Second Investigation

[parasomniacs]

Week 2

Friday

[ You've all done pretty well this week thus far -- this time no one has even seemed to outwardly give the motive much of a blink or two. Given that this has been the case, it probably ran through everyone's minds that no one this week would bother to commit an additional murder based upon motive, especially since it had been already filled with the sea of three bodies added to the pile. Besides, who would kill for something like Power anyway? Psh.

... It wasn't like people had killed their own best friends for power or accidentally unleashed monstrous abominations in their quest for power, right?

Anyway.

As morning dawns once again and people get up...at around 5-6 am or so, for the early risers they may find something quickly, although whether that somethingis something pleasant is another thing entirely. ]

(They look well read. Some of them are fanservicey, but not actually X-rated.

He does at least seem to be reading them for the story: the fantasy and sci-fi ones like to go into great detail on the magi/tech assumptions, and are generally well written. Also, the sci-fi ones tend towards mecha. He has decent taste.)

[devilsnight]

[Good, his taste is, in fact, acceptable. Not exactly Top Dollar's thing, but acceptable.]

...Like I said, I'm gonna photograph some shit and then that might actually be it for now.

[caineraisingproject]

Be my goddamn guest. If you believe in it, good luck.

[devilsnight]

I don't, but I'll keep that in mind.

[...]

You got anything else you want to tell me, I'd suggest doing it now.

[caineraisingproject]

I don't believe in it much either. I'll let y'all know if there's anything else.

[devilsnight]

[...Actually, before he goes to actually get the damn camera - ]

...When did Nepeta jump you, anyway?

[caineraisingproject]

Wanna say Tuesday, 7ish?

[devilsnight]

Good to know.

[...He will be back to photograph the living hell out of your shit, but for now it seems that'll be all.]

...actually, now that he's talked a bit to Nepeta

[devilsnight]

[And now that he's done dealing with Nepeta while obtaining the camera and verifying that Keenan did, in fact, get jumped at some point, he's going to be taking pictures of the...everything that Keenan showed him earlier, injury-wise.]

Roll your damn sleeves up and walk me through where you got all these from, again.

Re: ...actually, now that he's talked a bit to Nepeta

[caineraisingproject]

(He rolls up his sleeves.

Some of the wounds are abrasion, small bruises, and cuts. Some are light oil spatter. And some are old scars from well before he came here.

He also says as much.)

[devilsnight]

[The old scars are fairly obvious; the abrasions and the cuts, though - those are consistent with something happening several days ago?]

[caineraisingproject]

(Mostly. But there's one more recent set. Looks like a vicious scratch, actually.

Keenan doesn't say anything.)

[devilsnight]

[...]

...You wanna explain that one?

[caineraisingproject]

(He really doesn't. He looks like he wants to cry, actually.)

[devilsnight]

[He's quiet for a moment at that. Staring, a little; there's no compassion in it, don't misunderstand, but - ]

So how bad do you want them to find out? I've got a guess, but I want you to fuckin' say it.

[caineraisingproject]

...I didn't lie to you.

(You're not getting anything else out of him.)

[devilsnight]

[...]

That's fair.

[And from the sound of it, it is; he'll take his leave, then.]
