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.

[ WHY INDEED.

It's not taped, just covering it. Looks like someone discarded this knife, probably after its edges got bent and damaged for some reason, and dropped one of the fake rocks on it! ]

[Okay good, that's better than anything I was imagining. Maybe they thought Rossiu wouldn't stare intensely at rocks to avoid looking at poor Dandy's body. But too bad, here we are anyway.

Is this a vending machine knife? Does it have any blood on it or is he free to pick it up?]

[bathymetric]

[ It is a vending machine knife! It has no blood, and he's free to pick it up. ]

[onemillion]

[Excellent! Now then, it's bent and damaged - in what way? Does it look like it's the tip, like someone went in for a stab only to hit something very hard? Or is it the blade like they did the same thing with a slash? Or are we looking at something else entirely here?]

[bathymetric]

[ The closest approximation is comparing it to a stab...but that's not quite right. It's worn down pretty consistently on its edges, mostly at the tip, but also on the sides. It looks like someone was pushing this knife into a hard object it couldn't cut but just kept on going. ]

[Hmm! That's interesting... Someone probably found something relevant so we can figure out what this is later!!

Anything else to note about the knife? Is that the only damage it suffered and it's bent as a result of that?]

[bathymetric]

[ Nothing else here! And nothing else around the entrance in general. ]

[Excellent, he'll leave the rest to the JRPG trio who will undoubtedly handle it better than he can!!!!]
