Third Investigation

Week 3

Friday

[ Another week has come and gone-- albeit with a great deal of excitement. It wouldn't be strange if by the end of the week you had nearly forgotten the week's new motive altogether with everything that's been going on since the middle of the week. But even if you did, that didn't make it go away. It was still there. Waiting. For just one person to give it the proper consideration.

...had someone decided that one person's life was worth erasing to get rid of another?

It no longer seems so crazy, does it?

As another morning dawns, people will rise-- perhaps with every intention of going about their daily routines same as always. But somewhere, a surprise is waiting to be discovered. But what oh what will they find this time? Just maybe it won't be so bad. Or maybe it will. ]

[ Vampires sure got it lucky. They don't even have to poop.

Anyway, Duke moves along from there, straight on back into the room proper, before scoping out the thoroughly; if nothing's there he will begin to head over to the bed to look underneath it

[ THERE'S SOMETHING UNDER THE BED.

...it's a ball of yarn. Two guesses who that belongs to, and the first one doesn't count. At the edge of the bed there are also a set of dishes with food and water, also belonging to Murr.

But it's okay. Murr's here to help. The fat cat prances it's way across the bed and not so gracefully jumps over onto the small table next to the bed-- knocking over the alarm clock in the process but it's fine. It's fluffy tail sways excitedly and after a short moment he meows loudly.

...I think he's saying check in here. Since the table has a little drawer.

[ The first guess goes to Noe. The yarn belongs to Noe--

Okay, no.

That aside, Duke is getting off of the floor so he can stand up once more. He'll then head over to the small table the cat drew attention to. He'll just give the cat a look of understanding before opening and checking in the table's little drawer. What does he find? ]

[ You win a prize!

Not for that first guess, that was wrong.

But you've found something! A room key. It looks to be the same as the ones all of them were given. There's also a small pellet. A pose pellet to be precise. The type that was among the "presents" offered to potential suspects and murderers.

[ He'll then look satisfied, taking both.

Then he'll look at the cat, and give a gentle expression, before offering his hand out for a petting. ]


You have been very helpful.

[ ... Of course he's not done here but the cat needs to be thanked for assisting!! ]

[ Murr tries to cover up exactly how pleased he is with this praise however... no he's pretty damn happy with himself, pushing his head into the palm of Duke's hand and accepting his reward with a happy purr.



WITH THAT TAKEN CARE OF... Anything else you'd like to see?
]
unlikelyend: (Stoically happy.)

[personal profile] unlikelyend 2016-12-18 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ Duke pets the cat and there is almost a smile. He's missed being around the company of wildlife that he is very much prolonging his investigation for a bit now. Er. Speaking of investigation, he does have an important question to ask Noe. ]

Noe.

[ Beat. ]

...What is the cat's name?

[personal profile] simplism 2016-12-18 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ He had expected the questions would come... this just wasn't the one he was expecting. Blinking, he let's it sink in for a moment.

But he's quite happy to see Murr getting along with Duke so well. There were times he could certainly be disagreeable.
]

Ah-- it's Murr.

[ Noe hadn't watched his investigation all that closely, but now he has a good reason to focus on the other man. ]

...he seems to have taken a liking to you.
unlikelyend: (Memory.)

[personal profile] unlikelyend 2016-12-18 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
I see...

[ Something good has to come out of this shitshow, after all. After looking at the cat, he finally directs his gaze upon the other white-haired male. It seems a little more curious, compared to his earlier look when he first walked in the room. ]

Murr is a good cat. I presume you must treat him well by the items you left for him.

[personal profile] simplism 2016-12-18 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ Since becoming a suspect, things have been tense-- however, this change in the subject certainly brightens him mood. After all, having Murr here with him now is the best thing he could have asked for. ]

Yes... He's been with me a long time. I'm very glad to have him here with me finally.
unlikelyend: (Serenity.)

