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.

[cool cool cool cool --

well aiba's got the weird scanning thing going on, so she's not too worried about (...investigation wise, personally wise, she's extremely worried but that part of her is packed neatly away right now) the wounds themselves on the body--

Anything else to notice about the body itself, or anything immediately around the body? How about the rope tying him up, do the knots look professionally done, or-- ]

[bathymetric]

[ They sure do look professionally done!

As for things around the body... Well, it's a little ways away, but there's something on the ground that looks like it doesn't belong in the dark ride. ]

[can't hate the implications of that if you don't think about them!

She goes to look at it.]

[bathymetric]

[ It's...a box? It's small, small enough so that it can fit in her hand- or, like, the hand of a full grown man, so maybe a little bigger than Zinda's. It also, contrary to the picture, has no red glowing marks. It does, however, have a lot of punctures, as if from a sharp object. ]

[specialyellthing]

[if it was glowing she might have had some self restraint but it doesn't so here she goes: does it open?]

[bathymetric]

[ It surely doesn't! It's just a mass of...something.

Something that's ridiculously heavy? Like, you can pick it up fine, but it's much heavier than it looks. ]
