Sixth Investigation

[bathymetric]

Another Friday. The air is strangely cold as you wake, potentially wondering if this week will follow the trend of the last two. How can you afford to keep bleeding people like this? Surely this isn't sustainable. One way or another, some kind of reckoning has to be coming.

But before that reckoning, there's one more time you need to go back into the breach. You hope not, but... it was one hell of a motive this week, after all. Up and at 'em, gang. Helios Suites is body-free, so you can grab a breakfast or something before heading out, but... for one last time, there's something out there for you to find.

[So if Brett, following his fainting spell, stumbles in here to puke, is that gonna ruin anything?

I mean, he’s doing it, but he can pick a different stall.]

[bathymetric]

[ The stalls are clear! You can find evidence at the sink when you clean up after. ]

[inaclearing]

[Bless.

Anyway, once business has been dealt with, he goes to clean up at the sink! What's the haps?]

[bathymetric]

[ There are some light, faded bloodstains in the sink. Consistent with someone washing off blood! ]

[inaclearing]

[Well, he can handle that much, at least...

Looking around, are there other traces of blood in here? Like maybe on the floor?]

[bathymetric]

[ Not particularly, surprisingly? But there do seem to be multiple separate sets of bloodstains in the sink. Like someone washed off more than once. ]

[inaclearing]

[Weird...

And there wasn't even blood on the door or anything? He doesn’t remember seeing that when he came in, but he was upset and not registering a lot, so he'll check again.]

[bathymetric]

[ Seems like maybe someone was really careful with the blood? But there are some drips around actually because uh. There's a not very gently used vending machine mace in here near that door. ]

[inaclearing]

[JESUS, OKAY

Brett doesn't really want to inspect this super closely, does he have to...]

cw brain matter mention

[bathymetric]

[ Not really! It has not been washed, so it is super fuckin bloody and covered in some Head Bits, and it has been set down, rather than like. Tossed. ]

[inaclearing]

[GREAT COOL THANKS he will now be looking ANYWHERE BUT AT THAT







god is he obligated to take that with him now]

[specialyellthing]

[good news, or bad news?

zinda's up and here. she looks at brett. then looks at the mace. then looks at brett.]

[inaclearing]

Uh.

[.........]

Y-yeah.

[specialyellthing]

[good news: he doesnt have to take it!


bad news: zinda picks it up.]

[inaclearing]

You -

[Well. He hates that for her, but he doesn’t really think he can talk her down? Still...]

You don’t have to do that.

[specialyellthing]

I know. [Her voice is steel.]

[inaclearing]

.....okay.
