RECORDING 11: THE FOURTH MURDER.

[foundationmods]

A fourth week, and this is now definitely routine. Waking on friday, with the knowledge deep down that your number has yet again decreased.

You must still pull yourself from your bed, and discover who is now forever gone.

...But, wait.

What's that smell...?

((OOC: 2 people max under a heading, please! Just to keep things easy on the mods. You can switch out with someone else during an investigation if needed.))

[golden_dream]

[She turns and give him a little nod, though she reaches for her notepad and scratches it with her nails to get him to wait.]

...

[She writes:

"No footprints. The murderer may still be inside the room."]

[ghostricked]

[He can't read the message but he can smell her worry- understandable with all this gore]

... in the room? I can check as a ghost if you want?

[He's thinking more the body might be leaking out under the door more than the killer still being there, but still]

[golden_dream]

[Oh, right. She forgot.]

...

[She shrugs?? "As a ghost"?? Was the cat dead the whole time? Well, she'll think about it later.

She... gently opens the doorknob, enough to push the door open.]

[foundationmods]

[Well, as Rosa gets closer, she will see that There is a lot of blood on the door - but also, that the doorknob has a bloody handprint on it.

It looks like it's from a left hand.]

[golden_dream]

[She'll freeze before touching it, then!]

...

[She'll hold her arms out, offering to pick up Sissel so he can get a better look?]

[ghostricked]

Oh! Thank you.

[Once he's up he will observe the print. How are we looking on size?]

[foundationmods]

[It looks like the handprint of an adult male.]

[ghostricked]

[And does it look like it was gripped in the usual way- curled thumb etc, or more like it was slapped while say, bleeding out on the floor?]

[foundationmods]

[gripped in the usual way.]

[ghostricked]

[Good to know. Anything else of note with the door/door frame while he's up here at people height?]

[foundationmods]

[Nope!]

[ghostricked]

Okay Rosa, I think I'm good!

[Once he's back on the ground time to examine the blood. Does it seem like a huge pool or like a splatter?]

[golden_dream]

[She sets him down.

Once he's down... she'll take out her notepad and mime setting her hand on it? Then she'll elaborate by making as if she were to touch the blood, then touch the paper.]

[ghostricked]

Oh, it's... I'd say a man's hand. Definitely bigger than yours.

[golden_dream]

[shakes her head, mimes pressing the paper to the handle]

[ghostricked]

...oh! If it's wet enough it can't hurt to try!

[foundationmods]

[Unfortunately, it's mostly dry.]

[ghostricked]

[Oh speaking of the print though- were there any scars or 'voids' in the mark? Something easier to compare than actual prints. We have a lot of fighters after all.]

[foundationmods]

[No, actually.

While sissel is looking around, He'll also notice the bloody drag marks leading out towards the east hallway, along with the glint of something just out towards the armory.]

[ghostricked]

[Shiny! He trots over to check it out]

[foundationmods]

[He'll find a pair of glasses - Ango's glasses. The lenses are cracked.]

[ghostricked]

Ah... So they fell off here...

[Anything else over here?]

[golden_dream]

[Rosa will just go ahead and, gingerly, turn the doorknob and push open the door of room 2 while she's at it.]

[foundationmods]

[It opens, and there's no murderer or killer lurking inside the room. Just sleepy people.]

[golden_dream]

...

[She'll hedge her bets by giving it a glance over and trying to draw what the hand print pattern looks like...

...Rosa's so very much not an artist, though, so it comes off looking like a fish flipper with squiggly lines.

She'll try to bring another paper to press against it and get a hand print after.]
