Fourth investigation

[letsplayamod]

[You get the feeling that something is immediately wrong as soon as you awaken. Your room, like each room, is quiet in the morning light. Even before you've pulled yourself from your sheets, there's a sense that dread is waiting for you.

It's a new day. You'll have to step out your door to face it eventually.

Who goes first?]

[ It's her, baby! And she's shoeless. ]

[mondays amirite]

[...fine, what fresh hell awaits us immediately outside the bedrooms?]

[letsplayamod]

[Please consider wearing shoes, Rieful.

There's a distressing amount of blood out here.]

[pariunt]

[Oh, so we're having a normal horrible death day, are we?]

[catsgothistongue]

[Another Friday, another murder. It's been a pattern three times now, so you better believe Ranma's waking up and heading out mid-putting on his shirt.]

[yourheroine]

[What do you mean there’s blood?]

[brokenhabit]

[ Opens her own door and sees the blood.

..

Closes the door. NOT TODAY SATAN. ]

[murchada]

[damn we're having a morning over here. sure hope there's no blood after she lea-- ah damn]

[taintedfayth]

[Is this how his robe dies, first oil and now blood...]

[letsplayamod]

[Fair and valid.]

[fillets]

That's for the best, I suppose...

[ Jesus Christ okay FINE she'll put some sandals on and then investigate further. Does it lead anywhere, or...? ]

[catsgothistongue]

[Like. Literal pints of blood levels of distressing or...]

[catsgothistongue]

[its friday tho]

[sweetsynergy]

[yeah there's probably a few different thresholds of distress in play here]

[sweetsynergy]

[Murder days are the Mondays of the soul.]

[catsgothistongue]

[hey you never know if somebody just got a really bad paper cut!!!]

[letsplayamod]

[It does! Around your living quarters, all the way to the foot of room 16.

There, laying on the ground, is a shape, covered by a bedsheet.]

[sweetsynergy]

[Paper cuts are distressing for reasons almost entirely unrelated to blood.]

[Especially when hand sanitizer is involved.]

[stringup]

[ Oh. There's a lot of blood, huh. ]

[catsgothistongue]

[Fuuuuuuuuck. That's...

Steeling himself, Ranma's just gonna. Poke at the shape. Maybe they're napping and spilt tomato juice all over the hallway]

[stringup]

[ Hey don't mind the lady just. Running over as soon as she sees where the blood trail leads to. And don't mind her kneeling down to take off the bedsheet. ]

Please, please, please—

[letsplayamod]

[The shape is unresponsive.]

[sweetsynergy]

Uh. Whose room was that, again?

[catsgothistongue]

[It catches on his tongue, before he finally spits it out.]

Ferdie's...

[Oh no no no-]

[pariunt]

[That it so much blood, Astarion has to cover his nose and mouth before he gets drunk off of the scent.]
