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!

[ Well, there is something very big and out of place lying next to Decus! ]

[cethflayn]

[Sure let's go take a look at that, hopefully it's not cursed

it's probably cursed]

[bathymetric]

[ It... definitely looks like it might be literally cursed, that's not out of the question. ]

[cethflayn]

...There is no way I can lift this.

[Hhhahahha...so uh...odd question, any blood or bits of wall or signs of recent use on that bad boy of a sord?]

[scythegun]

[Since he's right here!]

I can carry it down for you, if you'd like.

[listen it's fine, he got a cursed sword last week, he can take another down, surely the curses will cancel each other out.]

[cethflayn]

Thank you, Yeager. I would.

[Her noodle mage arms appreciate it.]

[scythegun]

[A nod! He'll handle it, no worries!]

[bathymetric]

[ Well, the most obvious thing is probably the bits of faerie wing caught up in the blades at the top! ]

[cethflayn]

[OH SON OF A BITCH

Oh that's so not good, oh no]

Did he truly...?

[Is that the main evidence on the sord or is there more? Flayn will check it from tip to handle.]

[bathymetric]

[ That's the main evidence, but there's definitely general signs of blood and wear as well. ]

[cethflayn]

[Jesus Sothis Christ]

...Ugh. No, no...he still did not deserve this. He still did not. Not a single one of us has deserved this.

[But still, holy fuck, Decus.

Anything else for Flayn to find or is she good to pray for his soul to meet Alice in the beyond, only because he'd want that to happen.]

[bathymetric]

[ All the other evidence is Decus body evidence! You're good to go, Flayn! ]

[cethflayn]

[Then may Decus reunite with that binch Alice like he so desired, and may they find some reconciliation.]
