Welcome to Gaia! ::

"A sound idea," Izuma said, nodding. "I won't force either of you into this, Ju, Crow...but I urge you to consider. I do not wish for any more violence within the nation. If you are ready and willing, then, please, investigate this further."

Niccea shook her head. "I still say that information of this shouldn't leave this room. Don't want rumors. unneeded chaos is very unneeded."

"My point exactly. Leaking out that this was organized and not a random act would startle people and make it even easier for the killer." She looked at Vulcan and away. "Lord Vulcan thought that it the murder could have been tribal, but I see a few problems with this. Crow is in favor of 'down with unity' people with the killer being male. And you, Ms. Ju, are in favor of this being done a non professional female killer. I think that this is organized, because the knives were stolen in advance. If you ask me, there are too many theories and not enough answers..." Ana boldly raised up her hand to silence her sister. "Izuma, can any of your discoveries from you travels aid in any of this?"

((I'm guessing the main reason for our characters not getting along is because they are both a bit cold and untrusting, neh?))

Ana shrugged her shoulders. She sat down and began to think about how she could be of any assistance. "Is there any place where people who would know such things hang around. A bar of ill repute perhaps? Also another reason that it is recommended to keep things underwraps under while because it is easier to track rumors that way. IF someone knows something they shouldn't that is." SHe started talking mainly to break the tension.

Crow had been lost in thought for most of the conversation. "Tavern of ill repute..." He mumbled to himself. He looked up at Izuma. "Of course I'd be willing to do it I'm just..thinking." He sat down and satred at the man's body. "Left handed woman..." he got up and walked to the other side. "Tribal bites. He walked back and looked at the body from the feet. "Organized attack." Crow stopped. "This isn't a crime commited by one person." He looked around to make sure that at least someone heard him. "The left handed woman made these marks, here, here, and here." He traced several thin wounds that had obviously been postmortem. "The man added his semblance to the face." He pointed to his marking. "Done with a tick iron blade, probably that of the dagger. By the way," He tossed a small metal object and it landed at Niccea's feet. It was a shining silver dagger, sharperned down to a point that seemed to have to width. "If that's not yours then I believe I found weapon number two." Crow returned to the body. Now examining the marks. "These two people wanted to cover up their tracks, but still wanted to be recognized. So what do they do? They turn it over to the people that are most likely to be blamed if there are bite marks on the body. The cannibals." He shook himself. "How can you eat a body? That's almost worse than what I have to do to survive." Crow shook himself again. "The daggers were stolen before this, and I have a pretty good idea who took them. He tapped the dead man on the shoulder three times. "I recognixe him now. He belongs to a local group of theives; low class, nothing big in the way of making trouble. Chances are they made a deal. The deal goes down, the killers get what they want, and kill the messenger so to speak." He smiled ironically. "The whole tatic in itself seems unreliable until we can find a left handed woman with mousy brown hair, and a tall man with thick curly red hair." He smiled at the upcoming questions floating through people's minds, and answered them by holding up several hairs. he turned to Niccea. "Is there anything special you did to those knifes?"

((I just realized something...at the ballroom scene I said that 12 knives were stolen...now it is up to 20...oh well..))
