The Second Investigation

[airlockedmods]

[It's Friday again, and between last week and the memories that some of you have started to regain, you can probably guess what that might mean. Hostage motives are always upsetting for everyone, aren't they?

You should look around and make sure everything's in order.]

Comments

[misanthropicprinciple]

[Fuck you guys you can't make him investigate shit without his coffee first. Is Starbucks okay?]

[airlockedmods]

[Forget coffee, man - it sure looks like someone's lying on the floor in front of the fountain. You know, the one that's like right in front of Starbucks.]

[cyan_maid]

[...Yeah, might as well get up, right? Keep going and keep believing in the people they threatened you with, that's what Jane's doing.

We're going to try this again: leave the Armos kiosk and amble down the hall through the food court to the showers. Anything stand out along Jane's way?]

[airlockedmods]

[Nope!]

[tokencanadian]

[It's been a while. No signs that there's been any trouble yet, but as time went on Pyrrha couldn't fight this foreboding feeling. Probably for the best that she wakes up early.

She heads down to the food court to start her day.]

[airlockedmods]

[CAUSE I CANT FIGHT THIS FEELING ANYMORE
IVE FORGOTTEN WHAT I STARTED FIGHTING FOR]

[a10tionplz]

[Friday means he's not cuffed to Togami any more. So priority one? Get the hell out of Spares or the Spaceglasses Hut or wherever they ended up crashing and head for Flavortown to take an actual shower.]

[airlockedmods]

[Go shower, friend.]

[helladoptera]

[ Max Caulfield and her terrible parrot son are going to 1-Up because video games are better than murder. ]

[airlockedmods]

[This seems important.]

[daughterofthemark]

[Arianna leaves Bed Buddies to head for the The Reading Comet this morning, to get the next Yl'lb Ein DVD. Hunger is one thing, but an archive binge is an unstoppable force.]

[daughterofthemark]

[OR ACTUALLY I GUESS SHE STUMBLES OVER A BODY ON HER WAY THERE?!]

[airlockedmods]

[Big mood, but you probably won’t make it there.]

INVESTIGATION START

[kingshaming]

[Like last week, Xander's voice comes on over the PIPs. Unlike last time he sounds very strained. Like his teeth are grit or he's in pain.]

[airlockedmods]

Post Investigation

[kingshaming]

[Here comes your Overseer... Later then usual, actually. He's not wearing his glasses for once, though they are hanging from his breast pocket.

And it's soon clear why he sounded off in the announcement. Or can be guessed. He keeps rubbing at his head like he has a migraine]

FOUNTAIN

[airlockedmods]

[everylittlesecret]

[Drowning and bleeding out... Holy fuck.]

Guess the head went after death... [Fuck getting gloves this time. No time. Is the the cut from beheading clean or jagged?]

[misanthropicprinciple]

[WELP, HERE WE ARE. Assuming Nari's going to take care of the more detailed corpsework to be done, let's get a sense of the scene immediately around the body. Anything of note besides the body and the huge pool of blood? Water, perhaps? A weapon? The name of the killer in 12 point font, double-spaced?]

[a10tionplz]

NO no no no no no no no-

[Why does this keep happening? How is he always last on the scene like this, usually he's much better.]

[But here he is, slightly damp and tugging the allegedly formal coat he received back on.]

Where the hell's her head?

[Junpei and Nari are presumably corpse-touching, so anything besides the body here that stands out?]

[helladoptera]

[ ... she doesn't investigate anything in particular, per se, but Max'll be damned if she spends another week doing nothing, so once people are Away she runs to Universe to grab a digital camera and just... starts taking pictures of things. Just to get it down here that that's the kind of day Max Caulfield has decided to have. ]

[daughterofthemark]

[Arianna's around here too, but she's not really actively investigating, she's just kind of directing traffic. Champion of POLICE LINE DO NOT CROSS.]

STARBUCKS

[airlockedmods]

[induality]

[She's avoiding the fountain itself, so-- what's going on in here?]

ARMIGOD

[airlockedmods]

[motherfucking_ghost]

[OKAY GOOD THIS IS FINE THIS IS OKAY THIS IS GREAT he's not gonna have a breakdown or anything it's cool cool cool cool cool

So. Time to look in here! A lot of weapons got taken lately, but anything conspicuous gone?]
