INVESTIGATION 3

The clock strikes eight. It's a chilly morning, made even frostier by the fierce winds that would assault your body should you decide to step out onto the streets of Krakow. It seems that during the night, some light snow made its way down, blanketing the city in a layer of fluffy white, almost even covering up some of the puddles left by yesterday's destruction. Of course, that's only superficial; the water still remains on the streets as slick, icy sheets uncovered by the howling winds. And in the same way that the frigid winds care little for the tranquility of the snow, yesterday's violent disruption was a strike against the usual Thursday happenings.

Well, a reminder isn't so bad every now and then. After all, it's Friday morning and there's a motive out for the taking. The gusts send up a dusting of fine snow every now and then, but it's not so terrible that it's impossible to take a stroll or search for clues in the half moon's light. So, where to?

[ So, Rean yeeted himself out of the freezer because. No thanks?

Even though things are probably bad in here, Seteh was in here at least so he wasn't alone. It could be enough to make him stop as well. So, what's going to be going on at a first glance AND...smell? ]

[umbralant]

[There's kind of a number of things going on, least of which the mess on the floor in one corner of the room but also some of the cleaning supplies being left out in another corner; either way, both of these corners are definitely in the messier half of the room since the half of the kitchen closest to the entrance is sparkling clean. In fact, it looks like you could eat off the floor if you wanted to.

The pool smell continues to pervade the room and with how concentrated it is, it's pretty difficult to tell where it's coming from. Try not to keel over mid-investigation.]

[reanbeans]

[ Rean's face probably is a lovely shade of pale right about now.

But he was going to try his best.

How about he checks out the mess first? ]

[umbralant]

[The mess may be something of a familiar sight, what with a dried pool of blood being pretty distinct and all. It's only 'something of' a familiar sight though, because there's also a puddle of... black and ivory colored stuff nearby. It kind of looks like someone just dumped some paint there in a heap and let it dry, to be honest.]

[reanbeans]

[ What in the name of Aidios...

Anyway how big's the pool of blood here? And uh, there's nothing else mixed in with that paint, is there? ]

[umbralant]

[The pool of blood is moderately sized? Like there is no way someone bled everything they had and then some there, but it was a good amount. You could stand in the puddle and get both of your shoes messed up, at the least. There's also streaks extending out of it which is how we got to freezerland to begin with.

As for the paint, well... there's nothing visibly mixed in, but there's also a good concentration of pool smell at the edges, which look streaky and smudged. Gross.]

[reanbeans]

[ Let's avoid standing around in puddles of blood just because he didn't want to make more of a mess here. He'll also note the uh...yeah grossness here.

Rean was going to hate his life (again) for what he was about to do, but he'll head over to the drawers to get a butter knife and return back to the pile of paint, poking around in it to make sure there was nothing actually mixed in that he couldn't see.

Provided that there's also nothing there, he'll check to see if there was anything else of note nearby these disaster areas that hadn't already been scoped out. ]

[umbralant]

[Oh my god. Well, rest assured, there actually is nothing hidden in that pile of paint so Rean is good to go. One thing that might be worth noting is that it looks more like black paint with some ivory for accents, although there's more ivory color if he like... literally dug into the pile. That sure was a fun experience.

Also because I'm a champ and great at remembering things, the blood puddle does show some signs of disturbance and movement at the edges and the like, but it's not enough to make out footprints or anything either. Also to emphasize it again, the blood streaks cut off before they get to the freezer because fushigi mystery.

There's nothing else obviously out of place unless Rean wants to help Seteth or something!]

[reanbeans]

[ Someone teleported into the freezer. Mystery solved. Ace detective.

Jokes aside, Rean will go and be there to assist Seteth in spirit/or otherwise if needed...in about a moment. There's one more check to make.

...There wasn't anything weird or hidden in the stove, oven, or refrigerator (assuming that this wasn't like the freezer room/inside the freezer room for whatever reason) was there? Sorry, he trusted like nothing, ever. ]

[umbralant]

[Good thinking Rean, but thankfully your worries are unfounded because there are no stray limbs or weird hidden evidence in those compartments! The outside of the stove, oven and fridge are super clean though, even if they smell strongly of pool.]

[reanbeans]

[ Honestly all this pool stuff was...a little much. But, alright.

There's no other places to check so it looks like he headed back to Seteth. ]
