USMUDR 4 - 15/11/2013

[15/11/2013 21:51:50] Gem & Ini:   Gem stood in front of Yuki's door just as he did with Felix's whenever he visited at night. Only this time, he stayed quiet, solemn. His expression was blank, and he couldn't even bear to write an emotion along its fine lines.



Whoever did this broke his promise by default. He swore to them.. To all four of them, they'd all make it out alive in the end. Granted everyone else was important, but... Priorities, man. Gem swallowed hard, unsure if whether to pursue this or not. He couldn't bear Inirgo to see this body, but would he himself have the gall to..? No, he had to. He had to swallow all of his lament and anger to whoever did this and he had to bring justice. Justice to Yuki, justice to Inirgo... Justice to Felix.



His hands, cold as the knob he touched, slid around them without any noise.



Click.

[15/11/2013 21:51:52] Gem & Ini: Yuki Mikomi, found murdered by a slit to the throat by a nib pen found lying on the ground. There are four long scratches across her neck and face from fingernails. There is a drawing detailing two boys, one holding a blue eye, the other holding a green eye with incoherent words in the background. She died at approximately ten past midnight

At the beginning of the incision to the neck there is a deep hole, caused by the tip of the nib. Yuki is wearing a cape which has a lot of the blood spilled on it and there's some ripped up clippings in her pocket.

[15/11/2013 21:55:53] Gem & Ini: He shivered at the sight, frozen in place. There laid her, the one that brought a small smile to Inirgo's face, the sister of his companion. It was.. Strange, almost foreign. As monochrome as she was with her actions and words, she was still full of life. To see the dried crusted pink blood still around her neck, on her clothes, on her... Cape?



... Oh god... That was..



Gem could feel himself tear up. He had to lean against a wall for stability. No, no, that's right.. Inirgo, he...



"Eh? Ini? What happened? What's the occasion?"

"Huh? This? Oh, it's nothing special, really. Yuki had to borrow my cape for a bit, you know? I'll get it back the next time I see her!"

<p class="MsoNormal">"Aww, that's sweet of you. I see that you're taking after me quite well, hahaha!"

<p class="MsoNormal">"What?! Don't be like that!"

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">The words echoed in his mind. That's right, Inirgo lent Yuki his cape for the night a while ago. He was going to get it back from her, he was going to escape with her, be /happy/ with her!!

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Gem bit his lip as he pounded the wall with his right fist. Godamnit, how he has failed. He fucked up big time, he felt that he was at fault.

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 21:56:42] Gem & Ini: He didn't know how he was going to do this. How he was going to bring himself to inspect this body, but damnit he had to find the willpower to. He was able to at least point everyone in the right direction last time before it all went straight to hell.

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 21:56:47] Gem & Ini: He could do it again, he has to do it again.

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:05:11] Gem & Ini: With a couple of body-shaking, rattled breaths, he heaved himself up from the slump he gotten himself into. He had to remain strong, for his brother, for his friend.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale..

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Gemalli neared the body, this time with a new resolve. He used the neck ruffles of his cape to cover his mouth, to prevent the stink of rot to fill his nostrils too badly. He always found himself to be the last to inspect bodies, he didn't know why. As he neared the body, he felt a crumple under his shoe. He looked down to notice that he stepped on a piece of paper.

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:06:35] Gem & Ini: He bent down, flicking his wrist to again form gloves around his hand. He picked it up and saw that it was half of a drawing, of what appeared to be a young man with.. Eyes? Well, of course men had eyes, but, this one was in his hand. It was an azure color, one that Gem thought to be familiar.

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:07:06] Gem & Ini: It felt odd, though. Usually blue was accompanied with..

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">"Green." He scanned the floor to see if there was another drawing. Of course the edges felt rough; This was worn in half.

