Event Mingle

Who: Everyone
When: Day 6
What: An unpleasant surprise
Where: Courtyard
Warnings: A corpse (Let the mods know if threads go into territory that requires additional warnings)

It's a pleasant day and the sun is shining in through the courtyard's glass roof. Maybe that only serves to draw more attention to the bright colors of an unfamiliar figure sitting in the shade of a tree.

That is, someone who is both unfamiliar and quite dead. Closer inspection will reveal she died from the wooden stake that's still stuck through her heart. There are a number of lesser injuries present as well; whoever this was, she clearly went out fighting. And she clearly wasn't pleased about the situation, as one of her hands seems permanently stuck flashing the middle finger.

With all her clothes in place, two odd marks will be visible. First, there are several thin bands on her pinky finger, tattood in red ink. There are also dots on her neck that almost make it look like someone bit her, but on closer inspection, it's not blood but a similar red dye. Should anyone be intrepid enough to remove her clothes, there are several more red tattoos to find: a knife on her back, a noose on the front of neck, a broken bottle on her right arm, a gun on the left, a mace on her left shoulder, and something across her heart that's been obscured by the stake injury, but might have been an arrow.

Perhaps most curious is that anyone with any knowledge of the subject might be able to identify that the death isn't recent. Whoever this corpse belongs to, she's been dead for a while. There's no one around to give any answers, so exactly where she came from and what she's doing in the courtyard now remains quite a mystery.

A pair of bubble blowers, meanwhile, have been placed into the weapon cabinets. It's equally mysterious what they're supposed to be good for.

Vampires do exist, although they come in all sorts. Besides, most things die from a stake in the chest. [He just...shows up behind her.]

S-scientifically speaking, it makes ZERO sense for vampires to exist. Someone probably just... really liked vampire romance fiction and whoever killed this person thought it was funny to use that against them. Which is AWFUL. They should feel awful!

[ SHE feels a little sick, that's for sure. ]

We definitely shouldn't touch the body, this is a crime scene. Someone needs to alert the authorities... ARE there any police here, even? Any Security AI... anything?

Scientifically? Vampires are monsters, they can do things that science can't explain. [He nods to himself as he looks at the body.] Some of them go back to a more normal form when killed, though. I haven't seen anyone who looks like a policeman around, either.
silentasterisk: (Angry ✼ A bit miffed.)

Um, science can explain EVERYthing.

[ She practically huffs. ]

If it hasn't been explained by science, yet, then they just haven't found an answer to it, is all. Vampires don't exist. They're not real. It doesn't make any sense for there to be actual vampires here. This person probably just liked fictional ones. But... the bigger concern here is the lack of police! If there's no authorities, who're we gonna report this to?

Oh, alright, believe what you will. Until you're actually in danger from a vampire.

Do you think anyone here has that kind of authority? Although they all seem to be here already...

I mean... is being in danger from a real vampire that likely? Aren't they weak to a common household seasoning?

[ She suddenly feels less sure of herself, but... come on. Vampires? Really? ]

Well, last one I met had a mortal stooge who went around getting it blood. Used to be a perfectly nice statue until she started messing things up too. [He does have some respect for temple statues. One protected him for a while when he was younger.]
silentasterisk: (Uncertain ✼ They keep mentioning IT)

[personal profile] silentasterisk 2017-03-23 03:00 pm (UTC)(link)
... I... what?

[ You've lost her. ]

Are you saying you KNEW one?!
grimalkid: (chuckling)

[personal profile] grimalkid 2017-03-25 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, and it tried to kill me too.
