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?

[ hello here be the original instigator of these rooftop shenanigans.

are these patterns/trailing marks/scuff marks consistent with the flecks that are on the adze? ]

[faentasy]

[The brick bits from the adze would match up in color for sure. The flecks on the adze are honestly pretty fine so you can't like... ram one in to fit it into the scratched up brick like some 3-D puzzle though, if that's what you're asking.]

[mathodical]

[ more like! if he were to use the adze to chip at the chimney (i'm sorry but he would) it would kind of match the way the chimney is currently scratched up? he's trying to prove that was what the adze was used for, beyond any doubt! ]

[faentasy]

[The marks made by the adze would be consistent with how the chimney is marked up, yes!]

[mathodical]

[ okay that's one mystery solved - are the marks concentrated on any one particular side of the chimney or would someone be able to deduce moving patterns based off the scuff marks or no?

last question I THINK... would the chimney still be warm. if the oven was warm. are they both linked. ]

[faentasy]

[The marks are mostly on the east-facing side of the chimney although most of it's also at the corner of the chimney. Can't really tell anything about direction, nope.

The chimney is not warm!]

it's time to go off on a completely different tangent while chimney-hugging

... William. I'm given to understand at least part of this situation is your idea?

[It's a casual inquiry in tone, soft and low and seemingly distracted as Jack tilts his head towards the body wrapped in rope and gutter and potentially adze at the same time as he runs fingers across the chimney, trying to play connect the dots literally and figuratively.

He'll get out of Moriarty's way once he starts literally hacking away at the thing, because the brick facing is the least of their worries, but nevertheless he stays within speaking distance.

They are both somewhat trapped on this roof for the moment, after all. What better time for a tête-à-tête?]
