There's blood in the third floor corridor. It's also on the lift. Lots of it. Not human, or any of the species I know well. It's been cleaned up, but not well enough to hide from my nose.

Is anyone missing?

I'm not missing. [Since he's assuming Spike is asking about nonhumans.] That's peculiar.

[bigbad]

What, the blood? I'm guessing it's another case of murder. Though you'd think someone would have mentioned finding a body or the body'd start death tolling and point fingers at his or her killer.

[championoftime]

Precisely why it's peculiar. Though I don't know of many non-humans on the barge that are particularly weak against an opponent. Even I'm stronger than a typical human and physically I'm the weakest regeneration I've had yet. Perhaps someone's embarrassed. Or otherwise incapacitated.

[bigbad]

Might not have been a human attacker, too. I can't tell that as easily.

My inmate and I both accounted for.

It might not be a bad idea for us all to do a formal call-in, such as the one's we've done for some floods, just in case.

SNEAKY... also text.

Oh, please let that not be my job. I hate those things.

[alzarian-youth.livejournal.com]

I'm fine.

...I just thought I'd mention that after the Doctor mentioned non-humans weak against opponents, in case someone started thinking I'd gotten into trouble. Again.

[bigbad]

Great. Can't say I was really worried, what with having know idea who you are, but good.

[alzarian-youth.livejournal.com]

I didn't think you would worry, I just wanted it to show up somewhere public in case the Doctors started to.

[bigbad]

Oh. Well, thoughtful of you.

Can you tell how long it's been there? Just to give a timeframe on what might have happened.

Are there some places more bloody than others, for that matter?

I can't see it, just smell it. Someone cleaned up. But yeah, the smells stronger in places than in other places, I guess.

Pretty sure it wasn't very long, seeing as I'd have smelled it last time I was in the lift if it were there then. If it were human, I'd know more.

Re: warden filter

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

I did mean if the smell was stronger in some places than others. Where is it strongest? That was probably where... whatever it is, I'm going to presume murder for now... happened.

If there was a body hidden somewhere, would you be able to tell that?

Re: warden filter

[bigbad]

I'd be able to sniff out a body, yeah. And it's... a bit hard to tell exactly. It's not really an exact science, you know. Though it's definitely stronger in the corridor than the lift.

Re: warden filter

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

Okay. I just wondered how much you could tell.

So there's no... immediately evident body?

Re: warden filter

[bigbad]

No, no body.
