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?

[ The stove and the oven both look fine on first glance and nothing is burning, that certainly would have grabbed McGillis' attention right away. A further check does reveal that the oven is on, but barely so.

The oven, like the stove, is also empty. ]

[vogelfrei]

[ ... okay, if it's only on barely he will not turn it off yet.

But he will open it and sniff the inside. Smell of anything specific? ]

[faentasy]

[ It's not overwhelming but assuming he's really getting in there, it smells lightly earthy. ]

[vogelfrei]

[ Yeah, why not like... stick his whole head in an oven, like the witch in Hänsel and Gretel. This is just how it is sometimes.

Okay, next check, does the kitchen have flour or starch? He's intending to take some crude fingerprints and he needs to know which supplies he needs to gather from outside. ]

[faentasy]

[ It does have flour! ]

[vogelfrei]

[ Great. Just let him brb then as he speedwalks to the general store to obtain some tape and any smooth dark surface he can find (paper preferred, but he'll settle for a cardboard box or something).

And then it is time to dust the oven handle with flour, gently blow excess away, put tape over, stick tape to his surface and... see if that produces anything that looks even halfway usable.

His hopes aren't high but it's worth a try. ]

[faentasy]

[ With how tall he is, isn't McGillis speedwalking like running? He can secure a piece of paper pretty easily so welcome back to the kitchen!

His impromptu CSI dusting reveals a smudged fingerprint. It's not really serviceable though, unfortunately. ]

[vogelfrei]

[ NOBODY CAN SAY HE DIDN'T TRY. He'll keep it and also turn the oven off.

Is anything in the kitchen visibly out of place? He's raised one of the empty house kitchens for a private tea party before, so he sort of knows how these places are supposed to look standardized. ]

[faentasy]

[ ty for saving gas magic mcgillis.

There is one more thing McGillis will notice once he's done checking out the oven and that's there's a few droplets of water in the sink. ]

[vogelfrei]

[ Alright. He's not going to bother dusting the faucet because presumably wet hands make for bad prints all around.

But he will check the cupboards and drawers to see if anything was disposed of in here, to finish this off. ]

[faentasy]

[ Nothing in the cupboards and drawers, enjoy your cup of joe McGillis. ]
