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?

Re: FIRST FLOOR STAIRWELL

[Time to investigate. Bruce can deal with the body, as usual, so Mouri will go upstairs and check if there's anything that could hint Tarrlok was pushed or tripped]

[trustharder]

[Well, there aren't any tripwires or any objects that could have been used for leverage, if that's the question.]

[sleepingkogoro]

[Yeah, that was the question.

Well this could be an accident. A person falling down the stairs...it could happen. Mouri returns to the body, going to check if Tarrlok had anything in his pockets or something. There could be something to indicate what he was doing some time before his death]

[trustharder]

[There's nothing too out of the ordinary in his pockets, but in doing that it's probably pretty noticeable that there's something weird about the body in and of itself, especially if you're walking down to take a look - namely, most people who fall down spiral staircases aren't neatly laid-out like this.

It doesn't look like he's been moved far, mind you, but he's definitely been moved. Kind of like everyone usually ends up moving the body a little on Fridays.

Odd, that.]

[sleepingkogoro]

Huh. For a moment I had thought...

[...thought this could be an accident. But now it doesn't seem likely. Where could the body have came from, then?

And that was the extent of Mouri's investigation]
