Eye of the Falls

[SpaceRavens03]

The aftermath of their victory is.....a little mixed to say the least. They got the crystal,gnomes got defeated,they have no idea how they're gonna move the enormous size-altering gem,and currently.......the Greek dude mistook one of the gnomes for some sticker for his shield. The little teddy(?) puppy tried to stop him,but she got carried up alongside the shield pretty easily (Points for trying though.)....until the short humanoid fox (Wait,is she a fox or a wolf? I just can't tell.) tore the gnome off the shield. At the same time,the armoured guy who gave an approving things up during the squad name chanting strode towards both the squid-lady (Thanks for the mess miss,'preciate it.) and the Greek warrior dude,probably pissed about what they've done. (I mean,it's not everyday you see a heavily armoured man march towards you like some terrifying hockey masked killer.)

Well,maybe "tore" is a little bit of a strong word,but the main point was that the little guy's now free from becoming a living sticker. Prompto noticed the axe Felix was holding glow,getting the latter's attention and prompting him to reluctantly lean on the axe for support. It was then the gunslinger noticed something.

“Wait.....does your axe by any chance...actually talk to you?”

  Felix watched the scene play out in front of him. It was... well, it fit the group, that was for sure. It was nice that everyone was bonding and everything, but personally, the man wanted to get back to the Shack to he could get patched up or...or something at least. He'd heal pretty quickly, but right now he just felt sharp pain. The Messorem looked to his ax once more and smirked.
  
  The blonde looked away from his ax and to the other blonde as he asked the question. "The ax? No, it's just a weapon." The man stated. "The souls inside the ax, on the other hand, they talk." Though he didn't have the power to see the souls of the living, or the power to control the souls of the dead, the four souls that rested inside of his ax he could, at least, communicate with. "It's a long, boring story and I doubt you want to hear it." The man looked up when the ax glowed once more and rolled his eyes.

Mid-Round Update
“First Blood”

The manotaurs all glanced to each other with cocked brows, letting out a few grunts in response as Epsilo and Nemu called them out. They all stood up, glaring upon all of you… before letting out various “BOO’S” and giving everyone thumbs down.

“BOOOO!!! WEAK!!” They all shouted towards the group as a whole. Eventually, Chutzpar spoke up, saying, “Hey guys! Who wants to go build something and knock it down?!” He asked. All of them began cheering in agreement, before exiting the cave and chanting “MAN! MAN! MAN! MAN!” repeatedly down the hill.

“I thank you again, brave warriors,” The multi-bear said, nodding his dominant head as he gazed down upon all of you. “I wish you luck on your journey home.” With that, the Multi-Bear pressed “play” on his radio, and “Disco Girl” began playing on the radio again. Byakuya let out a frustrated sigh and turned to face all of you.

“I don’t see how staying in this rat infested cave will benefit us any longer,” He stated bluntly. “We should head back.” He continued, despite having just joined your group in the first place. With nothing much else to do here aside from listen to Icelandic pop sensation BABBA!, you all nodded in agreement and began to head back down the mountain. Before the all left, however, Dipper would turn to Cole and look up at him.

“Look man, I dunno what your deal is, but in case you forgot, it was Grunkle Ford who sent us all out here. I didn’t tell you all about the Multi-Bear being nice because, in case you didn’t notice, those manotaurs are kinda freaks… so saying that around them when they could’ve heard us would have been a really dumb idea.” He explained and, no matter what he replied with, Dipper would have turned to walk back down the mountain alongside Byakuya and the rest of the group.


As everyone met up, they would see Fulgore carrying the crystal that the gnomes had knocked over, with Morgana and Slugcat atop his head, looking rather smug with themselves. It was over all an adorable scene and Mabel couldn’t help but make the same smug expression and micmick the same body language. “Go Sweater Squad!" She cheered. “Sweater Squad! Sweater Squad!” She started chanting once more.

The gnome struggled against the group, not feeling particularly safe considering the fact that his skin was stinging from the spray Callie had used to free him. “Let me go!” He grunted, swinging an arm around. Though it was too short to make an impact on anything or anyone. He grunted in confusion as someone else grabbed him away from the squid girl. Some blonde guy who didn’t look very happy with the gnome. “Ahhh! AHHHH!” The gnome yelled as Achilles shook him up and down. “Help me!” The gnome called to Isabelle as she did her best to do just that. To his relief, some other dog creature came and helped him. Ripping him from the garbage like it was nothing, though it did hurt a bit, and handed him kindly over to the yellow dog. “Thank you.” The small, bearded man gasped to Whisper as he clung to Isabelle like a child.

Seeing Felix rejoin the group, Mabel smiled to see that he was okay...well, alive. She turned her attention when she heard everything going on with the gnome and glared down at Achilles along with Doomguy.

Luna had offered a helping hand, or wing, in blocking the light from the crystal so it wouldn’t cause any issue with shrinking --or growing-- anyone from the group. Allowing the group to start heading back with absolutely no worries about that. Which was great, as the group didn’t run into anymore gnomes, or anything at all for that matter, on the way back to the Mystery Shack.


