[ Kitty's voice is shaky. She's shooting this video from a dark-ish room, something a little spooky - a room with a lot of display drawers in the background. ]

Sorry. I, erm - I suppose this seems almost - copycattish, 'cause Rincewind - just the other day -

[ She takes a shaky breath, and gives a little shake of her head, like she's denying the complete and utter stupidity of her previous statement. ]

I'm in my garage - the apartment Satya used to live in - and I found...Anyway. If you find bad things - like, really bad things - like, bits of...people...You're not supposed to touch them, yeah? Or anything.

[ And then she runs a hand through her hair and bites out: ]

Someone help me with this, please.

[ Oh god, Kitty. Miles stares at his side of the screen in open horror. ]

I'll be right there. What's the address?

[ And what the hell is going on? ]

[rathercommon]

You've - been to my garage, yeah? There's a flat above the garage.

[darkpants_warmfeeling]

[This is Jacob's concerned face. What the hell is this? As though there isn't enough going on already.]

I'll be right there. It's in Heropa, right?

[rathercommon]

Yeah.

[ She bites her lip as she nods. Then - ]

Thanks. It's - you know where my garage is, yeah? I guess you can look at Bloogle Maps if not.

[khajidont]

Oh, geez. No, don't touch them, that - I mean, evidence aside, I don't think it's... sanitary. Do you, uh, do you want me to come over?

[rathercommon]

I mean -

[ She gnaws on her lower lip. ]

They're all...behind glass and things. So I don't think that -

[ A hesitation, then she shakes her head, then says: ]

Come over, please.

[unbreaker]

Sorry in advance 'cause this is gonna be hell of a question, but I gotta ask...you got any idea how long the person's been dead, Miss Jones?

Video

[rathercommon]

You haven't got to apologize.

[ Kitty lets out a breath. She's shaky, but she's practical as ever. The gruesomeness of this conversation bothers her, but she doesn't let herself get thrown truly off-track. ]

It's...been a while. The remains aren't fresh. [ A beat. ] And it's not...a person. It's...multiple people.

[lapwing]

Is this a hygiene question, or did someone explode on your good clothes?

I've got a couple of tricks on that one.

[ The actual dead person being of less concern. It's not likely to be fresh enough to be tasty, for one. ]

[ barTIMAEUS ]

No one exploded!! Bits meaning - pieces. Preserved pieces. Like - trophies.

[doubleblind]

Not to be a broken record, but don't just touch it. If you still need help disposing of it properly, I can come by.

[Cosima is not the go to clone for disposing dead bodies (that'd be Alison), but she's not the worst at it either.]

video;

[rathercommon]

[ Right. ]

I don't think I ought to dispose of them. They probably ought to go back to - god, to their families and that sort of thing, right?

[hunksmash]

A-at the garage? Really? I--

Isn't it best to just call the cops or something?

[rathercommon]

[ She shakes her head, and says breathily - ]

Not until I've figured out what's going on. They'll just screw things up. Or use this somehow.

[slightlyoffchilt]

It is almost as if we have a serial killer on the loose.

[He hopes Hannibal is eavesdropping.]

[rathercommon]

[ She shakes her head. Also: God, Chilton, you don't have to sound so pleased about it. ]

No, I don't...think so. This is really different from the other killing. And I'm pretty sure that I, um, know who did this.

Video

[thevictoriandetective]

[He looks like it's his birthday and he just got all the presents. He's beyond delighted.]

YES! A serial killer! I need to have a look immediately.

Video

[rathercommon]

[ what the hell ]

Why do you look - This isn't something to be happy over, is it. This is wretched.

voice;

[postcog]

Is there a recognizable body?

If this is connected to the other one, I must have a look.

voice;

[rathercommon]

No. It's really just bits of them. Fingers, and clumps of hair, and an eyeball...

voice;

[shifting]

Fuck.

[Satya's former apartment.

Sam might know something about that.]

Kitty - Christ. You okay? Do you have someone headin' over already?

voice;

[rathercommon]

Erm - yeah. A couple of people. I'm all right. More startled than anything.

VOICE.

[mantlepieces]

[ Oh, jesus. This, naturally, hits close to home enough for Reggie that he stays off video this time, feeling like he probably would be unable to hide color draining queasily from his face. ]

Do you still-- [ Then he pauses. What was he about to just do, offer help? ] So, what. Did she do it? Kill people in there?

VOICE.

[rathercommon]

[ She hesitates as well. Because what was he about to just do, offer help? Well. She answers his question rather than calling him on that near-kindness. ]

Not in here, I think. There's no blood or anything. I think she...just brought bits of them in here to keep.

Video

[am_i_a_monster]

Yeah, don't touch them and get away from them.

Video

[rathercommon]

[ Kitty lets out a shaky breath, shaking her head. ]

Believe me, I've got no desire to touch them. I basically want to dip my hands in bleach.

video.

[admemoriam]

[He looks both acutely concerned, and strangely distracted.]

They'd want you to call the police.

["They" = the bits of people.]

video.

[rathercommon]

[ A slight hesitation. Uncertainly - ]

Um...Who would?
