I would like to investigate the body.

A gruesome scene lay before you. Jean Grey’s corpse and blood pooling around the floor. Someone had the decency to close her eyes, perhaps a small clue to the type of person to kill her. Where do you want to begin?

A jagged piece is missing from that side of the phone, shouldn’t a telepath be able to prevent a phone from falling? Anyways.

Upon opening you are greeted with a wikihow article titled “How to Deal with a Concussion” and it was even verified by a real professional! Gripping the phone, you recognize a foreign feeling on one of the sides. It could just be nothing…

Scrolling back to 4 months ago, you see Jean sporting a #LOGANG hat and a JPauler hoodie. A selfie with a snapchat filter and the words “Guess who I met! :)” and the Paul brothers posing with her.

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe. Choosing a few of the pictures at random, you can piece together that about 7 months ago Jean and Wolverine were together, and 2 months later Jean and Cyclops got back together.

Scrolling through, you find a lot of pictures of her with Cyclops, at either concerts or on vacation. Also full of aesthetic shots of the things she liked, and as you got deeper there was a break in pictures with Cyclops and instead with Wolverine. Then deeper again it resumed with pictures with Cyclops.

Rather crude and unflattering tweets and DMs flooded the screen. Jean was the hot topic on social media the Logang™ and the Jake Paulers™ were up to harassing her for her recent controversial tweets. Most of them had heinous grammar errors and spelling, but one caught your eye. 

Beyond that, everything else was just your average death threats on Twitter. 

> Open the internet browser > Open up her photo gallery > Other [ Specify ] > End Investigation

Ah, internet drama. The drama of the internet. Why fans are so quick to defend blatantly disrespectful people, the world may never truly understand. Despite the death threats though, actually committing a murder because of an argument over internet celebrities seemed unlikely.

Sweet of Vanessa to consider not doing that! The phone was saved from the blood by being in her pocket (where did she get jeans with pockets deep enough for a phone?), and unlocking the phone gives you access to a plethora of apps. Twitter flooded the notification center, everything else was completely normal.

Smeared, so not like she was pressing against her wounds? Perhaps someone tampered with the crime scene between her time of death and the investigation beginning. >Investigate pockets

I would find it difficult to press against nine different stab wounds, but you make a fair point.

>Investigate pockets

Noting some outlines on the jeans, you can not help but to reach into the the jean pocket. Inside the pocket was her phone with a 50% battery life.

Usually she'd be inclined to tamper as little as possible with evidence and let the professionals handle it, but, well, the professionals don't care about this case and they need all the info they can get. >Unlock the phone

How odd. Wonder if it might be a clue to the murderer.

>Examine her hands

> Examine her hands

The main oddity is that her hands are smeared in blood rather than having drops or dipped in blood. Still no answer to what the weapon was.

They are tiny rocks, just a bit bigger than sand. There is more closer to the back of her head than in the front.

She’s died worse before, probably. The new and trendy haircut that she was sporting was frazzled and frizzy. Everything else in the rooms were in a place, but her hair was splayed out and had pieces of rocks.

Not one (1) stab, not two (2) stabs, but about nine (9) stab wounds. Whoever did commit this act had wraith and vengeance pumping through their veins. All the same shape and width, but no weapon to be found.

Wait, is this not what you chose in the beginning? Examining the body closer, there is a ton of blood on her torso, and smearing on her hands. Cause of death is abundantly clear with the stabbing.

That’s true, but it’s better tae have some on hand than none at all. And if it’s a power that tends tae show up a lot then it could cover multiple people.

[ Chuckle ] I dinny think that it’d be a public database or anythin’. That’d be ridiculous. [He doesn’t know.]

[She doesn’t know either] [Oof] Ah, no, I wasn’t thinking of that. But if someone violently anti-mutant were to see that on someone else’s driving license... I can’t imagine it would end well.

I can see how it would be helpful for the government to know. But I don’t think it’d be fair to mark it on identification and such. People ought to have the right to keep such information secret if they wish, no?

[sithichean]

moniang:

Ah. That does make sense. [Doesn’t change that she’s not keen on anti-mutant folks potentially having access to a database of every mutant in the country, but she’s not gonna say that] [Just gonna… try and get info for now]

How would it work, exactly? Every mutant sends in some sort of form detailing what their power is? That’s a lot of data to handle, and it’d be difficult to tell if people lied about what they’re capable of.

[ Casually shift the weight on his feet. ] … Hm… [ Cross his arms and a puzzled look. ] …

Yeah, I guess. And we have tae process a lot more data than just that on the regular. And if people lied they’d be dealt with by the proper authorities. Like ya aren’t supposed tae lie on lots of other thin’s, people still do it, and then those people are talked with, ya know?

[ Rock on his heels a bit and put his hands on his waist. ] Probably just gets a wee ‘m’ on your driver’s license.

[moniang-blog]

It might be difficult to tell if people did lie, though. And if we only found out after they caused harm, that would be too late. [Maybe if government employees had to verify mutant abilities in person...? But that’s a lot of resources better used elsewhere...]

Hm, somewhat like being an organ donor? I worry about such information being so readily available though, in case of anti-mutant violence.

[moniang-blog]

sithichean:

[ Do not worry, he probably does not even have Secret Clearance. ][ Probably. ]

Yeah, even them. Ya dinnae know when one of ‘em could snap or lose control. Then a city is leveled cos we weren’t prepared tae handle what ever their power was. Besides, it isn’ like anythin’ beyond that is gonna happen, and you gotta register other things, what’s one more checkbox?