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:07:30] Fan: *Fan awoke, she felt unrefreshed. She'd slept for a good couple of days, it seemed only natural. She'd been awake for days on end, under stress, it seemed instinctive to just sleep the worries away. She walked alone an empty corridor, she figured the rest of her fellow "students" were resting. However she got to a room, and she saw Gem. She walked into the room, only to be shocked by the corpse in the room.* Y-Yuki..?! *Her eyes widened, backing off some, covering her mouth her hand, she would've had a much calmer front if she'd been more fully awake, although she looked to Gem.* Gem..? W-What...

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:09:01] Gem & Ini: "?!" Gemalli didn't expect for someone to come in. He looked up to see Fan, and noticed the horror in her face.

<p class="MsoNormal">"Bea- Err.. Fan." He managed to croak out. He looked down to the drawing in his hands, then to the body.

<p class="MsoNormal">Oh. Well /shit/.

<p class="MsoNormal">"Th-This isn't what it looks like, Yuki, she- She was killed two days ago! I thought you knew?"

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:11:13] Fan: A-Ah.. Uh.. I've been sleeping for a good awhile now, sorry.. *She rubbed her eye, examining the decaying corpse, she could confirm he wasnt lying by the state of the body.* Yuki.. *She sighed, giving a small frown.* Another death, so soon.. *She kneeled beside the body.*

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:12:20] Gem & Ini: "Y-Yeah..." Gemalli gave a sigh. "Inirgo was furious.. He.." He couldn't get into it, not now. "Do you mind helping me out right quick? Can you look around if you can see where the other half of this is?" He held up the drawing that was in his hands.

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:14:43] Fan: *She was going to question him on what he was about to say about Ini, although decided not to, she looked to him.* Alright... *She got up, scanning around the room, before finding a page slightly concealed by the bodies position, she picked it up, not bothered by the friction of the cold corpse on her warm hands, she looked to the paper.* Uh.. Would this be it?

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:15:03] Chiku: Ah, I'm sorry if I'm intruding... *her voice came from the doorway, having been making her way to the room to investigate a little more. The evidence left behind unfortunately held no clues onto who this could have been, and so she had returned in the hope of something new presenting itself.*

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:15:17] Gem & Ini: "That would be the one." Gemalli walked over to obtain the second piece.

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:15:47] Gem & Ini: "Ah, Chiku." Gemalli didn't look back at the girl, but at least he acknowledged her presence. It wasn't out of spite, but more that he was preoccupied.

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:15:53] Gem & Ini: Yes, the green eye. This made sense.

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:16:29] Fan: Chiku.. *She turned her head slightly to catch a glimpse at the girl, though soon turned back to take a look at the paper.* What is it..?

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:17:11] Gem & Ini: "Green and blue. These were Yuki and Felix's eyes. Although, I don't know as to why these are two boys?"

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:17:22] Gem & Ini: "It's odd, I'll tell you that much."

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:17:39] Chiku: *she stepped into the room, nodding at the two and glancing at what they were looking at but leaving them to look over it for now. She took to looking in a different part of the room, just in case there was more evidence in the room than just the body*

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:24:31] Gem & Ini: "Welp, time to take a closer look.."

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:25:06] Gem & Ini: Glancing around, Gemalli managed to find a table that had some stable lighting. Notioning for the lawyer to come with him, he went over and placed the drawing on the flat surface.

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:25:44] Fan: *Fan walked over to Gem, watching the drawing.* Hmm..?

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:25:45] Gem & Ini: Once in better lighting, Gemalli managed to match up tear for tear. They were the right pages.

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:25:52] Gem & Ini: But... Someting was off.

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:26:12] Gem & Ini: "This drawing." His mouth flattened to a line.

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:26:15] Chiku: *she looks over at him again, frowning a little in curiosity, taking a step closer to look*

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:26:25] Chiku: What about it...?

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:26:38] Gem & Ini: "It was drawn over the page. It's on top of the original illustration, but damn if I remember from where."

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:26:55] Gem & Ini: Under the light, though the words that weren't scribbled over were vibrant, visible.

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:27:21] Gem & Ini: BACK STABBING

<p class="MsoNormal">LYING RAT

<p class="MsoNormal">DECIEVING

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:27:50] Gem & Ini: ".... WELL SHIT."

