INVESTIGATION 5

It's a quiet night as the silence remains unbroken. Without the toll of the clock tower, only a choice few will be able to discern the time as the hands on all four faces remain fixed at 9:27. And yet, even those without any means of checking the time will probably get the picture: it's been four consecutive weeks of death already, so what makes this one any different? So even though the lines between days may blur and tangle together, time still marches on and deadlines continue to draw closer.

The time is ████. Is there a reason to be out in the streets right now? Maybe.

AREA INVESTIGATIONS

[umbralant]

AUTOSHOP

[umbralant]

[deadlygoals]

[ OKAY he's here. Let's pretend he woo-loo'd off to grab the file before coming back armed with more candles to light up and place in different place.

Time to check out the body first. Is there anything on his clothes (checking the back first). ]

[umbralant]

[Dist is already facedown, so at least checking his back won't really be a pain to do. Either way, there's one hole in his upper mid back, and unsurprisingly, his plain pink dress shirt is dyed red with blood right there too. There aren't any other wounds visible from his current position, although the front of his shirt (and some of his slacks) are totally getting ruined by the puddle of blood he's lying in, so that's surely a tragedy in and of itseld.]

[deadlygoals]

[ He's wearing plain shit, which means he was indeed working late in here.

He's going to try to move one of Dist's arms to check if he's all stiff yet to see if rigor mortis has set in. ]

[deadlygoals]

[ JUST FOR CLARIFICATION is the one hole looks like it was made by a 9mm bullet? ]

[pr159]

[ ...God damn it.

Rideaux is going to stand here and supervise for now. If better light is needed, at least he's got his phone. ]

[deadlygoals]

Look around for bullet shell casings.

[ He's too tired to do the usual gremlin shit ]

[pr159]

Alternatively, we could stay in our own lanes and you do that while I do the examination.

[ ...takes a breath; let's start that over. ]

I'm not trying to be contrary here; I just think you'd be better at investigating the things that have to do with guns, and I know what I'd be better at.

[bawcock]

[ He'll leave anything body-related to Rideaux and Dazai. He also helpfully (or not-so-helpfully depending on how bright lux is) leaves two lux daggers hanging by Dazai if he needs even more light. You know, in case?? In case.

The other two can follow him around as he pokes about! For now, he's mostly looking at the floor and maybe shelves to see if there's anything that shouldn't be here. ]

[umbralant]

[There's nothing out of place about the shelves, but checking the floor is a good call because there's a couple of very obvious items of interest near Dist's body. One of the things is a flashlight near where one of Dist's hands are and the other is a gun, about a couple feet away from the body.

Which one are you going to look at first?]

[bawcock]

[ Congratulations on living your best life, shelves!

And that's a toughie, so—why not both? It's probably safe to just pick them up with his bandaged hand but he'll crouch down to check if sure there's anything visible on them first. There's no way he wants to like, accidentally have his thumb rub important evidence off of something. ]

AUTOSHOP - EXTERIOR

[umbralant]

[inordertobelieve]

[ Heading here IN HIS PAJAMAS WITH UNBRUSHED HAIR LIKE A BARBARIAN. He did bring a gas lamp though to be able to see properly.

What's the situation? ]

[umbralant]

[The light of your gas lamp will allow you to see the door of the autoshop is wide open. Examine the area nearby?]

[inordertobelieve]

[ Since Dazai got the situation inside and I am aiming for OOC organization it's way too early to be touching corpses, Mikami will indeed do this.

Is there anything off about the door itself? ]

[baitless]

[you know, he really should have expected this to happen, but like, fuck all this.

Okay. Is he even going to be useful here. What even is a car.]

[umbralant]

[There's no shame in trying, Seteth! That's what's important here.

At least it doesn't seem like there are cars to examine out here. There's a fusebox to a side of the building, though]

[baitless]

[THANK THE GODDESS HE KNOWS WHAT A FUSEBOX IS FROM LAST WEEK

IS IT MELTED]

GYM - BATHROOM

[umbralant]

[raventhaw]

[ well since we were here earlier, let's take a look inside the bathroom area. is it a men's/women's thing or is it just one bathroom... ]

[umbralant]

[ There's both a men's and a woman's bathroom! Which one are you checking, though this choice isn't really too hard all things considered. ]

[raventhaw]

[ WELL...raven heaves a heavy sigh before she steps into the men's restroom. what's going on in here? ]

ladies' room

[raventhaw]

[ for the sake of being thorough again, let's check the other restroom. anything off about the ladies' room? ]

[umbralant]

[ The ladies room is so clean!

...which you know, makes sense. ]
