[CONTINUE] week 1 || act: investigate

[foundationmods]

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

Thursday comes, and there is no angry captain waking you up, no crowd of people.

But there is still, undeniably...

a feeling of foreboding.

You know what this is.

One of your own...has perished.

At the hands of one of you.]

....

[ solomon stays silent as he turns over ren's corpse. he doesn't really know what to say besides silently mourn him.

all he can do is hope that he'll be back with them in the next loop.

deep breaths. he's got this. ]

We need to gather as much evidence as we can. [ ... ] I can stay with the body, if it makes you too uncomfortable.

[ ............ ]

Ren...goddammit...

[ Marisa pinches the bridge of her nose and takes a deep breath.

It'll be fine. He'll be back when the week starts over, right? ]

...I'm okay. I'll help look at whatever needs lookin' at

[finalring]

I think we should take his SOUL...and check to see if there's anything around here like footprints. [ okay! well since we're at it, we're going to check the general state of the corpse. broken bones? possible cause of death? ]

[foundationmods]

[Funny you mention broken bones - there's the normal Rigor Mortis, but there's also some things that will immediately stick out.

His right wrist is broken, along with his left forearm. Moving his legs will reveal his left knee is also broken. Finally, when moving his head, his neck is also broken, Ren's head wobbling in a way that suggests clavicle dislodgement and spinal cord severage.]

[finalring]

He didn't go quietly. Whoever killed him had to fight him until they had a chance to snap his neck. From then, they threw him. That's what I believe right now. [ wow! he sure didn't want to remember how much he hated doing body checks.

can he tell time of death from the rigor mortis? and, aside from that, are there any bruise shapes that can be distinguished? ]

So perhaps the "culprit" will have some injuries on themselves as well.

[foundationmods]

[Rigor Mortis says that it was late night - again, around 12-1 am.

[As for bruises, there's obviously bruises where his bones were broken. The one on his wrist is like someone gripped his wrist to break it, the one with the forearm is consistent with bruise patterns from a broken bone pushing up against the skin, and the knee one has a major bruise on the back of it, like whoever it was broke it from the back.

However, the neck has no bruises or marks.

As Solomon does his checks, he'll also find a bruise on Ren's right knee, like he struck something or someone very hard.]

[finalring]

[ hmmmm, he will be taking pictures of the bruises.

can he tell what kind of hand gripped his wrist? was it a large/medium/small hand that grabbed him?

aside from that, he's wondering if he can check ren's pockets. is there anything that he may have that might be good for the trial? ]

AREA CLEAR (BODY)

[foundationmods]

[Definitely an adult's hand, at the very least.

There doesn't seem to be anything in Ren's pockets, but His knife is still in it's holster.]
