fourth victim

[airlockedmods]

[It's a new day, and everyone who was sabotaged finds themselves free of the sabotage - the electric locks on Jane's mittens, Lightning's skates, and Xander's spreader bar all come free. Xander will even find a familiar-looking outfit in his closet, almost as an apology for what he's had to endure over the last few days.

But there does appear to be something wet on the floor of the males' side of the first floor hallway...]

Paging Ricky!

[cyan_maid]

[And by different we're going to have to assume human-shaped, because that's as different as we've got around these parts. Alright...

Oh hey there's Ricky, better clue her in to what's up.]

Ricky? Hey, there's some footprints over here, and they're definitely not Shadow's.

[voltrounds]

[Oh good her player was starting to run out of ideas.]

They probably belong to whoever he was fighting, then. [Presented: one broken bottle, one scrp of unitard, both bloodied.]

and now PAGING MODS

[cyan_maid]

[Fighting? What evidence is - oh, yeah, that's definitely some evidence.]

Goodness gracious! You think he got into a bar fight?

[Out of curiosity, is there any label on or specific smell around the broken bottle that can tell us what exactly the contents were?

[airlockedmods]

[It's definitely alcohol. Probably strong, too, judging by the smell.]

[cyan_maid]

Ooph!

[PULLIN BACK FROM THAT SHIT]

Okay, so, that definitely came from in here...

[voltrounds]

Whoever was using it probably wasn't expecting a fight, then. Normally if you were going to attack someone you'd bring a weapon with you instead of finding one there.

[cyan_maid]

That's true, but they certainly picked something good in a pinch. Broken liquor bottles are pretty common in bar fights in movies.

[voltrounds]

It's hard to say whether that means anything, though. It might have just been what was convenient.

[cyan_maid]

True - very true.

[Jane does another cursory look around. Are they missing anything?]

[airlockedmods]

[There's some broken colored pencils sitting out on the bar counter.]

[cyan_maid]

[!!

Gravitating towards those! What color are they? How are they broken - like somebody snapped them on purpose or were they stepped on or did the tips just fall out? Also, is there any sign of what the pencils might have been used for, whether it be drawing or writing or something awful and messed up?]
