FIRST INVESTIGATION

[faentasy]

INVESTIGATION I

Good Morning. Did you sleep well? It certainly feels like you have, perhaps too well, even for those who don't normally sleep. Maybe that's to be expected in this fairy tale, maybe it was only a matter of time.

Regardless, rise and get ready for your day, and keep your eyes to the sky. For who knows if someone fell to temptation?

[It takes no more than one glance to see this blockade is full of lighter furniture. A kitchen table placed on the doorway, with chairs both below and above it. The table may be the heaviest piece of furniture on this blockade, but in general the chairs that compose it are easy to lift]

[scythegun]

Ja, it certainly seems strange that both of you fell asleep here and didn't hear something like that... I wonder what happened last night.

[hellochildren]

How unfortunate.

[He said, without an ounce of sympathy in his tone.

He'll flutter to the rope, and cut it with his talons. Then, he'll move the cloth off the victim's front.

Who didn't make it past the first week?]

[faentasy]

[She finds.......!

The kitchen, which looks mostly untouched except for how the tables and chairs were moved to make the blockade. There's not really anything off about this place otherwise, which probably makes it that much weirder but at least there isn't a monster waiting to eat your face or something?]

[eternaljune]

Hmm...not heavy at all, but...

[Given Rika is small enough to do so easily, she's going to crawl past the blockade into the kitchen. What will she find?]

[eternaljune]

[Inconsiderate is right. What if Rika wanted to make steak and eggs?]

I have to agree...people don't block doors with furniture unless they're trying to keep people out. Something must be in there...

[Which given Rika's one of the smaller folks here...she's gonna do some inspection of what's in there.]

[kowashi]

Myo-eh! Priests are supposed to have weird names, don't worry about it.

[ Thank for letting her laugh, Mister English man. ]

Do you know anyone with weird names I can try to pronounce?

[faentasy]

[The ropes aren't quite thin enough to be cut through, but he'll be able to loosen it enough to shift the cloth and expose whatever is underneath. And once that is out of the way, there can be no doubt that this is a someone rather than a something.

Or rather, this was someone.

Contrasting wildly against the vivacious hue of the red fabric, their green blazer and white uniform shirt only serves to highlight the dark band of bruising and the scratches that stretch across their pale neck. Brown eyes once bright with the light of life now stare blankly upwards, glassy and unseeing as the wind lightly ruffles the bangs around their face. While they were ever so energetic and lively, now it's almost like their frailty has been put on display, as their small body lies cold, stiff and completely motionless within the cocoon of crimson cloth.

At least one girl's wish will remain unfulfilled here now.

Samidare Asahina is dead.]

[crimson_flamel]

Well, it seems largely empty. I'll dismantle the barricade now, give me a moment.

[She gets to work dismantling the barricade. Still, she'll have to look around the area further. Perhaps there's something hidden in one of the drawers or ovens?]

ANNOUNCEMENT

[begrimed]

[ A melody rings out just like the first evening, and the voice of Hamelin can be heard throughout Aira Niluc, wherever you happen to be. ]

Ahahahaha, now we're really getting started!!!! I have to know, was it the party that really got everyone into a killing mood? You don't need to answer that!

Onto business: Samidare Asahina is dead. So here's how it's gonna go. You have a few hours to poke around and be the best lil' detectives you can be! If you don't want to? I'm not gonna force you, but either way we're meeting for trial afterwards. How else would we decide who gets to meet the pointed blade of justice?

I'll call for you when time's up, just follow the sounds of my pipe like good lil' sheep!

Re: MANSION -- ROOFTOP

[mathodical]

[ hi, william and koto are both here to poke around!

does anything look out of the ordinary? does it look like this place was broken into or anything violent happened here? ]

[biqe]

[ WELL they're already in here, so... ]

[kowashi]

[ what the smart math man said! ]

[vogelfrei]

[ Well, that sure was an announcement. McGillis will head out to investigate because he did use to be... a military inspector, which is not remotely a criminal detective, but hey.

He still has his mug of coffee in hand as he arrives inside the mansion, might as well finish it as he goes.

What kind of rooms are there? ]

[hellochildren]

[That...that, the parrot actually does find unfortunate. He hadn't talked to her much, but he at least expected her to make it a bit longer, considering how she acted at the meeting. Kinda sad, really...

No matter. A body is a body, and it means they're going to have to find out who did it.

They'll give Frau Asahina that much.]

[gemuinemanagement]

[Suga has stopped crying by the time he gets to the mansion, at least. He can't bring himself to actually go inside, so the outside it is.

First things first: is there anything obviously out of place? Blood, or signs of a struggle out here?]

[mirrite]

[This is Marcus standing very, very close to Phil, right hand half-raised just in case he needs to make a grab for his gunblade.

But at the same time, he's going to be scanning the area, since there are plenty of tools that would make excellent murder weapons, after all.]

Re: BODY REPORT

[crimson_flamel]

[I wish to beat this man with my fists.]
