Sixth.

[trustharder]

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. >Explore?

[Stan hasn't been finding many clues on these things, so he just heads back downstairs to get ready for the trial. His room is one of the first, so he doesn't really have any business going down near Aqua's...but he remembers Megumi. Maybe there's something in there?

Or hell, maybe an old con just has a sixth sense for unlocked doors. He goes to test hers, jiggling the handle.]

[trustharder]

[You'll notice immediately that the door isn't closed properly so you can get in!]

[goodforsomething]

[Awesome!

...sort of.

Okay, he's not actually planning to steal her things so it's not actually that awesome. He still can't help that spark of curiosity. Is there anything immediately amiss upon entering?]

[trustharder]

[Her room isn't wrecked or anything, but everything seems to have been moved around.]

[goodforsomething]

[Everything? That's a lot of things!

Luckily there's only so many furnishings in these bedrooms to begin with. Let's start with the trunk - are her belongings still in there?]

[trustharder]

[It doesn't look much different than the rest of the room, honestly. Try somewhere else?]

[goodforsomething]

[How about the bed? Does it appear slept in?]

[trustharder]

[Nope, but more importantly Aqua's Wayfinder is on the bed and it's not in very good condition anymore.]

[goodforsomething]

[Awww, her poor star thing! Stan knows she liked those star things. Is it in pieces?]

[trustharder]

[You bet it is. The string it's usually on has been roughly broken and the Wayfinder itself is smashed. The second casualty of this case, RIP.]

[goodforsomething]

[Weeeeeeeelp.

Does it look like it was thrown on the bed, or deliberately laid out there? Like, are all the pieces generally together or dispersed?]

[trustharder]

[It's difficult to tell. There's nothing else to find on the bed, so moving on?]

[goodforsomething]

[Stan removes his pocket square and carefully slides the pieces of the Wayfinder into it, before folding it up and putting it back. He'll see about fixing it later; she'd like it to be on the memorial, he thinks.

And now we move on. What's the state of the closet?]

[trustharder]

[Slightly open, actually.]

[goodforsomething]

[Old man gonna go through dead girl's clothes, let's gooooo open that door!]

[trustharder]

[Looks like someone's been in here; it's been gone through and things have been moved around.]

[goodforsomething]

[Obviously this is Stan's cue to start going through things as well. It's not like he knows what Aqua's closet is meant to look like to begin with, but is anything glaringly out of place?]

[trustharder]

[The bloody clothes Mouri found are the only thing left and there's one more thing to find on them.]

[goodforsomething]

[Well, is there anything in the pockets?

...do her normal clothes have pockets?]

[trustharder]

[That... is a very good question and one I don't know the answer to!

But more important are the bloodstains.]

[goodforsomething]

[Okay, where are they concentrated? Is there a noticeable pattern?]

[trustharder]

[Not at all, actually.

Congrats guys, you're all done here unless you have other questions!]

[goodforsomething]

[SO MANY QUESTIONS

but we'll save that for tomorrow fare thee well]

[trustharder]

[GOOD LUCK, YOU'LL PROBABLY NEED IT]
