WEEK 4 INVESTIGATION

Four weeks.

By now, waking up to death on Friday was becoming normal.

Gazing at something that should not have occurred...a death of one of them.
A death done by one of them....which could have been done by anyone.
Even by someone who would seem to have no reason to kill...🗈

Such a thing...was draining.
No, it was more than that - it was preying upon their very souls...
But they had no choice.

No matter how they felt, they had to search, to find the body and find the clues that would bring them to the killer themselves in tomorrow's trial.

...What kind of horror will they find today?

What kind of death did one of their number face?

And what sort of horrible, heart-rending truth....will be the end result, at the end of this week...?

[After seeing who was dead and some of the chaos surrounding it, Takumi goes outside. Aiming for the gardening shed to see if that's where paint might have come from, but investigating in general too. He'll do a loop of the windows, though it's pretty clear the murder happened in the library. Better safe than sorry.

He has his digivice on and recording as well]

Let me know if you see anything I don't, got it?

[In the garden shed, the ladder inside looks as if it's been moved.]

Bingo. Alright kiddo, keep an eye out for any marks or anything like that.

[He's going to examine said ladder more closely. He's guessing this was used to set up the falling paint]

That paint was still fresh... must have falling pretty close to when we all woke up.

[It's a 15 foot ladder, which is around the same height as the library ceiling.]

Hmmm...

[Any dirt, paint or smudges on it?]

[There are a few splatters of fresh red paint on it.]

[Joey, having been looking in the garden while everyone else was corpse-touching, sees Takumi investigating the shed and joins him.]

Hey, what are we looking for?

Looks like someone made a paint trap. Might be worth checking people's hands.

Mine are clean.

[vinea when the hell did you even get here]

Oh! I was working on that last week, but I quit when I realized someone could just off me Thursday afternoon instead of invading my room. Clothes and hands check wpuld be good if it actually got--

[Oh Jesus]

H-hi, Vinea.

[Takumi startles too]

Jesus Lucemon Christ, don't do that!!

...hm. I suppose it would be more polite to walk, so you'll hear footsteps.

[She'll have to decide whether she's more interested in being polite or in not having to walk everywhere.]

So you're hoping to catch someone red-handed.

...

I mean, yeah?

That was bad even by my standards.

Red-handed, red-clothed, red shoed...maybe we should check to see if anyone burnt clothes in the furnace, too.

I can't really tell you whether that's worthwhile.

[BUT SHE BELIEVES IN YOU]

[Fresh enough to still be wet?]

[yes.]

Gives us a time frame at least.

[anything else missing or out of place? Rope maybe to make a trap with? Or gardening tools? Any other paint smears from the culprit touching things?]

[No, actually! Hm.]

Hmm... they were really careful. AIBA, snapshot the room and let's look outside some more.

[sniffsniff on the trial. Back outside to do a perimeter check. Man I miss having Ren's third eye ability right now]

[Perimeter check as in just the garden area, or...?]

[garden first, yeah. Then the whole mansion if needed]

[Nothing in the garden, and there's nothing wrong in the mansion area.]

[After his walk he comes back to the shed.

1) Is the paint a drip or a smear?

2) is there enough room in the shed to open the ladder?]

[It's....both? It looks like someone was painting something above them.

Also...no. no there is not. Do not open the ladder in the garden shed, takumi.]
