Second Investigation

[airlockedmods]

[This week should have been quiet enough. There was no motive, after all, and all anybody had to do was go to their group therapy session. But the dwindling food supplies have left things tense, and the screaming robotic animals haven't helped much either, have they?

There's no blood outside the cells today. But there is a strong and rather unpleasant smell lingering in the air...]

You could have just moved the body to see if any blood dripped out.

[Wow.]

[airlockedmods]

[Oh, no! Nothing has been touched as in nothing else has been disturbed or messed with; the blood bags are where they've always been and in their normal condition.

The medicine also looks normal.]

[airlockedmods]

[Nope, it's pretty much the entire blade.]

[airlockedmods]

[Sure does!]

[airlockedmods]

[Where is the blood?]

[empathiser]

[What larks.

Okay, so just gonna keep hold of that piece of fabric. Is there anything else in the incinerator?]

[goldrighthand]

[JFC. Akande then looks towards the others, holding up the weapon very calmly.]

If she had any left, it would have been on this. She's been completely drained.

[Beat]

There are two wounds on her neck. Puncture.

[tenimuho]

[So the blood bags are fine, there's just also a blood bucket for some reason. Got it.

Now that that's taken care of, Oda guesses he should look at the body now - specifically the chest wound. How precise of a stab is it? Is there only a single wound there? Basically, does it look like the person who stabbed her knew what they were doing?]

[ebonyknight]

Considering the hag just got announced as well, I think it's obvious what happened.

[goldrighthand]

To Erika, perhaps. What have the rest of you found?

[He'll do a final check of the body to see if he's missed anything. Burns, check. Punctures, check. Lack of blood, check. No defensive wounds, check...]

[tokencanadian]

There's... none? At all?

[Well what do you know? That's even worse]

...Kiss-shot got announced as well. And she said vampires drink blood to survive.

[ebonyknight]

Knives.

[goldrighthand]

As I said, if there was any, it would have been on this. [He sets the knife down by him as he does his final check] And if she was responsible, someone might have seen it and decided to take matters in to their own hands.

[airlockedmods]

[Nothing.]

[airlockedmods]

[It looks like she's been stabbed right in the heart.]

[airlockedmods]

[It doesn't look like one clean chop, that's for sure. Someone had to work at this.]

[airlockedmods]

[Looks like there's a mop here - probably not with a lazersword inside - but no bucket to go with it.]

AREA CLEAR

[airlockedmods]

[tokencanadian]

The blood must be somewhere then. It can't just... [Mmmmuuugh that's a thought she doesn't want to think about. She shakes her head.]

It's... likely that there was a third person here, at least. Kiss-shot wouldn't have killed herself.

[Maybe. She doesn't get vampires.]

[tenimuho]

[That's pretty precise. Especially compared to how messy the neck wound is.

He's expecting the answer to be yes, but does it look like the same size wound that would be created by the bloody knife that was on the floor?]

[airlockedmods]

[Near a small splatter of blood, Erika's stupid pirate hat is lying on the ground. If this were anybody else, it could be a bittersweet keepsake. As things stand, at least it's a piece of evidence.]

AREA CLEAR

[airlockedmods]

[airlockedmods]

[You got all three evidence bullets!]

AREA CLEAR

[airlockedmods]

[chides]

[ well then.
