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?

INCINERATOR

[trustmods]

[charcoalfeather]

[SO, RAKKA IS STILL IN HERE, and probably not going to check out the ballroom if anyone tells her what's happened.

So, let's just take a look at that incinerator instead, okay?]

[trustmods]

[Probably your best bet, Rakka. The incinerator is still warm... but is that what you'd like to look at or is there something else you'd prefer to examine?]

[charcoalfeather]

[Still warm... Huh.

To be completely honest, Rakka has no idea what to look for in this room, but the thing that holds fire and can burn things seems worth looking into.

....Are the signs she and Byakuren put up still there?]

[trustmods]

[Where were the signs? They weren't taped over the door to the incinerator, were they?]

[charcoalfeather]

[Looking back.... it's unclear. SO SURE LET'S GO WITH THAT]

[trustmods]

[...It might just be easier to say they were elsewhere, since the incinerator has been used... Maybe somewhere over the top of the door, that way it can be seen?]

[charcoalfeather]

[That seems like a better idea.]

[trustmods]

[Then no, the signs are still intact! It looks like Ashley's got something interesting though...]

[charcoalfeather]

[Thank goodness! She'll have to tell Byakuren about tha-oh.

wait.]

[hashtagafreakingghost]

[So guess who's not looking forward to seeing a body again, this girl!! No blood, please, no dead bodies, too many for one week, you know?

Ashley, therefore, follows the heat from the incinerator after the announcement goes off. There's already Rakka here, it's...good to see her, even though she knows that's not her title. She's very determined to actually do something this week. What's off in this room?]

[trustmods]

[The incinerator is still warm obviously, but it doesn't look like there's anything out of place. Are you interested in investigating the incinerator?]

[hashtagafreakingghost]

[Sure, why not, let's jump right in and do that. She walks on up and- let's be careful about this, how warm are we talking here? Like it'll-burn-you-if-you-touch-it warm?]

[trustmods]

[It won't burn you, no! It's still pretty warm though, so you might want to be careful.]

[hashtagafreakingghost]

[Duly noted. If only she'd worked on her gloves earlier... Ashley cautiously examines. Obviously someone tried to destroy something in here, so- is the door to the incinerator open?]

[trustmods]

[It is not open, no! But would you really leave the door open when something's burning in there? No way. Do you want to look inside?]

[hashtagafreakingghost]

[WELL NO, but you never know. Yes, let's look inside. What's in the incinerator?]

[trustmods]

[Before you pull the door all the way open, you might notice a scrap of cloth caught in it.]

[hashtagafreakingghost]

[Oh! A clue! ...If only she had bags, okay, let's remove that. What's it look like?]

[trustmods]

[It's a scrap of black cloth! Nothing too interesting there... except the scent...]

[hashtagafreakingghost]

[...don't tell me someone with the great perfume fucking murdered someone oh my god

What's it smell like?]

[trustmods]

[Blueberries! It has a really nice scent...]

[hashtagafreakingghost]

[Oh gosh, seriously like?? How can something smell this nice, it's not even remotely fair.]

Huh... Weird.

[and let's continue the investigating with rakka, hold one moment]

[charcoalfeather]

...Ashley? [Good to see that there was someone else investigating things here with her. And not that murder party in the ballroom.]

Did you find something?
