✰ 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.

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...?

[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.]

[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]

[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.

[zackthekiller]

[Ask and ye shall receive.]

Here.

[hawthorned]

[She'll smile at the helpfulness here, but kinda frown as she looks at the mirror more closely.]

...I wonder.

[She'll take out her magical phone and show both Zack and Taiki the picture of the mirror fragments that Miach put back together.]

Do you think this was originally the same mirror?

[...Does it at least visually look like a potential match? And is there anything else to note about the mirror itself? Any dents, clumps of face that might not have washed off in the water?]

[raisingproject]

[It is definitely a match. Also no, nothing else to note.]

[hawthorned]

[Huh.]

I don't know if there'll be much use in trying to reassemble the mirror, but perhaps it's worth trying?

[But actually, she'll go ahead and take a picture of this mirror as Zack found it first.]

[yourdreamismydream]

It looks like it matches up pretty closely, but... If you think there's a reason to, we could. Are the pieces shown in the photograph back at the dollhouse?
