[Tonight, even in the night, something is noticeably off about the fountain. Specifically, the water seems darker, and there seems to be something laying face down in the water. Upon further inspection, you'll notice that that something is actually the pale, and lifeless body of a blond girl. There seems to be bullet holes all over her, as well as marks from a sword, leaving one specifically bad gash on her left shoulder. Not only have her wings been clearly ripped out, but blond hair that had once been long and flowing has been sloppily cut short. Her clothes are soaked with blood, and the water is dyed red. There is no sign of movement or life in any way.]

Date: 2010-03-24 04:57 am (UTC)His eyes flicker darkly, hands clenched in tight fists as rage crashes over him like a tidal wave. The feelings of when he first saw Jenny get killed come rushing back as well as images from losing his family and friends in the Last Great Time War. He's still a moment, merely staring intently at her lifeless form. Once the shock has ebbed away a little, he rushes over and gets down on the ground to investigate.]
...Jenny? Jenny!
What's going on? What happened? [He's looking up at Jr. and wants so badly to say "What did you do?", but he already knows it's not his fault. Someone else did this. And whoever it was is going to be in for the oncoming storm.]
(Threadhopping from another housemate?)
Date: 2010-03-24 05:03 am (UTC)Jenny! What... [He looks up at Jr., moving to the Doctor's side in silent support. He hasn't had much chance to interact with Jenny's boyfriend, despite living in the same house, and this is definitely not the way he'd want to go about it.]
[[OOC: Housemate party in the thread, woo! Feel free to skip me if needed.]]

Date: 2010-03-24 06:22 pm (UTC)This night though, it's pretty evident no one's minding the house because she sees them clustered by the fountain and has to come take a look. When she sees Jenny, her mouth tightens and her face goes completely blank.
She reaches down gently to test for a pulse, just to make sure. Then she notes the hair, and plays her fingers quietly along the hacked-off ends.]
I'm sorry.
(ooc: show me for not refreshing the page ;p)

Date: 2010-03-25 04:57 am (UTC)Alright, there's a chance that this isn't the end of it. It's happened before where she was gone and then got better. I don't know for how long she was out then, but I do know we're able to slip into a corpse-like comatose state when severely injured to devote energy to the healing process. I think it would be best if she's brought home and put somewhere where she can lie still. Give her a couple days, if nothing, well... [He really does not want to think about that.]
We need to figure out who or what might have done this. Jr., Cameron, do either of you know of anyone who might have had a grudge or something against Jenny? Any reason at all she might have been attacked like this? I'd have considered an animal if not for the bullets. Whoever did this is sentient and most likely humanoid. And whoever they are, somehow they're very much armed.
{ooc: I guess we can BS some sort of posting order? XD}

Date: 2010-03-25 05:19 am (UTC)If she doesn't regenerate... what then?
[He steps forward, close to the edge of the fountain, touching Jenny's cold shoulder sadly.]
I can help carry her home. Unless... [He looks to Jr., not wanting to step on anyone's toes.]
[[OOC: As I said, feel free to skip me in the order if I'm not around. I'm working a loooong day tomorrow and may only have time to throw out a few tags during breaks.

Date: 2010-03-25 02:02 pm (UTC)*At Jack's offer he forces his hands to open and takes his longcoat off, laying it on the ground and walking over to lift her out of the water, with surprising ease for someone his size.* But like hell I'm just gonna leave her here.
(I say the order that's sort of established itself.)
no subject
Date: 2010-03-25 06:32 pm (UTC)A lot of people in Luceti have guns. They might still be around. We should move her soon.
[she glances back down at Jenny's hair] They wanted to have fun, not just kill her.
no subject
Date: 2010-03-26 09:09 pm (UTC)Jack, I'd like you to take her body back to the house. Lay her somewhere she can be completely flat and still. Let me know when you're done with that and we can plan a rendezvous. Cameron, if you can, go with him and keep an eye on her. You've been here a while so I'd reckon you'd know how to handle the Malnosso with this sort of situation.
Jr. [The Doctor turns to face him.] I'd like you to come with me. We're going to look around and figure out who did this, and if she's not the only one. If there's someone out on a murdering spree, they need to be stopped and fast. Do you have anything for self defense?
no subject
Date: 2010-03-26 09:47 pm (UTC)[He picks Jenny's body up gently, keeping Jr.'s coat wrapped around her, then gives Jr. a nod.] I've got her.
Doctor, if there's someone on a murdering spree, you know I'll be the best one to be out here. I'll come back and meet you as soon as I can.

Date: 2010-03-28 06:13 am (UTC)I've never seen someone come back in Luceti. I don't know how it works. But I'll keep a lookout. It's our house. And she's my friend.
[since Jack's got his hands occupied, she clicks the safety off another handgun for good measure] You will call if you need help, won't you?
no subject
Date: 2010-03-29 02:38 am (UTC)It would probably be best to start around the houses and go from there. [He says this more so to Jr.] See if anything else strange is going on. Perhaps someone else might be in a bit of a predicament as well. So long as we find some sort of clue.
If anything comes up- [Back to Jack and Cameron.] Send word out. I'll be back as quickly as possible.
Any questions or ideas before we split up?
no subject
Date: 2010-03-29 04:26 am (UTC)[He nods to Cameron, noting her weapons.] Someone who knows how to use them too, good. Ready when you are.
[Action/Voice]
Date: 2010-03-24 02:39 am (UTC)[He runs over to the fountain and simply stares in horror for a moment. Did he know this girl? He didn't care about her, but this does not make him happy either. But he shows no outward reaction. He just stares for a moment.]
[He leans in closer, where he can see the bullet holes and sword marks on her body. Sword and bullets...the combination was familiar, so Jay could hazard a guess as to who did this. But for now, it was merely a guess. Whatever is going on, he doesn't want to get too involved. He'll let the "heroes" handle it and observe from the distance. But at the very least, he should warn people. He sure doesn't want this chaos to continue.]
[Jay closes his eyes for a moment, sensing his surroundings in case someone happened to be nearby, either the culprits or any other investigators. He then pulls out his journal.]
We have a serious problem at the plaza.
[Action]
Date: 2010-03-24 03:41 am (UTC)Not that this looks like much more than a teenage looking around to the other people here like say Jay.
ALSO Jenny's player if you could throw me a bone with a small collection of Jenny's thought prior to death which would stand out enough to last "in the air" would be awesome if she would have any]ooc

Date: 2010-03-24 10:29 am (UTC)maybesee--...holy shit a dead body WHAT. But in all seriousness, Reimu is not pleased. She frowns at the sight of it.]
Not something I'd expect to see while staying here.
