[Said through the muffled confines of Poland's sweater, which totally reaks of whatever perfume he could find in his room and the Amethyst bathroom.]

Can whoever did it just confess now so I don't have to spend the weekend throwing up on everything.

[The murderer this week is a total asshole.]

[Susan calmly passes out a few black handkerchiefs to those closest to her while shielding her own nose, following the Hostess's example.]

I imagine most of us want to volunteer to search the victims' rooms and the suspects' rooms to escape this mess. You should probably go ahead.

In any case... given that we don't have much evidence at all yet, this proposal should be taken with a grain of salt. But I believe it possible that Belarus and Altman were both poisoned - Altman by accident, Belarus purposefully. There was nothing to gain from killing both of them. In fact, with one dead, all the other deadweights and dispensables ought to have been quite safe. A double murder was likely to occur this week, but the wrong two people died.

If we can assume that the killer wasn't simply a deranged psychopath out to kill as many people as possible, it seems safe to assume that the two victims were killed either unintentionally or by necessity. What I mean by the latter is that one might have gotten in the way while the murder was being carried out. However, Altman was found dead in his room, and there were certainly signs of struggle in Belarus's room, which seems to indicate that she was set upon by the murderer in private.

On Wednesday night, the killer poisoned something they believed Belarus would partake of. Unfortunately, poison is indiscriminate about its victims, and Michael imbibed as well. Michael later returned to his room and expired as peacefully as can be expected after succumbing to the effects of the poison. The killer never knew that he had died as well. Belarus returned to her room, and the killer entered in the dead of night, expecting her to be either dead or incapacitated from the poison. They intended to dismember her in order to cover up the means by which she was killed. However, perhaps because Michael had taken some, or perhaps because she was accustomed to ingesting poisons, the dose used wasn't enough to kill her outright. A struggle then occurred in Belarus's room, but she was too weakened to fight properly. Regardless, the killer was forced to use a kitchen knife to stab her several times, leading to the scene we discovered there.

Once incapacitated, Belarus was taken to the kitchen, dismembered, and her body parts were hidden about the house.

The major flaw with this scenario is that no items would have been awarded to the murderer beforehand - the death with the monetary prize attached would most likely have been Belarus's, explaining why she was the main target. In the absence of being given poison and a skeleton key, the killer would have had to have found a way around it. It's possible we missed some poison in the house. It's also possible they simply feigned concern after hearing Belarus vomiting from the poison and asked to be let in, and she did so in her impaired state of mind.

[ Is Rapture wearing a slightly ridiculous outfit for this trial? You bet she is. Does she have her crystal ball in hand? You bet she does. She stands boldly amongst the crowd of people with her hands in the air. The crystal ball glitters underneath the light as it rests in her palm.

She's doing this for Riot. Or rather, whatever (possibly) Lin-Z is (possibly) trying to pass off as Riot. If it's a show they want... then it's a show they will get! Nobody will ever be able to refuse the Stingers after this, leaving Jem, the Holograms, and the Misfits in the dust. ]


You seek answers! [ She randomly points to someone. ] But will you ask the right questions? You can try your luck... if you wish.

...

May I ask... whoever spent much time with Belarus...

What was her preferred choice of alcohol?

Feh.

[He looks fairly disgusted, though not really about the smell so much as the world in general.]

You all clamor to accuse me. I see my perceived guilt is such I will be identified once again. You will suppose the manner of this slaying fits my loathing for mankind, or perhaps you will vilify me by suggesting I would disperse her parts even though I have no need for such theatrics. Hah...I see your accusations now, your votes in stone. You call for my "alibi" and desire to tear traipse through my room all to solidify the conclusions you have already reached. Yes, mortals are so predictable. Do you not see that in your false morality, the true villains are all of you?

Well, my enemies, let us engage. In order for this battle to be fair, I will provide my whereabouts, and I will permit the most ordinary among us all to search my room as you see fit. Let us see how you may strive to cast your blame, fools and pharisees alike! Ask your questions!

So I'm not the only one who's noticed that there's something pretty major we haven't found yet, right?

I mean, this isn't exactly like the case with Minatsuki. Belarus didn't accidentally dismember herself and have her limbs magically float to different areas in the place. Whoever did this had to have gotten blood all over them. So where are the bloody clothes?

