second investigation [night 7/day 8]

[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?]

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

[Anything else about the body?]

[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.]

[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.]

[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.]

[...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?]

[personal profile] hotlinenpcs 2019-06-21 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[A couple of things!

The arcade cabinet looks old and beat up, and seems to be stuck on a screen that says "FINISH HIM!"]
worldchampofmartialarts: (2)

[personal profile] worldchampofmartialarts 2019-06-21 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Huh.]

[...how exactly is the screen stuck- is it just frozen into a still image- or is it just softlocked with the sprites looping the same animation endlessly? And is there any visible glitching aside from that?]
hotlinenpcs: (Default)

[personal profile] hotlinenpcs 2019-06-21 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[Like a soft lock! Nothing else is noticeable about the glitching.]
worldchampofmartialarts: (11)

[personal profile] worldchampofmartialarts 2019-06-21 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[...hm...]

[What about the cabinet itself... if it's in really poor shape, is that... just due to its old age, or is there any sign that it's taken more damage during this incident?]
hotlinenpcs: (Default)

[personal profile] hotlinenpcs 2019-06-21 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[The cabinet itself just seems worn from age, nothing really notable about that.

The cord however...]
worldchampofmartialarts: (10)

[personal profile] worldchampofmartialarts 2019-06-21 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[...oh boy.]

[What state of discord is this cord in.]
hotlinenpcs: (Default)

[personal profile] hotlinenpcs 2019-06-21 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's been horribly frayed. The plastic has been completely worn away with all the internal wires showing.

It really should be replaced, that's not safe!]
worldchampofmartialarts: (2)

(forgets i have a camera and tags this 2 ½ hours later)

[personal profile] worldchampofmartialarts 2019-06-21 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[That looks like it might be important.]

[He takes a picture of both the frayed cord and the screen... though he doubts the latter will be captured very well in a still photo. It's still worth preserving. Not like they can lug a whole arcade cabinet to the trial. ...can they.]

no dying we examine uncomfortable evidence like adults

[personal profile] beardcheck 2019-06-21 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[HE MIGHT HAVE]

[But this Grog probably actually knows enough about to be able to tell some things. Does it look like it was made by fists, or some kind of weapon? Or did Medic just fall down a shitton of stairs.]
hotlinenpcs: (Default)

='(

[personal profile] hotlinenpcs 2019-06-21 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ah yes, the notorious stairs falls when there are no stairs.

They are mostly situated on his sides and back, they seem kind of blunt, and looks like it could have been made by someone without weapons.]

no crying in murdergames, except all the crying we do

[personal profile] beardcheck 2019-06-21 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[We were all warned, bro.]

[Grog is gonna try to fistfight the culprit.]

[Anything else weird about the body, or failing that - anything cool in Medic's pockets.]

[personal profile] hotlinenpcs 2019-06-21 06:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[Do not grab more toes, Grog.

But you could take a closer look at the bullet wound!]
beardcheck: (6 intelligence)

[personal profile] beardcheck 2019-06-21 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[If there are any more that are detached, we'll talk.]

[But okay, what's up with this bullet wound.]
hotlinenpcs: (Default)

cw suicide

[personal profile] hotlinenpcs 2019-06-21 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[The bullet wound is on the same side of his head that the gun is in, and it looks like Medic shot himself in the head, between the gun positioning and whatnot.

... There is also something else of note but that requires Grog to actually knowing how dead bodies work which we established that he doesn't.]

Re: cw suicide

[personal profile] beardcheck 2019-06-21 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[He has seen a lot of dead bodies, at least? Is it something he might notice and describe to someone competent?]
hotlinenpcs: (Default)

[personal profile] hotlinenpcs 2019-06-21 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[I'm assuming Grog has seen people shot to death with arrows, so let's just go with that analogy.

For one, it doesn't seem like a normal projectile wound. There's far less blood splattered about than what a lethal projectile wound might actually look like. Like, the blood came from a leaky faucet as opposed to a full blast sink.]

[personal profile] beardcheck 2019-06-21 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[There is a gunslinger in Vox Machina actually, but let's assume that medieval, freshly-invented firearms aren't close enough to modern guns to quite carry over.]

[He'd definitely note the lack of blood as kind of weird, though.]

[personal profile] hotlinenpcs 2019-06-21 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[WHOOPS I forgot about Percy

But yeah that's about all that's weird about the gunshot wound.]

[Cool, cool, anything else about the body, or is he free to loot?]
