Non-Peace Weekend - Investigation

[mockmods]

[Two weeks have passed since your arrival. The Researcher has delivered a pair of motives, promising to reward some or punish others if rule 7 is not enacted by the end of the week.]

[Today is Friday, the deadline for your incentives. There is no morning announcement today.]

[Maybe It's nothing, but you might notice a faint, odd metallic scent in the air as you exit your bedrooms this morning.]

[Proceed with caution, Participants.]

[clandestineideals]

[ Got up a little late, but the situation is obvious as day. What's off at first glance if anything? ]

[mockmods]

[Most obviously? This place is a fucking mess. Things are scattered all over the counter.]

[clandestineideals]

[ He can absolutely handle this, it's fiiiine. How about taking a closer look at the mess on the counter here? ]

[mockmods]

[Well, there's the knives Helena found, but it's also a lot of random pieces of junk? Like someone was using it as a workbench or tinkering station.]

[clandestineideals]

[ That's not so bad...weird, not bad, though. That's interesting, if anything. Is there anything off about these random pieces of junk other than the appearance of some work going on here or nah? ]

[mockmods]

[It's a pretty eclectic mix of parts? But otherwise, no.]

[There is other stuff on the counter, though.]

[clandestineideals]

[ He hears the blond mention she finds the knives, so he'll turn to her to acknowledge that with a nod before beginning to look at the other stuff. What else is he looking at, exactly? ]

[mockmods]

[Well, there's the wine bottle sitting on the counter, that kind of stands out among the literal junk.]

[clandestineideals]

[ Huh, okay. Is it empty/full, or is there something else going on with it? ]

[mockmods]

[It's about a quarter of the way full with a dark, viscous liquid. A small red stain trails down the side and onto the label, from the lip of the bottle.]

[clandestineideals]

[ ...Does this liquid actually smell like wine? Or is it something else entirely? ]

cw: blood

[mockmods]

[I think we both know that's definitely not wine, Shinso.]

[Though you can probably be forgiven for missing the smell of blood at first, since it's been in the air since the hallway where you found Yaiba.]

[clandestineideals]

[ ... ah.

Okay. This is Fine.

Okay who're we kidding here this is absolutely not fine, this is absolutely disgusting, holy shit. Well, he's going to be putting a little distance between himself and the bloody wine bottle. Anything else around to take notice of here? ]

[mockmods]

[Well, if you need to, you could try to wash off the gross feeling in the sink-]

[Wait. No. No.]

[That's pretty badly stained pink too. Sorry.]

[clandestineideals]

[ Hm. Don't like that.

But, might as well see if there's anything else going on besides the pink-hue in the sink since he's over here... ]

[mockmods]

[Well, if the smell is anything to go by, it definitely wasn't strawberry milkshakes someone was trying to wash away.]

[clandestineideals]

[ Yay... all of this blood. But okay, someone was trying to wash away blood. That makes sense with how everything was, really. ]

[mockmods]

[That could be a reasonable conclusion, yes.]

[There is one more thing on the counter that seems blood free, at least?]

[clandestineideals]

[ And what would that be? ]

[mockmods]

[It's a pack of cigarettes. At least one has been smoked and crushed out onto the countertop. Rude!]

[clandestineideals]

[ What the...? Rude.

...we all set here or is there anything else? ]

[mockmods]

[You're set! Unless you want to make something for breakfast.]
