]

If it's got anything to do with that sword in your hand, lay it on me.

[trustharder]

[TOO LATE, I'M JUDGING FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!]

[trustharder]

[It looks like something was spilled on the floor at one point - the discoloration is consistent with something having been wiped up.]

[amygdalae]

[A very bad blow... most likely enough to render her unconscious. Which would explain why there wasn't a struggle at all. Or at least, that's the initial thought for now.

They can put it together down in that room later.]

...I'm sorry. [He says quietly to Mion's now lifeless body. It's... well, he had only talked with her not too long ago, and now...

God.

He withdraws from examining her head and continues to examine her body. Trying to check her hands now, this time - her wrists are clean, but what about her finger/nails/etc? Anything odd that he would find on them?]

[sleepingkogoro]

[Just in case, because this is the kind of thing that could potentially happen.

It can't have been something harmless like paint, right?]

[prismbloom]

[ go sit in the corner and think about what you've done ]

[trustharder]

[Definitely not paint.

If you look hard enough, you can probably find the edges of it; it wasn't wiped up entirely - want to go check that out for a second?]