[personal profile] unlikelyend 2016-12-18 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
That is...good to hear.

[ That is like the fourth person he has managed to cheer up without necessarily going for that route, but it is a good thing nonetheless. Or at least Duke believes so.

The male then steps forward to Noe, holding out the room key and the rose pellet to Noe. ]


...Can you hold onto these for a moment? I have not quite finished investigating your room.
simplism: (Default)

[personal profile] simplism 2016-12-18 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
Oh-- of course.

[He takes the pose pellet and the room key-- Although he wonders for a moment why he's giving him his room key.

Huh. Must be something important he needs to investigate. He has to admit he's kinda curious what he's going to do next.

[ He just wanted to make once last cursory look around before he was done.

Okay, Duke is just going to double-check a few things he's already gone over (and hasn't). First, he'll double-check both of the night-stand drawers, including inside of them and around them. He'll make sure to check if there's nothing in the ashtrays, either. If there's nothing fruitful there, he will go ahead to look behind the venetian blinds to see if something was hidden behind it. If nothing's there, Duke will go check behind the speakers.

Lastly, he'll actually go to look through the kitchen area itself. He'll look in the mini-fridge, vase, and yes... even the microwave. ]

[ The ashtray is completely empty. There's nothing behind the venetian blinds or speakers either. The mini-fridge holds a bottle of wine and that's all. The vase has a few flowers in it, but they're different from the ones from the garden. They match the heart-shaped bed in their vibrant red color. The microwave is also empty. ]
unlikelyend: (Another side-glance.)

[personal profile] unlikelyend 2016-12-18 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
[ OKAY THEN... he is probably... done then, right.

Yeah. He can't think of anywhere else to look. ]


... I believe this has sufficed.

[ He'll walk over to Noe and then hold out his hand for the items. ]

You can hand back over your room key and the other item.

[personal profile] simplism 2016-12-18 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
[It was a very thorough investigation. Noe nodded and was about to do so when it struck him that something didn't quite match here.]

...my key?

[Putting both items from the drawer in one hand, he reaches into his back pocket and pulls out his own key card. Which means there's two of them here-- identical, with nothing on them to tell them apart.]

Then you mean this isn't yours?

[There seems to have been a slight misunderstanding here.

Also the key rightly becomes mystery owner's key.

unlikelyend: (Stare #416)

[personal profile] unlikelyend 2016-12-18 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
[ ......what th--

Okay.

Of course Duke had to choose this room because now something confounding happened and he understands very little of why there's two room keys with someone else. ]


...No. Although, I suppose there is one way to figure out whose room key it is.
simplism: (Default)

[personal profile] simplism 2016-12-18 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
Right... we could just test it on the doors.

[Not that he really wants to go door to door testing it, but...]

...would you mind if I joined you?

[He would also like to know who's key got into his room and how.]
unlikelyend: (Examination.)

[personal profile] unlikelyend 2016-12-18 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
Very well...

[ Duke doesn't say no because... is he supposed to?? He is not a lawyer, police, or detective. He's never dealt with investigating suspects before (ha ha ha.)

Let's pretend he took the room key thing with him that WASN'T Noe's and he starts with the doors that are open first, going by whoever is closest, etc, etc. ]


...It may be a key left behind by someone who visited you recently.
simplism: (Default)

[personal profile] simplism 2016-12-18 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Going by open doors, it shouldn't belong to anyone there if that's the case. From closest to farthest they start with Kevin's, which doesn't respond.

From there it's over across to the blue wing. Nepeta's doesn't react either. Onward.

...Shingo's does though.

Green light means g--holy fuck why in the hell is Shingo's room key here?I
]
unlikelyend: (Walk.)

[personal profile] unlikelyend 2016-12-18 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
[ Duke will finally release a sigh. Like, really. ]

... I see.

[ AND THAT WILL BE ALL HE SAYS...he's never been the talkative type. It's still surprising, though. ]
