week 1 - investigation

[vicedirector]

seven vices case 1 - investigation ♫ friday On Friday morning, time shifts. It's a strange, twisting feeling reverberating throughout all in the town, even able to be felt by those still asleep, warping their dreams. Everyone's sense of time is back to normal, and the large grandfather clock in the lobby is gone. Which, here, can only mean the mastermind had a change of heart--or someone is dead. >Investigate? cast setting

The roof of the building, maybe? I can go take a look up there, if you think it would help.

[ Stormfly is only a whistle away, staying well back from the dead body. ]

[herbgrace]

If you would, please. [Asking anyone to try to climb onto the roof is asking for another death.]

YO ANNA - THE ROOF

[brawlhalla]

You got it.

[ She puts her fingers to her lips and gives one shrill whistle, catching the attention of her partner, who immediately runs over. Swinging up onto Stormfly, Astrid and the dragon take off to head to the roof...

Which is exactly how high they can fly together, and only for a minute or so, so they'll be landing up there to look around. Anything on the roof of note? ]

[vicedirector]

[ There is indeed.

Much of the snow on the roof above where Takao's body lies is disturbed, including a large indentation at the very edge. ]

[brawlhalla]

[ So we're going with "fell from the fucking roof", okay. Or rather, "was pushed". Is the indentation notable in any way? And are there any footprints up here or something to eyeball? ]

[vicedirector]

[ The indentation is person-sized.

Besides the snow being heavily disturbed, it's not really possible to tell what caused it--just that something was up here at one point. ]

[brawlhalla]

[ ALL RIGHT. :|a Is there anything else to note up here, or should she head back down? ]

[vicedirector]

[ There's nothing else of note. ]

[brawlhalla]

[ ollies out back down to the ground ]

[dereban]

[ You know what, since she is here, she's going to ask: ]

Did you find something up there?

[brawlhalla]

[ A brief nod. ]

He definitely fell from up there...that is, there was signs that a person was up there, and it's right above the body. So.

[ When she says "fell", she means "WAS THROWN OR PUSHED", tbh. ]

[dereban]

... If someone was up there, then how the hell did they get up there in the first place?

[ Because maybe the ladder or stepladder they used might be a clue? "Might" being the key word here. ]

[brawlhalla]

Flight isn't exactly an uncommon ability here. Apparently.

[dereban]

I"m just wondering if there's another way besides, you know. Flying.

[brawlhalla]

Climbing?

[ SHE COULD DO THE CLIMBING THING, TOO, TBH. ]

It's not like it'd be that hard.

[dereban]

The building is at least four stories high. If you want to attempt it, go ahead, though.
