DanganRonpa: Prepare for Despair

When Alex looked around the workout room he saw glass pieces on the floor by a treadmill. He walked over to it to examine it closer. Upon further examination he notices they're thin and fine, looking around the mirrors are all together and really nothing in the room could have produced these shards. He then says "Maybe these could have made the scratches on her leg, but how did this glass get here?'

Felix picked up the slip of paper Alex had looked at. "Do you think this is Nadine's secret too?" he asked Devin.

"Well it's not mine," Devin said with a shrug. "If it is someone's, I doubt they would tell us, so we don't have a way of knowing for sure."

Julie walked over and looked at the glass, "It has no blood on it. If someone got rid of the fragments, it might be it. Then again it's too thin for how the wounds on her leg looked." she walked away and looked around a bit more. Hidden next to the yoga equipment was a dumbbell stained with blood on the weight, lying on the ground. The blood was splattered as if the dumbbell had been dropped on the ground after the hit. "Think I found the weapon for her head wound over here." She looked a bit closer, trying to spot anything out of the ordinary.

"It must be Chris'," Leit remarked, "His father was an alcoholic. It makes sense."

"But why would she be carrying around Chris's secret?" Felix asked with a frown.

"I'll go with you, Liam." Alicia looked over at Heather and Leit, "You two need to go look around too. We've got a lot of ground to cover. As for the secret, didn't you say something about it during the trial, Leit?"

"I told you all mine, when we got ours," Liam recounted. "I never mentioned it during the trial, however." He looked at the paper containing the secret. "That could be Chris's, but his father's alcoholic status is too flimsy a lead. Having had an alcoholic and abusive father myself, and met many such individuals, I find that more often than not, such children are more likely to go in the opposite direction." He turned toward the door. "Well, that is my input. Shall we then, Alicia?"

Alicia nodded and followed Liam.

Liam peeked into the workout room as they passed by. "The murder weapon?"

"Julie found the dumbbell that hit her over the head." Alex replied.

(OOC: The murder weapon was the rope Lys was hanging with. If you're talking about what hit her over the head Julie found it earlier, it was a dumbbell.)

Julie stood up, "Not a murder weapon, per say. Probably the object that caused the wound on her head." She folded her arms and looked away. "All four of us investigating in the same area is useless. Go look elsewhere. We're all big boys and girls." She sneered at him.

Liam nodded. "I know, I just wanted to be on the same page," he said a look of mild annoyance, but a neutral tone. With no further business, he continued along the hallway to the Workshop.

(Actually it isn't necessarily the rope, she could have been strangled with hands.)

Liam and Alicia walked into the Workshop, Liam surprised at the cleanliness. Alicia walked around examining the room. She looked over at a few of the machines. She stopped over next to a press. "Hm? What's this?" She moved her finger across the press. She brought her finger back to see small traces of glass on her finger. She looked around for a garbage can of some sort, and found one close to the far corner next to the work brench. She looked in it and found a small pile of crushed glass. "Found something over here." she called back to Liam. 

(OOC:Liam got a helluva low roll so no message for Drae.)

(Wow, what a turnaround.)

Liam came over to have a look. "Is there any blood on it? It could be why her foot was bandaged," he said after he caught sight of the pile.

"Can't tell. The shards are too small. What other reason would you get rid of them though?"

"I wonder how long ago it happened," Liam wondered aloud as the issue occurred to him. "The injuries on her feet could have been there since yesterday, or even before that..."

"Some of the wounds on her legs were still open. Wouldn't it make more sense that the wounds happened at the same time?"

"I meant the ones on her feet, which were bandaged," he clarified. "They could have happened at different times."

That sounds too convenient. When would she have done it? It's not like we have windows to get the glass from. There are only so many things that can break."

Liam shrugged. "I don't have any answer to that." He stood up. "Is there anything else of note here, or should we move on to the next room?"

After a while, Devin looked up at the bar that the body had been hanging from. "Any clue how that blood got there?"

Alicia walked around the room for awhile. It wasn't completely organized, so from what she could tell, nothing was missing. "Nothing from what I see. Let's move on."
