DIE HARD [1st Investigation]

[akudamods]

It's been almost a week since the X-Class Akudama found themselves in Dotonbori, and the days since Bunny and Shark's little announcement have gone on, seemingly falling on deaf ears. But now, as the sun begins to rise and turn the hanging smog red across the sky, it truly seems that blood is in the air. Not a soul is around on the streets... who will be the first to venture out?

[ Welp, too bad, but lucky for everyone he's here to be the medical examiner!!

...As soon as he finishes that croissant. That's what Marcille would want anyway, right?


Aaand when that's done he's going to start by taking a look at her. So. How is she positioned on the ground here? ]

Re: KARAOKE BAR - ROOFTOP (6 CLUES)

[fixingtodie]

[Rachel will take the rooftop. It's her first time up here so she'll give everything a cursory look before diving into details.]

[fixingtodie]

Okay. I'll be there soon.

[And true to her word, she hurries to the karaoke place as quickly as she can, once she figures out where it is.]

[hunterandhunted]

[After seeing the announcement and message from Flowey, Zenos will head back upstairs. It's time to see some corpses! Oh, but first, he stops into the pharmacy because why not.

If someone's already in here he can talk about this with them.]

[fixingtodie]

[Two times the coffee for two times the bodies.]

Re: TATTOO PARLOR (2 CLUES)

<sub>[Jake is flooring it to where the two died when suddenly, he stopped right in front of the tattoo parlor.

Well... if he's going to do anything, it'll be useful. There could be clues anywhere...

First, is there anything outside?]</sub>

[your_best_friend]

[* Well then.

...

It occurs to Flowey he's actually never investigated a human corpse before. And there wasn't many media that represented or depicted body searching, so, uh... Flowey's just gonna wing it, first snapping a couple of photos of the bodies. He knows to do that much. Then he'll...

uh...

Check for any wounds? Flowey assumes human wounds look noticeable.]

[akudamods]

[Perhaps it's because of the grim discovery not too far away that one would expect to see gory findings. Blood and carnage are associated with injuries, death and corpses, after all.

Is it any surprise that, as soon as one steps foot onto the rooftop, all the blood is what stands out right away? Better get going, Rachel! To the other side of the rooftop!]

EVIDENCE

[akudamods]

[It's quiet in here. The drones are quiet enough that Zenos might even simply shove them out of his way. Boxes of supplies and tools, shelves of supplies and tools.

One of these boxes is on the floor right in front of a shelf.]

[voidseeing]

[Looks like Rideaux has Marcille covered, so Gai is going to be taking a look at Debbie. He's not thrilled at how young she obviously is, but better him doing this than anyone else, he figures...

Starting off: what's the positioning look like?]

[hunterandhunted]

[A box on the floor when this place is usually so uptight? Color him interested. Any bots in his way are indeed shoved aside, or more like, he just kind of walks and kicks them if they so happen to be in his path.

Anyways, he crouches down to check out the box. Is it open?]

EVIDENCE

[akudamods]

[There sure is something outside! Several marks on the wall, right at Jake's eye level: six feet high They are an inch in diameter.]

[mrfuckwit]

_{[ Since Marcille is the one he knew better and was starting to like, that's who he goes to first. He's not a medical examiner by any means; you know he's just an angsty teen. ]}

What the hell happened to her..!? Who did this!?

[fixingtodie]

[Of course there's blood everywhere............ better take a picture of the scene for evidence anyway before she maneuvers to the other side.

So. What have we got... pools of blood? Trails? What happened with all this blood.]

[akudamods]

[I'm sure Marcille is absolutely delighted the coroner taking care of her body leisurely enjoys a breakfast in the vicinity of her corpse. Rideaux continues being himself, hah!

Once this rushed breakfast is finished, it's corpse-checking time! Marcille's sprawled body is lying on the sidewalk, one arm under the torso, face down. All of her limbs are positioned awkwardly -- thankfully none of them broken to the point of showing bones, but they're certainly not okay.

There's little blood under her body, though. No more than a small stain or two]

[depleting]

[ Given that sunrise is vampire bedtime, Satsuki stumbles out of her room half-awake. But this seems really important, so she's here...

She is not going to touch the bodies, instead passing them by to the inside of the bar and once more using her sensitive nose to try and see if there are any interesting scents (such as blood) that lead anywhere in particular (like a blood trail). ]

[akudamods]

[Seeing how Rideaux is currently examining Marcille, are you going to handle Debbie's, then?]

Re: EVIDENCE

[conways_retribution]

_{[He'll leave the speculation for later. For now, he'll just snap a photo of those marks. Is that it for the outside? Because if so, then his next move is to go inside the parlor and ask around.]}

[pr159]

[ Putting the croissant wrapper in his pocket so no one can get on his ass about littering... ]

That's what I'm intending to find out. You don't have a problem with that, do you?

[your_best_friend]

[* Yes, he'll look at Debbie's.]

[mrfuckwit]

No, I don't have a problem with that! I just--!

_{[ Oh my god, he's giving her a closer look. Not touching though. He feels his heart sink and his stomach twist. Old habits die hard, especially when it's those of compassion for someone he wasn't human. We remembers Marcille talking about that when they were eating noodles together. She was different just like he is. Just thinking that could be a part of a person's motives makes his blood boil. Hoo boy. He's gonna get mad. ]}

Who could have done such a thing to her!? Look at her billboard! She didn't deserve to die compared to the rest of us!

[akudamods]

[Hello to Debbie!

She's kind of curled on the sidewalk, just a couple meters away from Marcille -- lying on a side. Absolutely no blood is found under her body.

Overall the positioning is a little less broken than Marcille's, but were she alive, she'd still feel the strain of trying to hold her limbs in such an awkward position]

[pr159]

[ If Akira's taking crime scene photos, he'll let him get a few of those here before he makes any move to disrupt the scene.

So, okay, the relative lack of blood is definitely notable given the cause of death on the police report. Aside from the broken limbs, are there any injuries visible on her in her current position? Or are we not going to see anything notable until we turn her over? ]

[akudamods]

[The one scrawny guy who had a chat with Akira is not here yet. He must not have locked up last night, since you got in here. Stuff like the chair and floor seems normal. Maybe examine the supplies?]

[conways_retribution]

_{[Examine the supplies, definitely.]}
