final investigation

[arsholes]

[It's been almost a week since Orthrus' lucky escape. Almost a week, of all calls to Heisenberg going (metaphorically) to voicemail. Almost a week, to rest and recover from the harrowing losses of the previous Friday.

It's been almost a week. And the storms are getting worse.

You know the locked door on the first floor? The one that goes into the center of the tower, right across from the great entry hall doors?

Today, there's a heavy iron key sticking out of the lock. With a familiar crest on the head.

The key is sticky with wet yellow paint, and wetter blood.]

[Heisenberg also did some ominous notetaking in the margins.

(Also, Jasper's autopsy is just a polaroid of the pendant that dropped when he was executed.)

The notes say things like "Seems in good physical condition" for Wu, "non-human" for Red Velvet and Fern, just "NO" across the page for Zenos...

Notably, the autopsies for Stella and Loki seem to be the least detailed, out of the ones he had time to thoroughly autopsy (meaning not the last three, either). Olive's also has barely more than the obvious details and none of the ominous footnoes, but there's something about it that seems more clinical than the other two.]

[ Ominous notetaking? Well, let's take a look then.

Felix keeps his face straight at just the picture of the pendant just barely.

...Because, like, okay. What was he meant supposed to do?

Anyway, his eyes flickers over the rest, though he does notate them including the least detailed of the two, and how clinical he was with Olive's. He will keep flipping through the pages to ensure he doesn't miss anything else either. ]

[There are some doodles in the back of the notebook. Of funky vaguely human-shaped monsters breathing fire or acid or something.

It looks like something that a seventh-grader would draw, with scribbles of "blood" spurting out everywhere. One of the monsters is holding a doodle that is probably supposed to be Somnus in its teeth. Or, like, maybe half of Somnus.

Given that this doodle is upside down and in the back of the notebook, it probably got there by him flipping the notebook over and drawing in the back, so you can guess it was probably made before Somnus died.]

[ .....

Oh my GOD. ]

What frivolous nonsense.

[ He has little to no doubt that Somnus would absolutely have enjoyed seeing this one.

Jokes aside, Felix will set the notebook down after double-checking it and ensuring there is no other important things or funny business (literally) going on here. Then, on second thought, pocket the thing because sure. Why not? ]

[arsholes]

[The only other thing to note in this room that isn't typewriter-related is that this isn't the room where the bodies are stored.

Technically speaking that makes it more of an autopsy theater than a morgue, but still.]

[replacementshield]

[ Well hopefully no one's planning on conducting an opera in here-

That aside, he is going to look around. No additional doors of note? ]

[arsholes]

[There are no visible doors.]

[replacementshield]

[ CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.

Felix is going to look probably dumb touching at the walls for a bit. C'mon, open sesame!

...It'll probably open when someone does something right with the typewriter, huh. ]
