fifth investigation

[thecastle]

Many are on edge—this is a fact that no one would dare challenge. The motive had hit a lot of people harder than the one previous, and there are more than a few of you who would consider someone acting as a blessing more than anything. It still doesn't help in keeping thoughts of concern far away, as no one is eager about the thought of a comrade dying. Then, there is the reality that there would be the upcoming trial as well. However, in the end, nothing can be done to make any of this easy, and all of you must take whatever may come.

Now, who will be the first to venture outward into the halls? Undoubtedly, something must have occurred. It would be unfortunate if it didn't, no?

[ The right side! And, yes, it's correct to assume that! The bruise is a little smaller than the size of a fist.

The bloodstains themselves are large! ]

[irrationalities]

[No!! Let him stare into the depths of that azure ocean one more time.

...Well anyways. Is there anything about that bruise on his cheek? And which side is it on?]

[aumygoddess]

[ the bathroom.....fun.....after a few moments of hesitation, Hanyuu will (reluctantly) go check out the bathroom as well ]

[gyakusatsu]

[She'll be taking the hoodie with her as evidence (sorry Jin, she'll get you a shirt to make sure you're covered and decent otherwise ok??) but before moving away from the hoodie -- are the two bloodstains placed in a particular way or are they seemingly randomly placed?]

[thecastle]

[ It's a broken wooden chair, someone did a job on it as it looks pretty smashed up. Noticeably, it's not charred at all.

And that's all to be found here, unless you have any further questions! ]

AREA CLEAR

[fedorascout]

[There is one question indeed.

The cloth...does it have any burnt edges? Or are they torn up or anything?]

[thecastle]

[ Be careful Hanyuu it's the bridge troll! Just kidding, it actually doesn't look like a wreck or anything. There is something out on the sink counter though. ]

[thecastle]

[ The left side! You can't tell what made it, but it is a dark bruise and it is swollen. ]

[gyakusatsu]

[Damn it, Mahiro, stop making Tiki feel useless!! Misora will come back to help lift Toranosuke out of the water, briefly scowling at Mahiro.

She looks at Tiki with an encouraging nod, however.]

That'd be very helpful, Tiki. There may be more evidence near by that could help us figure things out. But be careful, okay? There may be something like a knife in the water and I dnn't want anyone else getting hurt.

[With that, she grabs Toranosuke's legs and says a little less cordially to Mahiro:]

Alright, let's move.

[thecastle]

[ The edges are burnt, yes, sorry for not clarifying that earlier! ]

[aumygoddess]

[ look the last time I investigated a bathroom it contained an entire tubfull of blood and a knife in the toilet. I TRUST NO BATHROOMS.

But alright, what's on the counter? ]

[thecastle]

[ Completely fair, but this bathroom is being kind to you.

It's a razor case. ]

[irrationalities]

[Too bad he only has high school biology under his belt!! Ah well, he can at least memorize what it looks like.

Right-o, those sure are weird huh!! They look important? They look important. So I guess it's time to strip Miyamura's body because clearly they should be submitted as evidence. He'll also be on the lookout for anything unusual on the body (or on the clothes) too I guess.

...Man. He's going further than Jin ever has, isn't he. That's just sad.]

[aumygoddess]

[ thank fuck

Anything special about it? Ordinary bathroom razor for shaving, or different kind? And most importantly, is the razor still there? ]

[thecastle]

[ Misora's too kind! Jin would probably appreciate the gesture. Since she's taking the hoodie, she'll be able to feel the key to room #3 in its pocket!

The bloodstains don't look random, no! They're on the same side of his body and there's a mostly clean edge where his chest and shoulder meet. The blood goes down further than that, but it doesn't cover his whole chest. It's on his upper half, not the lower. ]

[thecastle]

[ A-are you stripping the body...? Well, okay. Maybe you should take a look at those clothes when they're dry. The water's made the shirt even darker, making it hard to tell specifics. Something does look off though.

And, wow. Mahiro. Throwing shade on Jin even though he's right there? Not cool, man. Not cool.

... Except his instincts are right and there is something to see under Miyamura's shirt! His chest has a fair number of light bruises on it. ]

[gyakusatsu]

[Huh. Well she'll add that to her growing collection of dead people keys...(yay ???) Anything else in any other pockets?

And huh. That is... odd indeed. No bloodstains on his pants/shoes?]

[thecastle]

[ Well.. the razor isn't in the case. But something else is, looks to be a piece of paper. ]

[thecastle]

[ Nope! The only thing he had on him was Miyamura's room key.

And there are no bloodstains on his pants, hm. ]

[aumygoddess]

[ HMMMM. Okay, she'll bite. What's it say? ]

[irrationalities]

[Well, we can timeskip the clothes drying later?? But for now, those bruises have his attention. Anything particular about those bruises?]

[thecastle]

[ It's not a note, actually! It's a good luck charm, one of the ones the pond seems all too happy to spit out.

With that, that's everything in the room, but feel free to ask if you have any questions! ]

AREA CLEAR

[thecastle]

[thecastle]

[ That or wait until trial. Either or! The bruises are mostly located on his abdomen and some are overlapping each other. Other than that, Mahiro can't make out much. ]
