second investigation

[stagemanagers]

[Friday has come around once again, and once again, things might seem a little off to the performers.

A little bit of deja vu starts to rear its head, and those anticipating the smell of blood will definitely get their fix as they approach the lobby.

>Investigate?]

Comments

[dechagny]

[Oh, no.

All Raoul wanted to do today was try to cook a breakfast in the kitchen, but the now familiar scent of blood hits him as he approaches the lobby. You're damn right he's going to investigate, hurrying inside to look around.

What's there to see in the lobby?]

[stagemanagers]

[There's a lot of things to see in the lobby! Glittering crystal chandeliers, the familiar stolid bulk of the merchandise booth, a pair of bodies lying at the foot of the stairs...]

[solomonjihad]

[...Oh god.

No. No no no no--

Astarte just wants to not have death. Why did this happen? Why--

She stumbles into the lobby, seeing the bodies, and falling to her knees.]

No...

[Please, don't let her friend be dead. Is...is it her friend?]

[dechagny]

Oh no-

[He's going to assume that's where the smell of blood is coming from and hurry over to the bodies, kneeling beside them. Anything immediately recognizable that'd tip him off as to who's there?]

[allicareabout]

[...You know what, Billy's not exactly here to get his fix here because wow, but at the same time, he can't say that a corpse wasn't anticipated given the time limit given during the motive.

Two of them is a little much, though, and his hand immediately finds his temple like he's warding off a migraine.]

Great, we're overachieving now.

[Might as well go see who it is - and how they're arranged, like are they just kind of, uh. ...Are we looking at an uncoordinated pile or are they next to each other or are they posed romantically or what.]

[aflatouttahell]

[OH GOOD, MORE DEATH!!!]

Oh no...

[TIME TO... GO SEE WHO'S DEAD 2DAY]

INVESTIGATION START

[tellthestory]

Jesus...

[The word is hushed, as if the Balladeer didn't quite mean for it to get picked up by the intercom. A second later, he clears his throat and begins in a louder (if still slightly shell-shocked) tone.]

Well, um. Hime Shirayuki and Gabe Goodman are dead. Everyone else is alive, there's not any more...

[.....]

...you're good to go investigate.

FIRST FLOOR LOBBY

[stagemanagers]

[allicareabout]

[...Okay, you know what, he's staying down here with Gabe because that involves being nowhere near the blue-haired kid's body, and that is sounding really preferable with regards to where he wants to be.

Since he's already got his damn hands on the corpse, a bit more won't hurt anything, probably. He's got a head wound, correct? What exactly is that looking like - bludgeoning that knocked the skin open, like someone tried to stab him in the head for some reason, some godforsaken third option...?]

[stagemanagers]

[As much as we would love to confirm a godforsaken third option, this looks like bludgeoning. There appears to only be one large wound on the back of his head, as if he was hit with a good deal of force.]

[trettende]

[ Yeah, staying away from Hime's body sounds like a good idea to him. Hans will stay downstairs as well, and if Billy wants to give a pass at the dummy that may have been the murder weapon, Hans is going in for a closer look. Are there any signs that the dummy was in fact used on Gabriel? ]

[irreprochable]

[javert look for any kind of trail leading away from the body, be it blood or wood spliters or water. some kind of indication of where the killer came from or went to.]

AREA CLEAR

STAIRCASE

[stagemanagers]

[dechagny]

[You know what? He's here. Hime...'s body...is here. He can't take the bitter, hot feeling in his stomach that makes him sick to think of who would kill either of these two people - but he knew Hime best, and it's Hime's death Raoul wants some serious retribution for.

Let's check Hime's body. Any obvious wounds or abnormalities?]

AREA CLEAR

SECOND FLOOR LOBBY

[stagemanagers]

[robitussin]

[She's still angry, fiercely angry and hurt, but that only makes her more determined. As she enters the lobby, she looks around for anything immediately out of place.]

[irreprochable]

[javert has come to the second floor lobby to look for clues! he's going to start by checking some of the lush red velvet couches while the girls investigate the rope]

AREA CLEAR

[stagemanagers]

KITCHEN

[stagemanagers]

[sunshineprincess]

[Nope. Nope. Nope.

Anna needs water. She needs something. She needs the kitchen. She's gonna step in and stop...

What's going on in here?]

[littlegirl_littlecurl]

[Darla's going to the kitchen too. There's just so much happening out there...

She's sees they have the fridge covered. What about the stove?]
