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?

[Between Nira and Jewel he stops trying to attack Della or charge down the hall. But he's still clearly angry. But with her knowledge of Pokemon Nira can probably tell he also seems confused.

There's a real chance that he doesn't realize Piers is dead.]

Grrrooon...

[Oh...oh no. Nira reaches out to gently hug Obstagoon.] Slade, Piers-Piers is-he's gone. [She buries her face into his fur, letting the tears trickle where they won't be seen.] Rhea and I found him in the chapel...you-you can come see him, if you don't attack anyone there. We-we're going to find who did this, so we have to look closely at everything...

[He allows it, and honestly it's like holding a trembling puppy during a thunderstorm]

[ladygeryon]

[Yeah, Nira's going to stroke his fur and hold him tightly through this. After a bit, Jewel moves in to join the hug, and even Aria winds herself around their legs slightly so she can give Slade some comfort.]

we'll find them...whoever did this...I promise...