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:28:00] Gem & Ini: It hit him like a lightning bolt!

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:28:17] Gem & Ini: "This-!! This is a page from the book Inirgo and I were lent!!"

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:28:18] Chiku: *she looks at the words, her eyes widening a little* What? I don't get it?

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:28:35] Gem & Ini: "Back on the first night!" He looked to the two girls.

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:28:46] Chiku: *she looks up to gem, watching his face* what was the book?

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:28:49] Gem & Ini: "When Felix and Yuki invited us here! They let us read one of their books!"

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:29:09] Gem & Ini: "This was one of the pages, this was from the story about the brothers that decided to fuck all and live their own lives."

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:29:17] Gem & Ini: But why a page from that book, though..?

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:29:20] Fan: Hmmm, I see.. *She looks intently at the words.* Do you know why that'd be written?

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:29:56] Gem & Ini: "It was a couple of phrases from the book, when one of the people they came across was cursing them out.. Everything else is scribbled off, draw on.. You can't make out any of it.

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:30:10] Gem & Ini: "But these words were left with intention. Why would they be left uncovered?"

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:30:37] Chiku: *she massaged her forehead, trying to flatten out the frown lines appearing* I don't know...

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:31:25] Fan: Perhaps they were written to point out the culprit?

<p class="MsoNormal">Perhaps someone reached out to Yuki?

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:31:33] Chiku: Of all the words... "Backstabbing", "lying rat", "deceiving"...?

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:31:46] Gem & Ini: "... Yeah, that could be.."

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:32:03] Gem & Ini: Gemalli's eyes skittered along the page, skimming it.

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:32:08] Gem & Ini: Damnit, what could she be trying to tell him?

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:32:12] Chiku: *she looked up at Fan, nodding* does that mean she knew?

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:32:55] Chiku: I mean... *she looked over at the body* that wound looks quick...

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:33:14] Gem & Ini: He felt connected to this somehow. Yuki was trying to get to him. He knew this was connected to him, as soon as he noticed the came. She had to have had it on her... She was trying to tell him something.

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:33:33] Gem & Ini: "Backstabbed.. Back stabbing?" He looked over to the body.

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:33:40] Gem & Ini: "Maybe there was another cause of death?"

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:33:50] Gem & Ini: Granted the first time it didn't really click, but maybe this time..

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:34:04] Gem & Ini: "Fan, hold onto these drawings with your life. I'm going to check the body.

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:34:15] Chiku: Another..? Maybe... *she approached the body*

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:34:48] Fan: *She took the drawings, folding them neatly before putting them in her pocket, approaching the body some, watching behind them.*

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:35:23] Gem & Ini: Gemalli was the first to make contact. With his other wrist flicked and covered with glove, he gently held Yuki. "Okay.. Easy now.."

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:36:06] Gem & Ini: Unhooking the cape that Ini had lent her so that it would remain on the floor, Gemalli gently lifted the small girl's body and placed her flat down on the ground, her back facing up.

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:36:16] Gem & Ini: When she made contact with the ground again, however...

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:36:23] Gem & Ini: Fft-fft-fft-fft-fft-fft.

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:36:35] Gem & Ini: Pieces of paper fell from Yuki's pocket.

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:36:53] Chiku: What are...?

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:36:57] Gem & Ini: "...?"

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:37:07] Gem & Ini: Gem looked down next to her to see the aged paper.

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:37:09] Gem & Ini: "What?"

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:37:21] Chiku: *she looked at the paper, reaching a hand out and taking one of them*

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:37:24] Gem & Ini: They... Seemed to be familar to him..? How could..?

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:37:31] Gem & Ini: After Chiku, he took some of the scraps.

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:38:46] Chiku: *She instantly froze. Weren't these...? She looked at Gem with a horrified expression*

<p class="MsoNormal">Gem... Why are these on her person?

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:39:24] Gem & Ini: Oh my god.

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:39:28] Gem & Ini: Gem looked up to Chiku.

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:39:37] Gem & Ini: "How about I ask you the same thing?"

