FIRST INVESTIGATION

[bathymetric]

Friday, the day The Captain set for your murder deadline, arrives without much fanfare. There are no trumpets, you aren't woken up by any kind of monologue or announcement... dawn simply arrives. Wonder what that means. Maybe yet another of The Captain's plans has fallen through.

The hallway outside of your rooms seems free and clear of anything suspicious, but... something tells you it might be a good idea to check farther afield. Happy investigating, passengers!

[scouserer]

[It's morning, which means it's time to stare listlessly at some food before choosing not to eat anything. Nevermind the sense of impending doom hanging overhead. Time to make his way to the buffet.]

[bathymetric]

[ There's a couple things Off in here for sure, but uh. We'll get there. ]

[onlyyoucan]

[Sara's venturing towards the Party Zone, still lugging Emily around with her. What's going on in here?]

[bathymetric]

[ Party Zone is free and clear! Happy Several Days After New Year! ]

[oceangirlfriend]

[Hmm...breakfast or a swim first? The whole "don't swim on a full stomach" thing is a myth, but Adeline doesn't feel that hungry yet. So she'll be heading for the pool.]

[bathymetric]

[ Well, see, the thing about that is...

Looks like someone beat you to the water. And is just floating. Vibing, one might hope. ]

[paucipan]

[Ugh, what a morning this'll be. But at least for now it seems like nothing is explicitly wrong.

So, Plumeria's just gonna go off towards the gym to get a bit of a walk in. Surely nothing bad'll happen here???]

[bathymetric]

[ I mean she'll be passing some weird stuff but like. No bodies! Thumbs up??? ]

[ltcommandroid]

[Well, Data's not exactly the greatest at picking up vibes...which means that he's just gonna be waking up at the exact start of "morning", as per usual, and heading to the buffett buffet. You know, to hang out with people while they eat!]

[bathymetric]

[ There's definitely some things off in here, but no bodies! ]

[cethflayn]

[Biiiiiig yawn as Flayn comes out of her room, holding her clothes for the day as she makes her way to the bathroom to take a shower and freshen up for the day. Any, uh. Any weird shit going on this way?]

[bathymetric]

[ Nope! No toilet knives this case, (un)fortunately. ]

[leaveittomother]

[Reika's just going to drift on over to the library. She needs to find more books to add to her collection for her roommate to throw around.]

[bathymetric]

[ There's some stuff going on in here, but uh. No bodies, feel free to check back during investigation proper. ]

[jibunwo]

[Surely today will have no terrible incidents. It was probably fine. So he’d mind his own business and leave room 11 with intent to go to the library, unless anything remarkably strange met him on the way.]

[bathymetric]

[ Say hi to Reika! ]

[sharddrive]

[So this means nothing bad happened, right? Can he get to the theater to check on things without being interrupted?]

[bathymetric]

[ The theatre..... is locked, actually. That's probably fine? ]

[bathymetric]

[ After a moment, The Captain's voice pipes up: ]

Hey, passengers! It’s your captain speaking. Great news! Nah, you’re not getting off the ship yet, but hey! Looks like one of you took the plunge! Really made a splash, if you know what I mean. I... look, The Red Herring is dead.

Anyway, I’ll let you all get to searching around, y’know, finding clues and whatnot. You’ll like this; it’s like a puzzle, involving a dead person. Don’t take too long, since Jones will be by later to gather you all up for the main event, kay? Kay. Hop to it!

THE POOL

[bathymetric]

[ Fun fact: the world's largest swimming pool is at the San Alfonso Del Mar resort in Santiago, Chile. ]

[oceangirlfriend]

[So Adeline's got the body out of the pool. Time for the most basic check here-any signs that Carmen drowned?]

UPPER DECK [AREA 1-B]

[bathymetric]

[ Better go deck it out! ]

[paucipan]

[Well, Plumeria doesn't want to check out the body at all, so she's going back here towards the direction she went to the gym from--anything obviously off here?]

LIBRARY

[bathymetric]

[ Fun Fact: The oldest library in the world currently available to the public is the al-Qarawiyyin library in Fez, Morocco. ]

[leaveittomother]

[Alright, so, Reika's chilling out. Anything immediately obvious right away?]

THE JIMMY BUFFET

[bathymetric]

[ Fun Fact: The first successful Margaritaville restaurant opened in Key West Florida in 1985. The first unsuccessful Margaritaville, however, had previously opened in Gulf Shores, Alabama. ]

[cethflayn]

Where-

[Flayn came running out of the showers upon hearing the announcement.

Well, I mean. She got dressed in a real hurry and then ran out, so her hair is still sopping wet and she looks a mess, but she's clothed and that's what's important.

She comes to a stop in the Jimmy Buffet to breathe, bracing herself with hands on her knees. She doesn't know where the body is, but uh. From where she is right now, can she notice anything weird in the vicinity?]
