✰ 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.

[Alrighty then. Is Nanami's phone anywhere near by?]

[raisingproject]

[It's in her pocket, shut off.]

[hawthorned]

[Ok so she's going to try and grab with her shawl so she doesn't get additional fingerprints on it if possible. Anything about the phone worthy of note - fingerprints etc?

Also anything worthy of note in terms of private messages and such when you turn it on? Any way to verify Seraphina's story about her calling Nanami to the dollhouse?]

[raisingproject]

[No fingerprints.

But yes, there is one private message dated on Thursday from Seraphina calling Nanami to the dollhouse.]

[hawthorned]

[...A second before being attacked doesn't seem like a whole lot of time to say with certainty who the attacker was, but Dahlia isn't going to press that for now.]

So when you saw Zack, what did he attack you with and is that how you received that bruise, Miss Seraphina?

[hawthorned]

[Right, well then Dahlia will pocket Nanami's phone so she can turn that in for evidence at the trial, and will head on out of the dollhouse. There's still the question of what caused the damage to the dolls, so there might be more evidence elsewhere.]

[zackthekiller]

[Zack kind of wandered off from the crime scene. He isn't paying attention, so he might end up bumping into him.]

[hawthorned]

[Have some bumping into!]

Zack, were you able to find anything?

[She'll just withhold what Seraphina said about Zack's alleged involvement for the time being.]

[zackthekiller]

...

[Good idea?]

Other than Sera's alive somehow? No. Why?

[hawthorned]

I- I think we're missing something... a weapon of some kind. The dolls in the house were slashed, but the mirror shards Miach and I found weren't what caused them.

[A beat.]

I've looked in the police station, the karaoke lounge and the restaurant, but I didn't see anything there. Perhaps we should be looking somewhere else...?

[hawthorned]

When did your mirror go missing, Miss Tamamo?

[zackthekiller]

Mirror...?

[Did he see something shiny in the river earlier...?]

Maybe in the river? We did find the last body thrown in there...

[He still seems a bit bitter... Be careful.]

[yourdreamismydream]

[After looking over the crime scene himself, Taiki will also have wandered away from the dollhouse. He hadn't known Nanami well, but he had known her to be kind, and to see her body so brutally ruined like that... It had been unbearable.

He doesn't expect to run into Dahlia and Zack, though.] Ah, you two... If you're planning to investigate some more, I can come with you.

[hawthorned]

[She turns to Taiki and nods.]

Zack wanted to check by the river to see if there's anything there. The murderer took something with them out of the crime scene it seems... and the river would be a convenient place to dispose of it. Having more people around to look will speed that up.

[...And make it so that Dahlia can keep an eye on Zack if need be while searching.]

Let's go.

[Aaaand off to the river to see what we can see! Anythign of note by the river or on the way there?]

[raisingproject]

[Nothing on the way there, but there seems to be something sparkling in the river.]

[zackthekiller]

[He knew he saw something shiny!]

[Zack runs up to the shiny thing and tries to see what it is.]

[buylowsellhigh]

[She'll just take a picture of all that. Anything else out of the ordinary?]

[buylowsellhigh]

[Recette sends her a picture of the stuff she found.]

It looks like someone was here for a while.

[buylowsellhigh]

[Distressed Recette noises from the arcade.]

[hawthorned]

[...It's honestly kinda nice when Dahlia doesn't have to specifically ask people to go fetch things that she doesn't want to fetch herself, truth be told.]

What did you find, Zack?

[raisingproject]

[Nope.]

[raisingproject]

[He'll have to wade through the water but if he does, he'll find a round mirror, broken and missing a few pieces.]

[zackthekiller]

[Great, he has to jump in a body of water again... At least he's not being asked to this time.]

[He pulls out what's left of the mirror and looks over it, cautiously.]

It looks like a broken mirror to me...

[yourdreamismydream]

[Taiki's eyebrows furrow as he spots.] I thought I remembered something about a mirror from a while back... [Maybe it was in the item shop at some point...?] Do either of you know who it belongs to?

[hawthorned]

[She'll hesitate before answering that question, actually.]

Miss Tamamo, if I'm not mistaken.

[A beat as she calls out to Zack.] Do you mind bringing it over with you? I want to take a closer look at it.
