Third Investigation

[airlockedmods]

[The incentive this week was a pretty intense one. But spirits seemed high at yesterday's party - even Blaze Dudely participated, albeit in a weird, oblique and pretty Mozu-centric way. Maybe this Friday will be different from the last two?

Everything seems quiet, at least.]

Comments

[empathiser]

[Noted.

Then let's get started on the body. Didn't expect he'd end up examining the body of the guy who usually examines the bodies.

That large wound around his stomach, is there anything notable about it other that the size of it?]

[airlockedmods]

[It's a very large, painful-looking bruise.]

[empathiser]

[That's... some really impressive blunt force trauma there.

How about the odd wounds on his legs?]

[airlockedmods]

[Judging by the angle they're bent at his legs are broken.]

[empathiser]

[Ouch.

Not to sound morbid but we're gonna sound morbid: can Will get a closer look? Do they look like clean breaks or messier?]

[airlockedmods]

[Uh...messier, definitely. They look like they were crushed.]

[empathiser]

[Y i k e s.

What about that other wound, around his neck?]

[airlockedmods]

[It's a fatal-looking stab wound to the back of Rideaux's neck.]

[empathiser]

[Is it a neat wound? Would it match a wound made by a knife?]

[airlockedmods]

[Yes.]

[empathiser]

[Now that the wounds are investigated, is there anything else he should be looking at on or around the body?]

[airlockedmods]

[Since he's investigation around his head Will might notice some black discoloration on the right side of his scalp, extending just below his hairline. Strange that.]

[empathiser]

[Huh. Taking a closer look at that - is it more bruising? Some kind of debris stuck to his scalp?]

[airlockedmods]

[No, it just looks like a bit of skin discoloration. It might be more of note that there are flecks of blood around his mouth, like he coughed or spat blood before he died.]

[empathiser]

[Anything else of interest around the body, or is he good to do his empathy shenanigans and high tail it out of dodge the cell to check on Mozu?]

[airlockedmods]

[Maybe check his hands? There could be signs of a struggle there.]

[empathiser]

[Gosh, what's he going to find around the hands...!]

[airlockedmods]

[There's a bite mark on his hand.]

[empathiser]

[Is there anything notable about it? Like tooth shape, or size visible in the mark?]

[airlockedmods]

[They're human-shaped and deep enough to leave a mark but nothing else too notable.

Ready to empathize up in this shit?]

[empathiser]

[Lay it on him, mods.]

[airlockedmods]

[There's a muted sense of resignation that permeates the cell... also anger. Lots of anger. But there's a good chance that's from Rideaux judging by how pissed off his corpse looks.]

[empathiser]

[What is it with these bodies and resignation?

Well. RIP Rideaux.]
