Fifth Investigation

[grimgrinningghosts]

[You wake up and find out that your bff necklace from Randy in pieces. Any relief that might have come from the loss of this painful gift is overshadowed by a simple fact: someone is probably dead now.

There’s no point trying to be optimistic. At this point you’re probably well aware that nothing good could possibly happen on a Friday.

Do you want to investigate?]

Comments

[angelgoatdemon]

[Was it caused by a pair of hands or some kind of rope burn?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[It looks like it came from a pair of hands.]

[angelgoatdemon]

[Oh boy, the killer must've had their work cut out for him. He's gonna compare with his hand-hooves-

How big might the hands or bruises be?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Average adult human sized.]

[angelgoatdemon]

[That rules out the kids and teens, at least. Is there anything else on or around the body to note?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Kit's face is a deep shade of blue now. No prizes if you guess how that happened.

... Also there is something weird with his hands.]

[angelgoatdemon]

[Zooms in on his hands. Is there something on them or is the posture off?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[There are some small, mostly healed cuts on his fingers.]

[angelgoatdemon]

[Oof- Is there a pattern to the cuts?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Nope! No pattern whatsoever.]

[angelgoatdemon]

[He better write it down, just to be thorough.

Is there anything else in proximity to the body?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Well...

You remember that magic wand Kit tried using a few weeks ago and summoned The Meats(tm)?]

[angelgoatdemon]

[MMMMMMMMM boy he sure does! Is it there? Is it broken?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[It is! Snapped in half, in fact.]

[angelgoatdemon]

[Rip in pieces... Here he was, hoping to loot it.

Is there anything more to note about the wand or body?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[There are a few things to note about the wand.

The break is completely clean. Almost unusually clean.]

[angelgoatdemon]

[Like someone snapped it in half with their hands or something else?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Not... exactly. The wand was made out of wood and if someone snapped it with their hands, the break wouldn't be as clean as this cut is.]

[angelgoatdemon]

[Would it be a case of magic misfire (again) or someone took an axe or something sharp to it?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[It's hard to tell what happened to make it cut so cleanly, actually.]

[angelgoatdemon]

[He's almost tempted to try the broken wand, but it's best to settle keeping it for evidence.

Is there anything more to note?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[There's a distinct lack of fingerprints on the wand too.]

[angelgoatdemon]

[Holy shit

Are there any fibers, like someone having used a glove or something of the sort?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Nope! Nothing like that at all.]
