Fifth Investigation

[stagemanagers]

[This week being what it is, some of you probably aren't quite asleep right now.

So when the morning hour rolls around, you may be the ones to hear the sound of the stairwell doors clicking open again.

Maybe someone should go check that out.]

[allicareabout]

[Is the difference that implies more than one set in size or something else?]

[stagemanagers]

[Well, they're differently placed, but some of the prints do seem larger.]

[allicareabout]

[All right.

It's hard to tell what's going on with the prints otherwise, though, right? In that it's hard to say why they're on her to begin with?]

[stagemanagers]

[At this point, everything is generally pretty bloody.

They are all centered over the wound, though.]

[allicareabout]

[...Great. All right, duly noted.

Let's...check her hands really quickly, just to make sure there's nothing going on there - is she holding anything, is there damage that should be noticeable?]

[stagemanagers]

[Her hands are definitely bloodied, but upon inspection there does not seem to be any actual damage to them.]

[allicareabout]

[Good to know! That's...good...to know. Haha. Ha. Fuck.

Okay. So. Since he is in fact running on three days with no sleep and he's more than a little fucked up right now, he's just going to be doing another spot check on the body because it's entirely possible he's missing something. Is there something else off about the blood on her, is there blood in any places it shouldn't logically be, is there another noticeable wound entirely. Did someone hit her with a teapot just to add insult to injury. Who the fuck had a working gun. When the hell did he lose control of his life.]

[stagemanagers]

[Natalie's eyes are shut. There's very tiny traces of blood on them.]

[allicareabout]

[...Oh, that's happy.

How's the rest of her expression looking? Presumably her eyes were closed by someone else, but everything else?]

[stagemanagers]

[.....I mean, she doesn't look too thrilled to be here? There's dried tear tracks on her cheeks.]

[allicareabout]

[WELL YES PRESUMABLY NOT-

...Actually that does clear up something that was being indirectly asked so it's appreciated o/

Anything else that I'm overlooking?]

[stagemanagers]

[Awesome, I had no clue what you were angling for! \o/

There's a little puddle of blood next to the body - very close, but not quite part of the general larger pool Natalie's lying in. Hopefully you haven't been kneeling in it or anything, um.]

[allicareabout]

[...Are you kidding, these pants are expensive.

Anyway, does the blood look like it was dripped down, or does it seem to have come from somewhere else that's discernible?]

[stagemanagers]

[It looks like it dripped for somewhere or other, but there's no obvious source.

There's also a few more scattered blood droplets trailing off down the hall in the direction of the bathrooms.]

[allicareabout]

[...jesus christ, hans was right

we are going to leave this trial the same way we entered the world, naked and screaming

anyway.

i...am actually being called away for a couple of hours, if there is anything else you can feel free to pass it off to raoul, my apologies for the sudden disruption]

[stagemanagers]

[All that's left in this area atm is BulletQuest 2k16 and Raoul's on that anyway, you're totally good!]
