THIRD INVESTIGATION

[bathymetric]

It's Friday again. The same Friday, if the calendar is to be believed, that has already brought you so much trouble twice now. Well at least the once, but... you know. Time is already so weird out here.

As you all wake up, there at least aren't any bodies directly outside your doors? But it's still a deadline day for a motive, and, well... even three weeks in, you might have a sense what that means.

But hey, maybe third time's the charm...?

[scouserer]

[Well. If nobody's gonna stop him, Constantine's going to make a bee-line for the bar. If he so happens to find a body on the way, so be it.]

[jibunwo]

[JOHN IT'S LIKE 8AM?????]

[bathymetric]

[ You go, buddy! There are no bodies in the bar. ]

[leaveittomother]

[Reika's up and... well, let's go check the cart area to see if anyone's run over.]

[bathymetric]

[ ... Well, judging from the state of the Party Zone, you... might want to consider not going up those stairs just yet.

On a second point, before we get into exactly what's going on here... Hey, Reika! Are you wearing shoes? ]

[jibunwo]

[great, hallway's corpse-free let's head for the go karts and rollercoaster because he's sure that's a death trap]

[provided we don't trip over a body on the way there]

[bathymetric]

[ Well, you see...! ]

[scythegun]

[Yeahhhhh so someone's definitely dead. Deadfinitely. Anyway, how are things looking if Yeager wants to head downstairs for laser tag?]

[bathymetric]

[ Well, I hope you're wearing shoes if that's on your mind...! ]

[onlyyoucan]

[Let's check out the showers, that seems like a reasonable thing to do.]

[bathymetric]

[ There's a couple things off in the bathroom, but no bodies! ]

[paucipan]

[Plumeria's going to be walking to the ice cream parlor with B.B. in tow this morning! Surely nothing bad is going to happen today, right...?]

[bathymetric]

[ Well, you see... ]

[silentscout]

[Let's check the Buffet first since that's right by the rooms.]

[bathymetric]

[ There's one minor thing off in here that will help us later, but for all intents and purposes it's as nice as it ever was! Enjoy the body-free ambiance of the Jimmy Buffet. ]

[ltcommandroid]

[Well, Data's out and about, but this is about Parker's breakfast time. He'll head down to the buffet to get some crab legs and stuff!]

[bathymetric]

[ Say hi to Lalli while you're there! ]

[ahelpingpaw]

[Ah, Friday. Time to face the music and hope there are no corpses to be found. While going to find bodies first thing in the morning seems kind of morbid, well...he wants to make sure there's nothing to be worrying about.

...the teen zone. It's one of his usual haunts, may as well check first to see if someone spilled blood over there]

[bathymetric]

[ You know, this question might actually be relevant to you, Filbo. ]

[cethflayn]

[sus

Well, she's not showering first off, not today, so...how's the Jimmy Buffet look? She would like a breakfast......]

[bathymetric]

[ Man it's shaping up to be a regular breakfast party in this nice normal room, huh? ]

[sivard]

[This is going to go swell, isn't it?

He'll head on over to the buffet.]

[bathymetric]

[ It's a lovely day to be at the Jimmy Buffet with your friends Lalli, Data, and Flayn! ]

[bathymetric]

[Snap. Crackle. Speakers everywhere on the boat come to life in a brief chorus of static. Everyone should know what that means.]

Hey, passengers! It’s your captain speaking, and if you guessed that someone’s died, then you’re completely right! And you win… nothing! Besides a corpse because The Clown is dead.

...Huh, kinda thought it’d be funnier than this. Anyway, y’all know the drill: clues, Jones, trial. Alright.

PARTY ZONE

[bathymetric]

[ Muffled "CHRISTINE" in the background... ]

[ltcommandroid]

[CHRISTINE, CHRISTINE...................

Okay, well. Data's not gonna get cut by any stray glass and he's pretty capable of shifting any debris off of Sylvando, as necessary, so he'll just...walk on over to check this out........

He's not moving anything initially; it's good to see things as they are first. What exactly are we looking at?]

BUFFET

[bathymetric]

[ Quick, someone protect Jimmy! ]

[silentscout]

[Give me that buffet clue, he's already there.]

1-A MEN'S BATHROOM

[bathymetric]

[ Hm. Well, everyone ends up here after a good party, I suppose. ]

[jibunwo]

[nope nope nope he's getting the hell out of there]

[Let's poke around in here instead. What are we looking at?]

GYM

[bathymetric]

[ might as well just... go get swole about it for a sec... drown ur feelings in sick gains ]

[deathmagnetic]

[ Okay, so with so many people clustered around in that other area, Risotto headed elsewhere. Maybe coincidentally to the gym to get some exercise or something, who knows.

First, was there anything off at first glance? ]
