SECOND INVESTIGATION

[bathymetric]

Friday morning rolls in and when you awake, your memories have been returned to you. No ceremony or anything, they're just... back. The Captain is silent, the ship is silent...

Probably a good idea to go check and see if anything happened while you all were asleep. You might not have to go very far at all.

Comments

[onlyyoucan]

[Sara wakes up shuddering and crying in her bed. And the reason isn't lost on her.

Immediately, she gets up, gets into her uniform, and starts searching the area. The party zone seems like a good option to check first.]

[bathymetric]

[ Well, see, about that!

... Who's that lying on the hallway floor over there? ]

[sivard]

[Well, Zaveid has a bad feeling about today.

The memory returning is... well. It is what it is. He follows Sara because why not.]

[paucipan]

[Well, this is just fucking peachy, ugh. Plumeria's going to the buffet to grab something to eat.

...Just ignore how red faced and puffy her eyes look, it's been a rough morning.]

[bathymetric]

[ You could do that, Plum!

Just be aware of this whole thing. ]

[scouserer]

[Oh, God. Overwhelmed. Disoriented. Constantine jolts awake, stumbling out of his bed and poking his head out into the hallway outside of the rooms.]

[bathymetric]

[ Annnd uh hey, Constantine! Guess what's like right outside your room! A fun surprise! ]

[ltcommandroid]

[Well, Data's been out patrolling all night - apparently to no effect. The memory's return is sudden, and he's startled into stillness for a moment. Then, quickly, he goes to start a search of the ship. Let's begin with the party zone, maybe?]

[bathymetric]

[ Sure! But you'll have to step over this to get there. ]

[ahelpingpaw]

[Well that sure is an important memory back. It's back and boy does Filbo feel worried about that.

It doesn't take long for him to come out of his room in a hurry. No, it can't be someone died...right?

There he goes towards the top deck]

[jibunwo]

[COOL NOW HE’S EVEN MORE PISSED OFF]

[he’ll just storm right out of his room and if nothing stops him he’ll start by checking the library because clearly someone fucked up]

[thisaroma]

[ Aaaand Decus is going to come stumbling out of the men's bathroom in the living quarters looking like garbage. How's this end of the hall looking? ]

[bathymetric]

[ not great lads ]

[ignobel]

[Allenby is one of the relatively later risers... tumbling out of her room with her hair tousled and looking about as discombobulated as you can look on a murder morning.

She’s going to try for the pool first off but like. Is there too much of a traffic jam for that.]

[cethflayn]

[Oh no.

It was a fishing tournament...for her. And the Professor won it and brought her a Teutates Loach. And it had been delicious. And her father had been so relieved to see her in high spirits after the Death Knight had...

No wonder the Captain had taken it - it was a precious memory. But if she remembers it now, that means...]

...Lorna, are you there?

[Flayn will not leave Room 2 until she knows her roommate is okay.]

[bonesorter]

[Don't worry, Lorna is indeed here!

... And looking a little puffy eyed from where she's sitting up in bed because whatever she remembered must not have been great, but--]

I'm here.

[bathymetric]

[Hope you weren't sleeping in, because, once again, the rooms of the ship are suddenly flooded with the oh so charming tones of your Captain.]

Hey there, passengers! Remember me? Ha, nah you couldn't forget me, even if you tried. But I'm hoping you haven't forgotten last week, because hoo boy! You're all on a roll, now!

That's right! The Oceanologist is dead. And man, from the looks of things? That must've hurt... a-yacht.

[Several seconds of painful silence pass.]

Y'see? Y- because of- I can't actually hear anyone laugh, so I'm just gonna assume it was hilarious. Anyway, investigation starts now. Meet up with Jones in the theatre later. Same as before, okay? Now go on.

CAFE

[bathymetric]

[ Come on in, relax, enjoy a cuppa! ]

[paucipan]

[Plumeria fucking needs a cuppa at this point to deal with this shit. Anything obviously off about the room upon stepping inside?]

LAZER TAG

[bathymetric]

[ pew pew, etc ]

[jibunwo]

[you know what the hallway’s crowded so he’s going to assume that’s handled and head elsewhere]

[are we looking at signs of a struggle or is he going to have to poke around]

LOUNGE

[bathymetric]

[ Relax, take a load off! ]

[onlyyoucan]

[Sara walks off and down to the lounge. Anything obviously off here?]

LIVING QUARTERS

[bathymetric]

[ cant even take a shower in this place without stepping over a dead body smh ]

[ltcommandroid]

[Well, since he's here already and last week a lot of people seemed sort of traumatized by the body, Data's gonna look over Adeline this time! What injuries can be immediately cataloged at first glance?]

1-A STAIRS

[bathymetric]

[ Going up! Or... Going Down would be more accurate, I suppose. ]

[conceivesfrenzy]

[ Alice was going up to the cafe to get some coffee, anyway! What's the stitch on these here stairs? ]

1-B LOWER DECK

[bathymetric]

[ maybe the 1-B decks are just cursed already ]

[hypnowhip]

[LET'S...FIND OUT, I GUESS.

Sylvando was real tempted to just close his door again after seeing a body right outside of it on top of getting that horrible memory back, but he's determined to help find some evidence this time around.

Is there anything immediately off out here?]

LIBRARY

[bathymetric]

[ Rip the books.... ]

[calx]

[ Albedo is in here fairly often so!

Are the books really dead first off? General first impressions as he takes a look around. ]

CLOSED to Lalli-

[calx]

[ Albedo had noticed that his roommate was having a rough morning; sensible all things considered and if Albedo wasn't himself maybe he would have felt the same way. By now he knows they're both quiet in a sense, private too, so he had spared Lalli a glance to make sure he's not in any immediate danger before heading off to investigate.

It's a short one given the crowd around many of the areas, and it doesn't take Albedo long to finish his investigation of the library and return to the room. Now that some has passed, he calls out to his roommate, though he doesn't infringe on his space any. ]

Lalli, how are you feeling?

[silentscout]

[Someone else has died. A trial will be soon. Lalli is well aware of these facts, he was awake when the announcement was broadcast. But those troubles seem far away compared to the troubles within his own mind.

It might be hard to see Lalli at first, but if Albedo checks under the bed he'll find Lalli in his usual sleeping spot. Except he's not sleeping, he's curled up in a ball and hugging his knees tightly to his chest. We'll say he's facing outwards, so he'll actually be able to see Albedo if he opens his eyes.]

No.

[That's. Not really an answer to Albedo's question, but it's about all he can get out right now.]
