_{[ The feed clicks on and shows not one, but two-almost-Karamatsus. The difference between them is easy to see once you find it: Karamatsu’s confident posture and Ichimatsu’s slouch— Karamatsu’s bold eyebrows and Ichimatsu’s stubby ones. Yes, this is one out of the five other identical brothers that Karamatsu has. Some of you have met them both and maybe have noticed the difference right away, others may still be struggling to tell them apart. Here they are, side by side, though, and it may be hard to make out good details of them in the dim light. Karamatsu clears his throat, looking rather serious for a change. It takes him awhile to speak, running one hand down his face and curving it around his chin, obviously distressed by all of this. Ichimatsu? Not so much. ]}

Ah, good evening, everyone. It’s I, Karamatsu.
It’s been.. awhile since I have spoken with you all, but I come baring some tragic news. Yesterday, me and my brother took a walk through the atrium to find better sources of light. What we found was something else. In the trees, we found the gruesome display of organs thrown over the vegetation in a horrific showcase. A—ah, that’s.. not all that we have found..

_{[ He looks a little pale just talking about this and for a moment he has to pardon himself out of the camera. ]}

...You’re still sick about that? Pansy.

[Ah, there’s another difference. While they both speak in deeper voices than one might expect from their looks, Ichimatsu speaks much less clearly, barely opening his mouth and mumbling as opposed to Karamatsu’s clear enunciation. Nevermind the fact that Ichimatsu looks approximately like he’s not used a hairbrush in a week. He rolls his shoulders and takes over, scrunching his face at his brother off-screen.]

There was a boot in the trail, dunno what happened to the other one. The viscera was all up in the trees, like he said, but it was too dark to really tell what was where and if any of them was still intact. There was also a heart in a gold box-- we surrendered it to find out who it belonged to, so I guess there’s not really anything for a burial.

_{[ Karamatsu returns to the feed, wiping his lips across his sleeve. ]}
….For those of you who are friends and family of a passenger named “Rey” … my condolences go out to you. Please keep close to those people you love. Thank you.

[Excuse him as he steps a wide step away from him, nose crinkled.]

...this is one of those times I'm really not sure how we're related.

perma-action, off of the feed

[glitterpants]

.. I don't know how we are related either. How can you stay completely calm about this? This Rey person may have family aboard this ship. Whatever is out there, it could still be here.

_{[ That just encourages Karamatsu to never leave his brother's side. ]}

We are staying here until we know it is safe, Ichimatsu.
_{[ Although Ichimatsu harasses him, insults him, mistreats him... Karamatsu still follows the trend of coddling him like the rest of them do. ]}

A golden box?

[ This is getting creepy. Like, fairytale creepy. It sounds almost ritualistic to Jace. ]

If it was placed like that it wasn't by accident. What you saw in the atrium, the other organs. Did anyone record how they were left? A picture would be good if you have it.

[ Jace Wayland: among the more sensitive of your crewmates here, everyone. ]

[glitterpants]

A golden box, correct. It was almost as if they wanted us to find it being in such a flashy container.
_{[ At Jace's question, Karamatsu feels his lips pull to one side of his face, making a thin line. ]}

Ah.. I did not think to make a recording, but I did video talk with somebody else while I was at the scene. Perhaps if there is a way to view what I had messaged there is a chance for that.

_{[ Karamatsu isn't very tech-savvy with this stuff. Unless Ichimatsu recorded it with his communicator without him knowing.
Karamatsu also doesn't know that the mess isn't there anymore. It was cleaned up right after they left as if nothing ever happened. He doesn't know cause he's going to have a problem going back there for awhile. ]}

[voice] un: hello

[unluckynumberseven]

[He knows this guy! Not that he had a brother, though. Twins, he guesses. How nice.

This is the second time someone has called out on the network after finding a gruesome murder scene. He hopes this isn't becoming a trend.

Your young fan is back, Karamatsu, and he sounds concerned.]

Are you okay? Is your brother okay?

voice | un: ny4n

[ichimyatsu]

[He leans back into Karamatsu's communicator, entirely ignoring his personal space.]

I'm probably more okay than he is, this loser keeps getting sick over the gore.

[realists]

Aside from her organs and her heart in the box, the only thing there was her boot?

[ she hates to make him recount something he will be no doubt recounting for days, the both of them, but she wants to be clear about rey's... status. bodhi, at least, had the rest of them to claim him even if jyn couldn't do it herself but rey didn't have anyone like that. ]

text | un: ny4n

[ichimyatsu]

that we were able to see, yes.

[A beat, and he garners from "her" that Jyn knew Rey.]

