[Entrance Exam] Investigation

[lockdownmods]

Waking up, you might not notice it immediately, but it shouldn't take you long to realize that today is different. All the haunting memories you've been forced to relive the past few days are gone.

Perhaps... the exam is over. Maybe you've done well and passed with flying colors.

But there's another possibility you have to consider as well. And it's strange that they're gone just like that. Don't you think you should get up and take a look around the main school building... just in case?

LET'S GO...

Well, time to get to work.

[ Shuu is not dealing with the whole entire feeling he has. Instead, he's going to look over the body. Anything obvious? ]

[lockdownmods]

[First off-- with your knowledge, Shuu you can probably tell that he has been here for a few hours. Rigor mortis has already begun to set in. He's probably been here since late last night.]

[9laborsoflove]

[ Noted. He's taking mental notes to write down and turn in. That means two to six hours since he died, though he's assuming more the latter. Anything else? Wounds? Or is this a case of non-obvious trauma? ]

[lockdownmods]

[From the front, he's surprisingly well put together despite the obvious signs of blood. It would appear as though he didn't put up much of a struggle.

It looks though that the wound originates between the neck and shoulder if you want to take a closer look there.]

[9laborsoflove]

[ He's doing just that! What kind of wound is he looking at? And just as importantly, what side? ]

[lockdownmods]

[On Sherlock's right side, so that would be the left side from Shuu's vantage point.

It's a stab wound. The location was smart, which explains all the blood. He probably died really fast. But the cut itself is... not very clean.]

[9laborsoflove]

...How troublesome.

[ Not clean as in unskilled? Or not clean as in this is someone who ma have stabbed in one spot multiple times or something? ]

[lockdownmods]

[It only looks to be one puncture wound. There are no signs of multiple stabbings. But it does look like the work of someone potentially unskilled or unsteady.]

[escardos]

[ WELL SINCE FLAT IS ABSOLUTELY DESENSITIZED TO DEATH... HE MIGHT AS WELL STAY HERE WITH THE BODY. he actually doesn't look too sad in the first place-- he looks determined. ]

Alright, Mister Holmes! It's an honor to investigate your corpse so...where do I start...

[ he's going to imitate the famous detectives and help shuu check the body.

or, the pockets at least ]

Can you handle people with those wings of yours, Mister Bird?

[lockdownmods]

[In Sherlock's coat pocket, there is indeed something to be found! It's large and lumpy-- a bottle of NyQuil to be precise!]

[9laborsoflove]

To a degree. I'm quite well versed in both human and avian anatomy.

[ Quite well versed. ]

...Unfortunately, my weakness means I'll need help turning the body over when it comes to that.

[escardos]

Excuse me, Mister Holmes!

[ flat has a bit of trouble shifting the body, and holmes does end up face down on the floor but, hey. it's a corpse.

he also takes the bottle of nyquil he found and sets it aside! ]

Do you think Mister Holmes was really sick with a cold?

[9laborsoflove]

That depends. What were the symptoms? He could have easily been poisoned, after all.

[ Time to look at his entire back side! See if there's anything there. ]

[escardos]

Well, I don't know, I'm not a doctor.

[ badum-tshh. he's also having a good look at that body, wishing silently that he could have his clairvoyance back. thanks but no thanks, admins. ]

But in the novels, I think Mister Holmes had some sort of drug addiction. Opiates, I think? I don't know if he would still have that as a Heroic Spirit, though...

[9laborsoflove]

I wouldn't know, but unless he could get his hands on any, his addiction wouldn't be fed.

[ So yeah anything on the back here, mods? If not, it's time to strip the body because he's doing this right. ]

[escardos]

Could he get sick if he doesn't get his addiction fed?

[recodified]

[ You know who seems put off by that "investigate and gather evidence" thing? The resident cat, that's for sure. Still, she doesn't want to leave this place without at least doing a small look. She's going to use that nice sense of smell to see if there's anything...off. You know, besides the smell of death stinking up the gym.

Any strange scents? ]

[lockdownmods]

[Not strange per se, but it is noticeable. Sherlock has a distinct smell to him-- one of smoke that comes from that pipe he's always smoking. The smell might as well be a part of him now.]

[recodified]

[ Oh, does she ever know that scent... If she gets a bit closer, let's see-- that pipe and fire have a distinct difference. What's she scenting here, more of his pipe, or...is it something closer to the latter? ]

[lockdownmods]

[It is the natural scent from his pipe, not the latter!]

[recodified]

[ That's a relief if there ever was one. However, what does this mean? Is his pipe nearby? ]

[lockdownmods]

[It is! It's sitting peacefully in his hand.]

[recodified]

Was he using this before he died? [ It seems the examining of the body is covered -- and she's not really comfortable with that anyway -- so if the pipe doesn't yield anything else, she should probably look somewhere else. ]