[And Lithuania heads off with Poland to go do body retrieval.]

Most of the body parts are in the foyer, but the torso is still in the kitchen, I think. [He's being very matter-of-fact, but it's more like he's compartmentalizing than anything.] It might take more than one trip just to bring everything of that body back.

Bar

[As per Sonia's request, Poland collects all the bottles and glasses left out in the bar for possible poison testing.

Unless there's something else in here to find? Please. He doesn't want to go back to that room immediately.]

[addressing the group on a whole:]

Excuse me... Does anyone else here have surgical or medical knowledge, or expertise with, ah... anything that may help when looking at dismemberment more closely? [wow, that sure is a thing Kaoru never expected would be necessary to say.]

If we can determine how messy the removal was or if the culprit knew what they were aiming for in their cuts, it may help some...

Hang on. So we've all been talking about this potential poisoning thing, and what the killer's plan could have been. Whether they meant to kill both Belarus and Altman, whether there were two killers, but… Is it possible that maybe... one of the victims killed the other? And then someone else killed the remaining one? We don't have a concrete time of death for either of them.

Okay, so maybe the poison thing makes it seem like they were killed by the same person. But you never know.

Room Search

[personal profile] allice 2013-10-25 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
Alright, well I think we know the drill by now: suspects need to have their rooms searched just in case. From my understanding Belarus and Altman's rooms were already searched, right? If that's the case we can skip them, unless people feel like they should be re-searched.

[She unpockets her key.]

Who wants a crack at my room? Any takers?

Kaoru has made a good suggestion... I ought to share some of my knowledge. You see, studying serial killers is a hobby of mine. I find it very thrilling that- [ she pauses, as if rethinking the appropriateness of that sentence, and thankfully stops herself there. ]

...Anyway, she suggested that I describe the sort of person who performs such a brutal murder. I shall do that.

What I believe we have here is someone who did this for pleasure. There is no reason to dismember a body and hide the parts in such a manner without some sort of mirth or enjoyment behind the act. Regardless of why the victim died, such mistreatment was truly unnecessary.

So... if we look at historical examples of brutal murders like this one... It always lines up with a very specific personality type.

We are looking for a killer who is intelligent above average, controlling, vain, arrogant, and... affable. This sort of person is, primarily, very pleasant to converse with, contrary to what you might think. The most successful murderers were those with charming personalities; people with a warm smile and the ability to put others at ease.

Of course, there are exceptions. But please keep it in mind... There is a certain pattern to human behavior that has been analyzed and proven time and time again. And for thrill killers... Well, it's always the most unlikely person.

Guys? I don't know how far we're going to get with this CSI stuff. We don't know anyone's full motivations, so however we look at it, it's just guessing.

I think all the suspects should talk about whoever it is up there they're worried about. I'm sorry to make you do it. I'll share mine if it makes you feel better. But we need to know about the stakes.

[ Sonia returns from Altman's room search, holding a bundled bedsheet by one knotted corner. The formerly white sheet is crimson with blood. ]

E-everyone. Please attend.

[ She carefully unknots the sheet, revealing blood-soaked men's clothing. ]

This was found in Michael's closet. And also... I would like to note that there are bloodstains worn into the carpet by the door. I believe... these were the clothes that were worn when Belarus was murdered, and they were brought into the room, creating the stains...

...

Either way, Michael had to have already been dead, for the killer to be able to use his room as a hiding place... Which means that he likely died before Belarus.

Does... does anyone have any ideas about the pink fluid Mr. Stiles described? I-If we really are looking at a poisoning attempt, I would have thought it would be colourless so as not to draw attention...

Also, um... it seems like vomit has been mentioned a lot. Was there any similar pink fluid in that?

[ She does not have her crystal ball today, but she is dressed very snappily. There is no change in her demeanor... in fact, she seems hardly upset or worried at all. ]

Achtung! Sonia and I have been working on a song that we'd like to perform from both for all of you and the audiences at home. It's a song from her own nation of Novoselic that will be accompanied on the piano by Miss Nevermind and backed by my vocals.

[ She turns to Sonia and gives the cue. ]
