RECORDING 14: THE FIFTH MURDER.

[foundationmods]

A fifth 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.

The Miasma is choking, almost triumphant as you search the hallways -

looking for the ones that have had their lives cut short so cruelly...

((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.))

Body Re-examination

[eyeforai]

[So with both our doctors out of commission, we get budget autopsy ig?! Good thing he has x-ray for these moments.

So, what's he get when he x-rays Battler's body? Probably bullets, but are there any fractures or anything that might indicate anything else happened here?

Also, can he get a better estimate of the time of death, here?]

Body Annoucement

[notbymyside]

[Once the two bodies have been found, Ango floats around the living spaces, telling everyone the same thing:]

Giovanni Potage and Battler Ushiromiya are dead.

If you are already investigating, please continue to do so. If you are not, please wait here for everyone to finish their investigations.

A trial will commence tomorrow at noon. Be there.

1/2

[reanimania]

[ Just... stands there for a moment after hearing that. He feels a little bit guilty now about how he'd spoken to Battler last weekend, but the other name is hard to even wrap his head around. Somehow, Giovanni is just about the last person here Saphir would have expected to actually die. Aren't idiots like that the kind who live through everything?

And everyone liked him, right? As incredibly annoying as he was, even he-- ]

[white_camellia]

[...There would have been a sort of resigned acceptance if it was just one person dead. But there were two murders? And they mostly targeted people who were fundamentally good-hearted and trying to help?0 They couldn't have gone for someone like Gin or her instead? Whoever did this... Cannot be forgiven.

Nanaka's body is once more pushed to the ground, as the curtain -- both sides this time -- flips upwards to touch the ceiling.]

[onemolife]

[ Oh.

Oh no... ]

Conservatory- [ hewwo Dazai ]

[onemolife]

[ As he walks back out of the Master Bathroom, he pauses a moment in the hall. His gaze travels westward as he feels a certain pull. He should turn away, and stay in the static area, but he's curious about who it was.

So he starts to head down the hall, and into the Conservatory. Heading straight for Battler's body. His eyes are now closed, but Wei Wuxian looks up at the ceiling, before looking back at him. Kneeling down beside him. His eyes will glow red for a moment, but when he blinks they will be back to their normal gray. ]

Ah, that's a lot of resentful energy. Your last moments must have been...

[ Exactly what you can get from his expression. Full of crushing despair and hatred.

Then he'll realize he's not alone. ]

[hewwo]

[cw_suicide]

[there is, in fact, a Very Sad And Loads Of Negative Emotions Dazai sitting near a plant not too far from the body.

he's just been sitting here being Sad and [all those other nasty feelings] while he stares at the body. it's fine. he's fine. ignore that he hasn't really processed WWX showing up quiet yet.]

conservatory for Rosa, dressing room open.

[zweivoltage]

[After the investigation and everyone did their double-checks, Ky makes a stop at the Conservatory, like before - when he's able to - he visits the deceased, to pray. It makes him wonder... was it doing anything at all for them? But, he had to hold onto some Hope and Faith even here. Maybe even this little bit... would help them.

Ky kneels next to Battler's body, taking the crucifix out from under his uniform's shirt]

Nobody deserves this... least of all you and Potage.

[The door was left open, allowing anyone to come in. After this, he returns to the dressing room, using the largest coat he can find to drape over Giovanni's body - it seem wrong to leave him exposed like this]

[golden_dream]

[Rosa didn't want to look at him, but... she felt she had to. She'd made a funeral kimono for Haku. It'd be strange if she couldn't spare one for her nephew.

--Still, she knew Haku's sizes, and having to measure Battler's corpse...

It hurt.]

...

[She looked over to Ky, realizing he was praying. She stood to the side, then waiting to reveal the writing on her notepad:

"Ky, will you please help?"]
