INVESTIGATION 1

INVESTIGATION 1

The clock strikes eight. The intermittent showers that dominated most of yesterday had, at some point during the night, escalated to a complete downpour that drenched the streets. Maybe that's why the morning might almost feel refreshing today—while it can't be said that the birds are chirping and the sun is shining brightly, the breeze is cool without being frigid while the sky is bright with the half moon.

Nevertheless. The deadline for Tuesday's motive was laid down as Friday, and amongst the pleasant earthy smell of the rain may be a tinge of something else.

Well now, how shall you spend this morning?

Have you ever seen a real autopsy report?

[ Look, his hands are dirty from pavement paper and he's in a shitty mood. Let him complain. ]

Plenty. [ He's practically ^_^ here. ]
inordertobelieve: (disgusted: don't talk to me)

[personal profile] inordertobelieve 2020-01-10 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Then you know this is an insult to the term.

[ Look, the time of death is nice, but pretty much worthless coming from their captors with no reasoning cited. ]

To start with, there has yet to even be an autopsy. And likely, there will be no resources to have one.

Is my faith in you misplaced, Teru Mikami? Or rather, my trust in your pursuit of justice.

You're getting ahead of yourself.

When did I indicate I'd give up on seeing the culprit neutralized? I'm merely pointing out the absolutely sub-par working conditions you've created.

What will even happen to the body from here on?

And I am merely saying I trust you to make do with the cards you've been dealt. Besides, none of you are children who deserve to be coddled. [ Emphasis on the you there, perhaps in both instances. ]

I will collect it when you are finished, it would be a grave slight of decorum were it to remain.

I assume you're not going to give it a proper burial.

[ Elliot was, presumably, mostly innocent. So this is a rather tasteless way for him to meet his end. ]

[ I forgot I wasn't in italics in this thread. ]

A burial? Hardly. But cremation is hardly an unfitting end.

[personal profile] inordertobelieve 2020-01-10 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Mikami releases a sigh that sounds a little like relief. ]

Knowing you, I expected worse.

[personal profile] dominioned 2020-01-10 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Knowing me in what way? Even criminals can have a code they follow, you know. [ Crossing his arms. ]

[personal profile] inordertobelieve 2020-01-10 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Whatever code you follow has not shown any signs of respecting the lives of others this far. Pardon me for assuming a pattern.

[ So dry. ]

[personal profile] dominioned 2020-01-10 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I suppose I shall forgive you. [ Flippant. ]

Consider it a matter of cleanliness then.

That brings us up to exactly one shared value.

[ He'd be disgusted by having anything in common with Rembrandt, but after seeing how gross a lot of his co-hostages are...? Yeah, he's good like this. At least someone cares. ]

[personal profile] dominioned 2020-01-11 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
I'll make sure to keep a list, for the future. [ Is he just being an ass or do they have more in common, it is a mystery. ]
inordertobelieve: (disgusted: will end you)

[personal profile] inordertobelieve 2020-01-11 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
Suit yourself. Now, if you'll excuse me.

[ He's going to really need that shower now, wash the disgust off himself before trial. ]

[. . . After Mikami's done speaking... And wandered off... Shin is going to walk over to Rembrant and whisper.]

May I speak with you after the trial?

[ He tilts his head, then nods. ]

Of course.
