[The bodies are naked, so. Nothing to loot. The flesh has turned ashen and cold from the amount of time spent inside the refrigerators. As Higekiri looks at the body, he won't see any sort of injury on A. WWX, however, won't be able to tell if anything is off without fully lifting the plastic, as the sheet is an opaque white.]
April wanted to do the fucking coitus with demons?
[he's just
comparing april to polly.
but higekiri just hums softly at that before turning to both beck and junpei once it seems like they aren't able to find anything.]
Should I check for anything else? She seems to lack obvious injury so perhaps she died from something else.
[he'll volunteer to be the one to handle the body since he a ) has gloves and b ) is less concerned about corpses and whatnot compared to the other two probably]
Or if the other two hosts are present, maybe we can locate their bodies as Wukiri suggested. There are thirty-three containers after all.
[Opens his mouth to correct "the fucking coitus" Closes his mouth and just. Hums.]
It's worth checking for the others, sure. [...] Nathan had immortality as one of his original skills didn't he? And Carlos is a SHIFTer, so that's...that's not coincidence, right? Or maybe it is but that's pretty weird. [He'll let Higekiri handle that body.] I'd say check her mouth for poisoning or something but...the whole "no face" thing makes that hard.
[...he's not exactly excited either, but sure, he'll go to try and open one of the other refrigerators.]
Well, if you can find the other two, we'll have a better idea of how closely they match up. Nathan had immortality, but I don't know that it's conditional and I don't think any of our hosts are shape-shifters, are they...?
[Off the sheet goes! Anything amiss over here...]
Ah— If anyone needs me to examine a body for them, let me know!
[Beck can try to open the refrigerator with illegible writing, but it just won't budge. Assuming Junpei tries one of the refrigerators by A's, it also won't open. That one, too, will have illegible writing.
Like A's corpse, N's appears to be devoid of any injuries. Her flesh has turned ashen and cold from the time spent in the refrigerator. Now that the sheet is off, though, WWX will see that her hair reaches past her waist.]
[higekiri will just tilt his head and try to peer over at the faceless head. it's just completely smooth? there's no features to be found there? but for the time being he will put the papers and clipboard for A off to the side and then just
cover up the corpse once more when he's done looking at it, and then try to put the body away and close the fridge again!!]
Thank you for your patience. Rest well.
[he'll try to check out the other fridges and see if he can find more legible writing once he's done there??]
[Since Higekiri is looking for more marked refrigerators, she's heading back towards the autopsy tables. If she opens one of the stainless steel cabinets that are in that area, what will she find?]
Couldn't Polly be considered a shape-shifter because she's a ghost? [But if Beck goes back to the tables, he'll just help Higekiri open the fridges, but starting more on the opposite end. This is still a weird room and he refuses to be ambushed, thanks.]
...so, and this is just a morbid idea, but what if the room's rigged to where we have to lay on the actual tables? We couldn't do anything in the arcade until we logged in our names to play the games.
Do you think so? Seems dangerous, which means you might be on the right track.
[He'll just. Move some of her hair to make sure there are no visible injuries on her body where it falls, and gently turn her over to check her back, too. Just in case there's some written confession hiding under there. He's using his sleeves to cover his hands because he learned his lesson about touching things directly from strychnine party 2k19, at least.]
[It's not completely smooth, no. The bone structure is as it should be, but... The eyes, the mouth and the nostrils are just not there. The same goes for N's face. Now that WWX is looking at N's back, though, he will see that there are no injuries there either.
Beck can easily open one of the cabinets. Inside, she will find supplies for washing and drying bodies, as well as individually packaged syringes. Hm...
Higekiri and Junpei will see that most of the refrigerators have illegible names. However, there are two that are still somewhat legible. H████ and J████.]
[ . . . well, this sounds fine. fate and irony demand that higekiri stand in front of H, all things considered. he blinks once, twice, and then knocks on the fridge.]
... Pardon the intrusion.
[and then he'll move to open it again, speaking softly and commenting almost more to himself]
If you're who I think you are - I've heard we have a lot in common.
[there's nothing wrong at all with speaking to a corpse who also has brother trauma before you rouse it from its sleep right. though to the others he'll speak a bit louder:]
Perhaps after we gather all the documentation, we can try that.
You could, but just be careful. Also, other fun theory, what if the syringes were used to pump our corpses with this green liquid to stop them from dying and rotting? [Huh. So...Higekiri has H, and Junpei has J and he pauses for the time being.]
...you were the detective before me, I'm guessing. [Great. He's also talking to corpses now, but Junpei also talks to furniture sometimes it's just a thing that happens.] Jason, if I recall. [But he's going to open it carefully, still preparing himself to attack a zombie if he has to.]
Well, I mean - cool air alone wouldn't keep a corpse this neatly preserved, yes?
[He'll just gently place the sheet back over "N", in any case, and shut the fridge door. Bye Rapunzel squad member he never knew...
He then moseys so he's about halfway between where Junpei and Higekiri are, and halfway between where Beck is, just in case he needs to move to either side to help A) fend off zombies or B) pull Beck from a trap. To Beck (but it applies to everyone tbh):]
If anything starts to seem off or strange, say so right away.
