[continue + 2] week 1 || act: investigate

[foundationmods]

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

Friday 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.]

[oceanicbutterfly]

What is it?

[Whatever it is, she expects to feel awkward about it.]

[accessorytomurder]

I... wanted to ask you about Xian-kun's body. A-And, um. See it after, if we... if there are pictures.

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Yep. There it is.]

I'll answer what I can, and I did try to take a lot of pictures. I didn't want to risk us missing something because I didn't know it was important.

[accessorytomurder]

First things first... um... just... basically, tell me what the condition of the body was, please. I-I need to brace before I look.

[Karen takes a deep breath. When she speaks again, it's quietly.]

He'd been stabbed once, just below the ribs. There was blood on his hair and hands, and... around him. No other injuries that I could see.

[accessorytomurder]

Oh, I see. Did it look like he was bleeding as he walked, or collapsed where he was stabbed?

[That's... not so bad. Kinder than most of the deaths in the house, honestly.]

...I'm ready. Please let me see the pictures.

[oceanicbutterfly]

More like he collapsed there.

[And... here are the pictures.]

[foundationmods]

[ Besides the blood, he looks mostly like he usually does. The one thing she'll notice is that his hair isn't pulled back in the usual fashion. It's actually down and free. ]

[accessorytomurder]

...where was his hair tie?
