FIRST INVESTIGATION

[bathymetric]

To say this week has been intense is, generally, an understatement. Friday dawns like any other day. Some of you may have guessed that something like this would happen. It's not a difficult assumption to make, considering what's at stake. Mayor Fontaine has come forward with clear intent, and maybe expecting twenty-five people to stay strong against it is too much. Or maybe not! You never know!

...For those of you not entirely convinced, however, those visible traces of blood in the elevator might speak differently.

Comments

[...Great. This opens up the possibilities of consensual biting, or...I don't know, he just bit himself for some reason. Lovely.

Okay. Duly noted. Are there any other injuries apparent?]

[bathymetric]

[ He's a little bruised up in general but to consolidate:

We've got two points of interest around his face, some bruising and...something going on around his mouth. Which would you like to examine? ]

[visiblepattern]

[if he bit himself i swear to god-

Okay, let's check the bruising first.]

[bathymetric]

[ Adaman's left cheek is like one big bruise. Someone got a really solid hit in on him. ]

[visiblepattern]

[Is there anything discernible about the bruise? Small cuts, any portions that are particularly dark? (...Is it evenly particularly dark?) Does it look shaped like he was slapped or punched?]

[bathymetric]

[ It's pretty dark, no cuts! It looks like he was punched. ]

[visiblepattern]

[Oof.

What's going on with his mouth, then?]

[bathymetric]

[ Well...

Frothy discharge. There's a little in the water, too. ]

[visiblepattern]

[Huh. Duly noted, then.

Is there anything else of note, or have we found everything?]

[bathymetric]

[ One last thing, but Aiba's got that! ]

[visiblepattern]

[Excellent. He'll probably personally go over everything with Aiba again after he's done here, just to make sure he got everything she said straight, and then he intends to remain in the garden with Adaman until they're brought out for trial.]
