Introduction to Law Enforcement, Monday

[my_own_advocate]

"Hello, children!"

How did Lucifer manage to pair that bright grin with a look that read please stay at the agreed-upon distance? "Welcome to our crime scene."

... They were in the Danger Shop, yes, made up to look like the intersection in front of Lucifer's new house. There was a body on the ground, on the steps of the Post Office, and the wreckage of a rickshaw just a few feet away, in front of Fast Eddie's.

"Today is the first of our classes on observation. Observe the crime scene."

A long pause.

"... Well, go on, observe the crime scene. Do I have to do everything around here?"

You could, presumably, at least try to give them some kind of sense what they should be looking for, Lucifer.

He did not.

Stand There

[my_own_advocate]

That's not exactly a lecture.

Re: Stand There

[following_my_fishie]

"But why is it a crime?" Delirium asked, throwing a puzzled look between the rickshaw and the db. "He's just dead."

Beat.

"Oh. Ohhhh! He's littering!"

Re: Stand There

[my_own_advocate]

Lucifer made an exasperated noise. "No, you strange, feeble-minded creature," he said. "There was a murder. Obviously."

Re: Stand There

[following_my_fishie]

"Can't be," Delirium shrugged, "It's not a person. It's a bunch of light that sort of looks like a person? But it's not even alive."

Observe the Crime Scene

[my_own_advocate]

There's an upturned rickshaw on one side, and a body on the other...

The Body

[my_own_advocate]

Appears to be a young man with tanned skin. His blond hair is covered in blood, hailing from some wounds at his temple. Cause of death?

... Look closer, rifle through his outfit, and you'll find a bullet wound embedded in his side. He has a lighter and two roll-ups in one pocket of his jacket, and an aspirin and a phone in his other pocket. It's an expensive-looking iPhone.

Re: The Body

[mother_forker]

"Oh. Hey. Free iPhone!" Eleanor said taking said iPhone and holding it up. "I get to keep this right? I mean, this poor forker isn't going to use it."

Re: The Body

[intotheout]

Tip was not rifling through the body's outfit. She was pretty sure you were supposed to wear gloves when investigating a crime scene, and she didn't have any.

She was poking at it with a pen, though. She had one of those.

Re: The Body

[following_my_fishie]

Del marched over from where she'd been speaking with the teacher and announced, "I am observing the it's-supposed-to-be-a-person-dead-by-murder-thing."

She sort of nudged the body with the toe of one boot. "It is not moving. Good for you, body! Dead people don't move much except in comics. Very good job being a dead person. Um. But why are you dead?"

The body probably wasn't going to answer.

Re: The Body

[hashtag_chocobro]

And see? The good thing about starting with taking evidence photos of the rickshaw was that, by the time he'd gotten to doing the same for the body (ugh!), it looked like his classmates totally had it covered! They were totally all good, no one needed gross photos of dead bodies! They were a team, right? Right! So good. Good. They got it pretty good by now, right?

RIGHT.

The Rickshaw

[my_own_advocate]

Is definitely upside down. There's damage on the front, consistent with where it might have hit something. There's a hole in the protective covering near the passenger seat, too. Could it be because it hit something and catapulted a body onto the street, perhaps?

Unless, of course, you can tell that that is nowhere near the amount of damage you'd see on a vehicle like this if it had actually crashed into an object that would've sent someone flying. A few feet away, two footprints lead towards the city.

Of course, you'd have to remember to check for some...

Re: The Rickshaw

[hashtag_chocobro]

Well, the first thing Prompto was going to take care of was checking the scene for any murdered kids, but once that was clearly not a concern, he took out his camera and started shooting pictures. Of the rickshaw first. He was feeling maybe he should have gotten the body first, just to get it over with, because yuck, but he instead decided to try and build himself up to it.

But pictures seemed like a good idea, since if you still wound up stumped, maybe you could go over them and notice something you hadn't noticed at the time of investigating the scene. Or you could totally dramatically enhance the image to reveal something new as if it totally actually worked ou tthat way!

Re: The Rickshaw

Lana eyed the rickshaw, then looked back at the victim.

"If he wasn't the driver, where's the driver? If he was, why isn't he in the thing? What did it hit?"

What's Your Theory?

[my_own_advocate]

Share it with the class.

Talk to the Teacher

[my_own_advocate]

Yes, he did program the Danger Shop to put a comfortable chair just outside his house for him to sit in, why?

Re: Talk to the Teacher

[mother_forker]

"Yo creepy teacher," Eleanor called out from the street. "Normally the next step in a crime tv show would be to go into the post office and ask questions. However I've been banned for life on entering a post office. I won't get busted will I?"

Re: Talk to the Teacher

[my_own_advocate]

"We're in a computer simulation. Of course not," Lucifer tsked. "Speaking of which, you've got some moxy with the iPhone, and you're making a head start on our class about acceptable evidence sampling, but this is a simulation and bringing that with you is futile."

OOC

Re: OOC

[unusual_sith]

Okay, I have a question I thought I'd never have to ask - are the Fandom rickshaws pulled by people, or do they have engines? I always assumed the former, but when I looked up rickshaws, I only got auto ones.

Re: OOC

[my_own_advocate]

I always assumed they were bike-driven? Mind you, I am a Dutch person and bikes is basically where I live. (Of course, with all the stairs on this island... anyway.)

I'm not going to rule on All Rickshaws (tm) but assume a bike-driven version for this one, with a little plastic windshield.
