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?

[Looks like it could be a match for a knife or a dagger rather than a sword. While there was some bleeding there, it actually doesn't look like that much blood came out as far as wounds go, although there is a bit that oozed out onto his back (which is now frozen because ty freezer).]

[deadlygoals]

[ so more blood came out of the throat wound as opposed to the back wound.

How deep is the wound? ]

[umbralant]

[Is he like... gonna stick his finger in there to check or try something else? Because it's pretty hard to tell from just looking.]

[deadlygoals]

[ there is a joke here but I'm sparing you all

he doesn't want to fuck up the wound, so he's going to use the nail file from his swiss army knife to put it in slowly and carefully. how deep is the sea wound ]

[umbralant]

[if that joke is what i think it is then i'm glad you took mercy on our souls

Anyways, when he puts it in, he'll find that the wound is around 4 inches deep!]

[deadlygoals]

[ Okay, he's going to look at the back part of the wings to see if there's anything apparent there. Any odd blood smears here? ]

[umbralant]

[If you mean the inner part of the wings, then no, there's nothing there. The blood is only on the tips and more on the edge/outer side of the wings that would face away from the body if they're folded in.]

[deadlygoals]

[ Let's do a walk around inspection. Is there anything noticeable about the sleeves of his shirt or anything on his clothes?

And now time to move that arm carefully to check out the black smudge better. He's going to use the swiss army knife again, but this time he's using the back of the small blade to try to scrape some of it off. ]

[umbralant]

[There's nothing unusual about his clothes beyond the hole that was left by the stab (and now being cut apart for investigation purposes)!

As for the black smudge, Dazai's going to have to be pretty careful about it, because it's stuck on decently well although there's the occasional small lump or two which may be easier to remove. Either way, when he finishes up, he now has bits of what looks like dried paint to take home with him.

Hurray??]

[deadlygoals]

[ Goody. He didn't know Sirius was into finger painting.

Speaking of fingers, is there anything in his nails? Also we should probably do a pocket check. So what's in his pockets since he actually has clothes on and isn't a naked furry. ]

[umbralant]

[There's enough of that paint shit that some of it made its way into his nails, but beyond that, there's nothing else (unless you count the usual dust and dirt and whatnot)!

He has his key, so I guess that means room looting can be done if he locked his door previously, but there isn't really anything else of note!]

[deadlygoals]

[ ...

Is there any scruff marks or anything odd about his other hand? Any marks on his knees or legs? ]

[umbralant]

[Nothing strange about his other hand! It just seems like one of them faced The Paintening.

As for his knees and legs, not specifically. However, if he gets up close, he might notice some traces of black stuff on the backs of his heels. And when I say heels, I mean his actual feet because he is barefoot as usual (but not naked).]

[deadlygoals]

[ naked furry feet i can't believe this

just to be thorough, it's the same black stuff as his hand? does it look like his heels were dragged in it? ]

[umbralant]

[wow he isn't furry on his feet okay

But yes, the black stuff matches what's on his hand, although this time it's on both feet. It's hard to say if he's been dragged or not, but at the least it's obvious none of it is on the soles of his feet and the black stuff doesn't go higher than the middle of his heel bone.]

[deadlygoals]

[ Is this like the negative hobbit? no fur feet but fur else where?

Let's mess with the body some more. Just going to move him around to check the back of his legs. Anything weird happening on the back of his leg? Any paint on his butt in case Rideaux asks? ]

[umbralant]

[Nope! There's nothing other than the general dampness you get when you have been lying around on ice and frost for quite a while. No paint anywhere!]

[deadlygoals]

[ Okay, going to scan him one more time before checking his hair (on his head). Is there anything in his hair? Blood, paint, cleaner? ]

[umbralant]

[Nope! Everything is in order here! Nary a drop of blood, paint, or cleaner!]

[deadlygoals]

[ Looks like we're done here.

Sirius can chill in here, he will be taking the scrap of fabric he cut from his back before heading out of the freezer. Bye Rideaux.

OH WAIT

is there anything about that trail that lead him to the bodies? Anything in the freezer to check out? ]

[umbralant]

[Nope! The trail that led to the bodies is still there, but it doesn't seem like there's anything else here in the freezer other than the bodies. No clues lying around!]

[deadlygoals]

[ Okay, he's outtie cause it's cold.

Time to burn his eyes again on that smell ]
