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.]

Hmm.

[ And she snaps a photo of that, then gets closer and takes it from another angle. She's never been on this side of the investigation, precisely, but she assumes this is how it's done, and if Sarah, who isn't even real, can go through the motions of the late, soulless Elizabeth Childs, so too can she. Are they bloody?

OH YEAH and also a very helpful aside to Shinso: ]

Hello. I found the knives.

[mockmods]

[Very good teamwork, Helena! Penny will probably note that. Or she would, if she were here.]

[But there is approximately all the blood on these knives. It's splashed across the blades and handles, and it's smeared onto the counter the knives are resting on.]

[doppelanger]

Messy.

[ An understatement! But does it look like random splatter all over, or are there any signs of a human (or, uh, sentient and metaphorical) hand involved here? Grip prints on the handles? Any kind of trail leading to or from the counter? And (once she photographs them again), are they just as coated on the undersides when she flips a few of them over? ]

[mockmods]

[The stuff on the handles might be grip prints, might not be? It's pretty smeared, but doesn't look like it's been spattered on, the way it was for the blades. Which look to be equally bloody on both sides, for those that are stained.]

[doppelanger]

[ Oh boy, let's snap a picture of that too! We're having fun here! What's the biggest knife, by the way? Could any of them alone conceivably almost decapitate a beast boy with the cereals? ]

[mockmods]

[There's some varying sizes here, and some might be able to take off a head on their own, with enough time and effort.]

[doppelanger]

[ Anything else on them, if she looks closer, or is it just a bunch of blood?

Also for the record she is 100% hunched over the bloody knife pile, just staring. ]

[mockmods]

[Just a whole bunch of bloody kitchen knives, sorry.]

[doppelanger]

[ Welp, time to get the biggest ones out to the crime scene!! WAIT that's a lie, she's going to take that wine bottle from Shinso's thread and kind of shake it a little to see how coagulated the blood is, first. But after that! ]

[Still all nice and liquidy, but please see our Discord messages re: scientific accuracy.]
