Fifth Investigation

[parasomniacs]

Week 6

Friday

[ Another week, another death... with last week's mistake still fresh in their minds, how will they fare this time around? Will the weight of it crush them or will they find themselves refined into sharp, clear diamonds? An answer is nigh-- because once more an eerie silence fills the hotel. That feeling that something's just not right may be familiar to them by now. They may sense it...

...that someone had decided that there is an injustice in the world worth killing for.

Although it may take them some time to deduce this-- they will find that the source of the ground and first floor levels of the hotel. It is not immediately obvious but some may get the sense that they are being watched. No doubt Sheepy will be watching them during their investigation and making sure things go by the books. ]

[Fortunately for Mitsuko, Crow won't be searching her room for a third time in the past week so she can rest easy that no more of her food or yuri manga will be pilfered. But he will definitely approach her for some fingerprinting action!! And maybe some questions later, like about that weird towel he's apparently carrying around!?]

Hey, lemme take a set of your prints. [This will probably take longer than it should, to be honest...]

[forthemoment]

[Luckily for her horde of things, Shelley doesn't seem the type to actually steal anything. But she eyes that towel.]

With a towel?

[nevergraduating]

Nah, well... actually, [He'll hold it up to Mitsuko's face. Take a good sniff...!] I just found this thing around somewhere. Didn't really have time to drop it off anywhere, so I'm just stuck lugging it around for now.

[forthemoment]

[Actually, that's really offensive?! She'll back away before he even gets it close to her face.] Hey, watch it!

[She got a good whiff and...] Ugh, it reeks.

[Except it probably doesn't to him.]

[nevergraduating]

[Wow he didn't even get it that close?? He had to basically smash it into Rean's face to get a reaction, so that's... interesting. Although it's not like he wants to give it a try after both of them cringed at it.]

Huh, you can tell from here? You've got a pretty good nose, if that's the case.

[forthemoment]

[He apparently didn't get the 'she's not human' memo.]

My kind usually do, yes. [Look, if half the hotel knows she's a bear now (thanks Vanitas) there's no point in hiding it.] But why did you want me to smell it?

[nevergraduating]

[He got the "tried to eat Estelle memo" for sure, though! That's something, isn't it??]

Your kind-- [Eh, he'll worry about that after the investigation. For now--] Right, I was just wondering who this belonged to. Thought I could get you to take a look at it, but uh... I'm not gonna complain if you can manage to sniff 'em out.

[forthemoment]

By putting it in my face? [Yeah, she's not buying it. Though, she does pause for a moment.] I'd say it probably was used a lot, probably by the same person. Definitely a man.

[She thinks.]

It's not Mikami and I don't think it's Yuri or Rean.

[nevergraduating]

[Have an impressed whistle. This is kind of neat!?]

Wonder if I could get some other shit for you to compare it to. [TIME TO GO AROUND COLLECTING PEOPLE'S CRAP??]

[forthemoment]

[She's not a dog!]

Well... You could do that.

[nevergraduating]

[If she wasn't a suspect he would totally drag her around to go around sniffing other people's butts stuff. Alas, it was not meant to be.]

Alright, hold on. I'll be back in a second. [And he'll be out to grab some shit from Sting's room since it's also open at the moment and he probably can't find much of other people's crap just lying out in the open. He'll come back with some of Sting's clothing, probably.]

Okay, how about this? [HERE'S SOME HORRIBLE FASHION FOR YOU TO SNIFF MITSUKO]

[forthemoment]

That's definitely the right smell.

[Yeah, it just belongs to the victim, Crow.]

[nevergraduating]

[Wow, success! Now the question is why that towel was there in the first place, but then again for all he knows Sting really liked visiting the gym for reasons that were not actually training.]

Huh, that's pretty interesting. Thanks for the help. [Welp, that was fun. ...Why'd he come here again?

...

Right.]

So yeah, guess we should get on with getting these prints. Might as well ask you a few questions about what you were doing last night too.

[forthemoment]

[Mitsuko can't really tell him that but what does she know. Still, she'll give up her prints.]

Well, I ate dinner about seven then went and had a bath. Then I went to my room about eight and stayed there until I fell asleep.

[nevergraduating]

And I'm guessing you don't have anyone to corroborate that, do you? [Because she would've mentioned them otherwise...]

I should ask you what you won off the murder lottery this time too.

[forthemoment]

I don't. [What, she didn't expect this to happen again so soon!]

One of those stunning cameras. It was pretty useless so I just had it on a nightstand. Miss Winters probably will find it.
