INVESTIGATION 2

INVESTIGATION 2

Sometime during the late hours of the night, the clouds rolled in with their load and let loose upon the unsuspecting streets down below. It's the end of another week in Krakow, another week in this unending night and another week where The Lady's motive lay in wait. As the bell tolls seven, the rain continues to soak the city below as fog crowds the air, although it's not nearly as suffocating as the kind found blanketing a large portion of the city.

Are you awake this fine morning? And if you are, just where are you hanging around today?

[Very fair! Though if they managed to smuggle the t-rex out through the window, I'd be impressed.

Okay, so looking inside, what can he see? Is it the. the mess. the everything y'all are dealing with over there with Lysithea's body and the chunks and the broken glass thanks, Raven.]

[wishuponazoi]

[He'll kneel down to take a closer look then. More digging, or something else?]

[baitless]

[Seteth isn’t breaking down or anything as he heads into the museum, though his expression is definitely... tired. Very, very tired and slightly haggard, because boy. What a fucking morning it’s already been.

He turns a bit, at least.]

...Suzaku.

[baitless]

[...yeah, it’s not too hard for him to just reach in and pull her out so he can set her on that bench for the more qualified people to take a look at. It’s not like she’s heavy or anything...]

[pr159]

[ Welp. Anything notable about the position of her left hand since he sees that's marked on the autopsy report's diagram? Assuming probably not if she was originally floating and is now... decidedly not floating ]

[umbralant]

[Seteth needs a break...

As he's pulling her out, there might be a small something that drops from her sleeve. Otherwise, there's nothing outwardly obvious about her body besides the knife in her back.]

[apothecares]

[Since Seteth took her out of the tank already, maybe Alfyn should take the body touching job...?]

[umbralant]

[ It's a trail of droplets. There's not too much water, but as weak as the smell is it's obviously fishy. There doesn't seem to be any footprints. ]

[baitless]

[...okay. What is the thing that fell out.Maybe investigating can take his mind off all the everything.]

[umbralant]

[They're...! Fish bits. Or maybe fish salsa if you want to be crude about it, but either way it's obvious all these pieces came from whatever used to inhabit the tank and not, say, Lysithea.]

[deadlygoals]

[ Wow this sure is suspicious or susfishious. Okay, time to carefully open up the dressing rooms then. WHATS BEHIND CURTAIN NUMBER ONE AND TWO, MODS?

Then he'll check the clothing racks to see if anything is disturbed. ]

[umbralant]

[Not digging, more like the patch of grass right in front of the window looks flattened, with a skid mark extending out from it.]

[umbralant]

[It's...! A knife. It looks like a small one that was taken from McDonald's because Seteth is lovin' this investigation, obviously.]

[umbralant]

[ So would this mod, but hey where there's a will there's a way...??

Looking inside he can see the aquarium and the whole hullabaloo there in the distance. So while the window isn't in the aquarium proper, it's still decently close by. ]

[psychophant]

[Gods. You guys have fun in there dealing with the. that. all of that. Anyway!! How are the window and windowframe doing - any signs of anything off with either? How about the inside of them if he leans in to check those out?]

[baitless]

[he cannot even do LYSITHEA WHAT DO YOU HAVE? A KNIFE! NO because she’s too dead to yell it.

Is there anything obviously weird about the knife itself?]

[umbralant]

[He can! On initial examination, there's nothing too outwardly off about her besides the knife in her back; her eyes are closed and maybe she could almost pass for being asleep because there's no real damage to her clothing at all.

Is there anywhere that he would be looking in greater detail?]

[umbralant]

[ A BRAND NEW CAR

...actually there's nothing behind the curtain at all, besides more droplets in the first dressing room. Moving on over to the clothing rack, some of the clothes are clearly wet. ]

[umbralant]

[Her hand is palm down and more or less slumped on the gravel like the rest of her! Her right hand is doing more or less the same thing, so their positions are more or less comparable.]

[deadlygoals]

[ Hmm.

Let's carefully pull these wet clothes out. Do they smell fishy? Is there anything on them? Blood or anything? ]

[umbralant]

[ The window and windowframe are doing fine, albeit wet considering the conditions. Peeking inside reveals that the floor inside is wet too, and he can probably even smell the everything that is happening over there faintly from here. ]

[umbralant]

[Not particularly! It's wet and fishy-smelling because it was in her sleeve, but it's not too notable otherwise.]

[psychophant]

[Gross!! But hmm... Is there any sort of trail or is it just generally wet, presumably because of the rain? Anything else to note about the inside here?]

[baitless]

[goddess Lysithea did not deserve this. Alright. Let’s see. What else is in the tank now that Lysithea’s out of it.]

[umbralant]

[ No blood! And like the dressing room, there's a lightly fishy smell. Since he's pulling them out, someone at least had the courtesy to not ruin what remains of the frilly outfits, these are noticeably more plain (or as plain as you can get for an opera house). ]
