WEEK FIVE - Investigation

the pygmalion. . .

ONLINE




CAPTAIN'S LOG:
WEEK (5)

friday

(?) survivors


Friday comes, and with it, the return of alarms for all the late-risers out there; those up before 9:00 AM will have an alarm-free morning. This one thankfully is a pretty gentle duet, the soft keys jangling you awake. It's not as invasive as some of the previous alarms, as once it ends, it just ends. It doesn't keep playing until you leave your room. If you check your datapad again, however, it will play the song again. It seems it's beckoning you somewhere, somehow, and you feel drawn to explore the ship, however anxious you may be.

Tentatively, you leave your safe haven.

[He's spent enough time in the nasty ass pool to last him one lifetime, so no thanks. He'll let Machias help him out, and hopefully they'll be able to put the corpse down somewhere they can take a better look before the robots come collect the "evidence".]

The body's pretty cold, but I've got no idea if it's from taking a dip in the pool of it's because she's been dead for a while. Obfuscating the time of death might be the reason they sunk her. Or, it could be something else.

[No way to tell at this point. Assuming they've successfully set the body down somewhere, he's going to want to quickly check for any additional injuries on Carta.]

Unless the killer picked it up or kicked it into the pool. [But if this is the murder weapon, there should be some evidence that it was discharged...] Carta Issue's profile listed a handgun as her item. Even if it's not the murder weapon, this might be it.

[adrien crouches as he looks at the puddle of blood resists the initial urge to touch the puddle. he resists. is it straight up a puddle or does it look splattered at all? how much water is there? enough for it to be caused by the splash of someone falling in/being pushed in for example...]

Is there any way to check if it's hers?

There's one way to find out. For now, we should confirm whether or not it was actually discharged - we don't want to jump to conclusions.

[ He's going to check right now and he's going to do it carefully, which means keeping it pointed in a safe area. First, let's examine the gun's exterior for anything notable, such as who made it. Even Reinford made orbal guns have their own means of indicating their brand. This one might (or might not) be gunpowder based, but supposedly it should be no different either way. Supposedly.

Next, let's check for the safety. Is it on or off? After that, let's remove the magazine and pull back the slide. Is the magazine still full or does it show signs of being used? If so, any shell casing popping out when pulling back the slide? ]

[GOOD BYE, CORPSE ISSUE.]

Two ways, actually. But only if one of you know how to perform a séance.

[Jason, somebody just died. Don't be an asshole??

But now that the corpse is gone and he trusts Machias can do a pretty thorough inspection of that gun, it's time to see if there's any other evidence around here. Are there any casings in the water? Or if he takes a look around the shed, will there be anything missing?]

... I don't know a lot about gun shots outside of movies and videogames, but-- head wounds wouldn't usually make a puddle like this if she was standing up, right?

[it's said with all the hesitation of someone trying really hard not to consider the logistics of this on a... real human being... aaand since Adrien is pretty useless here and he can't deal with staring at this blood much longer after all that he's going to do a tour around the pool since it's OLYMPIC SIZED so there might be something around or far away that isn't immediately obvious?? though ALSO:]

You're awful, Jason.

[SHE LITERALLY JUST DIED YOU PEOPLE??? it sounds more like a mild admonition tho since he didn't... know her... and he's more annoyed at the murderer UGH STOP KILLING]

Unbelievable.

[ Machias is just giving the most judging, disbelieving look at you, Jason. Okay, so he can't tell anything else besides the fact it's definitely been fired. Good to know! ]

It'd depend on whether or not how close it was fired. If it's close range, it's not going to leave a puddle - it's going to leave a mess. It'd splatter everywhere, not leave a small puddle. [ With that, he's going to put the gun back the way it was. ] Anyway, this was definitely used, that much is evident. Find anything else?

Sheesh. Tough crowd.

[Ba dum tshh.

Since nothing is missing from the tool shed, he's going to crouch down next to the pool, near the spot where the gun was found. The bloody water probably makes it hard to see, so he's squinting a little as he carefully leans in closer.]


I think there's something else in the water. Something small. [The casing, maybe?] This would normally be the point where I'd suggest using the net, but

[GESTURING AT THE POOR, POOR POOL NET, FLOATING ALL ALONE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE POOL.]

Some asshole decided to toss it all the way over there. Probably the same asshole who put a bullet between Carta Issue's eyes.

[His clothes are already ruined....... He'll take one for the team if nobody else does.]

[Did someone say there's something in the pool?

Wait, did Arbok never come out? Let's ignore that and the fact he can seemingly hold his breath underwater. He's finally found something, but the only way to get it is absolutely disgusting...he'll pick it up with his tongue, roll it into his mouth (with blood) and then swim-slither his way out of the pool, dragging the net with the back end of his tail.

Look, he can be useful, he'll just spit it right onto the ground when he's out. Voila! A shell casing.]


Chaw! Chawbawk, Chaw!

[HE'S IN SO Much PAIN THAT WAS DISGUSTING]

[oh my god arbok??? adrien rushes over and kind of just... pets it reflexively]

Hey, no, don't-- [um] You did a good job, Arbok, but you shouldn't have put that in your mouth. [... is this how he should talk to a giant snake. fuck if he knows it waVES AT HIM?? so??] You could make yourself really sick.

[yes the tag i definitely didnt write and delete doesn't make him hypocritical at all. still, let's look at that casing. is there anything immediately obvious about it he can find without picking it up because he's too busy comforting a giant snake???]
