Second Investigation

[airlockedmods]

[It has now officially been one full week since the first two murders on the station. As the Champions wake up this morning, they'll be pleased to note that nothing is immediately amiss as they leave their rooms. No banging sounds, no blood in the hall.

Still, it might not hurt to look around a little.]

Comments

[airlockedmods]

[Like, maybe knife-deep?

Oh, hey, I forgot to mention that Max is probably still sitting by the body. If you want to be really unholy, you could ask him for a second opinion or something!]

[in4apounding]

[Okay yeah, let's pretend she was too distraught to really pay attention to the other people who are around here.]

There's- someone stabbed him. This wasn't an accident.

[That's not really directed SPECIFICALLY at Max, but the room in general? Which he's part of.]

[And we're all probably going to hate this, but it's the kind of thing she'd notice, so- what's Prompto's expression like?]

[airlockedmods]

[IT'S NOT GREAT, PENNY. THE BOY FROZE TO DEATH.

also max apparently does not see fit to respond to that, so]

[in4apounding]

[THANKS MAX]

Did- was there a knife here, did someone find one?

[And while we're at it, what's the wrist on the wound diagram look like? Besides bad, presumably.]

[quadjumps]

[ right before he leaves, yuri catches that and holds the knife up from where he's standing. ]

I got it.

[in4apounding]

Can I-

[She looks between the body and Yuri for a second, before getting up and going over to Yuri to take a closer look at the knife, casting glances back towards Prompto's body the whole way.]

Can I see it?

[quadjumps]

[ a nod, and then he'll carefully hand it over. anything to solve this case, honestly. ]

[in4apounding]

Thank you.

[Okay, anything about the knife she might notice that didn't turn up in Yuri's investigation?]

[airlockedmods]

[Well, the blood is mostly just on the blade of the weapon. It reaches up most of the length of it, though.]

[in4apounding]

[This is not fine, but okay.]

Thank you, Yuri. ...Do you, um. You don't want to keep the knife for some reason, do you?

[Gotta maintain chain of evidence, or something.]

[quadjumps]

I do.

[ he appears to be adamant about this for some reason? ]

I'll bring it to the trial.

[in4apounding]

Okay.

[And handing it back over carefully.]

Prompto was- I can't believe someone would do this, after last week.

[quadjumps]

We'll find them.

[ he says it through gritted teeth and wraps the knife with his jacket. ]

We'll find them and they'll pay.

[in4apounding]

And Miss Luna-

[Luna, who was kind and gentle, and wanted to help patrol despite not being a fighter.]

...I'll kill them myself.

[I mean, unless there's some tragic twist to make this an accident or sympathetic somehow, but really, what are the odds of that?]

[airlockedmods]

[You can't tell yet - there's a length of bloody cloth bandage wrapped loosely around it, tucked into itself rather than tied.]

[in4apounding]

[You're really gonna make her do this.]

[You monsters.]

What's-

[Yeah, okay, unravelling the bandage. How's that go. This is the worst belated Halloween gift ever, by the way.]

tw: implied self-harm

[airlockedmods]

[There are a few lacerations to the back of his right wrist. The cuts and the blood mostly obscure the skin itself, but you can still tell that they're centered over some kind of tattoo, like a bar code.]

Re: tw: implied self-harm

[in4apounding]

[THIS IS FINE, EVERYTHING IS AWESOME]

Prompto, did you do this? Why-

[Presumably these lacerations don't look like they came from a knife, right.]

[airlockedmods]

[As a matter of fact, they do.]

[in4apounding]

[...Well shit.]

Oh, no...

[Anything else about the body worth noting before she goes to get upset about Luna?]

[airlockedmods]

[Please take Max with you when you go?]

[in4apounding]

[I mean she can try.]

Mister- Max? Are you okay?

[theundertaken]

He’s...

[He removed his hand from Prompto’s Head a while ago, but he’s still looking at him.]

...he always...looked so cold.

[in4apounding]

[Weight: Like holding a couple of grapes]

He was so nice to everyone.

[Well. Maybe not Oso.]

...He was telling me about his home, some of the animals there. He was going to show me, on his camera.

[voltrounds]

[Max's probably by the body and knows entirely too much about what's happening.]
