BLADE RUNNER [3rd Investigation]

[akudamods]

Is there such a thing as a quiet day in Kansai? Ever since the resounding crash of the radio tower above the police station, not really. Often a freed criminal or two is heard hollering around some corner. Maybe it's quiet in the sense that humbler citizens are outright wary of the X-Class Akudama. At the research hospital, at least, there's very little commotion. Do you want to just stay in bed? Were you up all night? Or is it the perfect time to awaken and get some bread?

[ Sephiroth looms over these...objects.

Anything significant about these small things that have been laid out? Or noticeable about the area around the objects? ]

[akudamods]

[This tableau is on the south side of the building by the front door, almost by the corner to the left.]

It's for wagashi, [the proprietor explains as Sephiroth looks at the completely empty bowl.] I thought the Dancer would appreciate the delicacy of them.

[For the other objects, shall he pick up and examine all four of them?]

[inspiritus]

[ Wagashi sounds like it'd be a Wutaian thing. So naturally the significance mostly bypasses him. ]

You left them out for him?

[ He will examine the objects one by one. Anything going on in particular as he does it with each of them? ]

[akudamods]

He wanted to have the tea by himself out there. I included a little extra - would you like one...?

[Optional for Sephiroth to see just what wagashi is like. Whoever ate from this bowl did so incredibly cleanly, then. The little round cup is half-full of cold green tea that likewise never spilled a drop.

The figurines are carved of stone rubble. The first is a whole sprig of camelias. Perhaps some surfaces could be even smoother, but the entire shape could be seen. The second, a nice round sunflower, likewise each petal defined well enough. The third is a smooth trunk coming out of the rest of the chunky rock. The bottom half of a tree? None of them are broken, or cursed to react in some way.]

[inspiritus]

Very well.

[ For investigative purposes.

The eating cleaning from bowl tracks, however. That seems like how Kimimaro would've done; though it's interesting the green tea isn't finished. That young man never seemed like the type to leave things unfinished...

He turns his attention to the camelias, then the rest. He supposes he'll just take them with him. ]
