The Fourth Victim

[airlockedmods]

[Friday begins as every other day, with sunshine and birds singing and--

wait, no. There's no birds in space.

And you usually don't start your day with an explosion and a blood-chilling scream coming from the Starbucks.



>Investigate?]

Comments

[A non-functioning tablet, I'm assuming?

But okay, as for those two other things... first of all, what's the book?]

[airlockedmods]

[The piano lives!]

[airlockedmods]

[Well if it wasn't before now it sure the hell is-

I misspoke, there's actually a few books.

They're all about Robots and Explosives.

Ro-Bombs, if you will.]

[cyan_maid]

[Good because that's where Jane lives now unless there is something awful nearby it]

[airlockedmods]

[Nope! But it wouldn't be unreasonable to assume that it came from below.]

[airlockedmods]

[It's a little too small for that.

If she picks it up and smudges the ash off, she'll find it feels almost like a label.]

[airlockedmods]

[Well, judging by the layout and the chair next to it, it was probably the table Clarith was at when the explosion happened.]

[myocordial]

[Oh, well, is that all. That's cool. Great. Okay.

And the tools? Perhaps for bomb and/or robotics work? Robombtics work?]

[airlockedmods]

[Actually, underneath all that smoldering sadness, it looks like this one had a coat of paint.]

[everylittlesecret]

[..... well shit. Anything else missing from the bar?]

[airlockedmods]

[The tools are all scattered, but they're completely clean.]

[airlockedmods]

[Nope!]

AREA CLEAR

[airlockedmods]

[a10tionplz]

[Okay. Anything else notable about the body here, should he start flipping her over to check her back or what]

[airlockedmods]

[It's another dead bo- no you're clear]

[everylittlesecret]

[Well there will be because she's grabbing a couple bottles of rum. Which will be set aside for now. Looking around, is there anything else off?]

[burninglight]

Yurika? What's that?

[cyan_maid]

[her city now]

[motherfucking_ghost]

[...Are roombas painted on all sides, maybe uh underneath it it's not a burning smoldering husk--what color?]

[myocordial]

[...What, completely? And yet someone went and made a mess anyway. So they look totally unused?

This is weird.

Did he miss anything else or...]

[airlockedmods]

[Just one thing! Well, one new thing and then one more thing about the books. There's some sketches near the pieces.]

[myocordial]

[Oh, hello, mystery sketches, what are you of?]

[everylittlesecret]

[Hey you're being joined now. Sorry, Nari is a little covered in blood again. The usual on a Friday. And she's got rum.]

... So. PAL's here.

[airlockedmods]

[An explosive!

c:

It looks like it was drawn by someone who shouldn't quit their day job to take up art.]

[myocordial]

[Well, guess we're not putting that one up on the fridge, then.

Is it possible to tell what sort of explosive, exactly, ooooor should we just move back to the books again?]
