SECOND INVESTIGATION

[bathymetric]

Your third Friday in the facility dawns like the last two, where you've historically had a 50-50 shot at not, you know, having someone be murdered somewhere. Needless to say, the atmosphere is probably tense. You've already lost someone, but... is that enough? There's a whole chest of maybe literal pirate gold at stake, here, and for all of you who have derided the motive there's no doubting that money isn't exactly something that nobody out there kills for, right?

The lights of the facility click on to signal the end of nighttime, and one by one you start to wake. Things seem pretty normal as you all leave your rooms, but... didn't you feel this way last week, too?

[Time to go to the chapel for some quick morning prayers. Hope she doesn't find a body this time.]

[ladygeryon]

[Yeah, Nira's heading in that direction as well. Both Aria and Jewel are with her, Aria walking beside and Jewel following behind.]

[bathymetric]

[ well ABOUT THAT, RHEA.....

It looks like someone managed to beat you to morning prayers! Lying on the ground is a new one, though, must be a religion you're not familiar with. ]

[nothingcanstop]

[ Good morning, it's workshop time. Sometimes you need to have a project to keep your spirit up, or something. ]

[bathymetric]

[ The workshop seems clear enough of dead bodies! Enjoy your woodworking, Della. ]

[bogwife]

[Hmmmm...concern.

Zerinda slips out of Alice's room right around the time the lights come back on, Princess cozy in her bag, and makes her way to the chapel. She thinks she may have left a spool of thread in there last night. Hopefully that's all she finds?]

[bathymetric]

[ hahaha well You See ]

[emberserker]

[What a morning. Anna's off to the art room, let's see what happened in there.

[bathymetric]

[ Mostly art, it seems! Go make some, things are surely totally fine. ]

[bolderfell]

[Therion exits his room, then turns to stare at the door after it closes behind him. Why is there... fabric affixed to it? He frowns at the bowtie Alice made, looks to see if other doors have the same thing on them, and then takes it and the note to the dining area.]

[bathymetric]

[ The dining area is body-free! You can totally relax, Therion. ]

[bathymetric]

[ Before too long, the speakers activate, and The Professor speaks up. Just the voice you want to hear right now, I'm sure. ]

Well, it seems someone couldn't resist the allure of the motive. Skunk Man is dead and one of you is to blame. You will now be permitted time to search for clues in the facility.

I'll call you for the trial when the time comes. Until then... have fun trying to sniff out the killer, I suppose.

[snackooed]

I know that's his title, but you don't think that's a little offensive?

CHAPEL

[bathymetric]

[ the professor TRIES to give you ONE calming room and what do you do with it? ]

[archboxer]

[Sorry, Ema, this is in her room and she's over the body and not moving. Time to look at the body... Does he appear to have any apparent wounds?]

[ladygeryon]

[Nira's gonna stick by the body for one moment. Is Obstagoon's Pokeball anywhere on Piers' body?]

[bogwife]

[Ema and Rhea seem to have Piers' body handled so Zerinda can take this investigation time to look around the rest of the chapel. Is anything immediately noticeable as out of place?]

AREA CLEAR

[bathymetric]

LIBRARY

[bathymetric]

[ guess this room doesn't get a break from murder either ]

[philoxenia]

[ thanks she hates it.

anything immediately noticeable here? ]

[baitless]

[Goddess, just when he’d been reunited with his weird badger!

Well... time to give the library a look...]

[bolderfell]

[There are actual women in the women's restroom, so like. Maybe not today, bathroom man. Gods, he just wants to eat his breakfast in peace and then maybe investigate a murder.

Except Mira's here. Seteth, too. He stops, then sighs to himself and comes to look, too.]

AREA A WOMEN'S RESTROOM

[bathymetric]

[ what if every case has a toilet knife could you imagine ]

[lovelikeyou]

[Rose, unfortunately, has settled upon the restroom as something of a private place to hide and cry and then maybe wash her face afterwards! She's gotta quit picking stuff up from humans, honestly.

Anyway, is there anything off when she walks in?]

VENDING MACHINE ROOM

[bathymetric]

[ no! not the most sacred place in here!! ]

[nothingcanstop]

[ We're going two for two on NOT investigating the body room, thank you very much.

What has someone done to this pure shrine. ]
