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?

[There was probably some attempt at comfort, if she saw any signs of tears, but...

She herself seems pale and grim as they make their way to the mansion for much the same reason.]

[hellochildren]

[Well, he did find the body, and he's probably one of the more qualified people to look it over-and least likely to get horribly upset over it.

First, the neck. Is there just signs of strangulation, or anything more?]

[incompletely]

[ He doesn’t believe it when he hears it — not at first. But the realization that Sami — who had trusted him with something so personal the other day — is gone, starts to sink in. To say nothing of how horrifying it is, knowing that someone finally acted on this.

Yeah, for all that talk about preventing a murder, they couldn’t even protect one of the brightest people here. Sami really did shine amidst all the darkness. How someone could be so cruel really is beyond him. ]

Why...?

[faentasy]

[Well like, there's a parrot next to a body so that probably stands out.

But anyways as for other weird stuff around the rooftop, there sure are some points of interest!

However, before we get to all that... a couple questions: how did you guys get up here, and how much were you paying attention on the way up?]

[sempiternel]

[ Oh. ]

[mearry]

Samidare…Asahina-san?

[ no way. no way no way no way no way!!!! why would anyone!? ]

Why…?

[hellochildren]

Herr Moriarty, Frau Koto.

[The birb is by the body, giving the two only the shortest of glances before returning his attention to it. At least he isn't telling them to leave?]

[faentasy]

[ Close enough McGillis. Mansions are pretty large but the focal points are: the kitchen, and the attic. Where are you having your morning cup of joe today? ]

[vogelfrei]

[ He'll work his way up from the door, so the kitchen is first. Is there anything notably in disarray? If there isn't, he'll move to check any knife blocks for missing knives because that's always a good start. ]

[faentasy]

[Professor Pericle's professional pathology power hour is here to save the day!

Anyways, it pretty much is just the ligature mark that goes around the front and side of her neck, which look to be about an inch wide. The scratches mentioned earlier are also quite light and there are some above and below the ligature mark.]

[faentasy]

[Working in tandem to investigate the furniture shop, not bad! Let's see what's there to be found.

The workshop is in order. Everything seems to be in its rightful place. Marcus will be able to see it's all well placed and quite clean.

Including the tools. There are no tools missing. Hm? But there does seem to be something out of its place...? From where Phil and Marcus are standing they may not see too well what it is, but something does seem to have been left on a table]

[mearry]

[ wow! big fucking mood! ]

[hellochildren]

Intriguing...

[He knows what that means-that scratches, anyway. He'll have to find out the weapon later.

So, the gut wound. Stab wound? Or is clothing covering a notable bruise?]

[faentasy]

[ Everything seems pretty tidy, actually! The knives in the knife block are all there and accounted for, but while McGillis is standing at the counter taking apprise of pointy objects he might notice it's a bit warm in here. ]

Re: MANSION -- EXTERIOR GROUNDS

[crimson_flamel]

[Ten minutes late and without starbucks, Edelgard arrives with Rika and Makoto in tow. She takes a quick sweeping glance across the exterior to see anything particularly suspicious?]

I believe the body is on the rooftop. A quick sweep of the surrounding area seems like a good idea, however. What do you two think?

[Calm and collected. This was always going to end this way. She turns her head only slightly when addressing Makoto and Rika.]

[faentasy]

[Welcome to the outside of the mansion, Suga, Yor.

From a glance both of them can see there's nothing obviously out of place. No bloodshed, no signs of struggle, from what you both can see. Looks like you both will have to look harder!]

[mathodical]

[ flying--

no ok he did not in this case, mostly because there is a child tagging along with him, but he would have entered through the front door and up the stairs (until realising the stairs don't go up rip) - a little late (considering that he and koto would have had to walk over from the lodging area after the body announcement!

since the stairs don't go up to the rooftop, william and koto will both end up climbing the slats once they realise that pericles is on the rooftop - they're both pretty agile and it's fine, they'll be fine. a little bit winded, but they'll be fine.

he's more interested in getting to the scene of the crime while it's still relatively fresh so while he'll probably investigate more thoroughly while on the way downstairs, anything that is obviously out of place inside and outside (blood spatters? knocked over furniture? signs of struggle?) would probably be taken note of and investigated later unless one of the other groups got to it first ]

[biqe]

[ Phil wouldn't have been much help in the tool inspection department anyway, so... let's go look at that table. Is this still in the workshop part or in the furniture shop? ]

[gemuinemanagement]

[After his first look around doesn't turn up anything, Suga next investigates any bushes outside, or other similarly-sized things that might be hiding small items in them.]

[faentasy]

[Welcome to the outside of the mansion, Edelgard, Rika, Makoto. Let's have fun.

The first glance of Edelgard's examination reveals nothing. Looks like, if there's stuff to be found, it's not immediately obvious. Time to explore the exterior of this place!]

[mathodical]

[ nodding in acknowledgment. he doesn't seem surprised or shocked at the body At All, just kind of... impassive? ]

Have you been here long?

[vogelfrei]

[ ... alright, how's stove and oven looking? Anything he needs to turn off and prevent a house fire, or is something here recently used?

Is anything in the oven or on the stove? ]

[laytorest]

[Yor will continue looking around, searching the area as she makes her way down the path through the hedges.]

Re: MANSION -- EXTERIOR GROUNDS

[laytorest]

...I'll look along this path.

[She points at the path leading through the hedges, which she is investigating up thread so mods no need to double dip on this.]

[faentasy]

[The gut wound is... not visible with her clothing on, so yes, he will need to remove her uniform shirt somehow. Once he does, he'll find that there's a large bruise there, which is about the size of a baseball or something similar.]