[Higekiri pulls open H's refrigerator, revealing yet another humanoid shape covered by a white plastic sheet. Another clipboard sits on top with documents attached to it. Junpei will find an identical scene once he opens up J's refrigerator.
There's nothing to be found in the sinks or in the weighing scales.]
[hige knows nothing about corpses because he really does walk away once people are dead - but he'll listen to them all anyway.]
Excuse me, excuse me... Nothing odd here so far.
[aside from the whole situation being odd? but he'll pick up the documents to read again, and also pull back the sheet to see if this figure has a face!]
Okay. I'm gonna go for it, so... I'll let you know if anything happens.
[Since there's nothing on the scales or in the sinks... She's taking Junpei's suggestion and hopping up onto one of the autopsy tables, bonesaw still in hand. Does anything happen if she carefully lays down?]
[Well. Okay. He's going to grab the documents first to read, scanning them over for review. He's also, once he's done, going to pull the sheet back while still holding onto the items in his hands because none trust.]
Seriously, just be careful. [He's gonna lowkey fret about her a lot because out of all of these people she's the most normal tbh.]
[Yeah she really is which is why Wei Wuxian's attention is definitely shifting more to her than to the other two as she actually hops up onto the table.]
--Careful with that.
[The bonesaw... GOD. Hopefully she doesn't see anything horrific on the ceiling.]
[The documents Higekiri reads contain the following information:]
H█████████████████████ F 22 NOTES: THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT, YOU FUCKER. WHY COULDN'T YOU BE HORNY FOR SOMETHING NORMAL LIKE FEET!!!!
[When he lifts the sheet up, Higekiri will find yet another faceless corpse. It's a woman, with blonde hair that reaches her shoulders. Maybe this is another H...? Regardless, Junpei will find the following information in J's clipboard:]
J███████████████████████ M 19 NOTES: ... It's really a shame we couldn't continue our conversations. Oh, well. Thank you for leaving the medicine behind. I wish whatever was keeping you and the other three alive hadn't worn off, but I suppose this is the world righting itself.
[This corpse will lack a face, as well. It appears to be the body of a male with short, black hair. Hm.
It's funny that you should mention horrific things on the ceiling. While nothing happens once Beck and WWX lay down, they will catch a glimpse of something written on the ceiling.]
DON'T UNCOVER THEIR FACES ↓↓↓↓
[... It's written in blood. The arrows point at the mortuary refrigerators.
Ah.
Not even a moment passes between Junpei and Higekiri lifting the sheets, before the bodies reanimate and contort. The flesh on their faces rips apart, revealing a single eye and sharp, black teeth. They screen uninteligibly as they lunge for both Junpei and Higekiri, black goo oozing out of the newly created orifice. J's body will suddenly reach for Junpei's face, trying to grab him with now suddenly clawed hands. Meanwhile, H's will throw herself at Higekiri, intent on knocking him down so she can sink her teeth into his flesh.
N and A's refrigerators start to rattle, as well. Loud banging noises come from within, accompanied by unholy screeching. Something clearly wants to be let out.]
[well so much for not being surprised by anything anymore in this place.
there isn't a great amount of time for him to react - but there's a noise of mild irritation as his hand falls to the hilt of his blade, though he isn't able to slash before H's body slams into his own. he's knocked to the floor by the brute strength of it, but he doesn't scream when her teeth find purchase against his skin. there's only an irritated growl worthy of a far larger lion in warning.
the arm shoves against her collarbone, trying to force her off of him, and he twists his wrist to adjust the angle of his blade, intending to slide the metal of it right between her ribs to pierce where her heart would be.]
Why couldn't you keep sleeping like the others...!!
[She pushes herself off the table immediately once she sees those words and realizes what's happening. Out of the two of them, she thinks Higekiri is probably more capable of protecting himself, which means that she's bolting towards Junpei. As she approaches quickly, she's attempting to slam the sharp edge of the bone saw into the creature's head.]
[There really isn't enough time to react because he suddenly yells and leans back as far as he can from the zombie's claws, immediately unlocking the safety of the gun and firing straight into the eye, or hopefully. Please enjoy the loud, exaggerated moan that comes from said-gun.]
Take it! [He had one in his hand and he passes it to her. He has a free hand now and, stupidly, slips his left hand into his pocket to slip a rainbow-colored brass knuckle on before hauling back to punch the body back as hard as he can in the chest.] What the fuck, what the fuck, what the fuck!
[AAAAAW YEAAAAAH ZOMBIES!!!!! Why does every break-in he goes on involve zombies wow, he really is the pied piper of zombies.
Anyway he's also leaping into action quickly! Just running right past one of those rattling freezers fuck you zombie stay inside. WHO LOOKS LIKE THEY NEED MORE HELP Junpei has Beck helping him but they're both normies?? If Higekiri is still on the ground he'll head that way, but if a bonesaw and ahegun don't take down the other corpse, he'll zoom that way instead.]
—Keep the heart in one piece if you can, just in case!
[They're looking for a demon heart aren't they?? These are zombies but also like, who knows, maybe it counts as a demon heart.]
