FIFTH INVESTIGATION

Friday morning dawns like any other. There's no sharp indicator whether or not you've all managed to avoid this motive - nothing missing returned, or anything like that. You still have the photos of the Ideal Futures that Jack gave you. The hallway outside your rooms is again clear of bodies. The air is still, the ship quiet.

Still, you can't help the feeling that, well... why would this Friday be any different? You've been in this cycle for over a month now, after all. But... only one way to find out!

[ It's definitely in an unfortunate place for a knife to be, and the wound looks extra messed up and torn on the edges especially. ]

[So not a clean strike, got it. Just to clarify, this is just stabbed in his torso somewhere, presumably? The exact location isn't important?

Also are these vending machine knives? I figured they were but can't hurt to double check!!]

[ Yeah, exact location isn't super important.

And yep, they sure are! ]

[Awesome, thanks! Does Decus have any other obvious injuries, or does it seem likely that this knife wound was the one to kill him?]

[ Nothing nearly as serious as the knife wound, but there are a couple things! Firstly, a minor blunt force wound to the head. ]

[Hmm! Is this to the back of the head? I'm guessing there's no more information about what could have been responsible for that outside of "something blunt", right?]

[ To the front, actually! Nothing much more to be said about it here though, no. ]

[Someone smacked him in the face.... rip. Okay more realistically, it's probably the forehead, right?

Okay, so knife wound, smacked in the head, anything else to note about the state of poor Decus' injuries? How are his hands and arms looking? Any torn clothing (besides the knife wounds)?]

[ Yeah, the forehead.

There's a shallow, minor stab to his upper left arm. ]

[Does it look like it could have been made from one of these knives?]

[ It's not deep enough to be totally sure, but that seems reasonable! ]

[I'll be sure not to bold that, then!! Is that it for injuries here? And actually, while he's here, might as well go through Decus' pockets (assuming he has them??) to see if there's any more evidence to be found. We've gotta be thorough!!!]

[ No other wounds, but there's definitely some blood on his shirt! And... actually, there's something weird about the shirt in general, come to think of it. ]

[Blood that is not from his knife wound, presumably? And sure, what's up with this shirt besides the six knives?]

[ Yup! Just a general... very bloody time.

This isn't his usual outfit. Just his jacket, a tie-dye shirt, and pants. Thank goodness for the jacket, without those belts who would have recognized him? ]

[Oh, the tie-dye...... But bless the belts, we never would have recognized that purple hair otherwise??? But hmm, good to know! Anything else to note about the state of poor goddamn Decus or is this everything?]

[ It's a little tough to describe, but... apart from the Death, he looks. Ill? Not severely, but he doesn't look like he was physically in a great spot. ]

[Ill... Hmm. Okay, so I do not know the first damn thing about poisonings (this is why Dal does the body investigations) but are there any signs that he could have been poisoned by something? Either the cyanide in the vending machine or something else? (Looking at you, froyo!!!)]

[ It could have been! If it was a poisoning, though, it was probably fairly mild, going by the lack of severity to it. ]

[That's about all the information Yeager could get anyway, poisons aren't really his specialty. That works, thanks! Anything else to note here? Presumably he isn't laying in a massive pool of blood or anything because it was just the one stab wound that did him in?]

[ Just a little something next to him - namely, his all-purpose murdergame device. There's a heart drawn in blood on it. ]

[Wow, talk about morbid. First of all, does it look like Decus could have drawn the heart (that is, the heart is right side up if he was looking at it)? And second, is the device on? Is it on Alice's profile.........]

Edited (clarification) 2021-03-05 20:02 (UTC)

[ Yep, there's a little blood on his fingertips and everything. The device is off, but if he turns it on, the heart is around Alice's face in his motive picture. ]

[Goddamn. That's depressing... Anyway, I see that area clear comment so good work team and RIP Decus.]

[ Yup!

Also just a quick clarification about All The Blood - there's enough blood here that there's a small pool under him, most of which seems to have come from his chest wound! Just to make it clear how much you're dealing with here. ]
