As seen on tv: Forensic Science, 1/31 5th Period

[cheerfulgoth.livejournal.com]

The box of lab coats is next to door of the danger shop and Abby is perched on a lab counter, flipping a DVD in the air. After checking the class over for a few minutes, she hopped off and started pacing.

"We've got a blood free class today and I hopefully that makes some of you happy. Today we're going to do two of the things that I hate doing. But that doesn't mean that you have to hate today's class. Maybe you'll love it. Maybe your new favorite class with be today's class on..." Abby walked over to the overhead projector and turned it on, illuminating a worksheet on toxicology. "...stomach contents!"

Abby launched into an extremely handwaved lecture on how to test stomach contents. "Also, you're going to pouring over security camera tape to find the bad guy. It's like looking for a needle in a black and white really grainy haystack. Not a favorite thing of mine to be doing, but if you're into that sort of thing you'll have a ball."

Opening the door to the crime scene, Abby moved to show the students the layout. Chad lay slumped in a chair at a very fancy table in a wealthy looking room. Chad's shirt had greyish looking vomit drying on it and the leftovers of dinner were still on the plates in front of him. "This is Chad. Poor dead Chad died before he finished his dinner. I wouldn't recommend nabbing anything off the plate though. You need to figure out how Chad died and who did it. You'll do that by using the skills we talked about in class earlier."

"Go get 'em!"

Ami carefully copied down the notes ontothe handout.

JOhn took notes with minimal doodling.

Rikku took notes. She might just be getting the hang of this class. Maybe.

Re: Lecture

[janet_fraiser]

It was entirely possible Janet was having too much fun with this class. The only thing better? An actual cadaver to practice on. She scribbled gleefully on the handout, only just remembering in time not to include extra notes for theories on which aliens could have poisoned Chad, and what technology they could have used to do so.

I see dead people!

[cheerfulgoth.livejournal.com]

Ask the "dead" person questions!

[Chad isn't really dead so normal playing rules apply, don't do anything to the character without checking with the mun first.]

Re: I see dead people!

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"Hi dead Chad. When did you die? And from what?" She also looked round to see if there were any other injuries. "Anything else odd about your body? Any sign of struggle?"

Re: I see dead people!

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Yo." John waved. "Time of death?"

Will shook her head as she looked over the crime scene. "You know, Teddy's going to be disappointed when he hears that you've died." She smiled, and looked over her question sheet. "So, Chad, eat anything usual for or with your dinner?"

Mac is much, much happier when there's a lack of blood. She wandered on over to Chad, worksheet in hand. "Hey there, Chad," she greeted. "How's death treating you?"

Re: I see dead people!

[imissmydolphin.livejournal.com]

Lucas kept his distance from the really big guy. "Hi," he waved and looked at the checklist. "Okay, uh, when did you die, how did you die, were there any other injuries and are you allergic to anything?"

Re: I see dead people!

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Chad," Lana said with a smile. "Nice to see you. Sorry you're dead. So, time and cause of death? Any other injuries?"

Re: I see dead people!

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Hi Chad. Ewww," Parker made a distasteful face at the vomit, and asked, "So, what would I find inside your stomach? And did it kill you?"

Re: I see dead people!

[the_merriest]

Rikku hopped down next to the "dead" guy. "Heya! So, did anything taste funny? Did you eat some of everything on the tray? And, uh, is there anything else I should ask?"

Re: I see dead people!

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Ew." Billy grimaced. Yeah. Blood and guts? He was totally fine. Vomit however grossed him out.

"So, Chad. Let's start with cause and time of death."

Re: I see dead people!

[dorky-broots.livejournal.com]

Broots took a deep breath. "So...when did you die?"

Re: I see dead people!

"Well this squalls," Zero said teasingly. "Who'm I gonna get to play bass now?"

Crime scene

[cheerfulgoth.livejournal.com]

Check out the food in front of Chad. It's got leftovers of mashed potatoes, a bowl of soup and a cup of tea. Watch the crime scene footage to see waiter bring in the soup...and pause in the hallway before serving it. Or the chef bring in the mashed potatoes...and pause in the hallway before serving it. Or the butler bring in the tea...and pause in the hallway before serving it.

[Watch the tape by yourself or with others.]

Re: Crime scene

Ami watched the video. As it was a security video, it was blurry and pixelated. Damn those multiplexed tapes. She loaded a demo copy of VideoFocus (http://www.salientstills.com/index.html) onto the lab's computer and fed the tape into it. Much better. She could see the butler pour something into the tea.


oooh oooh i can use the software i helped write!

Re: Crime scene

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

John ran the tapes a few times, and captured some of hte stills to be cleaned up in a photo editing/enhancing program.

Lab

[cheerfulgoth.livejournal.com]

Test the stomach contents!

[ooc: Okay, I know NOTHING about this topic, so my thought was to separate out the food and test for which one has been poisoned. But I have no idea if you'd be able to do that or not, so if you want you can just have just one type of food be in the stomach or whatever. Surprise me!]

Re: Lab

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

Ami looked at the stomach contents. Ugh. She started the labwork.

CHUNG CHUNG

[cheerfulgoth.livejournal.com]

The three guys are lined up against the wall and it's up to you to decide whodunit. Prove by your lab work and crime scene video who's the bad guy. Abby is watching nearby.

[Mod the bad guy! Mod all the guys!]

Re: CHUNG CHUNG

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Lana showed the crime scene video where the chef slipped something into the potatoes just before entering the room and the results of her food testing which clearly showed a large amount of cyanide present in said potatoes.

OOC

[cheerfulgoth.livejournal.com]

Major thanks to Chad for being our dead guy!
