WEEK 2 - INVESTIGATION

[foundationmods]

INVESTIGATION

This time, the wakeup is familiar - yet not any less nerve-wracking. Though you have survived the night, the knowledge that the Mafia - the monsters - have killed is ringing loudly in your mind.

The hotel speakers crackle to life just like before, drawing your attention and startling you. Heart racing, you listen to the announcement...


??? GUESTS REMAIN.

GORE WARNING FOR THIS LOG.

[dereban]

Well, don't say I didn't warn you.

[ it's his fault if he asked for it.

but she flips her tablet and just. shows him. ]

[enter_the_darkness]

[ THAT IS QUITE A BIT....... but he manages to contain it to nothing more than his face muscles tensing in small places. ]

... So, something tried to eat him, but was either stopped or decided he wasn't very tasty.

[ What an awful way to put it, Vanitas. Jfc. ]

[dereban]

Yeah, it sure fucking looks like it.

But I don't know why they took the effort to hide all of this with a jacket, though.

[enter_the_darkness]

[ A blink... ]

So, he was put back together after he was killed?

[dereban]

Yeah.

The jacket hood was up and the jacket itself was closed when we found him.

[enter_the_darkness]

... Seems kind of pointless to do for the sake of hiding evidence, don't you think?

[ He gives a wry smirk. ]

If killing somebody on purpose, I'd think it'd make more sense to use your time hiding the body. [ looking to the side ] Meaning somebody either felt guilty or just couldn't handle the sight of what they'd done.

[ A sigh and a shrug. ]

Guess this fits with a lot of what you guys were saying, last trial.

[dereban]

Yeah.

[ Inaba finds herself responding rather quietly. ]

It wasn't his jacket either, so they had to get it from somewhere, or ask the staff. It still makes me wonder what the hell the monsters want by possessing people, if we're really right.

[enter_the_darkness]

[ There's a brief pause as he thinks. ]

There were things missing from the store. That's probably where they got it from.

[ He's passing the tablet back, brow tense. ]

Including boots.

[ Glancing towards the exit. ]

Boots that'll probably be gone by morning, unless you already stashed them somewhere.

[dereban]

Well, great.

[ ... ] You want to grab them? I was kind of distracted by the whole.

[ makes a vague gesture that says it all ] I'll come with just to make sure you don't fuck with the evidence.

[enter_the_darkness]

[ He shrugs. ]

Suit yourself.

[ Just going to grab his coat and start that way then. There's no surprise she suspects he'd do something as stupid as fucking with evidence - even some that's had pictures taken of it. He hasn't exactly bothered hiding the kind of guy he is. ]

[dereban]

[ Inaba's just going to nod quietly and follow, phone out and already recording, just in case. She's going to take a picture of the drag marks too since she missed those but make sure to keep a good bit of distance, but not enough that she can't wreck a person if she really has to. ]

[enter_the_darkness]

[ Well, fortunately, he doesn't try anything! He keeps the distance between them, quietly making his way over to the body.

... And he actually falters a tiny bit, coming to a stop as he just. Looks at it.

In spite of how he keeps his expression steady, his jawline tenses and for just a brief moment, he isn't breathing. ]
