SECOND INVESTIGATION

[bathymetric]

It's easy to think, with how much... less this week's motive seems to be than the last, that perhaps nothing will happen. But then again, someone was poisoned yesterday, so perhaps you're already on edge. No one could blame you, in this place. Even on the brightest days, New Rapture is dark.

There's no blood in the elevator, at least, but... your radios are all pretty quiet, this morning.

[ He lays his hand flat on the man's back. Just a moment, just need the right words to hopefully deter his friend here. ]

You know Fontaine will be killing whoever murdered our dear friend either way. If you want to see that man dead and live to tell the tale, then we only need to catch the culprit to have your revenge.

Wouldn't it be more satisfying to see that fellow die an ironic death?

cw suicidal implication? sort of

[He's quiet for a moment. Deep down, he knew it would be the best option. He's sure Obi wouldn't want to see him so soon in the afterlife. He's sure the children wouldn't want to see him strangle the life out of someone.

But...]

I suppose it would be my punishment for not being able to protect those I love.

[giddyundertaker]

[ He sighs and shakes his head. ]

Poor thing... Someone like you, who has been through plenty of torture as it is, does not deserve a fate that cruel. You realize that, don't you?

[hotpaprika]

[There is a pause.]

I suppose... But these days I feel like I Must have been a miserable person in a past life to deserve this fate.

[He feels selfish saying this. There were plenty of other people here being tormented, including children. Who was he to act like he was the only one being tormented here.]

[giddyundertaker]

[ ... He smirks, but from the look in his eyes this smirk is a tired one. ]

What a silly thought that is. What put that in your head?

[ He can think of quite a few things, from what Jonathan had told him. Mostly a certain vampire hailing from Transylvania. ]
