D3 MA-LA - Daily Feature 3 - Frantic Discussions

During the day, it is busy with the throngs of unfortunates hoping to get a helping hand from the Bleak Cabal. Bleaker guards patrol the area making sure people obey the rules and stay in line. Of course, they don’t patrol too hard – after all, what’s the point? At night, the lines clear, businesses close, and the predators come out to the streets...

Rifling through his pockets, you find numerous flyers and adverts. That Plus the lute, the charisma... This man was a tout!

Feature's head tilts to one side and a another, to the front and back, raising one, then another of the flyers up as they look at them pensively. The whirring suggests cogs inside hard at work.

"Um. Who? And even more... how?", they wonder with a chuckle.

Turning to the sparkling drow, then.

"Ms Elf, ya know anything about this poor orc?"

OOC:
Does anything on any of these flyers or adverts give any clue as to who the orc was?

And... does anything around give any idea as to how, or when, they might have started losing their mind? The orc couldn't have been walking around like that long... could he?

The flyers are stuff you could find on any tout. As for the timeframe, well... the blood on his clothes is freshly spilled. Suggesting what was done to him was done extremely Quick, and extremely adeptly. No ordinary Master Butcher could hope to reach such levels of controlled violence.

"No, I-I was just passing by --" Illi breathes in. "I know about as much as you do."

On realising that, the monodrone looks around again, even though they're half certain the cutter (they chuckle a bit at that) will likely be far away by now.

Maybe the blood spilled somewhere else at least?...

They do nod to Illiam as they answer, a big smile completely out of place on their face.

"One, one! And... wouldn't happen to have seen any pools of blood somewhere nearby, would ya?"

The trail of blood leads further up the street, to another dead end alley.

Illi will point, and then ask softly, "Would any of you, uhm, watch the body while we check?"

Feature nodded to the other Bleakers after Illiam's request. "Just make sure the poor sod is still around when we come back, could ya?", they say to the others with a wide smile.

They then nod to Illiam and tries to follow the trail of blood, hopping along the way.

Illi nods back and walks with them, singing a soft song under her breath to comfort herself.

OOC: *Looks at Feature's passive perception*
I'd recommend you roll Perception instead, but up to you XD
