second investigation [night 7/day 8]

[calloperators]

[So I have good news today! No explosion that will wake you all up at 3 AM! You can sleep in to the morning if you want to.

But if you’re a really early riser, or you stay up really late every evening, it might be worth it to look around.

Especially after that strange phone call you got again. After all, you’ve all committed crime, there could be someone who would trade in a human life for a fabulous prize.

Or sleep in honestly that’s what I would do.

Investigate?]

[Welp, better start looting the body looking for clues, how's the headwound look?]

[Like does it look like he was shot from the front or the back, not that Grog can probably tell that. But he can see how the wound looks and describe it to competent people later.]

[hotlinenpcs]

[It looks like it's from the side]

[beardcheck]

[That would probably mean something possibly very bad to someone who wasn't Grog.]

[Welp, time to start patting down the body. It's what Medic would've wanted, if he were still alive and also a DnD murderhobo.]

[hotlinenpcs]

[In one pocket Medic has one of these guys and in the other he has... a human toe.

... Strange, but if you check everyone's feet here (... please don't take that out of context), everyone seems to have their normal amount of toes.

. . .

Anyway, as Grog is looking, he will also realize that there's something very wrong about Medic's legs too.]

[beardcheck]

[...Okay, yeah. That's weird.]

[The toe is a little out of place too.]

[Just gonna. Take those? Why.]

[How fucked up are these legs, then.]

[hotlinenpcs]

[Pretty fucked up. His calves and ankles (along with his pants) are horribly burnt]

[beardcheck]

[SUNBURN.]

[poor bastard]

What the shit.

[hotlinenpcs]

[Sometimes you get sunburn so badly that your pants burn too.

Wanna look some more?]

[beardcheck]

[Sunburn is exactly the same as molten lava, of course mere pants would burn.]

[...How many toes does Medic have, can Grog tell?]

[hotlinenpcs]

[T

ten...]

[beardcheck]

[The mystery deepens.]

[Does the area around Medic look burned at all, like has the floor been obviously set ablaze recently?]

[hotlinenpcs]

[Nope! Pyro is dead so no more weird fires, I guess.]

[beardcheck]

[He spontaneously feet combusted, tragic.]

[Anything else about the body?]

[hotlinenpcs]

[I'm really

Really gonna hate saying this

But the one last thing of note about Medic's body is going to have to involve removing his shirt.

Or if you want to save me you can investigate the gunshot a little more.]

[beardcheck]

[Oh hell naw]

[we're doing this]

[you put this out there, i can't not]

[Let's strip this corpse in the name of looting.]

I want die

[hotlinenpcs]

[Grog did you think Medic would have valuables tapped to his chest or something.

But now that he's topless you can see that Medic has a lot of bruising on him.]

[worldchampofmartialarts]

[...reluctantly, Satan takes a picture of Medic's bare torso.]

[He's... he's done spending time with the body, Grog can have fun with it. He's going after the arcade cabinet now. Anything weird there?]

[worldchampofmartialarts]

[Is it possible to tell what kind of weapon was used- either from the wound itself, or any leftover ammunition scattered in the area?]

[hotlinenpcs]

[Well

The gun in Medic's hand might be a clue.]

[worldchampofmartialarts]

[No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no-]

[He's fighting every urge in his body to scream, taking a picture of the gun in his hand to document its placement, before pocketing his camera, picking up the gun and inspecting it thoroughly. He's handled guns himself- anything unusual he can tell looking at it?]

[hotlinenpcs]

[Satan no the fingerprints!!!

But good luck taking the gun because Medic is firmly griping the gun in his hand]

[worldchampofmartialarts]

[Well they call it a death grip for a reason!]

[Can he at least tell what kind of gun it is by a glance? Revolver, semi-automatic?]

[hotlinenpcs]

[Revolver-ish? I guess a semi-automatic pistol

I admit I'm very bad at identifying guns.]

[worldchampofmartialarts]

[...are there any stray bullets, or- other fallen ammunition in the area around the body? Or just the one in his head.]

[hotlinenpcs]

[No other stray bullets around here!]
