OPEN STARTER - @hiddenstarters ( body found was wei wuxian )
it was the smell that broke through the haze first. the strong metallic scent in the air was familiar, but not what she expected to find at her desk in the fbi office. slowly her other senses came to until she could tell that she wasn't at her desk anymore. she was outside. if she had to guess from looking she seemed to be downtown in small alleyway between the shops. her green eyes moved down to survey the area for the source of the smell when her eyes landed on the dead body. stabbed from what she could tell from the spot where her feet seemed to be melded into. why does this keep happening to her? first it was walking around in the middle of night and waking up in unknown places and now she was finding dead bodies?
deciding in front of said found dead body wasn't exactly the ideal time for an existential crisis, she took a cautious step forward. close enough so she could lean down to check the man's neck for a pulse. it didn't seem likely he could survive with the amount of blood, but that didn't stop the body from somehow finding a way. sadly, this one did not.
she started looking over him over for any other visible clues when she heard the approaching footsteps. lydia stepped back and stood up taller. "stay back," she called out to whoever was approaching. "this is a crime scene." tapping her pockets, she realized that, of course, in her fugue state she wouldn't have the forethought to bring her purse where her phone was. "and call 911."
