[petoskeymods]

INVESTIGATION

You've got all your senses back, but with the return of them comes a grim, familiar knowledge -

- that one of your fellow campers have committed murder.

Someone is dead. It's up to you to find out who...and to gather evidence for it.

BASE EVIDENCE: 16 PIECES
CAMPERS REMAINING: ???


((We ask that you remain in groups of 2-3! As per usual.))

[ Boa comes here every morning to run laps because he's a terrible jock and he loves sports. Or rather sports are directly tied into his sense of self-worth, but y'know....

He's already aware someone must be dead, but he's not particularly looking for a body because the last two weeks...? That meant brains. Boa's sick of brains. ]

[le_mat]

[Ren meanders this way too, remembering it alight eith fireflies last week and feeling ill]

Anything?

[petoskeymods]

[Someone appears to be laying out in the field as if they're sunbathing, so there's that. Hmm.

Maybe go wake them up? It's too early for sunbathing.]

[finalguard]

... seems so.

[ Does that person seem to have their head still attached? Hopefully, because Boa's going to walk over and check on them. ]

[le_mat]

[Ren follows, ready to move Boa Away if needed]

[killtheanimals]

[Mitsuru strides over. Being able to hear things again really is nice.]

Who is it?

[petoskeymods]

[It's easy to mistake her as just laying there, because at a first glance she doesn't look hurt at all. It looks like she's peacefully laying in the grass in her back, sunglasses on, with her arms tucked behind her head. But on a second look, it's clear that she's not breathing, and there's a lot of strange black stuff on her. It will only take one touch to confirm that she is indeed cold and lifeless.

Clarke Griffin is dead.]

[finalguard]

[ Boa gives her a look over and then wordlessly kneels down and does this touch - he feels her neck for pulse and there isn't any.

Then he turns back to the other two and just shakes his head.

He feels oddly calm. After the last two weeks and with all his experiences at home, this just makes him feel nothing. ]

[le_mat]

Shit...did Red pose the body again?

[he checks the black... stuff]

[killtheanimals]

[...Right, here we go again. A sacrificial lamb to sate the desires of that abominable voice.

Mitsuru will telekinetically remove the glasses and begin examining for injuries, calm as ever.]

[petoskeymods]

[Well the first thing he's going to notice is that there's this black stuff all over her, primarily concentrated on her side and around her mouth. That's a pretty big thing right there, yep.

As for actual injuries, her leg is most definitely broken. Even moving it slightly will show that, since it immediately bends into an odd angle. To find the rest of her injuries you'll have to move clothes and risk touching black stuff.]

[finalguard]

[ Does the black stuff smell of anything? If Boa's still kneeling next to her he may just find that out now.

Other than checking for that, he's still pretty blank-faced. ]

[killtheanimals]

[Why touch things when you have telekinesis tho.]

Careful. I'm going to move her shirt to check the wound.

[He will wait to make sure the other two aren't in danger of touching it before he attempts to telekinetically shift her shirt to make that side wound visible.]

[le_mat]

Be careful. If it's a chemical the smell might be dangerous too.

[petoskeymods]

[It smells like blood.

When Mitsuru lifts the shirt a bit, he'll see a large wound on Clarke's side. It looks like something pretty large stabbed into her side. It's not a clean cut either, this was done roughly and with some trauma to the area.

There's also a fair bit of bruising along what he can see if her backside there. Maybe he should flip her over and check her back?]

[finalguard]

Blood...?

[ THAT'S VERY DARK BLOOD; CLARKE.

Boa explains this confusion out loud and then steps back to let Mitsuru do his thing. The wound looks a bit more upsetting than the body itself does, but it's nowhere near as bad as others have been, so Boa just keeps looking at it with interest. ]

[killtheanimals]

Blood?

[He echoes the word, tilting his head curiously. Maybe she ingested something that could react chemically to turn it black?

Well, he can figure that out later. He doesn't expect her to get up and run away, or at least, not at this instant.]

I'm going to turn her over now.

[Which he will do because telekinesis is rad.]

[petoskeymods]

[Maybe. Also a note, the blood around her mouth looks like she coughed it up.

And then Mitsuru flips her body over and. Wow.

Torsos probably aren't supposed to flop around like that.

(Her back is HELLA broke, I mean.)

Have fun with that.]

[finalguard]

... really now?

[ Boa is so disappointed in everyone right now. ]

Is one clean death really too much to ask?

[ This shouldn't be the question he's asking, but he's jaded and just kind of mad, even if not nearly as disgusted as he could be. ]

[killtheanimals]

[He wrinkles his nose at how... floppy that is, boy, okay.]

We need to find what crushed her spine.

[le_mat]

Is there any imprint bruising? Could give us an idea of a shape and size...

[petoskeymods]

[There's bruising all over her back. It looks like she hit it hard, and that's probably what broke her back.

But it also looks like she got hit on her her side at the same time? Because of the wound and everything. So it's hard to tell exactly which way killed her, because it looks like she got hit in two places at the same time somehow. Hmm. Odd.]

[finalguard]

... did she get impaled mid-fall somewhere?

[ Since yeah, this body placement screams of Red intervention and is probably not natural at all.

Boa steps a bit closer to the levitating body to get a better look at the side wound. How large is it? ]

[le_mat]

Or someone jumped on her and stabbed her once she hit the ground...?

[le_mat]

[Ren makes a unhappy sound at that- does it look like its her blood? Is her wound black with it or more like she was splashed with someone else's blood?]
