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?

[* Asriel wasn't really all that observant. He completely missed what that person was really like. The not-so-nice one. But through all his RESETS as a flower, he's learned to catch sight of the tiny details. They provide the biggest butterfly effects. Don't have your face exactly right? Don't pop out in exactly the right specific area? Reset and do it over again until you do.

So of course Flowey notices, looks away, then double-takes, taking a closer examination at what's on the wrist.]

[akudamods]

[This looks...

...this looks like some sort of cut. A slit, in fact, right onto the underside of the wrist. Cleanly-made, just a couple inches long. The lack of blood is what made it harder to see: it's pretty clear it's deep enough to compromise the veins, but the skin surrounding it is mostly spotless. Hm!]

[* Flowey pokes and prods at to wound briefly. to see if it holds anything more. Lessee... Couple inches long and deep enough to reach the... veins, were they called? Damnit, Flowey wishes a lot more human biology books fell into the dumb. But what he knows is what he knows.]

[* He's done with the body. There's nothing more to be made here.

* SAVE FAILED

* Hmm. Still.

* He'll search the outer perimeter (sides and back) of the building to see if he can find more clues, but not before telling Gai about the wounds he's found. So! Anything out-of-place? Any "escape routes" like a ladder or piping?]

[akudamods]

[Nothing else seems to stand out on this street or on the adjacent buildings! While there are objects and stuff that could be considered potential escape routes, there seems to be no evidence that points at them.

All in all, it seems the corpses are the only noteworthy elements around here]

[your_best_friend]

[* Hmm... The bodies being the only noteworthy is also noteworthy. A lot can be said from what isn't there. For example... Debbie didn't have her phone on her. Ebott will call it and see if anyone picks up.]

[akudamods]

[The phone rings -- the ringing coming from a pocket.

It seems her phone is there. Nothing noteworthy or strange in her pockets -- anything in them either was to be expected to be there, or is completely mundane and unrelated]

[your_best_friend]

[* Hmm... So no one swapped phones... Perhaps there's info on Debbie's phone? Flowey will briefly interrupt Gai's search to extract the phone. Is there a lock screen?]
