Forensic Science 2/7, 5th period

[cheerfulgoth.livejournal.com]

Abby was on the phone when the students entered the danger shop; arguing with someone about a Caf-Pow! delivery. "You're already one day late. I can't be held responsible for my actions if you don't get it here today. No, that's not a threat against you. I'm a high school teacher, it's not like I'm going to come after you or anything. It's just that I've accidentally killed the wrong person already because I didn't drink enough Caf-Pow!, I don't want that to happen agai-hello? Hello?"

Abby shook her head and slammed down the phone. "Stupid delivery men." Pointing to the stools in the lab, she stalked over to the whiteboard to start the lecture. "I'm not in the best of moods today so lets try getting through the lecture quickly so you can go do your crime scene work. Today we're talking about trace evidence. It's the itty bitty things that are found at crime scenes that you'll be responsible for collecting, cataloging and identifying. Trace evidence includes hairs, fibers, soils, botanical materials, residue from gunshot or explosives." Abby gave a handwavy lecture on using microscopes and lab equipment to test evidence. "Basically, you're going to be collecting everything and bringing it back to the lab. Most of it will be crap, but some will help you solve the crime and identify the killers."

Walking to the door of the lab, Abby walked through, motioning the students to stand with her around an outdoor pool. The water was drained from the majority of the pool, leaving a few dirty feet of water in the deep end and two bodies in the shallow end. "There was a party here last night, lots of drinking and dancing and two deaths. Some say the men just had too much drink, some say they committed suicide. It's your job to gather as much trace evidence as you can and use it to discover what happened."

Pointing to a stack of rubber waders, Abby stood back to let the students put them on and climb down into the pool. "This is Aziraphale and not-Wilson." Abby glared a little at Neil and shook her head. "Apparently when I've not had enough caffeine, people are a little fuzzy to me. In my defense, he looks very similar. Whatever. Neil deserves to have his murder avenged as well. Remember to get the trace evidence from the water in the pool and the bodies. Go for it."

Ami took copious notes.

Parker was smiling a little cynically, and wondering what Abby would make of a bullet hole left in an elevator for eight years.

Zero perched on her desk and paid attention to the lecture.

John took notes and tried not to have flashbacks to the underwater Spy class.

Will took detailed notes during the lecture. Part of her wondered just how many different things you'd need to take samples of to be through enough.

Re: Lecture

[the_merriest]

Rikku scribbled down notes, wondering if her teacher was okay. This caffeine stuff sounded nasty.

Billy'd seen some pretty nasty bar room brawls start when they ran out of a particular brand of beer. So he totally knew where she was coming from.

Crime Scene - Pool

[cheerfulgoth.livejournal.com]

The water is kinda icky and cold but full of lots of trace evidence including gray button, black button, dirt, leaves, bits of food, carpet fibers, floaty bits of food and party debris.

[ooc: Feel free to mod whatever you'd like in the water (within reason). Broots, try not to faint and drown.]

Re: Crime Scene - Pool

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

Ami picked up all the various leaves, buttons and fibers. She also picked up a party hat, a plastic cup and a bow tie.

Re: Crime Scene - Pool

Lana carefully picked up and bagged every bit of trace evidence she could find - the button, dirt, leaves, food, carpet fibers, and some of the party debris that looked interesting.

Re: Crime Scene - Pool

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker took different bottles with carpet fibers, the food, and the party debris, as well as the buttons. "Ugh ugh ugh ugh..."

Broots was trying to the assignment with his eyes closed.

John picked up a little bit of everything: gray button, black button, random pool smegma, food bits, leaves, fibers, the whole shebang.

Lucas rummaged through and picked out bits and pieces. He then headed to the lab.

Re: Crime Scene - Pool

[notawitch.livejournal.com]

Pulling out some plastic baggies, Will grabbed a sample of everything that looked like it might be important; a button, a couple of leaves, some dirt, a used napkin with bits of hors d'oeuvres still on it, a sample of the pool water, a couple other things.

Re: Crime Scene - Pool

[the_merriest]

Rikku made a face as she sifted through the grimy water, fishing out little bits of debris. A few buttons, some fibers, and ... ew. She was getting tongs or something for the food bits. NOT touching that, thanks.

Re: Crime Scene - Pool

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Billy looked at the pool skimmer, considering. Then the first thing the pulled out of the water happened to be a bikini top.

"Ooooookayyyyyyyy." He picked up all that other stuff too. Thank god for the gloves.

I see dead people!

[cheerfulgoth.livejournal.com]

Neil and Phale are lying close to each other in the shallow end of the pool, looking pretty dead.

[Neil and Phale aren't really dead, so normal playing rules apply. Don't do anything to the character without checking with the mun first. Also, there are two dead bodies, whee! Talk to one, talk to both...it's up to you!]

Re: I see dead people! (Aziraphale)

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Aziraphale lay sprawled out on his back, trying to look convincingly dead and yet not actually dead.

The fact that he kept looking around to see what was going on may or may not have aided in this endeavor.

Lab

[cheerfulgoth.livejournal.com]

Use the microscopes and various handwavy equipment to test and identify the trace evidence. Use it to build a scenario of what happened.

Re: Lab

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Lana carefully examined all the trace evidence she'd collected and began trying to figure out what must have happened.

CHUNG CHUNG

[cheerfulgoth.livejournal.com]

Abby is pacing in front of the bad guys, grilling them about how much caffeine they had been drinking today. There was a movie mogul, a crime boss, a tree hugging hippie, a dotcommer and a federal judge.

[Mod the bad guys!]

Re: CHUNG CHUNG

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Lana carefully presented her evidence showing that the crime boss had worked the two over before his son, the tree-hugging hippie had helped him finish them off.

Major thanks to Neil and Phale for being dead people today!

Also, anyone who wants to be a dead person (has to be student or faculty characters who are not currently in Abby's class) sign up here (http://cheerfulgoth.livejournal.com/5359.html)!
