FIFTH INVESTIGATION

[bathymetric]

Friday morning dawns like any other. There's no sharp indicator whether or not you've all managed to avoid this motive - nothing missing returned, or anything like that. You still have the photos of the Ideal Futures that Jack gave you. The hallway outside your rooms is again clear of bodies. The air is still, the ship quiet.

Still, you can't help the feeling that, well... why would this Friday be any different? You've been in this cycle for over a month now, after all. But... only one way to find out!

[God, there are a few people she's worried about this morning... Okay, so, she's going to go out to the party zone, is it intact?]

[bathymetric]

[ Feel free to party to your heart's content, Freyja! The Zone is clear! ]

[ahelpingpaw]

[So, it's Friday. By now it's to be expected something horrible will be found and the day will turn out to be worse than every other week. Would this be any exception?

Hardly. Probably.

Better go to the non-Hyperion cafe area for something to eat that isn't seafood. Cake pops and coffee, probably]

[bathymetric]

[ On your way down, visible from the stairs... looks like something happened in the Floor 2-A Lounge. ]

[Well, time for Data to go back and feed his ravenous children. But, being a cruel father who must spend one thousand years in jail, he will first make a bit of a final sweep around the boat. He's up near mini golf, let's start there?]

[bathymetric]

[ Well, before that... ]

[scouserer]

[So! Constantine's setting out for the McDonalds for some awful fast food breakfast--anything he can spot on the way up?]

[bathymetric]

[ You might not, in fact, be loving this. ]

[cethflayn]

[...

Goddamn everything about everything is sus.

How's the Jimmy Buffet look?]

[bathymetric]

[ Jimmy is doing just fine! The Buffet is unsullied. ]

[scythegun]

[Might as well go make sure laser tag is once again safe!!]

[bathymetric]

[ Well, on the way he'll run into this whole circus. RIP. ]

[leaveittomother]

[Time to read some thrillers before a real mystery! Time to go to the library.]

[bathymetric]

[ Enjoy your thrillers! The library is clear. ]

[bathymetric]

[ Well, once things quiet down a little in the lounge and craft room, the dulcet tones of James Buffett are replaced with... less dulcet ones. ]

Good morning, passengers! Captain Jack here, and can I just say I LOVE this energy? Took you guys long enough to pick up the pace - anyway, you know the drill!

The Mail-Order Lover and Lewd Dream - do people even say "lewd" anymore - anyway, they're both dead and it's up to you guys to figure out who did it! Good luck, gang!