The two groups finally reconverged in the woods near the Mystery Shack. Dipper and Mabel smiled to each other as they met back up, while Byakuya stared on in contempt. “Hey, Mabel!” Dipper exclaimed with a smile. “How did your group’s mystery hunt go?” He asked.

“Oh, it went okay. The gnomes turned into that giant gnome thing again,” so she had known that they could do that. “Felix got hurt.” Mabel pointed back to the stubborn blonde who was leaning heavily against his large ax. Apparently his had walked the whole way despite his injuries.

“Eh, kinda the same.” Dipper explained with a half-hearted shrug. “We came across those weird manotaur guys… along with this new guy.” He said, before motioning to Byakuya, who only grunted in response. Turning back to Mabel, Dipper cocked a brow as he did a headcount over her group. “Uhhh… Mabel..” He said as he tapped her on the shoulder. “You’re missing someone from your group. The big armor guy.”

Mabel looked confused for a second before turning around to face the group. “Armored Steed?” She called, looking around. “Doomguy?” Still nothing. “Um...maybe he just got tired and had to rest. He fought really hard.” Mabel explained, turning back to Dipper, no worry in her voice or on her features. “He fought really hard again the gnomes. He even saved me.” She smiled at the memory of being hoisted from the surrounding gnomes and onto the Doom marine’s shoulders.

“Yeah, maybe.” Dipper replied with a shrug. He wasn’t really too worried, and what little worry he did have he hid for Mabel’s sake. He smiled to her and cocked his head back towards the woods, before saying, “C’mon, let’s go back and look for him. Grunkle Ford can wait an extra five minutes.” He said with a smile. It was the right thing to do, not to mention that Mabel seemed to be pretty attached to the large muscle man herself.

Mabel grinned and nodded, hurrying after Dipper and back into the woods to go find her savior and steed. “Doomguy?” She called again as the group continued their venture into the woods.




After a bit of searching and calling for the soldier’s name, you all eventually found Doomguy… though not in the way you expected. The marine was slumped up against a tree, looking almost as if he was sleeping. His helmet was still on, though no movement could be seen from his limp body. One could even assume he was sleeping, however, a bit of blood trickled onto his suit and dripped onto the ground.

“Doomguy?” Mabel asked stepping forward. She saw the blood, but didn’t seem to register it as she gently gripped the man’s armored arm and shook it. He was heavy, so he didn’t really move. “Hey, Doomguy, wake up.” Mabel said, though there was a crack in her voice. The little girl stepped back, gripping her brother’s sleeve with a tightly balled fist. “He’s resting...” She murmured, but there was an edge to her voice that let her twin know that she knew better.

“He’s dead.” Byakuya said coldly as he stepped forward before Dipper could even get a word out. He stared down at the body with pure cold, emotionless contempt in his eyes.

“What the heck, man?!” Dipper shouted as Mabel only buried her face into his sleeve at the words, tears running down her face as Dipper reached an arm around her shoulder to comfort her. He didn’t know what to say at all. Sure, he could comfort his sister when there were weird little gremlin boys trying to date her or the like, but… he’d never encountered an actual dead body before. He just stood there, completely frozen in shock, and all he could do was pat his sister on the shoulder, trying to lead her away from the body.

“There is no use in denying it.” Byakuya replied again as he adjusted his glasses. “All it will do is provide a misguided sense of hope.” He turned to look up at Dipper, meeting him dead in the eye. “And while hope can be a good thing, only a fool would confuse it with ignorance.” He said, and all Dipper could do was look away from the teenager as he continued to comfort his scared sister, rubbing a hand through her hair as she shuddered and sobbed into his shoulder.

“No!” Mabel yelled, pulling away from Dipper and turning to Byakuya. “You’re a jerk face!” It was uncharacteristic of her to yell in an angry way, it was even more uncharacteristic of her to call someone mean names, and mean it. The little girl turned away from the gruesome scene and ran back to the Mystery Shack, tears falling down her cheeks, which she attempted to wipe away or at least hide with the sleeve of her sweater.

“Mabel, wait!” Dipper shouted as Mabel ran off to the side, tears welling up in his own eyes as he watched his sister, before he turned back to face Byakuya. He didn’t even have any words to say to him, the boy merely shaking his head a few times before he ran after Mabel.

“Tch. I suppose such behavior should be expected of mere children.” Byakuya replied emotionlessly as he watched Dipper and Mabel run off. “Now,” Byakuya began, turning back to the rest of the group. “The best course of action would be to investigate the body thoroughly and examine it for clues.”

Meanwhile, Doomguy would find himself waking up in a strange place. The entire world around him was pure black and white and devoid of color, and he appeared to be standing in a field of some sorts. An empty swingset could be seen behind him, as well as an even more destroyed looking portal than the one that had been in Ford's bunker. Even through his heavy armor, Doomguy could feel a slight breeze throughout the air around him... almost as if someone was watching him.

