THIRD INVESTIGATION

[faentasy]

INVESTIGATION III

Some days are long and some days are short. If this wasn't the third week of your stay, perhaps you might think that exhaustion had crept in from Wednesday's nights activities. But you know better than that by now.

Consciousness comes to you groggily, perhaps uncomfortably depending where you were when sleep suddenly took hold of you. While the world stands on the verge of awakening as the horizon blazes with a fiery glow, the sky remains a navy blue where you are.

The time is 5:00 AM. You could return to your slumber, but do you really think third time's the charm?

((OOC NOTE: Investigation is open until 10PM EST.))

[Well, it's less like an actual article of clothing and more like a white sheet that's been wrapped around and on top of her normal clothes, actually.

Notable also is that Yor's normal clothes are cut and torn through where her arms are, although there's no tears on the white sheet at all, even where it covers the wounds on her legs.]

[hellochildren]

[That's...odd. Why would they wrap her up after killing her? Was there some form of respect going on? Or did they just want to hide the injuries?

Questions that will be answered at the trial. There are still things to be figured out here and now.

So, very carefully turning her over, it's time to get to the main event: injuries. What is there on the front? Just more small injuries, like this was a death by a thousand cuts situation? Or is there a more prominent one to note?

Oh, and he will be removing the sheet if he needs to. Probably also taking note of how much blood has stained it, if any.]

[faentasy]

[He'll have to remove the sheet to view the wounds on her legs and the top of her shoulders, yep. The injuries to her front are limited to the small cuts on her shoulders and the one on her cheek, which are honestly pretty superficial. The red discoloration from livor mortis is all over her front side as well.

With regards to the blood staining the sheet, there's a large stain over her stomach area and quite a bit of blood where the leg gashes meet the cloth as well. There's smaller areas that just seem to have gotten stained just by being in the vicinity of the wounds, so that's probably not surprising either.]

[hellochildren]

[A lot of close calls, apparently. Upsetting it didn't go down the way she wanted, but at least she didn't go down easy.

Removing more of the sheet, he'll look over these stomach and leg wounds. Assuming there's a stab wound to the stomach? And is there any chance the gashes on her legs hit the femoral artery, and that's why there's so much blood there?]

[faentasy]

[There's no stomach wound, actually! It's just that the sheet was bloodied around her stomach area. The leg wounds are nasty, but none of them went deep enough to hit the femoral artery. There's just a lot of blood because a couple of the gashes are wide and pretty long.]

[hellochildren]

Vhat?

[That is...raising more red flags.

New question: Looking all over Yor, are there any significant wounds that would cause her death? Are there more severe cuts on her arms-perhaps ones hitting the veins in her forearms-that could've caused her to bleed out quicker? Or is it all smaller injuries that would usually do nothing on their own?]

cw: gross??

[faentasy]

[No wounds that seem like they would've severed any vital arteries or anything, nope. Maybe it would be possible to bleed out from all the wounds she has but it would take quite a while! But while he's looking over Yor, there's definitely something notable about her face--namely, there's quite a bit of pale pinkish froth coming out of her nose and mouth.]

CW: Gross stuff for the rest of this investigation probably

[hellochildren]

Blutige Hölle, are you serious?!

[Sorry for the suddenly yelling birb, but he is now somehow more pissed at the killer than he was previously!

Just. He's just gonna smell that. The froth is sweet smelling, isn't it?]

cw: gross continues, but vaguely

[faentasy]

[Nah, it uh. It just smells gross honestly. Like body stuff that comes out of a body.]

cw: gross continues, but vaguely

[hellochildren]

Die Mordmethode eines Feiglings...

[Congrats murderer: the parrot is shaming you.

Is there anything else of note about Yor's corpse? Signs of a specific poisoning like her fingernails turning blue? Any sign of where the significant amount of blood on the sheet came from? Or is that it for this corpse?]

[faentasy]

[Nothing off about her fingertips besides being pale, but the skin of her fingers and palms do look wrinkled and pruney. And no, no other wounds aside from what's already been noted on the wound diagram.

[hellochildren]

[As to be expected of a body left in a fountain, really.

If there's nothing else, Pericles will flutter up to her face and, if her eyes are open, close them. If they're already open, he just whispers something to the body.]

I promise zey will be brought to justice. Zis cowart will see you again in the afterlife.

[faentasy]

[Nothing out stands out, nope!]
