3rd Mirage | Accidental Video

[phantasmicblade]

[The video cuts in on Miria entering the church once again, having done some patrolling outside earlier. Her expression is fairly blank, but those that know her can see a twinge of irritation in her expression. All this time, and there was still nothing to be found about these murders. It's not until she steps further inside that she nearly drops her blade, but that is a definite tightening of her grip on the sword.

It's not a pretty sight.

One Pokeball lays clattered on the ground, the other five on his belt, as Rion stares up from the ground, lifelessly. It's obvious what killed him - there's a huge gaping hole where his left eye would be, like something massive just punctured right through it and through most of his head. Drying blood is still dribbling out the hole down his face.

The other eye stares up blankly towards the sky, as if searching for help that had never come. And like the others, his chest has been torn open for all to see, organs still intact except for his heart, which is nowhere to be found. Miria quickly sheathes her blade, inspecting the body, her expression unreadable. How someone could get inside and pull something off like this she didn't know, but -]

Damn it...

Where are you? The church?

[phantasmicblade.livejournal.com]

Not very long, some of the blood is still flowing.

[dragon-savior.livejournal.com]

Then the murderer may still be close by!

[phantasmicblade.livejournal.com]

Yes. The boy had been staying with me and one of my comrades for the time being - he supposedly felt safer here.

[hiddenpower.livejournal.com]

Do we know anything about them?? I can fly around, look for someone who fits the killer's description if anyone knows what they look like!

[ Gohan may or may not be getting a bit worked up. ]

[phantasmicblade.livejournal.com]

One of the others is already taking the lookout from the rooftops to see if they can spot anyone. I will stay with the body in case my comrade decides to come back sometime soon.

[tom-hanniger.livejournal.com]

Shit..

Not safe enough, I guess.

[phantasmicblade.livejournal.com]

Nothing. None of whatever has been shown of the murders shows any trace of who the culprit is, I'm afraid.

[dragon-savior.livejournal.com]

Then I know where I'll look from... Take care of him, alright?

[chisonooggi.livejournal.com]

Why haven't we caught this person yet!? Soon everyone is going to be dead and we still won't find him!

[phantasmicblade.livejournal.com]

[She doesn't say anything, just gives a nod and a small noise of acknowledgment before she tries investigating further]

[phantasmicblade.livejournal.com]

Apparently not. Whoever did this knew about when we were going to be absent and planned accordingly.

[phantasmicblade.livejournal.com]

I shall do my best.

[tom-hanniger.livejournal.com]

Who else lives there with you?

[hiddenpower.livejournal.com]

[ Aaaaand this is the part where his aura burst around him and he takes off from the ground. ]

I'm gonna look around anyway, see if I can find anything. You're... you're in the church right now, right? That's the building it happened in?

[phantasmicblade.livejournal.com]

I assure you of this much, it won't come to that.

[phantasmicblade.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'm still in the church. I'm not about to run off blindly right now, not with the murderer possibly being nearby.

[phantasmicblade.livejournal.com]

Galatea, one of my comrades. There's also a strange silver-haired man that supposedly lives here as well, although I have not crossed paths with him yet.

[hiddenpower.livejournal.com]

Alright, I'll be there in a minute. [ LIKE, LITERALLY A MINUTE. ]

[tom-hanniger.livejournal.com]

Like that isn't suspicious as hell.

[phantasmicblade.livejournal.com]

According to Galatea, he's not a threat. And I trust her judgment.

[And Miria's inside the church, still investigating to see if she can pick anything up, but coming up dry. Galatea was nowhere to be seen, and Tabitha wasn't here, either]

[raptureblues.livejournal.com]

In a church! Mercy!

Only a true monster would dare slaughter a child inside a house of prayers!

...Poor boy. Poor, poor thing...

[tom-hanniger.livejournal.com]

Good to know someone can still trust these days.

[ It doesn't take long for Gohan to make his way to the church, considering he's got a good bird's-eye view of World's End atm. SO HAVE A SHORT SPIKY-HAIRED KID TOUCH DOWN ON THE ENTRANCE TO THE CHURCH. ]

... This shouldn't have happened...
