Mock Victim

[grimgrinningghosts]

[It’s Friday. Your first week stuck in Doomville is almost up. While Judge Doom’s motive was certainly big, it’s hard to judge, for lack of a better term, if he could manage to change anyone’s past, let alone your own. So maybe you forgot about it, or maybe you’re so caught up with the “what if’s” that it hangs over you as you wake up today.

However, as you leave your dressing room, you may find that the door to Edgar’s Room is mysteriously ajar. While it was open for investigation yesterday, it seems more open than it was yesterday.

Investigate?]

BODY INVESTIGATION

[returntodarkness]

[ FINE. With the potential threat of his own destruction hanging over his head, he's going to begin examining the body. First of all, he's making note of its current state and posture. Then, he'll actually remove it to look over the wounds and for anything else suspicious. ]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Perry is awkwardly laying on his side, and, despite all the blood, one can clearly see that Perry's face is frozen in a state of pure shock.]

[returntodarkness]

[ Noted. So whoever did this was either a complete surprise to Perry, or did something the little guy didn't expect. Fine. Removing the body. He'll give a look over the trunk after setting it aside because, you know, the murderer might have left something behind. If there's nothing, he's going to give his attention to feeling over Perry's body for any broken bones along with the obvious bloody wound. ]

[Despite the bloody wound, Perry's body seems to be in pretty good condition.

But wow, that sure is a large wound on his head.]

[returntodarkness]

[ While he's handling the body, roughly what weight range is the damn teal platypus gonna be in. Since there are a few people who are tiny and it's probably a good idea to get a measure of how easily he might have been moved. As for the wound, definitely looking that over. ]

And now I have to look up facts about platypi

[grimgrinningghosts]

[He's about 4-5 pounds. Maybe not the lightest thing in the world, but pretty lightweight.

Looking closer, the wound appears to be some sort of stab wound.]

I'm sorry but I'm not

[returntodarkness]

[ Okay, noted. ...Well. Sure is a stab wound. About how big is it? ]

Re: I'm sorry but I'm not

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Reasonably big. It very clearly pierced through his skull.]

[returntodarkness]

[ all right, then. Anything else he might notice? ]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Besides everything else, Perry's hands are balled into fists.]

[returntodarkness]

[ Hands. Paws? Okay, he's going to actually try and see if there's anything in those. Maybe he's holding something. PROBABLY NOT, BUT. ]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Actually there is! In one of his fists, there is a small, folded note in his hand.

Read it?]

[returntodarkness]

[ Read it. ]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Written on it, it just says HE'S NOT WHO HE SEEMS.]

[returntodarkness]

[ ...He'd say that refers to him, but. Hm. Interesting. He's going to take that note and keep it on hand, then. Anything else? ]
