Welcome to Gaia! ::

Niccea flashed her fangs at Crow. Niccea picked up on Vulcan's vibe, she couldn't read minds but she could just tell by his expression. "What is so strange about a mind reader? I mean you know thoughts that are directed at you don't you?" Ana tried to use the lull in conversation to figure out what Izuma had been reading the whole time. "What happened to Zulu?" She gave Niccea an exchanged look of worry.

Ana stood up straight and looked like a school student going into reciting mode. "Male around 20. Brutally murdered with a knife. Identity unknown because face was destroyed beyond recognition. Yesterday. Middle of the street. No witnesses" Niccea stepped forward with a drawn dagger. "The knife was in similar make to this one. Vulcan has the actual weapon"

Vulcan smirked slightly at Ana's recital of the murder. He then nodded to Crow and produced the knife from the folds of his robe and placed it into Crow's hands.

Crow chuckled. "Yes, the essence of the murder." He smiled a small smile, then concentrated. He made small slashes through the air, the blade whipping around in the general area of someone's face. The blurry lines began to form, fading in and out, showing a man with dark hair, brown eyes, and a bit of stubble growing off of his chin. The picture then faded, and the blade stopped. Crow blinked. "Not exactly what I wanted but, I'm sure it helped." He handed the blade back. "I was testing the blade's weight. Your blade seemed too heavy in have completely severed off a man's face. Whoever commited this murder had to be fast, faster than I am certainly, and efficient." He pulled out a small sketchpad. "Well, now we have a face to put with our crime." He said, scribbling the picture from memory. "Does anyone recognize him?" asked Crow, passing the picture around.

Crow nodded, thinking. "Well, we know who was murdered, but no idead why. If we knew who he was, his affiliations, his contacts, etc. We might know if this was a murder with a purpose." He stoped and thought, flipping the page. "Draw what the lines looked like on his face."

Crow looked at it. "It seems to be some sort of symbol." He turned the paper to the side. Then he laughed ironically. "It's a down with the unity mark. It has mixed all of the symbols for each kingdom into one, with a large slash through it." He traced each symbol, showing how the man's face had served as a guideline. He stared some more. "I just can't figure out the bite marks. They wouldn't pierce the skin if they were humanoid. It's as if the man grabbed whoever this was and they tred to free themselves."

Izuma could only marvel at Crow's work, thoroughly impressed at his expertise. He gazed at the mark Crow had unveiled, slight worry crossing his brow. He repeated the word "Humanoid" as it was passed around, giving the situation some deep thought. "And Zulu is wished for his swift return..." he whispered, his eyes going out of focus as he contemplated this as well.

((what Mexico? jk))

Niccea and Ana listened intently to Izuma and Crows conversation intently. Niccea played mumbletypeg with her dagger. Ana cocked her head but refrained from asking questions...for now.