Tenshi Hinanawi|One Has Left Us

Tenshi stared at the dead body of the super soldier that was Doomguy, just standing there and staring for a while. She felt nothing, really, but was still surprised someone had died among all of this. She shrugged, walked over to the dead corpse and trying to find any wounds or anything at all she could trace to a weapon - anything. Bullet, blade, anything would be of use to figure out who might have felled this man. She didn't say a word but focused intently on any open wounds, if any are even exposed through the armour and the body. The question is 'are' there any wounds to be seen?

Kanna Kamui

Kanna thought it was over. They got the crystal, regrouped with the cave team, and what? They had to go back to find Doomguy...and lo and behold, they found him...dead on the spot. "Prompto..." She quietly spoke, horrified at the disgusting sight as she hid behind the blonde gunslinger trying to look away.

"Seriously! What's wrong with you?"
-Valentine

Valentine became silent as she noticed that she was ignored by the Manotaurs. They went deeper into the cave as they saw some kind of being that had multiple bear heads on a singular body. It was probably due to radiation, the nurse thought as genetic anomalies could be caused by it. He seemed boring, he expected something more mystical. She noticed a fancy-looking man walk in and stop the fight while he proceeds to lead the group out of the cave.

They met up with Mabel's group, as they discussed some events that happened. They mentioned that one person was missing, some kind of soldier named 'Doomguy'. They proceeded to search for him as they found him, lifeless. Mabel cries while Byakuya scolds the girl. The twins run after each other while the man looks smug. Valentine proceeds to look at Byakuya in his soul with the most disappointed stare she ever made while shaking her head. "Shame on you for making a child cry."

The nurse proceeds to examine the body as she questions to the group, "Can somebody help me remove the armor?" She puts her bag of medical supplies on to the side as she grabs her stethoscope and other tools used for examinations. She wondered what caused the death of the man. She proceeds to remove the chest-plate while she uses the stethoscope to examine his heart, he's dead.

Well, that was too easy. Not a single bullet was wasted. Those Manotaurs? Nah, probably not gonna bother them. We got the claw thanks to that Byakuya bloke and we met with the crystal team. Finally, we can get out of this shithole. However, someone from the crystal team went missing. Just my damn luck. We went looking for the guy and some time later, we found him dead on the soil. Poor lad, never get to talk to him. Our only choice now was to investigate, and we did. Some nurse came up and ask one of us to help her remove that guy's armor. "I'll help you out." I step up as I say. I went over to the body as she removed the chest plate for her to examine his heart beating. Sure enough, he is dead. His armor is something that I could have not imagined. It seems to resemble those helmets worn in those Juggernaut suits. I carefully remove the helmet and I got welcomed by a disfigured face. "Jesus Christ..." I muttered, shocked by his look.

{Side: WISPON}

Whisper smiled at the gnome as it thanked her, making sure to pet it a bit before the group decided to head back to the shack, their task completed at long last.

{Side:ANOTHER ZI-O}​

"So that's it then?" Hiryu asked as they received the claw from some pompous blonde boy who befriended the multibear. Although the Manotaurs did not seem to like it one bit, Hiryu let out a sigh of relief. At least it's nothing to worry about anymore. Dying without killing Sougo really isn't his style.

Without a word, Hiryu followed Dipper's group back to the Mystery Hack, seemingly glaring at the pompous blonde bastard along the way. Something about him didn't sit right with Hiryu. Why was he there when the others allegedly couldn't leave the shack? Does the law of whatever-it-is didn't apply to him? Questions circled around Hiryu's mind as he went along with the group, shrugging the thought of. At least Hiryu wouldn't have to see the bastard again after Ford fixes the portal.

{Side: Despair}

Regrouping at the Shack, Hiryu simply laid his back against the shack's walls, crossing his arms as he glanced at the forest group who had just returned with an annoying chant, the wolf girl from before with a mask covering her face, pumping her fist along with the chant. Hiryu rolled his eyes in annoyance as the forest group finally stopped chanting, although they did seem to be missing a person.

"Do we have really have to look for him?" Hiryu groaned, "He's probably just late." He shrugged, wanting to at least get a bit of rest. I mean, come on, the guy just trekked up a mountain and back!

"No." Whisper shook her head at Hiryu's annoyed grunt. "Something's wrong..." She said, just then, the group decided to head back to the forest and look for the guy.

While looking for the armored man, Hiryu was walking beside the wolf girl, Whisper, who had a mask covering her face.

"Hey, Whisper." Hiryu thought he had came up with a fitting nickname, tapping the wolf girl's shoulder as he called out her name.

"Yes?" Whisper turned to Hiryu with a soft yet shocked tone. "How did you...?"

"That's ACTUALLY your name?" Hiryu's eyes widened as he asked that question, "I was just guessing." He shrugged, looking back ahead, shutting up for a second.

"...W-...What's yours?" Whisper stuttered, not sure if she should even ask.

"Kakogawa Hiryu." Hiryu answered, glancing at Whisper to see that she's slowing pronouncing his surname. He lets out a sigh as he then walked ahead of Whisper, ignoring her as a new discovery had unfolded.

