Week 6: Investigation

At around 2 in the morning, a steady rain of hail started to cover the town of Cartesio. The night continued, however, with the motel unbothered, aside from the plink-plink on the roof and windows.

This morning, you'll find the weather's started to let up, though the streets are still blanketed by hail. Mercifully, that's all that's outside the motel this morning. No corpses, no robot remains. That alone should make you feel better, right?

But no. It seems...the town's very alert this morning. There's a strange energy in the air, not just from the Sergeant's horrible threat. Something's off in Cartesio, and you probably recognize that feeling. This has happened four times before, after all.

Investigate?

[ I'm sure this is fine..... let's go check the park for anything, surely Everything is Fine, right ]

[cartesio]

[ Everything is Fine! Enjoy your time in the park! ]

[quickpersuader]

[Time to begin the sweep. First stop: the junkyard.]

[cartesio]

[ Now why would there be anything strange about the junkyard? It's clear. ]

[relieable]

[hail, huh? that's different. Osomatsu's on edge this morning and he's not certain if he wants to investigate. but he doesn't really want Sakura or Natalie to find bodies.

let's start checking some of the buildings further away from the motel and work our way back. how's that ice rink?]

[cartesio]

[ Old and full of ice as usual. It's clear. ]

[protectandselfserve]

[hmmm.

How's the church reconstruction going, actually?]

[cartesio]

[ It's going! Not this morning, since the hail's made things a little difficult. There...may be a few small things off here? But let's come back to that. ]

[marmoron]

[Tense atmosphere. Fun stuff. Let's go, Cosmo. Time to go check out the library.]

[cartesio]

[ What Keith will see first are the fighter fighters running to the library on foot, calling out to each other.

Something has happened here. ]

[goturshit]

[ did anyone heck up the video store, she has to know ]

[cartesio]

[ You're fine, Kinzie. Video store's clear. ]

BODY ANNOUNCEMENT

[cartesio]

[From among the bookshelves, the Sergeant and Waver come out walking. Waver seems to be rather unhappy with the state of everything, but doesn't comment. To his side, the Sergeant shakes his head]

...that's how life goes, I guess.

[He doesn't sound very happy about things. Still, he's here to do his job. Everyone in town will hear it:]

Wayne Uedera and Osamu Dazai are dead. These are the latest victims, and now they shall be avenged. Or perhaps not? We will see. For now, start investigating, and we'll meet at the usual time at the courtroom.

Good luck.

[The Sergeant turns around, walking away with Waver and promising him he would deal with everything after the investigation time was over. Waver simply nods, not bothering to disguise the contempt he feels towards the Sergeant]

EVIDENCE LIST

[cartesio]

TOTAL: (33/33)

Abandoned Building #1: (10/10)

More bullets for Sakura
That must have hurt
Non-serrated and deadly
Not so deadly, but it hurt
And moving must have been awful
Here's why that image is in this investigation post
Blood splatters are essential in a case
Drink up me hearties yo ho
Careful not to step on it
This won't keep the rain off anymore

Library: (13/13)

This place does have sprinklers
Old scholar lamp
Based on a writer, crushed with a bookcase
Fire damage spreading from here!
There even is a diagram
A special bruise
Dazai didn't have a fun time
The kids' section didn't deserve this
Not safe for a kids' section
Waver won't be pleased
One little bullet hole
Two little bullet hole
Someone really hates oil burning lamps
And for my next trick, I'll make the glass disappear


Streets: (1/1)

It's like a path of breadcrumbs

Fire Station: (2/2)

The fire station gets a lot of sabotage
Leave the fire station alone, guys

Hunting Store: (5/5)
Now what could this be from
Maybe this?
Hunting knife missing
Matches and flint missing

Church: (2/2)

This hedge was a victim too
The hail tried to avenge the hedge

ABANDONED BUILDING #1

[cartesio]

[quickpersuader]

[Kino freezes when she hears the announcement. Dazai too?]

...did he...?

[Damn it. Still, nothing for it- there are other things to focus on now.

As promised, she will begin looking over the body, making a mental inventory of all the wounds she can find.]

[clearities]

[ mmmm hearing dazai-san is also dead is not good but she'll deal with that Later. so let's check non-body things -- what do we got at first glance? ]

AREA CLEAR

[cartesio]

LIBRARY

[cartesio]

[relieable]

[starting here, Osomatsu is going to look around near the body for anything out of the ordinary first. so there was a fire?]

[marmoron]

[SINCE OSO'S ABANDONING KEET WITH THE BODY....

Time to take a closer look at these burns and the body in general. Anything major to note?]

STREETS

[cartesio]

[marmoron]

[Alrighto, the diebrary was an experience. Time to try and clear his and young Cosmo's heads of that wonderful final impression Dazai has gifted them with.

He'll be headed out of the library, letting the space wolf lead the way. Who knows if there are other things that've been left strewn about. Cosmo, do your thing. Is there any particular place he'd want to go?]

FIRE STATION

[cartesio]

[amburere]

[ The firemen running on foot catch Dabi's attention, so might as well wander to the fire station to see what's up.

Anything immediately off? ]

HUNTING STORE

[cartesio]

[relieable]

[after picking through the library, and making notes on what he's seen, Osomatsu starts checking other places around town.

let's see, what's immediately out of place here?]

CHURCH

[cartesio]

[protectandselfserve]

[oh, thank god, now he doesn't have to deal with dazai threatening to murder hostages anymore

i mean, uh

WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE CHURCH. HE'S HERE.]
