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?

[ Nothing is obviously off! Best to look around. ]

[deadlygoals]

[ Let's do this systematically then! He's starting with the dressing room like stalls first, looking around on the floor for foot prints, anything on the floor or any signs of them being used. ]

[umbralant]

[ The floor is a pretty good place to start: there's a trail of water leading to the dressing room stalls. ]

[deadlygoals]

[ What kind of trail do we have? Is it drops of water from someone being wet and coming in? Are there footprints? Does it smell normal in here? ]

[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. ]

[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]

[ 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. ]

[deadlygoals]

[ Hmm.

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

[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). ]

[deadlygoals]

[ Two things! What kind of clothes are we looking at (a dress? a suit?)

Who would they fit? Does it look like they were stretched out by someone having really nice dorito portions or do they look as good, besides being wet, as they usually do? ]

[umbralant]

[ Not a suit, that's for sure. This area of clothes seems to be everyday wear for village townsfolk, so there's some plain dresses along with some simple tops and pants. Mercifully no doritos were harmed in the making of this case, as the clothes look as they normally do besides having the errant wet splotch. ]

[deadlygoals]

[ obligatory joke about shiro's tits are safe then

let's check the pockets. is there anything them or is that all for these clothes? Is it a clothes case?

Also he's going to poke around the other props afterwards ]

[umbralant]

[ Case clothes, there's nothing in the pockets or anything else to note about 'em.

Poking around in the props may bring pangs of nostalgia for a boy and a sherpa jacket, but nothing else. ]

[deadlygoals]

[ Wow.

He'll check back the dressing room on last time to make sure he didn't miss anything, before using a cape from the clothes racks to gather up the wet clothes. ]

[umbralant]

[ There's nothing else in the backstage area, so take that sack of semi- wet clothes and make like Santa. ]

[deadlygoals]

[ Time to ho ho ho it up then ]
