#27 Bizzie the Cutiefly has been murdered by the Stalkers.

Location: Valley Wellness Centre border
Cause of Death: All fluid drained, then wrapped tightly in gauze.

It wasn't until Balene the Cottonee got worried when her mate did not return home that she departed their safe, secure house and floated off in search of Bizzie.

The night air was cold, and her leaf tips were chilled as she hovered through the gloom, calling out for her beloved. With each passing hour she got more worried until she was convinced that something had gone wrong, and her shouts turned into loud sobs begging for some sign that her mate was alive.

Her long search led her back in the direction of her house, and on the way through, she hovered around the Valley Wellness Centre. She almost missed the form of a wrapped up, blood-spotted object lying in the grass, and fear seeped into her mind when she realised that it was roughly the same size as Bizzie. Frantically she dove down into the grass and tore at the bandages, only for them to fall away and reveal what she was dreading most: the drained, cracked, almost dry-earth-like visage of her mate, Bizzie the cutiefly.

Due to the lack of an authority presence in town, the pokémon who Balene could reach first, or those who happened to hear Balene's mournful screams, helped to try to calm her while the Emissaries were notified by Shilamora of what happened. She asked for their assistance in examining both the scene and the body, in an effort to deduce what happened and which Stalker was responsible. The letter mentions that after the investigation is complete, she will send in those from certain guilds to clean up the mess before the morning.

Murder scene investigation has become available!

Stalker Victims and Investigation:
Every time a Stalker's victim is killed, a searchable location becomes available specific to the scene where the victim was found. All scenes will be recorded in the third post of this thread. It is a free action for two players to investigate the crime scene each time it happens. As there is no law enforcement in Salvage Keep, it is up to you to search the crime scene if you wish to learn what has happened, or find any potential clues. Sometimes it will yield nothing, and sometimes it will yield important information. Again, this is a free action, so you do not lose any part of your turn if you volunteer to investigate. One player goes to search the scene, and one must possess the Technical Perk, and they will examine the body. If you wish to be one of these two players, simply include it within your following day's action.

This post will be followed up by the start of a new day just to keep the game moving, but these free actions will, narratively, have happened retrospectively before the sun rises.