It was the armored man, slumped on a tree. It was hard to tell because of the mask, but he's hardly moving at all. The truth was then revealed by the pompous blonde ass.

He's dead.

"He's...!" Hiryu gasped upon hearing the peculiar blonde man saying that the man in the suit of armor is actually dead, gulping in surprise. He glanced at the blonde one more time. How can he tell the man's already dead? Had he dealt with situations like this before? What is he, some kind of hard-boiled detective?!

Whatever the blonde was, standing around isn't going to solve a murder. It's strange really. Hiryu's supposed to be the one to do the killing back in his universe, yet here he was, about to investigate one. He rubbed his chin as he proceeds to walk around the tree, looking for anything that can be considered a clue.

Meanwhile, Whisper fell to her knees after seeing the human in armor and hearing that he's dead. She just couldn't believe it. She was sure he was alive a few minutes before...Although, come to think of it, she did notice him lagging behind while coming back, but Whisper did nothing about it, assuming that, well, he's just tired from all that fighting he did.

Underneath the mask, Whisper was breathing heavily, tears starting form from her eyes as she stared at the body. She just...Couldn't believe it, no matter how hard she looked.

Shadman, the Controversy Artist

They eventually reached the Mystery Shack with the other group seemingly fine, Shaddai wonders if they had to face something wild like a tsunami of Gnomes attacking them and biting their ankles, he'll ask them later about their encounters but not right now, maybe when they eventually get their free time and then he'll ask what those people have been through, Shad thinks that they had to fight for their materials while his group managed to do it peacefully without resorting to violence, they even met a new person in the cave but the problem is that he's fucking annoying if Shad was being honest, all that blunt and smart act that he's showing does not sit well with The Artist but oh well, we can't just leave him in the caves so whatever, as long as he doesn't bug Shadman then he's fine, he guesses.

Sometime passes while Shad placed his Sketchpad and Pencil in the counter so he won't carry it around anymore and followed Mabel to find Doomguy, they eventually found him but he doesn't seem to be in tip top shape, in fact, he's fucking dead. What the hell happened?! This revelation made The Artist shiver a bit, there must be a reason why the presumably strongest fucker in the entire group was dead, is there some kind of traitor among them? Now he was cautious with these people because the traitor(s) might try to pick them off one-by-one, this isn't a good situation to be in but Shad has to stay safe because he still has a life to go back too. Whoever done this cannot go away so easily with these many people around, hopefully somebody smart can solve this case before the murderer strikes again and what is Shadman going to do? . . . He doesn't really know. The Artist will probably just try to stay safe because there are already people investigating the body. One of them even managed to take the helmet off to reveal one hell of a disfigured face.

"What the fuck." Shad mumbled. "Who would do this?"​

 

[thatguyinthestore]

"I apologize, but protecting a naive little girl's 'precious feelings' is not on the top of my priority list." Byakuya said to Valentine in a harsh tone as he turned to Valentine. He crossed his arms soon after, before turning to look back at Doomguy's body. "Isn't it obvious?" He asked to Shadman as he got a good look at the marine's body despite not even standing too close to him.

Upon removing his mask, Soap would find that his face was in fact not disfigured, but rather, he appeared to be an older male, probably forties or fifties. His eyes were closed and his mouth lazily hung open, appearing almost as if he was in a deep slumber. A bit of blood did trickle out of the corner of his mouth, however. When Tenshi further examined him, she would only find one injury of note. That injury was a small, but still noticeable, stab wound on the side of the Doom Marine's throat.

"We have a traitor among us." He finally finished after quite the long pause.

Tenshi Hinanawi|Stab Wound

Tenshi noticed the stab wound and sighed. It was but a small one - dagger size, if she had to guess. "It sure seems like it... The wound looks to be a small one - dagger or something like that, and it seems like they went right for the throat... Who the heck uses something that small among us as a unified group anyways?" Tenshi thought aloud. Well, it obviously cannot be her - that is a sword, too big a size in comparison to the stab wound in the dead Doomguy's throat. She glanced around to the others, as if she's like 'so is anyone gonna come forward or not'. Seems like she's taking this pretty seriously - not every day someone dies before you even get to know 'em.

"What the bloody hell did you say?!" I shot up when I heard Byakuya say something about a traitor among us. "There is a traitor among us? How the fucking hell do you know about that?" This is getting too fucking outrageous. We've just arrive in the scene and that young man gots the balls to say that there is a traitor among the many blokes who happens to just got into this hellhole in the first place for about many hours now? This is a load of bullshit.

Shadman, the Controversy Artist

"We have a traitor among us."

"Yeah, it could be you for all we know." Shad said, Nobody was dying when he wasn't around so all signs are pointing towards this newcomer.

