On the other hand, perhaps this sort of gruesome murder is exactly what this world delights to see. It would have to be a rather amoral universe for this game to be appreciated at all.
I like to think I'm terrifying all the time, actually.
[She sifts through the books in the chest and removes the scattered articles of clothing. Each one will be examined carefully in turn but we all know already that there's not going to be any blood. The makeup at the bottom of the chest will draw a slight frown.]
I don't think Miss Aozaki herself wears much makeup, actually. ...Is there anything important about the color orange or does she simply enjoy hiding different colors about the room to surprise herself?
[She leaves the chest now and turns to Stiles.]
Miss Aozaki is a 'master rank puppet maker.' It does sound a bit ominous, doesn't it? As far as I can tell, though, she's simply quite good at making toys.
[Not that the toys weren't creepy, but.]
Do you know what this is?
[She refers to the glass with the rune.]

We'll see what we can do.
[totally being read.]
I'll meet Stiles in Ruby Wing so the two of us can moderate one another.
[And off Susan goes to Latvia's room.]

I wouldn't quite put it that way, but we haven't exactly been inundated with evidence that these incentives are genuine so far, no.
[Had Susan remembered that her important person was the present incarnation of Time, she would have scoffed at the very idea of keeping him hostage.]
As long as we're on the topic, though... how exactly did you first meet Riot and form the Stingers?

[ Oh Susan, you don't even know what you are asking. Rapture sighs dreamily, recalling it as if it was yesterday... ]
It was in Germany, I met Riot and Minx at the same time. They were in a band together prior to the Stingers called Nirvana, but obviously the rest of them didn't understand Riot's greatness. I ran into them one day while I was performing.
The moment I laid eyes on him... I knew we were destined for far greater than we ever imagined or experienced in life! The three of us knew what we had to do and the Stingers were born immediately after. After that, the three of us became inseparable. One of us can't ever do without the other.

[ Sonia goes for, uh... the next body part in line, which she is going to pretend is not the torso and is one of Belarus's arms. She grasps what she thinks is the left one and begins looking it over. ]

[ Turning away, holding her handkerchief to her nose, hoping that this is not the moment where she starts having an anime style nosebleed like in Sunny Esper Itou-chan.
It does not happen; somehow, she is a little disappointed. ]
A...anyway!
[ She begins examining the obstacle course. ]

[The initial impression isn't of picture perfect neatness but it's not exactly messy either. The bed is hastily made and the door to the wardrobe is slightly ajar. Behind the door to the room is another shovel, but unlike the one in Belarus's room this one has had most of the dirt knocked off it.
On the desk is a number of empty liquor bottles, with the exception of a half-empty bottle of wine. One of the smaller bottles has been filled with water and is currently being used as a vase for flowers clipped from the garden. The bottles in the cabinet are mostly empty as well but there are still a number of full ones. As well as the bottles there are a number of books piled up on the desk, mostly novels but there are a few non-fiction books on the cultures and histories of various other countries.
In the desk drawer is the previously mentioned diary along with the letter opener and the full bottle of chloroform. There are also a few blank pages of fancy stationary although it seems a number of sheets have been screwed up and thrown into the wastepaper basket near by]

[Her tongue is bitten as well. Inside the mouth, the blood is thicker. It would seem likely she was drooling somewhat.
The left arm actually does seem to have a large bruise on it, at about the elbow.]

The poison caused convulsions, leading to the victims biting through their tongues, and uncontrollable salivary secretions. ...That's helpful for identifying the type of poison, I suppose, if it's of any use to anyone.
[The head will be gingerly replaced and noticing that Sonia is glancing at the arm, Susan will take the unpleasant task of... the torso. Even as stalwart as Susan is, she can't help but choke back a retching motion as she manipulates the torso.
But they must be thorough. There's no way around it.
Other than the limbs being hacked off and the entrails being dug out, are there any other wounds of note?]

[ A bruise? How strange... Sonia makes note of it, then checks the other arm. ]
A bruise... Maybe there was a struggle...?

[what a valiant effort, Kaoru is touched...! and will leave with a polite bow to go check said garments. ...after wrapping the handkerchief from Susan tightly over nose and mouth because no this is already really gross...
but yes grabbing a few handkerchiefs and coming over to take a look at the clothing. Kaoru will be delicately holding them up and turning them around using the handkerchiefs as a buffer between hand and cloth, looking for any part that might be cut, burnt, missing, etc.]

Hm... That, I cannot disagree with. [a hum.]
He talks with relative ease about his time in jail, though. I do not believe that it is for any great offense, as you have surmised. It would seem to me that he simply dislikes several laws... I can understand the reasoning, as he has said that even simple things like liquor are banned where he comes from.

[The clothes are men's clothing, fairly standard and large, covered in blood. They are mostly intact and not ripped. There is some dark brown substance on the left shoulder that looks like soil. There is also a small burn mark on the right sleeve cuff.]
[The torso is hard to make much of. There are a few stab wounds, but it is difficult to tell if they were pre or post mortem, and they run into the parts of her body that were slashed up.
There is nothing on the other arm.]
There is nothing on the other arm.]
Doris says that's not possible. She wouldn't have let a plot go through that endangered more than two people because it's not a fun mystery.
So... whatever was poisoned was deliberately directed at the two of them.
