[ sorry, not boyfriend, but she is currently following drops of blood to some desks.
but what is over here at the desks? are they leading to any desk in particular? or is is just this area in general. will she trip over the body of (throws dart) hisoka ]
[ kara waits just long enough to confirm the identity before rolling his eyes. ]
Of course it's him.
[ mikazuki always likes being the center of attention. whatever!! kara is going to check out the computer monitor, being very careful of the broken glass. any sign of what knocked it over - or was it thrown? any other damage, or maybe even evidence, like blood spots, torn fabric or hair, whatever? anything to note about the trajectory of how the computer fell? ]
anyway. hm. i hope he didn't want that shirt in the afterlife, because ash is slipping the blade of his axe up it and slicing the shirt away so he can check for injuries and whether or not he can figure out what happened here. ]
Oh, what a tragic fate befell Mikazuki "Jiji" Munechika! Husband to Tsurumaru "Honorary Lesbian" Kuninaga... Father of Lea and Ookurikara... Grandfather to Roxas, Xion and Naminé.
Detective Ookurikara was so shocked by the discovery, he exclaimed: "Oh course! It's him!" Oh, if only someone could soothe his soul. Perhaps... the tender embrace of his missus back home, Lili An.
[... None of those things seem right, but. Okay. The narrator seems into it, at least?
The teenage boy seems to think about it, before he shakes his head. He doesn't know if his grandfather had any problems, but he knows he had an important meeting with someone in this very office.
Following the trail of blood, Stephanie will come across the same serrated sword she found earlier. Except, this time, it's coated in blood and chilling in a blood puddle right behind desks 5 and 6. The blond women in those desks do not seem notice it, nor do the two men sitting right across from them in desks 7 and 8.
It's hard to tell if the monitor was thrown, but whatever the case? It's heavily damaged. The screen is busted up, cracked and flickering, and there is blood on one edge of the monitor, messy and splattered.
The narrator gasps.]
Could it be...?
[Meanwhile, Ash will see Jiji has been stabbed — right where his shirt was torn up.]
[ does the stab look like it might have been done with a serrated blade? ]
... If it was someone here does that mean they're injured? [ but first! he's going to look and see if there's any evidence of a head wound on ol' jiji to explain away when he desperately needs a hairwash. ]
Someone in the office could be injured, if it wasn't used to hit him in the first place.
[The boy shakes his head. Noooo idea! He doesn't work here, man. Maybe somebody else would know...? Well, it seems like Belph can't interview the teenager anymore, because it is at this point that Tsurumaru dramatically wails and throws himself on the ground, bemoaning the fate of his sweetheart! How could he leave him and Bobsanchan behind!!
... Maybe Belph should just back away slowly.
Anyway, as for Steph, it's just the blood puddle and sword. Boo.
Ash and Ookurikara will have a bit more luck. Though there's no indication of who the guest was, Ash will find that Jiji has a pretty nasty head wound! Someone sure did bash his skull in. Yikes. At least that explains the blood all over his face. The stab wound is pretty gnarly, too... Looking at it, it may have been done with a serrated blade, but they would need something to compare it to in order to confirm.]
[ well, first she is going to walk over to the other lockers where she knows this sword came from. just to see if anything else was taken that might help out? ]
Wait, why is he writing stuff down?
[ SHE WASN'T CLOSE ENOUGH TO HEAR HIM TALK GIBBERISH ]
[ well, then. time to look for the, uh. other murder weapon, he supposes. bye, jiji. ]
He started speaking weird when our clothes changed. [ anyway ] We need to find who Mikazuki was meeting with. It's possible they were injured, but they were definitely carrying some kind of blade.
[Ash's spirit will ask the group if there's a jagged weapon anywhere.
But since Becks said he would check if the corner of the monitor matches the head woundsie... he will discover that it is a match! The narrator gasps again, melodramatically:]
... It is! By Jove, Detective Carbide has found it!
[Insert Ash bursting into tears, probably.
When Belph returns to the photocopiers, he will discover that the cat clock has disappeared from wherever Ookurikara stored it, in order to reappear next to the pink box. It's actively ticking down now. The numbers has gone down from 60:00 to 39:48. Hm. There are five lockers in total on this side, marked 8 through 12. Inside of them, he will find:
Locker 8: A gun Locker 9: A bear plushie Locker 10: An ice bag Locker 11: A box of matches Locker 12: A blood soaked— No, wait. That's cherry syrup. A cherry syrup coated gingerbread house. Phew.]
No, okay. Steph would have noticed locker #2 was left open. Blood is smudged on the latch, but it doesn't form a clear handprint or shape of any kind. The other lockers were left untouched.
The gun is loaded, yes. It had three bullets. In desks 5 through 8, he will notice (in order): An unfamiliar woman, a familiar blond woman, a familiar blond man, and a white haired man. If he tries to peer at their desks/screens, they will give him an odd look with no hint of recognition. Don't be a weirdo, Detective Phleb?
The serrated sword is a match for Jiji's stab wound! Whoa.]
[Rapunzel and Mammon have their airpods on, and Fitzgerald straight up ignores him, but Milla will read Belph's note and perk up. The narrator begins to speak.]
Milla Maxwell. 20. Administrative Support Specialist by day, Spirit Lord by night. She is a single lady looking for a good hunk of meat — if you know what I mean. Detective Phleb is a sizzling hot ribeye on a silver platter, and Miss Maxwell is ready to dine. She sizes him up with a sultry look in her eyes, licking her lips.
Detective Brown better watch out, because there's a dark horse in the running.
[... Milla does none of these things. In fact, she offers him a friendly smile as she asks: "What do you want to know about his meeting, Detective?"
The cabinets near the couches seem to be untouched. Desks 9-12 look normal, if you ignore the familiarandunfamiliarfaces.]
There is no running. Why couldn't I be fully deaf?
[ it's muttered
but steph is going to walk over to the second consultation area because she didn't get to before this whole murder mystery started. what's happening over here. ]

Do you know who he was meeting or what for?

[ that's funny.
but she's going to pick up the sword and see if there is anything else in the immediate area. is it just blood puddle. ]
no subject
He must have thrown this at whoever attacked him. There's blood on it... so we'll be looking for someone who's injured, probably.
[ hm. if he goes through the office items, like the things that were on the desk before, there's no indication of who the guest was, is there. ]

Find who the victim was meeting with.
[refresher for francy that rapunzel had a note about the meeting maybe but belph doesn't know that
with that said, he'll double-check to see if the photocopiers have anything new in queue idk.
if not, he'll check out the lockers outside the photocopy room.]

he takes the gun and checks: is it loaded?
either way, he walks around to desks 5-8. who's sitting there, and is it possible to peer at their desks and/or screens...]

I found this.
[ here, a bloody sword. take it. ]

Check around where you found it. It's possible one of them is the killer.

Do any of you know anything about Mikazuki's meeting at 4:30?
no subject
Detective Phelb is on it already. There's a handprint on the locker, but I don't think we can do a comparison from it... it's not intact enough.
no subject
[ good to know it's the murder weapon, but. hm. ]
Whoever did it probably washed their hands already... but we should check for any more bloodstains in the area.
[ so... were the cabinets untouched? are desks 9-12 looking normal? ]