Shadman didn't really know much about these people so he's not gonna jump to conclusions just yet but he definitely has his eye on Valentine and Byakuya over there, he doesn't trust them one bit but who is he to investigate, he's no hard-boiled Private Eye and he's not that smart either, just a bit wise and sane for somebody that draws a lot of shock porn but then Soap started shouting at Byakuya. He should calm down before Shad started suspecting him to be the traitor or at least one of them, something tells Shad that there are more than just one traitor around the team, who could they be? What would they do next?? Oh, so frightening! He definitely needs a can of beer after this mess because it will help him calm down, he doesn't work well when stressed out, I mean, who does?

"I'd keep an eye on The Nurse if I were you guys, she seems pretty sketchy."​

"I get what he means." Hiryu spoke up, finally circling the tree and finding nothing, taking a good look at the body. "This guy doesn't look like he'd let his guard down on anyone except around those he trusts." He assessed, soon glancing at the other masked one who suggested the blonde prick was the traitor. "Not possible. That asshat's with us the entire time." He shook his head, crossing his arms. "Unless he left while we regrouped back at the shack, we don't know for sure." He deduced, glancing at the body before glancing at the others. "One thing's for sure though...All of the Sweater Gang's a potential suspect." He said, knowing that the guy was with the forest gang.

This prompted Whisper to perk up and stand up, staring at the others as she mutters "No..." while shaking her head, denying that she had anything to do with the murder. A suspicious act, but one out of sheer fear and denial...

Shadman, the Controversy Artist

"Pfft, no need to call him an 'asshat'." Shad said, holding in a laughter, that would surely piss Byakuya off but he might be the type to ignore insults and just keep going so he might be wrong there but enough about Hiryu's insult, he wanted to see if there was a nervous face along the crowd of oddities, narrowing his eyes as he darts them around the group to see if anybody looked shady or suspicious enough to be a suspect. Sure, if he sees a nervous face, maybe they're just worried about the traitor killing them next but The Artist isn't taking any chances because if he sees a nervous face, Shad is definitely keeping an eye on them, just in case they do anything hasty such as scoot away from the group or something but it would probably be best for Shadman to just sit on the sidelines and watch this unfold, he doesn't want to get caught in the crossfire of accusations because with his mask and sunglasses and overall moody clothing, he'll clearly be a suspect to them because he looks like a serial killer with his fashionable outfit and also because if he takes the lead of the investigation of Doomguy's death, then The Traitors will clearly target him so it would be best to just let the others do his job for him or maybe he can investigate in secret.

"Don't ask me to help you guys find out who the traitor is, i'm not a detective." He lied to make himself look useless so the Traitor's wont target him. He'll be a secret detective, looking for clues while also looking like he's not contributing much to find out who The Doom Slayer's killer is.​

Achilles​

Disappointed that his torment of the small creature came to an end at the behest of Isabelle, he didn't attempt to pursue the gnome any further. Rather, he planned on how to get back the small creature when nobody was looking. Then, when he got back, whenever that was, he could show off how great of a warrior he was by bringing back a creature that didn't even exist! Too perfect. Well, probably not. The fools would still cower behind their walls regardless. Perhaps, there was some other way to get into those walls? He pondered on this as they made their way back with the rest of the group.

But when somebody pointed it out, something did feel quite wrong. He hadn't noticed Stranger amongst their ranks. Surely, the armored man would be fine out there, right? The body spoke otherwise. Others bickered and squabbled, but Achilles for once, was stunned. He barely knew the man he considered friend, he didn't even know his name, or what his face looked like, but there he was, propped up against a tree, motionless. The greek hero slowly approached him, until he noticed a trickle of blood running from his throat. How? Why? He lightly prodded his own neck, at the spot where the bleeding came from, glad that it wasn't him. Immediately after, he felt incredibly guilty for feeling that. How could he say that about his friend? He would've gladly exchanged his life for this stranger's... right? A new feeling rose up within him. Not guilt, not pity, not sorrow, but anger. The same anger that came with the death of his best friend, the same anger that came when his wife was stolen away from him, and the same anger that overtook him when he executed Hector.

His veins visibly throbbed on his neck and arms as rage became him. "ΟΧΙ!" (NO!) He shouted, and from the wary looks everyone gave each other, somebody here had done it. Somebody had the actual nerve to kill his friend. In a time like this? "Θα βρω ποιος το έκανε αυτό!" (I will find who did this!) He shouted to nobody in particular. Achilles was simply too angry to think, he only wanted revenge. His eyes darted around the group, one of them had done it.

The stab wound... Too small for a real weapon. Who else held weapons of a coward? The courtesan with the dress? She wasn't with the group. The courtesan with the big hat? He practically fought alongside her, she couldn't be suspect, right? What about the one he tried to fight earlier? He couldn't think of anybody else in the "SWEAT SQUAD" earlier that had blades. His glare settled between the two.

"Ένας από εσάς σκότωσε τον φίλο μου." (One of you killed my friend.) The warrior muttered. His hand gripped tightly at his sheathed xiphos, but he soothed himself. The killer would be found. Instead, he leaned himself on a tree, watching both of the two women, his figure visibly gripped by rage. He would taste blood, if not for his own sake, but for his dead friend.

