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.

[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?

[galrarm]

Got it. Thanks.

[ He pulls him out, and it's a little slow going... but they manage it!! good job boys. ]

[deadlygoals]

[ Victory music, but it's a sad kazoo instead.

Okay, so he's going to climb out afterwards. ]

You might not want to be around for the rest of this.

[ Since he's free of the entrapment (or entramment), he can not check out the body better ]

[galrarm]

... You sure? If you need any more help, I can handle it.

[deadlygoals]

I'll leave that up to you.

[ Okay, let's check out Ignis' body. He's going to study both of Ignis' hands. He's comparing the wounds to the ones on his chest. Do they look consistent from the crash or does it look like something else has caused them? ]

[umbralant]

[Well, the wounds on his chest are all cuts, bruises and lacerations that are spread out all around rather than the scrapes that present on his knuckle. Needless to say, they look pretty different. Another thing that would be super obvious to note is that his arms have a lot of cuts on them, so say goodbye to those nice sleeves he has on the shirt.]

[deadlygoals]

[ Does it look like his knuckles scraped against something or does it look like they are from getting into a fight? ]

[umbralant]

[Well, there's no skin looking like it got really shredded or peeled off in strips or anything? As it is, the scrapes are only localized on the knuckle bones and nowhere else.]

[deadlygoals]

[ Okay, cool. Time to do the stripping. Or just cutting off the remains of his shirt using the scissors in his swiss army pocket knife. Small scissors so it might take a bit.

OKAY SHIRT OFF. Let's look at all the wounds to try to see if there's anything suspicious/looks like it could be from something other than the crash. ]

[umbralant]

[For one thing, there's a lot of them. There is some purple discolouration all over his chest in general and if we're talking about cuts and lacerations here, there's a mix between wounds that look like they were fairly messy and some that were fairly clean, straight line cuts. There's quite a bit of blood all over the chest too, but there's a number of them that don't seem to have bled that much. The hole through his chest is a messy one, which probably isn't surprising considering what was jammed through it, but there you go.

Ignis' face didn't come out unscathed either, with some bruising on his cheek and some other small cuts and the like on his forehead.

And as mentioned before, there's a bunch of straight cuts on his arms too.]

[deadlygoals]

[ you know i want to make a joke about straight cuts when the dude was anything but

let's squint at those straight cuts. do they look like they come from a knife, a dagger, a sword? Is he going to have to stick something in there to see how deep? Cause he still has that nail file he can use (And yes he cleaned it) ]

[umbralant]

[They look like they can come from a bladed implement, but in general they're too shallow to determine which of the three options (if any) made it. He can still stick a nail file in them anyways if he really wants to though.

It may also be notable that the cuts on his arms are mostly on his forearms with maybe the occasional one getting pretty close to the wrist and hand.]

[deadlygoals]

[ I CANT BELIEVE I FORGOT TO LOOT THE BODY

Okay, he's going to check pockets. Is there anything on him/in his pockets? ]

[umbralant]

[Just his room key! And I mean, Dazai already shredded his shirt so I guess he can take that too??]

[deadlygoals]

[ yeah he'll totally take the key to add to his key collection. keylection.

anything under his fingernails? Any strange fibers on him or what's left of his shirt? ]

[umbralant]

[Nothing unusual under his fingernails, nor are there any unusual fibers on him or his shirt.]

[deadlygoals]

[ Okay, just going to give him another look over to see if there's anything that looks weird or stands out. We all good here? ]

[umbralant]

[Nothing else really stands out obviously!]
