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.

[ ... did someone knock ignis out, break the acceleration pedal, and then like let him nyoom like what happened in V for Vendetta (minus explosions)

And with Dist checking out the rest of the panel, he will now pull Ignis' body back to get him un-impaled. ]

[umbralant]

[It is a mystery.

And Ignis is successfully unimpaled! Thankfully it's a pretty clean removal since there's not much in the way of blood that will come out aside from some stray dribbles, although he'll be staying kind of in his hunched over position for a while yet because ty rigor mortis. What does Dazai want to do next?]

[deadlygoals]

[ Let's try to get him out of there.

... some how...

okay what is the state of the front windshield? Also how does everything look around it? He doesn't want to damage any evidence before breaking ti after all. ]

[umbralant]

[Gl with that Dazai, because Ignis is kind of... unwieldy right now, to say the least.

The front windshield is cracked but not completely shattered. Interestingly enough, there isn't really that much blood on it either; there are some flecks and some splatter like what was mentioned before, but there's no focal point for the blood, so to speak. The control panel is also duly wrecked enough already, and it's plain to see that it would be pretty hard to get the tram operational again at this point. There's nothing else of note, beyond that.]

[deadlygoals]

[ Okay, not much blood again. Let's check the head rest to see how much blood is there as well as Ignis' clothes real quick. Looking to see how much blood may have soaked into his new clothes.

Aimed at Dist: ] Are we good to break the windshield yet or have you found something?

[umbralant]

[The headrest has a smear of blood, but not that much beyond that.

As for his clothes, there's definitely a lot more blood in the front (and a lot more injuries like cuts and lacerations, which kind of end up shredding his clothes actually, rip them) and there's a good amount by his chest where he was impaled. However, looking at the back of his clothes shows just a small amount of it around the hole where the metal exited his back.]

[deadlygoals]

[ Okay, one more thing before he messes up the crime scene...

Does the amount of blood in here (clothes + tram interior) seem like it's less blood than it should be? ]

[umbralant]

[It might be hard to say unless Dazai's used to observing the effects of motor vehicle accidents, but at the least there's like... no huge pools of blood or anything around either.]

[deadlygoals]

[ He's used to observing the effects of accidents. When you're an executive of the port mafia, you have to check out a lot of crime scenes involving your underlings to rule out anything hinky like a murder.

Trying to see if there was blood loss prior to being put in here basically. ]

[umbralant]

[It's hard to say if there was prior blood loss because even if he took all of the blood in the front of the tram and combined it together, it probably wouldn't sum up to the total volume that's in someone's body (as with many other crime scenes). The most that can be noted is how there is blood spread fairly evenly throughout the front of the tram!]

[deadlygoals]

[ Okay, time to be a monkey again. He's going to hop up to grab the seats above himself to pull himself up, using the side of the drive's seat as a step. ]

You might want to get to the back for this.

[ He's going to wait until after Dist moves, before kicking the wind shield hard ]

[ortion]

[Considering Dist is like, right in front of the windshield, yyyeah he's definitely going to move back. He'll get as far back behind Dazai as he can considering he'd have to crawl over some seats otherwise...]

[umbralant]

[While Dist is doing that, he might notice that there's actually some blood spatter on some of the seats. They're just kind of spread out and similar in pattern to the spatters near the front of the tram (some showing a linear pattern while some is just like... mess). So that's a thing.]

[ortion]

[...wow, there's just blood fucking everywhere, isn't there?

Is there any blood going down the aisle as well, or is it just on some seats near the front?]

[umbralant]

[There sure is blood everywhere, hospitals would be annoyed at how much is being wasted here!!

There is blood as he goes down the aisles, yes! It's not as concentrated as near the front, but there are some intermittent and random spatter around the seats and also on the side windows as well.]

[ortion]

[When you're splashing blood everywhere, think of the hospitals.

All of that is for sure noted though. Is there anything else of note in the back area of the tram? Like...he'll wiggle back there if he's gotta... It's for the investigation.]

[umbralant]

[There is some more occasional blood spatter at the back but it's really not much. There's nothing much else so thank goodness Dist won't need to wiggle more!]

[umbralant]

[The windshield...! Stays intact. It's not that easy to break these things, so he might need to do a couple more before it breaks.]

[deadlygoals]

[ Time to kick it a couple more times then. ]

[umbralant]

[And after a few more, it breaks, with the glass shattering outwards!

Congratulations, you can now yeet Ignis' body out the front of a tram.]

[deadlygoals]

[ TIME TO YEET IT!

Or actually, time to get the muscles over here to help. ]

Are you still over here, Shiro?

[ Halp this noodle ]

[galrarm]

[ boy is he! ]

Yeah. Give me a moment.

[ and here he is. He can't quite look at Ignis's body, because. welp. ]

Ready?

[deadlygoals]

As ready as I can be~ There's a lot of glass.

[ Just going to drop back down behind Ignis to try to life him up enough for Shiro to get a hold of him. ]

[galrarm]

Right.

[ He manages to get a hold on him, and nods to Dazai... before lifting him up. It's a little awkward with just one arm, but at least there are three here! ]

[deadlygoals]

[ Together they make a three armed person. And he BELIEVES in you Shiro. Shifting an arm under Ignis' legs as they work together to get him out of there. Once he's high enough, Dazai can start to push him outwards ]

Got it?