How did this happen? He thought to himself. The fact that someone managed to murder Doomguy without anyone realising washad him worried for everyone else's safety,including his own. The last thing anyone here would've wanted is to die in a world they do not have knowledge of whatsove,Prompto was sure of it. Eventually,he noticed Kanna hide behind him in fear of the corpse that is Doomguy. Kneeling to look at her face to face,the gunslinger gave her a reassuring headpat in hopes of consoling her.

“Don't worry,we'll make it out of here alive,I promise.”

Looking back at Doomguy's single wound that took the latter of his life,Prompto frowned,wondering who had killed the armoured dude,and why they had done it.

Fulgore carried the group and crystal until they reunited the siblings and discovered poor Doom Guy. Fulgore didn't get any life signs from him, and immediately knew his fate. Poor bastard was taken by surprise. Some of the others immediately began to suspect betrayal, but Fulgore could take a guess, having been preoccupied with carrying both the crystal and companions, knew he couldn't be on the list.
"An unfortunate end. And not one he would have wanted."
Unfortunately, Fulgore was not built for investigation, but for combat. So any suspicion he had probably weren't reliable, and would be kept to himself, unless someone asks.

[Necessity4Fun]

"Hahahahahahaha! SUCCESS!"​

Acting as a mix of a boomerang and a bowling ball, Julie's self-throw had proven quite effective against the piled-up gnome monstrosity. Despite the enormous tail, she had managed to still land upright as any cat would, having simply rotated twice with the added momentum of the enlarged appendage, a new quake ringing out as it met the ground for what would be the last time, since, unbeknownst to her, the rest of her little group had been working together to revert the effects of the magical light beams.

"RUN YOU FOOLS!! GO HIDE BACK IN YOUR LITTLE GNOME HOLES AND PRAY THAT YOU NEVER GET IN MY WAY AGAIN!!!!", the Nekomata kept shouting at them as they left, having waaaaay too much fun with watching they go like the scared puny wooden creatures that they were. Sadly she hadn't had the chance to grab one to herself though, she still wanted to know what they tasted like...

Upon catching sight of the normalized tail, the Siamese was... conflicted. On one paw, normal tail fit her better since it was bound to get difficult to move and drag that thing around, but on the other paw, no more earthquakes and terrifying other living beings, which had been quite entertaining on itself. At the end, she had ended up complaining about it either way:

"Ah, what a shame, I had started getting used to it...", the cat purred to herself as she thought back on the chaos. It had been a while since she had had this much entertainment at once~~

And then she saw it, the trapped gnome. Without really thinking about it, Julie pointed at the squirming humanoid with a paw:

"So, that one is lunch, right?", the commentary had been made nonchalantly, as if the most normal thing to say. Of course, it was not, and a heartbeat later she had taken notice of such, "I'm joking. I have a weird morbid sense of humor..."

Jeeeez, everyone was so strict. These guys were no fun! Oh well, wouldn't want to scare little Mabel anyway, the human-kit had really seemed bothered about her earlier similar commentary.

"But really though, I demand lunch and a spot in the couch when we head back. A cat has her needs~"

With her tail high and still riding the satisfaction of a job well done, the youkai gave out a little dash, finally joining with the rest of the group once more. That's when the other cat that had been stuck with her, the one that was bipedal and more humanoid looking assumed that she'd not help them... Well, he was right, but still! What insolence to just say it like that! Julie has gasped offended:

"Well then, if you're so clever why don't you tell me how I'm supposed to help... With no opposable thumbs, or hands, or shapeshifting abilities and remembering the fact that this", she shook her tail for emphasis, "is NOT a prehensile tail! Huh? What am I supposed to do? Carry the crystal with my mouth?? Only if you were to make me into a giant cat!", the Nekomata had spat angrily, stomping her front paws in the ground, "Why don't you think better next time you decide to accuse others, you middle ground abomination?!"

Too far? Maybe. Was Julie still quite jealous of the fact this other feline had hands still? YES, absolutely yes. It was still really unfair!

Pissed off and looking forward to a tranquil nap, the Siamese had decided to stroll in front of the group, though hearing the gnome's screams as the group mistreated it had put a grin on her face for a while. Oh great, a new toy to torment~ The cat-youkai giggled to herself on the prospect of having a pet-gnome around... Maybe she could enslave it on the promise that it would not get eaten, or maybe she could just torment it while no one was looking and watch with delight as it trembled in fear. Ahhh~ So many possibilities each more fun than the last.

By using the sun and the approximate time of day as a reference, Julie had made it to the shack before the rest of her group, being stationed by the porch when they had finally got there.

"What took you people so long?", she let out as if complaining, knowing very well that they couldn't have been any faster while carrying the huge crystal. Sometimes being a cat was the greatest thing in the world.

As both groups joined and started exchanging reports, the cat-youkai got bored laying down for that nap right where she stood. Honestly, who cared about the success and status of the missions or whatever, she had just joined the most fun-looking group and had already had her thrill so, it was time for a rest. The Nekomata yawned, curling herself up to drift off to finally sleep...

