Second.

Between Truth or Dare and the resistance meeting, it seems things have been going reasonably well this week; at the same time, there have been fights here and there, and the Conductor's incentive has certainly been something to take into consideration as well. So there's been some good, and some bad, and some things that no one is talking about; the clock chimes on Friday morning, as it always does, and the doors to the kitchen and the mail room unlock. Of course, those wandering past the incinerator room will notice that it's...warm in there. Really warm? ...Oh. Blessedly enough, there isn't a body in the room, and the incinerator isn't large enough to destroy one, so this room can probably be left alone for now; however, just because there isn't a body here doesn't mean that everything is clear and no one has anything to hide. You might want to look around. >Explore?

BALLROOM

[trustmods]

[you kids need to stop killing each other in here]

[zomgboom]

[IS THE KEY ON THE BODY or is she just feeling up a corpse for no reason.]

[perpend]

[Tabby, the police officer is standing right there.]

[ninehundredlives]

Will somebody please take Blue out of here?

[SHE'S LOOKING AT YOU BODY-GROPER]

[forcegalactic]

...I can try takin' her to her room if someone helps me carry her.

[zomgboom]

[SHE IS GOING TO LOOK FOR CLUES.

it just happens that she's also going to steal granny's shit count everything as a clue. yes. that. it's fine to take stuff if it's evidence, right??]

[oftheland]

[...okay first. you know. let's... see if that blood is dry or wet. surreptitiously. with a cotton swab.]

[trustmods]

[...Are you seriously getting all up in the general business of what sure did used to be Byakuren's head, or...where are you checking, exactly.]

[oftheland]

[...the puddle of blood in the general area of what used to be her head, yes, that precisely

he doesn't want to touch too much brain matter that's gross]

[perpend]

[Apparently the Inspector is doing what he does best here, because he's going to be stooping down and trying to figure out what kind of blow to the head she took.

This is pretty horrible looking no matter what it was.]

[trustmods]

[It's pretty horrible-looking indeed. The side of her skull is crushed in, with the temple taking most of the damage - whomever is responsible for this, at least they didn't go to town on her face.

Given that you are an investigator who presumably knows his shit, though, Cabanela, you can probably tell that it was repeated blunt force trauma.]

[perpend]

[Well, that's.... pretty disgusting, isn't it?

Is there enough blood here to make it obvious if she was killed here, or has the body been moved like last week?]

[nankurunaisa]

[Hibiki's going to wander in. Of course, seeing as how that's obviously her second body to experience over there, she's going to stand off to the side for now.

Is there any evidence on the peripherals of the room she might notice while trying to avert her eyes?]

[trustmods]

[There's a lot of broken porcelain on the far side of the room, away from the piano. You want to go look at that?]

[nankurunaisa]

[Better shards of porcelain than shards of skull. That'll be the first thing she does, yep.]

[shuttermouse]

[ Well, when Chie's done taking pictures of the body she will be taking a closer look at the broken porcelain. ]

[trustmods]

[There is admittedly kind of a lot of it in here, good lord.

There are some shards near where Byakuren is lying, and there's a bunch on the far side of the room. Which are you wanting to look at?]

[shuttermouse]

[ Let's start with the ones near the body. ]

[heymcfly]

[ Marty's going to be brave and look around! He's no detective and it's painfully obvious; he's shaking like a leaf! ]

[trustmods]

[Hey there, Marty.

If you don't want to check out the crime scene itself (understandable, because wow that sure did used to be a head and even the actual police and medical professional are looking kind of linefacey at it), there's something to be found on the periphery of the room; it looks like someone might have left something. Want to go take a look?]

[heymcfly]

[ Sounds like a good idea!

Marty ignores how incredibly sick he feels, moving from the center of the room and slowly moving outwards. Some people are in groups, but he tends to stick more to himself. It's not easy for a seventeen year old to come across a scene where someone's skull didn't really look like one anymore.

He leans up against the wall, thinking about how much he wanted to be home in 1985 (shit, or even 1955) rather than here. His eyes look near where the floor meets the wall, carefully moving one little step at a time.

Re: BALLROOM

[icysemblance]

[CAN WE HAVE A WEEK WITHOUT SOMEONE'S DEAD BODY IN HERE

but no, she's going to look at the piano.]

[trustmods]

[APPARENTLY NOT

THE CONDUCTOR GAVE YOU A BALLROOM ON THE FIRST WEEK AND LOOK AT WHAT YOU KIDS DID WITH IT

...anyway.

The piano's looking like it was hit with something, though it's not something particularly rough; it's not scraped so much as it is looking like it got dented. Fortunately it's a heavy enough instrument to not flip over or anything, but it's kind of had a morning.]

[icysemblance]

[How big is that dent, and are the keys and pedals damaged?]
