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?

.....okay. Of course.

[she has no idea what Princess is but Rose is basically always down with animals anyway.

also just pretend she did this and investigated the bathrooms simultaneously shhhhhh]

[sshhhh time is an illusion

Zerinda reaches into her shoulder bag and pulls out Princess.] Like I said, she's very sweet and very well-behaved. She just needs a babysitter so she doesn't go wandering off.

Oh - ! She's so cute!

[well it's more true than when she called the giant leech cute

Rose will reach out to take Princess. Sounds like this is a friend she can easily hold in her massive hands.]

I'll take good care of her.

Isn't she? [Princess is about the size and weight of a large rabbit and makes a perplexed little squealing noise when Rose takes her but settles down when Zerinda gives her a little kiss between her ears.]

Thank you, Rose, I appreciate it. [She lays her hand on Rose's arm to give her a reassuring little squeeze before sweeping off to poke at a dead body.]
