week 1 || act: investigate

[foundationmods]

[Everything is still, silent, and dark - just like it should be.

There's been no indication of trouble, nothing like the last times, when all of you were trapped in games.

If anything, the town is gentle, the people kind....and nothing seems wrong. There's no danger.

Then, why...

Is there a feeling of foreboding?]

BODY

[foundationmods]

[Investigate the body here, please!]

Re: BODY

[improbablenotimpossible]

[Sherlock immediately goes for the body... First, how long has she been dead?]

[foundationmods]

[She definitely died sometime last night, based on the blood congealing - there's enough, but the chill in the area pretty much helped slow down normal corpse things.]

[improbablenotimpossible]

[The cold wound throw off the exact time of death, but it's clear it's not too recent, now Is there residue around the wound?

[foundationmods]

[Oh yeah - This was definitely done at close range. There's a faint smell of gunpowder, and the wound in her forehead seems like it was done by a large bullet.]

[improbablenotimpossible]

[Large caliber, short-range - now to the mask, as this was not what Inaba was wearing for the week.

Anything odd about it? Any smudges or damage?]

[foundationmods]

[No, it's actually quite clean. There's a few blood drops, but there's no damage.

While he looks at that, he might notice the stab wounds on her chest nearby.]

[improbablenotimpossible]

[...Stab wounds? How deep are they, what angle are they are? And how many - also were they inflicted before or after the headwound?]

[foundationmods]

[There are three - one on her heart, and two on her lungs. They seem to be done as if someone was stabbing directly above her, and they're kind of deep.

They also are a little strange - it's like someone stabbed with a foil or a pick, as they're not knife shaped.]

[improbablenotimpossible]

[His brows knitted, to clarify is it 'above' meaning she was laying on the ground, or the attacker was taller and stabbing downwards? And which came first, the bullet wound or the stab wounds?]

[foundationmods]

[Laying on the Ground. And from the way of it, the bullet wound came first.

...There's also the imprint of a handprint on her shoulder, which looks like it was done by someone who's stronger than average.]

[improbablenotimpossible]

[He compares his hand to the handprint. How big/wide is it?]

[foundationmods]

[It's definitely a man's hand - though it's a little smaller and wider than his, due to him being so thin.]

[improbablenotimpossible]

[It's awkward, but he'll Take a picture with his phone to show the comparison.

Now back to the bullet wound... Is there an exit wound, and would he find the bullet under Inaba?]

[foundationmods]

[looks like there is an exit wound, and no bullet or casing.

Unlike Touko, he'll be able to tell that from the size of the exit wound, this is consistent with rifle-shot.]

[improbablenotimpossible]

[He stops, realizing what the weapon is... taking a picture]

Miss Clarke...? Could you assist for a moment?

[romancekiller]

Oh— yeah sure. [she heads over to where sherlock is examining the body too] What do you need my help with?

Re: BODY

[ugly_split_ends]

[Genocider Shou, after making her entrance, will come over and inspect the body.]

Let's see what did the poor Little Princess in...

[She'll kneel on down and get to thumbing around, looking a bit closer at those stab marks. Do they look clean, like they were done by someone who killed before?]

[foundationmods]

[Yes...and no? They were clearly done by an experienced hand, but they're also a little slightly off in a way she can't place. Odd.]

[ugly_split_ends]

HmmmMMmmMMMmmm... It's a mystery, all right!

[She rolls her over, did they go all the way through? What about the bullet?]

[foundationmods]

[Oh, well. When she rolls Inaba over, she'll notice the exit wound on the back of her head is larger than the hole in her forehead - Which is consistent with larger caliber bullets.

The bullet itself though, isn't there, nor is there any kind of casing nearby.]

[ugly_split_ends]

Hey, I guess she had some brains after all! Ahahaha!

[onemolife]

[ Once everyone is done looking over her body, he's going to go collect her soul and put it into his pouch. ]

[sageking]

[ He'll catch that and though he'll raise a brow, he won't say anything for now. He assumes the other would be keeping it safe. ]

[onemolife]

[ It's going into his pouch for safe keeping. His expression is somber, until he sees Gil. Then he'll try to give a smile as he heads back to the Inn. ]