...her. You knew this person?

un: washington

[sixth]

[ Wash doesn't know whoever Rey is, just like he didn't know the last victim, so his concern isn't for the departed. It isn't overly obvious there's any concern at all, really. His expression is a little flat and his voice is even. Except that he's checking in. That's proof of the concern. ]

How're you two doing?

un: 2cool

[glitterpants]

We're doing.. fine now.
_{[ now that he has lost his lunch twice since this happened.... s'all good. ]}

Did you.. investigate the area after we left? Is that what you were doing?

[fujita]

[ her first reaction is "i guess you found your brother", but then dorothy actually watches the rest of the video and — ]

Shit. Are you okay?

[ichimyatsu]

I'm fine, he's apparently becoming bulimic. [Ichimatsu you are not kind.]

Voice - Un: Hinatahaj

[thisisourfuture]

...that's two. [This is starting to worry him. More than it already was. His voice is subdued but he still sounds rather calm.] Did the box have any kind of markings on it?

un: ny4n

[ichimyatsu]

I thought I'd seen something about another body. The box was plain, just gold and obviously set out to be found.

( un: maine )

[rumbling]

[ See, now things are getting more interesting. And by interesting, it's all starting to raise a few little flags. Now they have a mystery afoot.

( lol.... ) ]

who did you "surrender" your findings to?

un: 2cool

[glitterpants]

After contacting Washington, he told us to leave as soon as we could and submit what we collected to the medbay. Today, they send us a message with the identification.

[leaderboards]

I get the sense you two don't deal with bodies often. How are you doing?

text | encrypted | un: 2cool

[glitterpants]

_{[ Oh, he's gonna jump all over Carolina's response. She's worried! But he'll talk about that part later. ]}
Most of the places we went to and most of the things we did back home typically did not include finding bodies ripped apart and thrown everywhere... usually no..

There would be the one aggressive pachinko player who wanted to take his anger out on others for his bad luck, but i do not think it ever got that serious.

private video; user: katsuki

[yokunaru]

[His brows are drawn together in obvious concern. There's a queasy look on his face, too.]

The heart was in a box... it sounds like someone is leaving the bodies to be found, then.

[Yuuri's gaze flicks between the two brothers now.] Are you two okay?

private video; possibly actually from karamatsu's communicator

[ichimyatsu]

[Ichimatsu provides a flat look, quirking his mouth.]

I'm fine as long as you don't join the ranks of Vomit Princesses with him, have you two seriously never watched gory movies or something? We're fine, he's just shaken like a bad cocktail.

[dadandgone]

This is the second victim right?

You two wouldn't happen to know if there's a connection aside from the gore and violence of the deaths? The people you gave the box over for identification, did they say anything?

text; un: ny4n

[ichimyatsu]

seems that way. only info we got back was a name, and we don't even know the passenger. do you have information on the first that we could compare?

text; un: syndulla

[firstrebel]

Was there any sign that someone other than you and the victim had been in the area?

text; un: ny4n

[ichimyatsu]

not that we could see, but it was pretty dark in there.

VIDEO, UN: ░░░░░░

[doxing]

(oh, great. sorry ichimatsu, this first one's for karamatsu... she's got an odd standing with him.)

You got your gun with you, Kara? Keep it on you at all times, now, got it?

(then she addresses both brothers.)

Chin up, boys. This is gonna get messier.

_{[ fffffuck it's Sombra.
try not to nut, try not to nut.....]}

Oh, my sweet rose, I'll have you know I have not taken my hands off of my gun at all. Truly, your concern is treasured within my heart.
_{[ he never told??? Ichimatsu?? that he got a gun?? ]}

If you are going to use your thorns to prick deeply into the flesh of the enemy we are dealing with, I would love to observe you.
_{[ and get sick again? Who knows how much ass Sombra is capable of kicking and how messy she is with it. ]}

text | un: artsy

[angele]

Are you two doing okay?

I'm sorry you guys had to be the one to find that.

text | un: 2cool

[glitterpants]

_{[ s-so much concern.. he doesn't know what to think.. ]}
Well... i feel a lot better *now.*

I am not. i would have preferred us find it instead of nobody finding it. It is important people who knew Rey understand her passing.
_{[ it's just with his shit luck he came across it tbh.. ]}

text; un; tonyhawkprosk85

[shenunigans]

well if that doesn't bring your cheerios up for an encore i dont know what will

seriously tho
is this a legit report or is this campfire stories in the spooky ship
id go check it out myself but im in the middle of multiple important projects right now
plus youre missing the creepy torch under your faces illuminating your eerily similar features in the darkness so im inclined to believe you
has anyone told you guys you look really similar
i think thats the real ripleys believe it or not special feature here

[Also it's gross and he doesn't want to look.]

text | un: 2cool

[glitterpants]

Would i honestly feel so sick if it wasn't true? Ah why would either of us make it up to scare everyone?
And yes. They say that a lot. My entire life, actually.
_{[ he's not ready for ur shit, dave, so have some sass...... ]}
