"Yeah, let's."

Does it look like anyone's watching the truck, or coming to or going from it?

Permalink

Not right now.

Permalink

Good time to check more closely, then. Casually.

Permalink

Nothing much to a distant inspection.

To a closer inspection, while no one's paying attention: there's a bit of dried blood, at the back around the doors. The doors are all locked.

Permalink

She checks quickly to make sure no one's paying attention, then melts out the core of a lock.

Permalink

The back of the truck...

Contains meat. Looks like beef, with some shelves of chicken. Blood splatter on the floor in the middle.

Permalink

Alas. She was hoping for a corpse.

Permalink

Not a corpse, but if she squints there might be some fabric in the back.

Permalink

She doublechecks that Bellona's still watching from across the street, then climbs into the van to get a look at the fabric.

Permalink

It's a scrap, stuck to a nail. Blue, soft, thin.

Permalink

Seems like a Clue.

She grabs it, then jumps back out of the truck.

Permalink

Nobody accosts her on her way back to where Bellona's watching.

Permalink

She shows the cloth to her.

"Found this in the truck. Doesn't seem like something a butcher'd wear."

Permalink

"Yeah, not at all. Think that's our guy?"

Permalink

"It's the best lead we've found so far. Worth a look."

Permalink

"We gonna hang around and then follow him?"

Permalink

"Or maybe check wherever he comes out from."

Permalink

"Yeah, probably more manageable on foot."

Permalink

"We can also look tomorrow if that truck actually matches any of the butcher shops in town, and maybe pick him up again that way."

Permalink

"Yeah! That'll allow us to investigate more on our schedule."

Permalink

"Right."

And now to keep watch."

Permalink

"The boring part!"

Permalink

"Can't alchemize time."

Permalink

"We should figure out how to. That'd be fun."

Permalink

"Potentially pretty dangerous, too."