"Uhhh… Mabel... You’re missing someone from your group. The big armor guy."​

"Oh?"

Forget that nap, this was proving to be interesting too... Apparently one of them had gone missing... Ohhhh, had a forest creature got them on their way back? But she'd had heard something lurking around, wouldn't her? Cat hearing and all... Oh well, she was interested so as everyone had gone back, Julie had followed as well, though she would be very angry at the missing person if they had just gotten lost or something like that. Not worth losing a nap if it was the case!

It wasn't... Though this didn't seem like the work of a wood dweller either.

Hey, hey, is this for real? The very familiar scent of blood bathed her nostrils, there was no forging a smell like that... It was a rather fresh smelling wound too. Had one of the others done this? Huhuhu~ And she hadn't really taken any of them for a killer now, what an intriguing development truly~

Their new aggregate seemed to get the same conclusions as she, though how he had done so without the top tier olfactory sense a feline had wasn't entirely clear. He hadn't even inspected the corpse at all! Experience perhaps? Was the annoying preppy boy already used to this kind of situations? Huh, so many questions unanswered. The blonde human spelt trouble, maybe even a bad omen. The death had happened just after he had arrived, hadn't it? BAD.OMEN. The male human was a disaster bringer, he was here to make them doubt and accuse each other. He was here to bring more chaos...

And Julie would be pleased to get a front seat to the whole thing... Who knows? Maybe she could throw more wood inside this bonfire. Maybe something more explosive... Oh, the possibilities grew before her once more. The thrill, the drama!

The Nekomata lived for this~!

Now, what to do? Surely most would start to inspect the corpse, near the guy would start to get awfully crowded... Others would start throwing blame around, too heavy with grief, too emotional to make rational, logical decisions... Humans were very emotional creatures, very prone to self-destruction as well... She could go behind the two kits from the same litter, fill their confused, frail heads with friendly lies, turn them against this asshole of a newcomer... Huh, too easy. Who else would she like to get rid of? Who else would fit to pin this murder on?

Before she could truly decide, Julie looked up, a new idea running through her mind... Trees! An advantaged point of view, something only a cat like her could do!

Taking distance, the Siamese ran towards the tree the body had been placed against, performing a beautiful jump over the deceased and unsheathing her claws to stick to the bark of the tree. From there, she climbed, up and up all the way to the first branch really up high that seemed stable enough to hold her weight. Keeping her balance, the Nekomata walked on the branch, sitting by the edge, now able to see the whole of the crime scene and the path they had taken from a new perspective from up above.

From the top of the branch, Julie observed, looking for anything seemingly weird or out of place. Footsteps? Other types of marks? Anything she could consider important information to take notice of. At the same time, she listened to the ruckus below her as, as expected, the humans and humanoid creatures alike had begun throwing blame, suspecting one another, accusing one another, some even prone to fight. Oh, how foolish, how entertaining.

Dance puppets! Dance! Unaware that you're playing someone else's game, you keep squirming like worms until a merciless god decides to cut your strings!

D'awww, weren't they adorable when they were distressed like this~?

"Wait, what?! You think it's me?"
-Valentine

The nurse proceeded to remove his lower armor as she heard some man mentioning her. "What the hell?! Oh, so now I'm the killer in your eyes." She proceeds to stand and try to defend herself, "Oh, the nurse is soooo suspicious, says the man with a face mask, a black cap, and some sunglasses, who coincidentally wears gloves. Is that what you wear to hide your tracks?" She eyes the man who hurt Mabel's feelings. "Also, just because you were stating a fact, doesn't mean you have the right to suddenly say to a child to be calm." She puts a hand to her hip as she still eyes the man. "I mean, I knew men were dumb, but not this insensitive to feelings." The nurse returns to her nurse duties as she continues examining the body.

She proceeds to remove the pants of the dead man while she continues examining the neck wound. It seemed to be on the side rather than the middle, with some blood. It was too small to be the cause of death. She eyes the girl and the man who saw it first and says, "He didn't die due to the stab wound, the wound should have been larger. And not much blood has also been spilled. It could be some kind of knife but, I don't know any knife that would cut a wound that small." She proceeds to examine the wound as she shines a small light on it. She would need more time to examine the body to see how deep the wound is.

As the manotaurs walk off, you sigh in relief... you didn’t want to have to end up... KILLING anyone!!

As the group makes its path back down, you had decided to just leave the spear there, snapped in half. You didn’t necessarily care for it anymore... you suppose you were foolish, at least for human standards... but you had just lived a few moments of almost every blue bloods dream!! You look over at the... ‘teal human’. He seemed rather rude... he reminded you of a very popular teal blood on your planet.

Once you arrive, the two groups had met up, and... well you were back to being quiet... and you looked around for Isabelle. Eh.. you couldn’t see her in the crowds, so you’ll wait on it.

Before you know it, everyone is... crowded around... something??? You easily look over the crowd... to see byakuya and the two siblings investigating a dead body... a body of one of your allies...

