✰ WEEK 3 ( INVESTIGATION )

Magical Girl Raising Project

Friday, Week 3

15 REMAIN...?

You guys thought last week was strange? This week is even worse. First of all, there's the lingering thoughts in the air, the attempt to deduce who the real killer of Eliza was after failure. It's a bright determination never to fail again. But then, there was that motive... a friend in danger, and the fact that it's difficult to tell if they're real or not.

At least waking up seems to be fine; there's no big issue... except for the fact that today is the final day before Fav decided to kill the hostages. There has to be a way to stop him-

"Someone has been murdered, pon. And because of that, your hostages will be spared, pon."

Well, then.

[In that case, Moeka won't bother with a more thorough inspection, since if she hasn't been in the room in days, probably nothing in there is related to the murder.]

[hawthorned]

[w h a t.

Okay so there's a ton of things to ask about this whole thing, but she'll go sequentially.]

....Wait.... Miss Nanami called you here and you were attacked? How do you know for certain that it was Zack?

[enthrallingly]

No. I called Nanami here. But it seems that Zack was following her. It looks like he intended to kill her but when he saw me, he tried to kill me too.

[She crosses her arms over her chest.]

But somehow we were both saved.

After that, I didn't see Zack anywhere. Just Me, Nanami... and naturally the real culprit. That backstabbing fox....

[hawthorned]

Yes, I took pictures of the scene when I arrived.

[She'll make a face at the morbid jigsaw puzzle suggestion here, but....]

Yes, it seems that would be a good idea. [Your move Miach!! Cuz guess who is not making any moves to pick out glass from Nanami's face, uh....

But also while we're at it, is there a specific distribution of blood on Nanami's clothes to suggest whether she was standing/sitting/lying down when she took the blow to the face?]

[imitationsoul]

[ .... alright. So now she doesn't have a choice anymore. Miach likes to pretend to be above it all, but even she has human reflexes and this is really really gross. Okay, kneeling down. Sitting next to the corpse.... Miach takes another deep breath, willing all her stomach's content to stay right where it is at all costs....

... and then she's ready.

Miach will pick out all the shards out of the bloody mess that is Nanami's face. Is that possible for her? She'll certainly take her time with doing it carefully and soon some kind of desensitization sets in that makes her forget that what she is touching used to be a human face. Now she just... needs to not remind herself again, yes. Work trance. It'll be fine. ]

[raisingproject]

[Since Len is taking over

There'a bit of an addendum to the rips: they're only on the back side of the torso area, and most of the blood seems to be distributed in that area; on the from side there's definitely less blood and there doesn't seem to be any specific area to suggest what she was doing when she took the blow to the face.]

[raisingproject]

[Yeah, that's fine. Have fun taking all of that out.]

[hawthorned]

[.... double w h a t.]

....Just to be clear, Miss Serafina, you're certain that it was Zack and Miss Tamamo that you saw. How were you able to identify them?

[imitationsoul]

[ Well this feels like it took an eternity. Miach takes a few deep breaths and takes a look at that pile she just got. Time to try and start assembling them into their original shape. If she's already sitting in blood, with blood over her legs and hands, may as well touch some bloody glass shards some more, huh. And then wince when she inevitably gets some smaller cuts herself, oops. ]

[enthrallingly]

I saw Zack myself when he tried to kill me. As for Tamamao... I have the evidence right here.

[She holds up the piece. When held up it becomes clear that it's just not any glass... Dahlia can see her own reflection in it. It seems to be a mirror shard.]

[raisingproject]

[It's not going to be complete, but it's going to start making a circular shape. There are some pieces missing.]

[imitationsoul]

[ Cool. That's pretty good already. ]

Dahlia. Take a picture of this. I don't want to smear blood all over my phone.

[ Miach gets up to her feet here, staring down at her gore-y hands and.... yeah, wow, all of that just happened. ]

And I'll go clean myself off.

[ .... and off she goes. Actually, she'll throw up a few steps outside of the dollhouse first, but then clean-up will commence.

This all seemed a lot cooler in theory than it turned out to be in practice. ]

[hawthorned]

[ignore that typo in her name, this is what happens when I multitask OTL]

A mirror fragment? [She understands the implication, but she's just not aware that Tamamo specifically owned a mirror.] You're suggesting this was Miss Tamamo's? ....But it sounds as though you didn't see her face, is that right?

[hawthorned]

....yes, I'll do that, Miss Miach.

[She's still kinda side eyeing Miach for this because jfc that's disgusting, but she'll take that picture without further comment. Since those shards match the ones from Seraphina's hand, it's safe to assume this used to be a mirror, right?]

[hawthorned]

[Huh. So if most of the blood is coming from the back-torso-ish area, can we check under her clothes to see what damage has been done?]

[raisingproject]

[Yes.]

[raisingproject]

[Yep. There are tears in that area, but... no injuries under those tears. Huh.]

[hawthorned]

[...Curious.

How are the bottoms of Nanami's shoes looking? Are they covered in blood etc? And is there any way of telling roughly how long it appears she's been dead for?]

[raisingproject]

[The shoes are fine. And it looks like she's been dead for at least several hours.]

[enthrallingly]

Oh I saw her. Although it was only for a second, before she hit me.

[She hadn't had a lot of time to react. And thus she ended up in this messy situation.]

[mikooon]

[Instead of posting anything important, Tamamo asks on the network:]

Has anyone seen my mirror?

[raisingproject]

[Behind the locked door, there's another well lived in room, though if one were to think it was just a dumping ground for unwanted items, that'd be an understandable impression too.

After all, there's a fishtank over on the table, some cards scattered on the floor, a poster of a girl on the wall, and for some reason, a basket of cat themed hairpins over by the door.

And last but not least, the closet door seems to be ajar...]

[zackthekiller]

Uh, no. We haven't.

We're too busy figuring out why Nanami's face looks like it was shoved into a blender.

[mikooon]

[...WELP]

If anyone spots it, do tell me. I've been looking for all over!

And-- with the death announcement by Fav, I assume the victim is Nanami this time...

[zackthekiller]

NO SHIT, SHERLOCK.
