Abby welcomed students into the danger shop with the box of lab coats as usual. "Afternoon, guys! We've got a lot to do before we head to the crime scene so lets get cracking."

Walking over to a chart, Abby explained the human ABO blood type system and how to test blood to determine it's type. "Each lab station is going to be set up with this testing equipment." She held up test strips, droppers and the antigens for blood testing. "It's easy. Drop the blood on the strips, add the antigens and see if they react. If the blood reacts to the A antigen it's A blood, if it reacts to A and B antigen it's AB blood, etc. Then do a RH test and to see whether the blood is positive or negative."

Abby walked over to a large block of gray clay that had several knifes sticking out of it at all angles. Grabbing a large knife, she drew it out and then plunged it back into the clay quickly. "This is forensics clay. You're going to stab it today to see what sort of wound different objects make. Match the wound in the clay to the wound in the victim and you've found your murder weapon."

"Now, let's get to the fun stuff!" Abby moved to open a door onto the crime scene, an upscale study that held, among other things, a deceased Molly Hayes, laying across a couch. "Police found Molly during a party at a very ritzy house and detained the other guests. They need you to figure out how she died, what was used to kill her and who did it."

"Also..." Abby looked around the room for Broots. "Just to make things clear, the dead people aren't really dead. The blood isn't real and the bad guys are figments of the danger shop's imagination."

"Now, get to work!"

Check out the scene, chat amongst yourselves, check for murder weapons. Try not to pass out.

The room is full of potential weapons. Letter opener, scissors, candlesticks, lead pipe, crystal award, golfing trophy, statuette, sharp bookend, metal hanger, picture frame, wee metal sailboat, umbrella.

[ooc: The wound photos that everyone will have gotten from Molly will have a different wound pattern so you can decide what weapon matches your photo. Also, take as many things back to the lab as you'd like. There's enough of each item to go around.]

Lana looked carefully at the photo, comparing it to the different possible weapons in the room, then gathered up a bunch of the ones she thought most likely to go test. She could always come back if she needed to.

Zack carefully collected all the items that looked like they might match the wound pattern.

And a few that didn't just to be sure.

Mac has her photo and is going around collecting up various lethal-looking items. Right now, she's trying to figure out whether she really thinks anyone could actually murder someone with a coathanger.

Ami carefully looked over the crime scene. After a long stare at the photo of the stab wound she took the wee metal sailboat to look at, along with several other items.

"Hey there, whaddoo you got?"

'The wee sailboat and this lead pipe here."

"I got the crystal award, golf trophy and statuette. It's possible we got different wounds."

"Possible. Want to go stab clay?"

Billy grinned like a five year old. "yes please."

Come on then!"

[ooc: join mein the clay stabbing thread?]

ooc: sure.

Cassie looks at the wound pattern, and realizes what she's after. She grabs the umbrella to take to the lab.

Broots was working on the last bit of instruction: not passing out. It turned out to be harder than he thought.

"Are you staying vertical this time?" Parker demanded.

Broots stammered something that sounded like yes.

"I can't hear you... take a deep breath. No smell of putrefecation, see?"

"Yes?"

"Good man." Parker slapped his back, not hard. "Just pretend there are Sweepers watching. And they'll kick you if you fall over."

This is what a petrified teenage boy looks like.

Zero collected everything that looked like it could be stabby and make the particularly stabby pattern in her photo and headed for the lab.

Billy picked up the crystal award, the golfing trophy, and the statuette. They seemed the most likely suspects. "Hmm, murder at a party? Jealous lover maybe?"

Lucas eyed the potential weapons and the photograph of the wound and collected a few possibilities, then headed to the lab.