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:39:40] Chiku: *she picked up more of the aged little clippings, looking over the familiar, horrifying words again*

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:40:22] Chiku: No, don't you /dare/, gem! I asked you to help me! *she looked back at him quickly, shaking her head*

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:40:48] Gem & Ini: "And that's what I /DID/!! I got rid of these, all of them! All of your grime and muck!!"

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:40:52] Chiku: Why does she have these? I haven't seen these since you took them away!

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:41:22] Chiku: *she threw the paper in his face, standing quickly* LIAR!

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:41:25] Fan: *She backed off some, slightly alarmed by the tones of them.*

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:41:38] Fan: P-Please..!

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:41:38] Gem & Ini: "Don't you FUCKING play games with me, Chiku!!"

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:41:42] Gem & Ini: He bolted straight up.

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:41:50] Chiku: Me? Play games!?

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:42:01] Gem & Ini: "I destroyed EVERY ONE of these!!"

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:42:10] Chiku: Then HOW are they here if you destroyed them!?

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:42:20] Gem & Ini: "How the fuck should I know?! What, did you keep one as a memento, was that it?!"

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:42:32] Gem & Ini: "Just like how you NEEDED to burn off one of them after the last trial?!"

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:42:36] Fan: *Okay now she backed off a good bit, her eyes widening, watching the two argue.*

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:42:47] Fan: P-Please..!

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:42:51] Fan: Stop..

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:42:57] Chiku: I burned my notebook! I was stopping all of this!!

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:43:15] Gem & Ini: "What, do you think you can pin the blame on me? Is that it?!"

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:43:18] Gem & Ini: He held up the clippings.

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:43:26] Gem & Ini: "Was this in your notebook when you burned them?! ANSWER ME!"

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:43:41] Gem & Ini: "Or are you going to LIE again? Is that it, huh? You think everything is a GAME to you?"

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:43:48] Chiku: *she was mad, absolutely livid. Her hands shook* No they WERENT!

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:44:12] Chiku: *without even thinking, she slapped him swiftly across the face*

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:44:18] Gem & Ini: !!!

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:44:41] Chiku: *she stayed still a moment, angry tears clouding her vision* I trusted you

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:44:43] Fan: *She covered her mouth with her hand, violence, she really didn't like this.*

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:45:01] Gem & Ini: "... You? Trusting..?"

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:45:07] Gem & Ini: "Just like how I trusted you, right?"

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:45:10] Gem & Ini: "That kind of trust?"

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:45:21] Gem & Ini: He looked back at her, the sting in his pink cheek still lingering.

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:45:56] Gem & Ini: "Just like you you led me with lies, that I actually CHANGED you? That I was the one that influenced you to get rid of all of this- this GARBAGE?"

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:46:08] Gem & Ini: "No, you left me there to DRY, Chiku."

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:46:20] Chiku: *she frowned, trying to keep the tears back* I didn't lie!! I wanted to change!

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:46:33] Gem & Ini: "You USED me like a circus act, and after I got MY hands dirty, YOU have the GALL to tell me that this was mine?!"

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:47:14] Gem & Ini: "Fucking- TRUSTING you!"

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:47:18] Gem & Ini: "AND I DID."

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:47:18] Fan: *She froze, but stayed incase she was to hurt him again, as a witness.*

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:47:21] Gem & Ini: "I made it all disappear!!"

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:47:23] Chiku: And you made it all disappear!

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:48:37] Gem & Ini: He was trembling, mad, horrified even.

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:48:46] Gem & Ini: Without another word he took the scraps as evidence.

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:48:56] Gem & Ini: God knows he wasn't going to let ANYONE get rid of these.

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:49:02] Chiku: I didn't-! *her fight was futile, obviously, and her tears started to spill down her fsce* what are you doing?

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:49:07] Gem & Ini: Not when they spelt the truth right in front of him.

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:49:15] Gem & Ini: "I'm taking these as evidence."

<p class="MsoNormal">[15/11/2013 22:49:18] Gem & Ini: "They were on her body."
