[center]University - The Crime Scene
Detective Michael Nash[/center]

Detective Nash entered the alley where the body was found. Hovering over the victim outline was an elderly man sipping coffee, cloth from chest to toe in standard white forensic jump suits. His hair was gray but Nash remembers how it used to be pitched black. The man was Anthony Smith. They started about the same time in the force and, unlike Nash, accepted the promotion as Chief Forensic Officer. His higher pay grade didn’t drive a wedge between them.

“What’s the preliminary Tony?” Nash asked once he was beside him.

“Asides from the body, nada. The scene is pretty damn clean considering the location. Usable finger prints? Null. Murder weapon? Nix. Not even a trail, blood or otherwise, leading to the crime scene. Even the janitor is pretty damn clueless, seen and heard nothing.”

“Hmff… Anything on the body? Do we have an estimated time of death?”

“No injuries anywhere on her body asides from the stab wound on her gut, just above the belly button, it went deep enough to cut her spine, but it was inflicted post mortem hence the little pool of blood. Such injuries would normally leave you paralyze and bleeding profusely which leads me to conclude that she was killed somewhere else and was dumped here.

Other details my team and I noticed is that her hair was recently bleached and some dye was applied but whoever applied it stopped half way. She was dressed but it look like the murderer put them on her when she was already dead. You also have to consider that the estimated time of death was two days ago.

It’s like the murderer played Barbie and suddenly decided she wasn’t the right doll.”

“Fishy...”

“Anyways Mike, if you want to get more details, you have to wait for the lab and autopsy report. I’m not confident we’ll find anything useful here even if we dusted ‘till kingdom come.”

“Thanks Tony and by the way, may I ask if that’s black?” Nash pointed at the coffee Anthony has been drinking.

“Creamy white, my friend.” A grin appeared on the face of the CFO. “Got it from a shop just outside of campus. The place was jammed with co-eds. Maybe some of them will take an interest on the case, if you know what I mean.” Tony then flashed his eyebrows.

“You got to be kidding me right? Young, wild and free ain’t exactly my type.” Nash lit a cigarette and waved Anthony goodbye, “I’ll see ya at the department. I still have to figure who the vic is and maybe one of these college dim-wits would know her name.”

[hider=Scenario Information]
This scenario is considered canon.

[b]Mystery[/b] - Who’s the victim? Try to create a character sheet of the victim using your characters. Her name, age, appearance, personality and background are all important but you don't have to answer all of it at once. Remember: You can define her however you like as long as it follows the criteria. You can conform, oppose or take a neutral stance on other players’ description of the victim.

From now on it’s free-flowing, no post order. Use this as an example of a “plot developing” scenario. It doesn’t suspect another player but includes plot-details (the nature of her death).
