First Investigation

[airlockedmods]

[On Friday, C.E.C.E.'s morning announcement goes out as usual. But people coming out of their rooms to begin their day may notice a faint thumping sound coming from down the hall.

Investigate?]

Comments

[karappo]

...eh? What in the world...?

[Karamatsu leans in a bit closer, taking off his shades and hooking them on his collar. Okay so...he's not going to touch said purple stuff, so let's see if he can tell what it might be without...you know, touching it?

Does it have the consistency of paint or blood? Because we know someone with purple blood, and somebody just got made an example of over it.]

[airlockedmods]

[It's hard to tell exactly what's going on here. There's a smaller set of footprints facing the door and backing up a few steps, and a larger pair of prints approaching. No, you can't get an exact measurement.

There's also some partial handprints on the ground nearby.]

[airlockedmods]

[It's not paint, and it doesn't seem to be exactly like any blood you've previously touched.]

[challengesfate]

[Alright - quick question about those lacerations. Is there any way to tell what kind of item might have made them? A blade, or a generally sharp object?

Once we've determined that, Lucina moves on to the stomach wound to take a closer look.]

[photoshooter]

I-it's--it's one of us, isn't it? Someone... someone actually...

[Three. That's three girls dead, now, all of whom were full of life just a few days ago, and all because--]

Someone actually believed that v-video. Right?

[le_mat]

I'll get one out of them.

[airlockedmods]

[It's mostly on the blade!]

[le_mat]

... Yeah.

[immaculacies]

[Hm, so... Maybe she was already injured and then backed in here...

Anything interesting about the handprints to go with that information?]

[airlockedmods]

[It's a note! It reads:

Will you come meet me in my room later tonight? I want to ask you about earning respect.

It's signed by Chitose.]

AREA CLEAR

[airlockedmods]

[batfortheprincess]

[Does he actually want to touch this uhhhhh

Does it. Does it have a smell.]

[airlockedmods]

[Not really, no.]

[airlockedmods]

[It's not a great smell, but it's also not familiar.]

[andjerry]

[He doesn't even have to count to see what's wrong, and he's paler as he looks in the sink and even inside the refrigerator, popping doors and leaving them open. ]

...l don't want to assume, but... I think we might have our murder weapon.

[What kind would be missing, specifically? I realize we have an area clear but it's relevant to him]

[le_mat]

[he wishes it was this simple. He does. Confession is good for the soul. But whoever did it has gone too far to confess now, and Joker can't reach their heart.

So Akira just... Shakes his head]

[karappo]

[THAT IS....very weird. Karamatsu decides to stop being a weenie then and carefully lifts the shovel in both hands by its handle, careful not to touch the sharp metal edge.

He'll stand with the shovel in hand and check that purple stuff again once he's surveyed the rest of the cafeteria, his eyes roaming the floor, walls, and tables nearby. Is there anything else of note going on in here?]

[immaculacies]

[Anything else noteworthy about the blood spatter/smearing, or is it time to TOUCH THAT CORPSE?]

[airlockedmods]

[The wall behind Miki's body is similarly scraped up. And also spattered with blood. You probably didn't want that kind of evidence, did you?]

[photoshooter]

[That makes sense. Gulping, Prompto picks it up gingerly by that mostly-clean handle, then.]

I-I guess they used this...

[Anything else of note around here?]

[playthedamncard]

[While Manaka looks at the smear-prints, how about Chitose? Does it seems like she has anything on her, something on her clothes, something she'd holding on to, in her hair?]

[airlockedmods]

[It was clearly something quite sharp, but it doesn't seem to have the kind of evenness you'd associate with a blade.

The stomach wound is similar, except that whatever it was went clean through Miki's body and (presumably) out the other side. Definitely a killing blow.]

[andjerry]

...no. [he barely knew her, thought she was shy of him - a lot of people are, he knows he's kind of strange - but he can't picture this girl who seemed like she could survive so well all cut and bloodied and dying. Chloe's death was almost clean, this one? No.] She doesn't deserve that. You didn't deserve to see it. I'm sorry.

[quadjumps]

[ NO HE DID NOT.

UH. OKAY. shit. moving away from that immediately. anything else to see? ]

[titularly]

Tch.. whoever believed that dumb video is a total dumbass.

[Osomatsu takes a seat on the unmade bed, and uncrumples the note to look it over.]

"Will you come meet me in my room later tonight? I want to ask you about earning respect." Signed..... hey.

[He looks over at Prompto, looking a little worried.]

This note was signed by Chitose-chan... she sent this to someone and they took it as a chance to kill her!