As the girl, Mabel, runs away, you easily push through the crowd..

“.... lemme get a look at him... I see dozens of dead bodies every day on my own planet... mostly lowbloods but... you know...”

You get on one knee and just stare, gently picking up his wrist with two giant fingers... examining him the best way you could without disturbing the state of the body..

“Well uh... this goes without saying for you HUMANS but... he’s obviously a rust blood... but what human isn’t... huh... the cut looks... shallow.. gee sure doesn’t take much to kill a human???.... welp that’s all I could glean!! Uhh... you should probably check now... b... byakuya was it?? You’re probably the closest to being a legislacerator anyways...”

You step away and look down, waiting.

  Darkness was initially shocked, much like the rest of the group. For someone to die was sad enough, to understand that they were intentionally murdered by someone among them was heartbreaking. She lowered her gaze and went into a kneel, clasping her hands together in a position of prayer. "Although I hardly knew you brave adventurer, you probably were an amazing warrior... I pray to the goddess of luck; Eris, that you may find a hopeful and happy future in the afterlife..." She mutters whilst she prays for him, only loud enough so that those standing next to her would hear her prayers.
  
  The crusader rises and steps forward to make herself known. "I myself have no clue who carried out this carried out this murder. But I will spare us the time of needing not to accuse the new person. The murderer has carried out their attack in secret and everyone here is accounted for meaning that they are hiding among us. It would make little sense for this man to reveal himself when the traitor is already attacking from the shadows." She explains.
  
  With the attention of anyone who would listen to her, she begins to address both Shadman and Achilles. "It would be better if we stuck to the facts rather than making baseless accusations. The woman clearly works in the field of medicine, so her knowledge and trust is one of the last things we want to rule off at the moment." The blonde firmly tells the two, shooting Valentine a nod of respect after she was finished.
  
  She didn't have any or really much clue at all about how to actually solve the mystery, but she knew about the law and had a strong sense of justice about herself. She hoped that she would prevent the group from falling out of line and keep things just.

Sergeant Johnson
​

Johnson was quiet on the way back, though, it was mostly because he was working on reducing his cigar to cinders. By the time they got back to camp, it was. The groups managed to get back together, and for a split second, Johnson thought they'd get through this. Then Doomguy went missing. Then they found him dead.

"Our group, the one that went to the cave, I think we're clear. We didn't have much time for that."

He said, holding his rifle a little tighter. Johnson was faintly reminded of the Insurrection, and pushed it to the back of his mind. He didn't need a reminder about terrorists.

"Which means...Mabel's group probably has a back-stabbing bastard hiding among them."

Johnson said, sighing. He wasn't much of an investigator. Usually, the spooks at ONI could sniff something like this out from a mile away, and Johnson had a feeling that was something that would come in handy right about now.

"We should start with them, then us. Just to make sure. We check everyone's alibi."

Johnson said

"Though...first, we should bury him. It ain't right to leave the dead out like this."

He said, crouching down to examine the Doom Marine. Maybe in another life, he would've been a hard bastard like the rest of the ORION volunteers. All Johnson knew was that he was a kickass Marine who didn't deserve to go out how he did.

"As soon as we get everything we need from him, clues and all."

Shadman, the Controversy Artist

The Controversy Artist was about to apologize but then Valentine decided to throw a sexist remark there which just baffled Shadman to the point of shock, he paused for a while, raising his finger before lowering it again after a second or two, he doesn't know how to respond to that shit but chuckle a little, that just came out of nowhere and he didn't think she'd say that anytime soon because he barely knows anything about her and he definitely didn't expect that to come out of her mouth but whatever, it happened and he might not wanna stay close to this nurse woman because Shad destroyed all hope of being friends with her when he told the group that he suspected her to be a traitor and she's probably going to hurt him with the intention to kill if he continues blaming her for the Doomguy's death. He might wanna start over because he clearly started off on the wrong foot with her.

"Fucking hell, no need to have an episode." Shad said. "It was a joke and i'm sorry about it, okay?" He sighed quietly, putting his hands on his pockets, hoping that The Nurse and Blonde Crusader heard what he had to say because nobody can take a joke these days without someone getting heavily offended but then again, Shadman was accusing The Nurse of murder so he thinks that it's understandable that she was offended. Maybe he should tone down the jokes and focus on being serious because somebody killed the Doomguy and is most likely planning to kill everyone in the group too. He sighed, hating the fact that he has to help the others in their investigation but oh well, he's got nothing better to do but he'll mostly keep it low-profile to make sure that none of The Traitors decide to kill him because he still has so much to do in his life, he can't die now.​

“Mmm... he’s right...”

You look over at Johnson. Sure the dude stole your mojo a bit back with the manotaurs, but he was... well... pretty bold and all!! He had guts. You... admired that. It’s something you lacked.

“W.. well uh... hmmm... who should we.. question first then...?”

You stand there, mumbley and quiet as you normally were.. but you assumed maybe Johnson would know who to question first!! Or maybe Byakuya!!
