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...]

...I'm... gonna check that room that's on fire.

[because holy fucking shit. let's go to the incinerator room.]

[heartswapped]

[Good call, roomie.]

Alright. Just... let me know if something's up, okay?

[airlockedmods]

[There are smears of blood in the hallway of the second area. They seem to lead to the Room of Fire.]

[andneversaydie]

[...dawn dragon in a handbasket, why did she have to be right.

okay. you can do this, Mozu. You can... follow those blood smears to the Room of Fire.]

[tokencanadian]

Mozu, maybe...

[Should she have to see this...?]

[andneversaydie]

...look. It might... look. I'm gonna do it. I can't just back out of stuff all the time.

[tokencanadian]

.... Alright, just be careful.

cw: burnt body

[airlockedmods]

[The smell inside the room is horrendous, like burnt hair and roasted flesh. For obvious reasons: there is a body lying on the floor of the Room of Fire, near one of the open flames. It is not currently on fire, but the damage has been done; everything above the shoulders is charred, flesh blackened and peeling.

This could have made identification difficult, but you can always do a headcount. More importantly, what few strands of unburnt hair remains are long and blue.

Erika Furudo is dead.]

[canted]

[Well.

He can't say he's sorry.]

[MOZU


HOW THE FUCK DID NEITHER OF US NOTICE ERIKA WAS MISSING]

[andneversaydie]

[andneversaydie]

[OH GOD WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO HER OTHER ROOMMATE JESUS CHRIST]

Oh.

[heartswapped]

Sweet pea?

[She's just going to. Stand there.]

You need a moment?

[andneversaydie]

...

[NODS BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T WANT TO OPEN HER MOUTH...]

[chides]

[ well that's not something he's seen before, despite being a firebender. christ.

mako can't look at this for much longer. ]

[ebonyknight]

[Guess... she's... just going to block the view from the door again.]

Really now.

[goldrighthand]

Apparently.

[he moves to kneel by the corpse]

So much for her sleuthing.

[tokencanadian]

[WELL THIS ISNT GREAT

Pyrrha has never seen a person so badly burned, she has to look away after a moment and try to compose herself.]

[power_of_dominance]

[Soma lays a hand on her shoulder. He doesn't look sad, just grim. He didn't like Erika, but no one deserves this.]

No one will think less of you if you need to leave the room. Do you want help looking elsewhere for clues?

[goldrighthand]

[All aboard the investigation train CHOO CHOO]

[chides]

[ RIGHT BEHIND U TOUGH GUY ]

[heartswapped]

[Welp, after not hearing from Mozu in a while, she starts to worry...

Yeah, she'll come too.]

[ebonyknight]

[Okay maybe it wasn't a body in the oven so let's follow the train.]

[tokencanadian]

[C'mon, girl, let's check this out. it'll be Fun.]

[helladoptera]

[ Casually... taking some shots of those blood smears, oh boy, here we gO...]
