[Her trained combatant eyes will see one single, very clean wound in his chest. It's about the size of a quarter, but so clean that you can see straight through him. There appear to be burn marks around the entrance and exit wounds.]

[ she doesn't put her finger through the hole. i feel this has to be said because she kind of considers it? but holds herself back. someone praise her. anyway she...

definitely saw liz isn't moving any longer. shijima stands, hesitates for a second, and then goes towards the third floor landing where there was apparently more blood, still cautious.

are there more bodies. don't be more bodies? ]

[injectors]

[For shame. Totally should have stuck her finger in that hole for science.

That said, Angel tenses up as Elizabeth stops moving. She's been getting increasingly more acquainted with death over the past week, but this is by far the worst experience she's had. Swallowing the lump in her throat, she carefully moves Elizabeth's corpse. Positions her so she looks more peaceful and less like someone who died in a whole lot of pain. It's all she can do.]

... I'm so sorry, friend.

[Elizabeth can't hear them anymore. She knows this, but she still feels the need to apologize for being so useless. Ugh. She gives Elizabeth's corpse one last look over just in case there's anything on her to loot, or a less visible injury she missed, but... Once that's done, she stands up and turns towards the stairs.]

Shijima, have you found anything else?

[judgejudy]

[Good work on your self control, Shijima...

Angel won't find anything of note on the body. Elizabeth's only apparent injuries are a small injury to her head and the large apparent nosebleed.

Shijima will find several things on the landing! Fortunately, none of them is extra bodies. She'll find that the third floor's door is still locked. The blood trail near the door, if inspected, looks like the result of someone being dragged. There also appears to be small, evenly-spaced markings of some sort in the trail.]

[liven]

[ she'll examine the markings in the blood trail more closely. she's seen lots of blood trails before, surely that will help her here??? ]

More of the crime scene, I think...

[injectors]

[Any way to tell the size of the object the injury was made with? Probably not, but she might as well try.

That said, she furrows her brows and moves towards the third floor's landing, taking in the scene.]

... I suppose an incriminating message written in blood would be too much to ask for.

[And just to make sure: the blood trail goes through the door? Or is it just near it?]

[judgejudy]

[It appears to be small and relatively unobtrusive, possibly like she'd hit her head on something rather than someone whacking her. The trail also appears to end before the door.

Inspection of the markings will show that they appear to be some sort of treadmarks, similar in pattern to tank treads.]

[liven]

[ ??? ]

Something not human was here.

[ unless a human can make tiny tank treadmarks. ]

[injectors]

[HOW DESCRIPTIVE, SHIJIMA.... Luckily for Angel's sanity, she's going to take a look herself instead of asking what the heckie that means.]

Whatever made this, it couldn't have moved by itself. There are no robots in this Complex as far as we're aware.

[But there are no obvious footprints in the area, right? Also... does the trail look fresh or is it similar to the blood on Bigby and Elizabeth?]

[judgejudy]

[It's similar to the blood on Bigby and Elizabeth! And there are no obvious footprints.]

[liven]

That doesn't mean there aren't any...

[ honestly, she doesn't even know (or. care.) ]

But what purpose would a human have for this kind of odd mark? They're too small to really indicate pushing some sort of machine...probably.

[injectors]

Perhaps not a machine — but something akin to a wheelbarrow? Granted, even that seems far fetched.

[No footprints. No hints as to what this is. Great. How big, exactly, are the marks though?]

Elizabeth mentioned a female did... well, this. [The double murder.] If we eliminate the two of us, that would leave Ava, Rose, Alice and, I suppose, Judy.

[Though she doubts it was Alice.]

[judgejudy]

[The marks come in a set of two, with each tread track being about a foot wide and spaced about a foot and a half or two feet apart.]

[liven]

Alice wouldn't have. And I like Rose.

[ SO, AVA OR JUDY. :)

shijima you can't just discount people because you like them but guess what she sure did. THOUGH SHE ALSO DOESN'T DISPUTE ANGEL'S INNOCENCE because she also likes angel. ]
