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?

[ Just a little bit on the one string that snapped, yep! There's no real way to tell exactly how it snapped per se, but...

The other notable thing is the noticeable crack in the body of the guitar, while we're on the subject of Question 3. ]

[ .....

She'll turn to the others, holding out the guitar. She's still looking at it closely. ]

... What do you think of this crack?

[ Because she's assuming it got there from self-defense. ]

[emberserker]

What I think is it's another case of trying to fend off the attacker with the nearest object. It must have done some damage to the culprit.

[bolderfell]

...Try plucking the the strings that are still there. If they were struck in the same blow that caused that, they might sound badly out of tune.

[philoxenia]

... Alright.

[ And she'll do just that. How's it sound, mods? ]

[bathymetric]

[ oh the poor thing is definitely not in-tune ]

[philoxenia]

[ COOL GREAT ]

... you're right, Therion.

[ She's not upset about that but rather. Literally everything that's happening. ]

[baitless]

That settles it, I suppose.

[SIGH..... THIS FUCKIN SUCKS......]

[philoxenia]

[ DON'T IT JUST ]

... Can I give the guitar to one of you to take? I think Ema might need me to, um... take photos again.

[baitless]

Certainly. I'll take it for you, so do what you must.

[after all, he's got pretty high ranks in axes.]

[philoxenia]

Thank you, Seteth.

[ And she'll hand it over before leaving!! ]
