Fifth.

The klaxons blare out early on Friday morning, as always. Depending on how late you were out at the party last night, they might not be very welcome, but at least it seems the Kingmaker isn't having any difficulties with them today. The Vault's setup has always been a bit unfortunate on Fridays – the fact that the view from the dorms is a straight shot down the corridor tends to make it completely and immediately obvious when something is wrong. It isn't blood this time; there are no large crimson stains splashed around the hallway or leading outward from one of the rooms. What is there, however, is a person lying on the floor near the stairwell. That doesn't bode well, does it. >Explore?

[Sup Yosuke. Don't mind the... body...

Just let him show you this mysterious bottle.]

Looks like it was left in here.

[pokexplorer]

[Awesome. Now it's time to try to keep a cool head and put all of this information together. And as if one death wasn't concerning enough, there's an entire other scene going on upstairs that he still has to hear about. Ugh...

Thanks Mods!]

[captainobnoxious]

A fire liquid, maybe. It's like burny water? Maybe? But this water isn't burny. I checked.

[garudynamic]

Whoa, bleach?

[bleach alone would hurt in the eyes and make you sick if you drank it... but alone shouldn't have burned her like that, right? Not enough to kill her unless she was literally taking a bath in it.

So he takes the bottle and uses his free hand to waft scent up to see if it smells like just straight bleach was in there.

Look he dumps so much shit in his hair, he knows better then to just stick his face in there]

[pokexplorer]

[As Bruce is conducting his investigation of the body, Colress calls out from his own investigation further up ahead.]

Mr. Banner, this may sound strange, but...you haven't happened to spot any glitter nearby, have you?

[Some of the chemical bottles he's checking out are near the body, so he can't help but ask just to see...]

[garudynamic]

Burny water... like acid?!

[OH GROSS THANK YOU FOR NOT LETTING HIM SEE]

[captainobnoxious]

No, like if someone poured fire on your face.

[Duh???]

She didn't drink any of it though.

[garudynamic]

That's what I mean. Like, a chemical or something?

[amygdalae]

[He will take the assumption and run with it. That's the best he's got.

And that should be about it, hopefully, unless there's something else that has been missed.]

[amygdalae]

[??? What an odd thing to ask, but...]

--yes, actually. [He raises, uh, his glittered hand to prove it.] It was on his body.

[captainobnoxious]

[Yosuke..............

See this look?

This one.

She doesn't know.]

I don't... do chemicals?

[garudynamic]

...ugh. I guess I gotta... take a look.

[He might vom tho]

[isafraid]

...Yes?

[That is

what is says on the label.]

Does that mean something?

[captainobnoxious]

[If you vom please do it away from the body???]

[garudynamic]

[Here we come to investigate!

Yosuke has only had very mild chemical burns before so he doesn't have much experience in the difference between those and heat burns. But still, can't hurt to check!]

[trustharder]

[...There's one other detail that the mod blanked out on, because the mod is a tool like that - any blood that's present on the body is dried, as opposed to still wet or flowing.

Otherwise, that's it! o/ ]

AREA CLEAR

[amygdalae]

[YEAH I SHOULD HAVE... thought of that too, whoops.

But it's all cool, thanks mods!]

[garudynamic]

Bleach can be dangerous. I used really diluted stuff to lighten my hair. The straight stuff can blind you or make you REALLY sick. Even die.

[captainobnoxious]

[Ooooooooooooooh.]

I was wondering why your head didn't look like her face.

[trustharder]

[Yeah, it smells like just straight bleach.]

[garudynamic]

Oh good. I was worried they like, mixed it with something to make it even worse.

[Like... ammonia? Is that what you don't mix with bleach? He can't recall for sure]

[garudynamic]

...gross.

[trustharder]

[Hello! Well, Yosuke was right on one thing - those burns are definitely not enough to kill her. It didn't, like, eat her face or anything, and it didn't burn through her skin, it's just the general irritation and moderate burning that happens when corrosive materials get on your skin like that.]

[isafraid]

[...AH]

Then it's likely a good thing the bottles empty then...
