INVESTIGATION 4

And the clock ticks down to the end of another week. While the days were no less eventful, the tone set by last Thursday wasn't matched in the same way this time, so perhaps that's a source of relief for some. Looking at it another way though, maybe it was nothing more than the calm before the storm; after all, every Friday has been nothing but bodies upon bodies in some way or another.

So maybe that's why it may be unsurprising to smell something acrid and burnt on the autumn breeze that sweeps through the streets. The bell tolls eight. Time to get investigating.

[ It looked like they were at this shit again...and so Rean found his way here, ready to begin his investigation. Anything off at first glance? ]

[umbralant]

[Nothing stands out at first glance! You'll have to take a look around, Rean!

Also, for reference, how familiar are you with the contents of this boutique?]

[reanbeans]

[ Well familiar since Rean regularly visited this place during the week.

How are things looking behind the till? ]

[umbralant]

[Pretty depressing, given none of you guys have been paying for the things you take. So much lost inventory, and no money at all earned from it. Thanks a lot, guys.

Hah! But yeah, for real, it seems there's nothing noteworthy behind the till]

[reanbeans]

[ Sad trombone.mp3

...How're the dressing rooms, by the by? ]

[umbralant]

[A careful look through the dressing room yields no results. Everything is nice and clean over here -- and doesn't seem like anyone has been here recently? There's no dirt or mud or blood, or really anything that could have been dragged from outside.

That makes two areas of this boutique that have been left untouched]

[reanbeans]

[ Let's try near the winter wear. Definitely gotta be something over there, right? ]

[umbralant]

[I'd put here that saying about succeeding at the third attempt but I forgot how it goes and I'm feeling lazy. Yes! The winter wear has changes. You have solved this game of Where's Waldo!

Many winter coats are gone! What's unusual is that it's so many coats, and also that it's from a variety of sizes and styles gone. Cheaper, expensive, fur coat, comfy coat, so many are gone]

[reanbeans]

[ Okay that's...weird. Someone definitely got greedy.

By the way, how are the sewing materials looking while we're at it? ]

[umbralant]

[Is it good news or bad news to see all the sewing materials are all untouched? You can rest assured nobody is out there making a Frankenwintercoat, at least]

[reanbeans]

[ ...That's good. How about we check out the suits next? ]

[umbralant]

[The suits are fine! Nice.

That seems to be about it. The rest of the clothing section also seems to be unchanged. Nice job, Rean!]
