Sixth.

Friday morning dawns in much the same way it usually does in this place: with klaxons blaring and a sense of unease settling over the Vault. As much as people put their best efforts toward trying to discourage anything from happening on Thursday nights with parties and get-togethers, Fridays really don't have a good track record around here.

But initially, things actually seem rather quiet; the first and second floors are remarkably free of blood and corpses today.

Unfortunately, the third floor might not have fared so well.

[Cherryblod hears the body announcement, sees the people gathering in the music room, and decides he just is not up for staring at the dead body of one of his friends today. Investigating is easier for him emotionally.

He'll start from the top and work his way down. It's a method. If he does this methodically it doesn't hurt as much.

So, upon entering the workshop, is anything immediately out of place?]

[Yes, but it doesn't look like a fight took place here. It seems like someone went through here... but there are some strange out of place items too.]

[He's been in the workshop enough to notice what doesn't belong. So what's new?]

[Vending machine items...? Yep, there are definitely some vending machine items around. Specifically: a vibrator, a tuning fork, and a broken ukulele. There's also blood on them. So that might be important.]

[Why would you even get blood on a vibrator unless you're using it very wrong.

He hates that that's his first thought, but humor is a defense mechanism, so he hears.

What way is the ukulele broken? 'Oops I rocked out too hard and snapped some strings' or 'oops I smashed this over someone's head and the neck snapped'?]

[Looks like this thing took some serious body damage - it's closer to the latter than the former.]

[Okay. That's good to know.

Looking over at the woodworking tool selection - you can look at the vibrator if you want, Yosuke - is anything missing?]

[Most of it seems to be here, though you'll notice that they're scattered around and they're also bloody.]

Holy crap... what were they DOING in here?

[No dad he doesn't wanna look at the vibe]

[Not into blood, son?]

I have no idea. It doesn't look messed up enough for a fight, but all this blood...

[Urp]

I-it's pretty gross...

Not desensitized to it yet.

[It's not really a question.]

Guess not...

Sorry. It takes a while longer than this.

[He could probably wade through it and be fine.]

[Alright, so there wasn't a fight in here probably, just a lot of scattered bloody stuff. Great. Lovely.

Are anybody's personal projects missing or damaged? Like, say, Sigrun's box Mettaton? She's going to be so pissed if that was damaged.]

[Nope, those are all fine.]

[One less reason for Sigrun to snap. Good.

Aside from the blood on the tools and vending machine items, is there any on the floor?]

[There's not any extra blood, just blood on the vending machine items and the larger tools that could be used as weapons - hammers, wrenches, those sorts of things.

You might want to check out the blood on some of them though. There's something weird about it.]

[Cherryblod has seen some blood in his day, so he'll do that.

What's weird about it?]

[There's no pattern to it. If you're familiar with how blunt objects smacking people in the heads work and the blood patterns they leave behind, you'll note that this doesn't match up.]

[While Cherry is looking at the ukulele Yosuke goes for the tuning fork]

[It (and the other vending machine items) have blood on them but otherwise there's not much to note here.]

[Okay good, he was worried that someone might have stabbed her with it]

[She had just been helping him look for clues. Had showed him how to crochet. Yosuke is a little numb as he wanders around looking for clues, eventually ending in the workshop]

Cherry... [He's here to help]

Edited 2016-04-08 18:27 (UTC)

...I'll mourn when the culprit is caught.

[But he appreciates Yosuke's presence a lot, and it's shown by the way he briefly grips Yosuke's shoulder.]
