Items
Attorney's Badge: Proof of Reiker's status as an attorney. It's slightly dented, and there's some subtle scratches in the gold tone layer, but it's been polished to near-perfection.
Reiker: Aw, it must've gotten scratched when I dropped it...
Client File: A collection of text and photo documents detailing information about the client, Tony Danforth.
Contents:
- Name: Tony Danforth
- Species: Mobian Hawk
- Age: 24
Hair/Coat: Brown- Complexion: Yellow
- Eyes: Dark Blue
- Job Status: Unemployed
- Marital Status: Single
- Previous Charges: Vandalism, Disturbing the Peace
- Threat Level: 2 (Minor Nuisance)
- Other: Extreme Gear Hobbyist, Graffiti Artist. Purchase history suggests interests in plant keeping, baking, and club activity.
Pookie: A Bytenik - a small, roach-like Badnik - owned by Vivienne Pikmei. It appears very... Fashionable.
Reiker: It's just standing there... Menacingly...
Yanshu: ... Menacingly?
Scorch Marks: A set of burn marks from Tony's Extreme Gear, seemingly made while braking to avoid running over Pookie. The direction of the gradient suggests he was exiting the tunnel.
Tony's Extreme Gear: Tony's signature board - an older model that looks like it's seen better days. The exhaust has been modified to create a loud fart sound when it reaches a high enough speed.
Autopsy Report (Radika): An autopsy report containing details about Radika Bodacious' death.
Contents:
- Victim - Radika Bodacious (Age 21)
- Time of Death - Thursday September 3rd, 20XX, around 1pm
- Cause of Death - Excessive blood loss following a gunshot wound through the chest, fired point blank.
- Remarks - Chemical traces of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide indicate the presence of a strong, unpleasant odor, unusual for this stage of decomposition. A lack of blood stains in the immediate area suggests she bled out elsewhere before being moved.
- Addendum - Burn marks (likely caused by incendiary gasses escaping the gun's barrel) are present around the bullet wound, implying a shot at point-blank range.
Radika's Jacket: A black jacket with white patches spelling "BODACIOUS 00" on the back, heavily wrinkled and in the early stages of drying out. There are blood stains on the chest and back, and some of the white parts are stained a strange purple hue, though the mystery liquid seems to have mostly evaporated.
Reiker: It still smells... Really bad.
Radika's Cell Phone: A standard mobile phone with a protective case found within Radika's coat pocket. Though resistant to blunt force, it's still vulnerable to water damage, refusing to turn on.
Yanshu: Aww, it matches her... Her!
Reiker: That's... Kinda weird.
Missing Gun: A blue starter pistol owned by Winfred Alcost. It's missing from its usual position, having been recently stolen from its display case.
Crime Scene Photo: A photograph of the crime scene inside the tunnel at Collision Chaos Skate Park. Notable details include the victim's chalk outline and discarded sweater.
