Fourth Investigation

[bathymetric]

It's hard to tell that - of if - the motive has passed. The radios are the same, there are no missing powers, the day begins like any other. But there's something heavy hanging over you, the knowledge that, well... it's Friday. And unpleasant things happen in New Rapture on Fridays.

While we would love to say it's remotely quiet and peaceful, we can't. Helios Suites and the grounds around them are body-free, at least, but... there's a series of booming noises coming from somewhere else in New Rapture, echoing through the empty halls.

Looks like the game is afoot, citizens.

[ Yeah, with the amount of ash and soot... It looks like someone probably burned an outfit? You can tell an accelerant was definitely used, given the smell of gasoline and, well.

The empty gas cannisters nearby. ]

[Well, that'll do it...

Brett rises and goes to check those out, glancing around on his way. He investigated in here earlier this week, so does it seem like anything else has been notably moved since then?]

[bathymetric]

[ Well. All the fireworks are gone, but we probably know where those are, huh?

Instead, something's been added, two little somethings along the wall! They're both close to where the fire was, but just out of the way enough. ]

[inaclearing]

[Well, sure, he expected that one. Maybe he should've just confiscated them all...

Anyway. What's this along the wall?]

[bathymetric]

[ First, the bigger item, which is a non-descript backpack, probably from the department store. It's empty, and slightly burned. ]

[inaclearing]

[Oh, a handy dandy Evidence Sack to carry all your other evidence in! Does it look like it maybe just got some blowback from the big fire, by the angle, or more like it was set on fire itself?]

[bathymetric]

[ More blowback from the angle. This innocent backpack was doing nothing wrong, probably. ]

[inaclearing]

[Ah, well, he'll take it with, then. What's the other thing we've got?]

[bathymetric]

[ It's a matchbox! Probably one from the department store as well. It's been used. ]
