First Investigation

[airlockedmods]

[It's been five days since the Champions woke up in the space station, and three days since Bolton's first incentive. And this morning, like the day of the incentive, Bolton is not in the library for his morning office hours. Unlike the day of the incentive, there is no breakfast being served either. The space station is still open for the champions' exploration, but there's something eerie about the suspension of routine, like unfinished business hanging in the air.

The Art Room door is ajar. Maybe someone's channeling their inner art student and pulling an all-nighter...?]

ART ROOM

[airlockedmods]

[kingshaming]

[Xander is not messing with the body, but he IS giving anyone not investigating the body itself the stink eye and guarding the place so no one can disturb the poor girl.

Other then the body itself he does give the room a look over to see if anything stands out]

[airlockedmods]

[Well, there is a knife sticking out of the wall.]

[kingshaming]

[WELL, he goes to take a look- first to see if it has any blood on it and how deep in it is]

[airlockedmods]

[There is no blood on the knife. However, it's stuck in there quite deep, and angled upwards.]

[kingshaming]

[The walls in here are metal right? He goes to the art supplies and grabs a marker, marking where the depth is before trying to pull it out, and noting how hard or easy it is for a man his size and strength to do so]

[fatherofsin]

[ As soon as he hears the announcement, Seth sets his work aside in the library and books it to the art room. ]

Out of the way, I can actually act as a coroner.

[ So first of all, what are the knives like? Kitchen, art knives, what? And after that, is there anything immediately eye-catching to someone experienced with anatomy and just generally dead bodies might notice. ]

[stitch_in_time]

Yeah? Like hell I'm lettin' you do this alone.

[Gosh, why so brusque, Doctor.]

[He squats down next to the body near Seth.]

Ah, dammit Chitanda...

[She wanted to see the universe.]

[What's the general condition of the body, besides bloody as shit? Any marks besides the stab wounds?]

[airlockedmods]

[There are a whole lot of kitchen knives sticking out of Chitanda's body. Specifically, there are eight in her back and one in the front of her leg.]

[fatherofsin]

At least this way we won't miss anything, although why you don't trust me I never understood.

[ Okay, so. Kitchen knives. Going to remove those and note how deep they are and the angle. ...Actually, gonna go find a pen and paper to write this information down, as well as note where each knife is. ...Also he brought scissors. ]

...We're going to have to remove her clothing in a moment...

[ Anything else on her clothing, or can he cut it off? ]

[airlockedmods]

[The wounds are quite deep. Most of them, save for the leg wound, are also angled slightly upwards.

There's nothing on her clothes except a great deal of blood, and perhaps a little paint. Are you seriously going to strip the body?]

[stitch_in_time]

Because in the middle of an interdimensional kidnapping, you've been acting like a kid in a candy shop, a young girl is dead, and I've seen too many other scientists who didn't like limits on their experiments.

And your profile spells 'serpent' with an 'a', that's fishy as hell.

[stitch_in_time]

[That is entirely too many knives for a small teenaged girl. Any wounds that don't have a knife in them, or is this a one-to-one knife to wound ratio?]

[airlockedmods]

[Nope, all wounds have their associated knives present!]

[yukionna]

[ Rukia will....poke the body if need be because although it's Chitanda, she Does the Death Thing, but it looks like it's mostly covered.

Anything else for her to snoop at? ]

[airlockedmods]

[Near the body, there is a broken cup lying in a puddle of non-blood liquid. There's also what appears to be a poster.]

[yukionna]

[ Let's check out the cup first. Can she tell what sort of liquid it is? ]

[airlockedmods]

[Smells like green tea.]

[yukionna]

[ Huh. Any special kind of cup, or just a generic one from the kitchen? Did it look like it fell from the table? Gotta make sure.

Barring the cup being special, she'll check out the poster next. ]

[cyan_maid]

[Okay

Don't anybody even try to pull Jane out of the art room, she's investigating here, even if she can't

Even if she can't look at

We were talking, we were just talking, we were going to

...Let's look at this miserable excuse for an art room. What's out of place in here besides the dead body?]

[kingshaming]

[Xander doesn't stop her, since she is going straight to work. But he keeps his eye on her- both for purity of the crime scene and...

... well, it's an awful scene in general for anyone to see]

[cyan_maid]

[God, she's not going to fuck up the crime scene, mister princely butt.

Any looks her way that she meets will be returned with a very sharp, cold anger, though. No one is okay with this. Acknowledge that and find the party responsible and smack them the fuck around.]

[kingshaming]

[He keeps up the eye contact for a long moment, as if waiting to see if she'll break away first.

When she doesn't he nods, acknowledging her, and goes back to work- leaving her to do the same]

[cyan_maid]

[...An understanding, then. Jane's face softens, if only minutely.

Back to work. Besides that knife in the wall Xander's looking at, what else is amiss?]
