WEEK 4 - INVESTIGATION

INVESTIGATION

As you wake up, you'll realize that your powers have returned to you. For some, this is a joyous occasion...but even with them returned, it's only a grim reminder of the reality of the situation -

- 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: 17 PIECES
CAMPERS REMAINING: ???


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

[it's okay, this Mitsuru is bad at being comforting, too. a few deep breaths later, she speaks up]

Thank you for telling us, Ashikawa. Can you. . . tell me what the state of the body was?

[killtheanimals]

I think it was a stab wound that killed him. He was burned as well, but... Given he was in the fire pit, I suspect that might be because of Red.

[fallbymyhands]

[a slow nod, as she carefully pieces herself back together. at least, for now]

We can confirm if that's true at the campfire.

There was a large pool of blood in the field near the RV park. I found a bullet casing on the ground, and Nine found the actual bullet embedded in a tree. It looked as though that bullet was shot from one of the RVs.

We weren't able to interrogate the person within said camper, though. They were. . . ah, not interested in talking with us.

[linearcrash]

[ Why did you let Nine make suggestions, Mitsuru? ]

[killtheanimals]

I didn't see any bullet wounds... Maybe they both missed?

Though I must wonder who angered them enough to cause them to shoot.

[fallbymyhands]

. . . I don't know.

[her answer is a bit helpless]

It must have been someone by whom they felt threatened. Tatsumi was ranked a "nine" on their danger scale, after all.

[killtheanimals]

And near enough for them to do so. I assume they wouldn't normally shoot at us so long as we remained within boundaries.

[But... what was he doing over there?]

[fallbymyhands]

That's my assumption as well.

[once she's steady, she pushes herself away from Ichigo, and lifts a hand to press same against her temple]

. . . can we talk about this more tomorrow? I think I'd like to go for a walk.

[killtheanimals]

They'd make us whether we wanted to or not. ...Besides, I need to do something about this smell anyway.

[It's... really pretty awful. If he hadn't been through his experiences in Vision, he'd probably be a lot sicker right now.]

[fallbymyhands]

[yeah, it's. . . yeah. nobody likes the scent of burnt flesh]

Please clean yourself up well, Ashikawa.

[and with that, she turns on her heel and walks away]
