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?

[She closes her eyes.]

I am sorry... he is with the Goddess, now.

[ladygeryon]

...he had his own gods. He'd been thinking about starting to actually pray to them, just...just last night...

[Nira sounds like she's on the verge of breaking down, here. She really doesn't want to get into a theological argument over Piers' corpse, but also she can't just let that pass without comment.]

[archboxer]

I do realize that, Nira.

[But you know. She's the pope. It's kind of a reflex. She can't just... start praying to other gods, you know. She's not going to argue.]

[ladygeryon]

...yeah. [She just looks down at the body again. Swords, she's going to have to explain this to Obstagoon, isn't she?]
