Second Investigation

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Another week has come and gone and there’s already been one body this week. But unlike last week, nothing seems immediately off as you exit your bedrooms. Maybe no one else died this week…?

Investigate?]

[This poor dear. Ford looks grimly up at Tadashi.]

She fought it.

[He goes back to take a closer look at the bruises. Are they any particular shape? Hand? Finger?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[It's hard to tell, unfortunately.]

[sixfingeredstan]

[Hmph. Inconclusive. Where are the bruises located?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Her arms and body, mostly.]

[sixfingeredstan]

[Ford pulls out his notebook and makes a few notes about her injuries. He does another scan. Anything else out of place on her?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[There is a good amount of blood running down her dress and... there also appears to be blood on her hands.]

[sixfingeredstan]

[This is hard to look at. Ford is having flashbacks to Anna, which was all too soon for his comfort.

His brow furrows, and he muses aloud:]

Was she trying to stem the flow of her wound, I wonder?

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Perhaps, but her hands aren't bloody enough to just be from trying to stop the blood.]

[sixfingeredstan]

[Ford glances around, hoping to see any out-of-place objects near Sophie's body.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Besides the pool cue Wander took, nothing off seems to be around her body, well, at least around her.]

[sixfingeredstan]

[Hmm.


...What about under her?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Not under her, either, but something seems to be sticking out of her dress pockets.]

[sixfingeredstan]

[THAT'S ON HER ISN'T IT!!!]

What's this?

[Gingerly, Ford reaches for the object sticking out of Sophie's pocket. A clue..?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[It's a note. Thankfully, it's not covered in blood.]

[sixfingeredstan]

Holy moses—

[He studies it for a moment. What does it say?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[It reads:

Meet me in the music room tonight, we need to talk.

It's unsigned.]

[sixfingeredstan]

[Well that's certainly something! Is there anything particularly notable about the handwriting?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Well it's definitely hand written. Nothing seems especially notable about it otherwise.]

[sixfingeredstan]

[Ford tucks it carefully between the pages of his notebook, and does another once-over of Sophie's body. Anything else sticking out of her pockets, or in her hands?]
