FIFTH INVESTIGATION

[bathymetric]

Morning dawns on Friday with the same sense of horribly mundane not-quite-dread it must by now, everything normal as you wake to leave your rooms and yet... well, the weeks haven't been kind to this usual favorite of days, have they? It's been over a month now since your last normal Friday.

But maybe this one will be different. Maybe you'll all find that despite everything, you've all finally made it to the end of one of The Professor's motives. You've outlasted him, and can see what happens when you all do so.

Or maybe not. Only one way to find out.

[ Boy was there! Most of the furniture in here is broken or torn - if you want signs of a struggle, this sure qualifies. ]

[ ALRIGHT COOL THAT'S ENCOURAGING Uhhh... Do any parts look more roughed up than others? Because that's probably where she should start. ]

[bathymetric]

[ A lot of them, especially on the few pieces of furniture with upholstery, seem like cuts, so that's... well, it's something specific, at least. ]

[nothingcanstop]

[ How deep are these cuts? ]

[bathymetric]

[ Fairly! They're also weirdly uneven?

It's also easier to see the small droplets and splashes of blood on the furniture like this. ]

[nothingcanstop]

[ Oh. Well. That's. Something! Is there anywhere this is centered? Like, compared to...the pile of shattered gem, how close or far away are these splashes? ]

[bathymetric]

[ They're around, but actually are't on the furniture with the cuts. Weird.

But also, upon inspection, the walls and floor get some specks of blood too. Pretty chaotic! ]

[nothingcanstop]

[ Oof. That's for sure. So we're just kind of looking at specks of blood everywhere. A lot of little things, instead of one big thing. ...Someone must be real hurt.

She's just going to keep looking over things. Aside from the jesus christ almighty speckled blood and the general chaos--is there anything else to note here, at the scene? ]

[bathymetric]

[ As far as this scene goes that's about it - but now that Mira's seen the sword, a quick note that the cuts in the furniture don't seem even and clean enough to have been left by it. ]

[ ...Excellent, awesome, thanks. Well, she's just gonna help where she can then, until the trial. ]
