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."

Re: I see dead people! (Aziraphale)

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.

Lana looked more than slightly disturbed at seeing Mr. Phale and Not!Wilson lying dead together. It was just too much like some of her nightmares. "Hello, Mr. Phale," she said quietly. "So, um, time and cause of death? Any other injuries or anything that would show up on a toxicology report?"

Re: I see dead people! (Aziraphale)

"Hello, Miss Lang," Aziraphale replied, with a reassuring smile. "Just doing a bit of acting, my dear. Probably not very well, either."

He nodded at the questions and said, "Time of death was 10:03, and it would appear that I was drowned. And the, er, toxicology report says that I had less than one beer to drink."

[ooc: *facepalms* Sorry, I stole Neil's TOD. *is ashamed*]

Re: I see dead people! (Aziraphale)

Lana nodded. "Thank you. Any trace evidence on you that I need to collect? Oh, and any other injuries you should report?"

[OOC: No worries. :) ]

Ami looked at the adviser of her Chess Club. "Hello Mr Aziraphale. Um. I won't ask how you are. Can you tell me your time of death, cause of death, toxicology report and any non-death-causing injuries?

Re: I see dead people! (Aziraphale)

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

"Hello, Miss Mizuno," he replied, a little cheerfully for a dead body. "My time of death was 10:03, and I drowned. The tests show I had less than a single beer to drink, but I do have some injuries. Bruises on my chest and on my knuckles, and a broken finger."

[ooc: Sorry, stole Neil's TOD. *facepalms*]

Re: I see dead people! (Aziraphale)

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"Aw, Mr Aziraphale, you have been fighting." Ami shook her head. " Any trace evidence around?"

Re: I see dead people! (Aziraphale)

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Mr. Phale? You're not really convincing." Parker gave him a little smirk. "Time of death? And cause of death? Did you drown, or did someone knock you on the head?"

Re: I see dead people! (Aziraphale)

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Aziraphale smiled sheepishly. "Acting isn't my best skill," he admitted. "Let's see...my time of death was 10:03, from drowning."

Re: I see dead people! (Aziraphale)

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Cool. Any other injuries? Any drugs in your system, aside from alcohol?" She grinned a little. "Any trace evidence I *really* need to pay attention to?"

Re: I see dead people! (Aziraphale)

[swerval_zero]

Zero dragged her handout over, spat it out, and mewed pitifully at Phale. //If you understood Cat, this would be so much easier.//

Re: I see dead people! (Aziraphale)

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

"Oh my," Aziraphale said, blinking at the little cat. "Yes, I suppose it would be. Er, I mean, will be."

He picked up the handout. "Would you like me to write down the answers to your questions for you?"

Re: I see dead people! (Aziraphale)

[swerval_zero]

//Please?// Zero asked him. //It's just that I haven't got thumbs. And the pen's kinda big, too.//

Re: I see dead people! (Aziraphale)

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Ho, Phale. How's it going? Afterlife treating you well?"

Re: I see dead people! (Aziraphale)

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

With a chuckle, Aziraphale replied, "Oh, it doesn't seem to be too bad. How are you doing, Mr Connor?"

Re: I see dead people! (Aziraphale)

"I'm... not the subject of a lecture. So far. Things are well. So... is this like the weekend you were a soopah agent, or is this just something you do on the side for spare change?" John grinned.

Re: I see dead people! (Aziraphale)

[imissmydolphin.livejournal.com]

"Uh, hi," Lucas said, and then got straight to the point. What was your time of death, cause of death, were there any other injuries? And is there anything on the body - you - that would show up in the tox screen?"

Re: I see dead people! (Aziraphale)

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

"Good day," Aziraphale replied cheerfully. "My time of death was 10:03, from drowning. Although I also have bruises on my chest and my knuckles, and a broken finger. The toxicology shows that I had less than a beer to drink."

Re: I see dead people! (Aziraphale)

[notawitch.livejournal.com]

"Hi there," Will said. "So, you know, I've just got the basic questions for you. Time of death? Cause of your death? Any other injuries or whatever? How did you enjoy the party?"

Re: I see dead people! (Aziraphale)

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

"Hello, my dear." Aziraphale nodded at the questions, smiling. "10:03, from drowning. Also, I've got bruises on my chest, bruised knuckles, and a broken finger. I'm afraid I didn't enjoy the party very much at all."

Re: I see dead people! (Aziraphale)

[the_merriest]

"Hi there!" Rikku grinned. "So, uh. How did you die? Any weird bruises? Does the toxicology thing show any weirdness? Oh! And what time was it that you died?"

Re: I see dead people! (Aziraphale)

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

"Good day, my dear." Aziraphale gave Rikku a bright smile. "I was drowned, I'm afraid, at 10:03. I do have some bruises, in my chest and knuckles, as well as a broken finger. And I don't believe the toxicology, er, thing will show anything terribly unusual. I had less than a beer to drink, and that's all."

Re: I see dead people! (Aziraphale)

[the_merriest]

Rikku beamed. "Great! Oh. I mean, not great, because you're dead, but then you're not really dead, right?" She smiled reassuringly. They told her the people weren't Unsent, and she believed it. Mostly.

"Wow, you weren't drunk, then. And you've got some pretty bad bruises. Were those maybe caused by falling into the pool, or was that way before you drowned?"

Re: I see dead people! (Aziraphale)

Billy shook his head disapprovingly. "To see an angel come to such an end. In such debaucherous circumstances. Tsk."

Re: I see dead people! (Aziraphale)

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

"Now, Mr Kessler," Aziraphale chided, in an amused tone. "What makes you think the situation is debaucherous?"
