Sixth Investigation

[bathymetric]

Another Friday. The air is strangely cold as you wake, potentially wondering if this week will follow the trend of the last two. How can you afford to keep bleeding people like this? Surely this isn't sustainable. One way or another, some kind of reckoning has to be coming.

But before that reckoning, there's one more time you need to go back into the breach. You hope not, but... it was one hell of a motive this week, after all. Up and at 'em, gang. Helios Suites is body-free, so you can grab a breakfast or something before heading out, but... for one last time, there's something out there for you to find.

[ Makes the dream work!!

There are a few things to note about his clothes, first, if you'd like. ]

[honeyedtea]

[ Lay it on me! ]

[bathymetric]

[ First off, this isn't his usual outfit! He's wearing a vending machine Hawaiian shirt and some black pants from the department store. His boots, however, are the same, and there are a couple things to note about them, the first being the crushed glass in the soles. ]

[honeyedtea]

[ He was really leaning into the whole cool hip stepdad aesthetic huh

Any way of telling what kind of glass it is? Like, a mirror compared to a drinking glass. ]

[bathymetric]

[ Mirror seems right? Could have something to do with the disturbed mirror section nearbyish, but there is one more thing in his boots to note before moving on. ]

[honeyedtea]

[ PLEASE give her the last of the betails (boot details) so she can get the HELL away from this body ]

[sastruga]

[teen girl squad is gonna do SO MUCH repressing after trial's over]

[bathymetric]

[ One of them has a throwing knife in it! The other does not. ]

[honeyedtea]

[ . . .

WELL, ALRIGHT THEN!!!

Is this a case of the other throwing knife being missing? ]

[bathymetric]

[ At present, seems like that could be the case! But maybe he just took one out? Unclear! ]

[honeyedtea]

[ The inner machinations of his mind truly are a mystery......... is she free to go check out the other, none-corpse evidence now ]

[bathymetric]

[ ... I have missed one (1) thing, apologies, which is that his sword, which he has on now as he has since he got it from the vending machine, is slightly but not fully drawn! Now you may move on from the body. ]

[honeyedtea]

[ ... ok before we move on, does it perhaps look like maybe Nandor got ambushed or at least surprised? ]

[bathymetric]

[ Tough to say just looking at him! The body has been uh. Disturbed, by the head trauma, and most any patterns have been upset by The Day Of All The Blood. ]

[honeyedtea]

[ alrighty, moving HASTILY AWAY from the body, what's up with this Mirror Evidence ]

[bathymetric]

[ So there's like. A mirror display nearby, and several of the mirrors have been Upset. A couple are knocked askew, and some have fallen completely over and shattered! ]

[honeyedtea]

[ Well, that explains the glass. If she carefully picks her way over there, is there anything to suggest what happened here or does it just look like the aftermath of a fight or a struggle? ]

[bathymetric]

[ Just a lil struggle maybe. Nothing particularly of note within it. ]

[honeyedtea]

[ Hmmmm Mielle will remember that.

Is there anything else she needs to pick up on or should she go tend to her poor freshly traumatized gf ]

[bathymetric]

[ Looks like there's more disturbance across the way! ]

[honeyedtea]

[ What in the HELL happened here?? She's following the trail to see if there's any more disturbances (or you know, anything else disturbing) to spot. ]

[bathymetric]

[ Looks like a display of wooden signs was knocked over nearby! They all say "Privatize, Produce, Prosper" in fancy looping cursive. ]

[honeyedtea]

[ Do they look damaged in any way, or like there's any blood on them? Or did they just get kicked about? ]

[bathymetric]

[ Some of them are a little cracked, like something knocked into the display? No blood, though. However, there is something in the wall behind the display. ]

[honeyedtea]

[ Eyes emoji. What Has She Found. ]
