FOURTH INVESTIGATION

[bathymetric]

It's certainly been another interesting week here at the bottom of the ocean. You met what may or may not have been a ghost, you made some discoveries, but mostly you all kept yourselves busy against the crushing... well, pressure of your situation. The motive again seems to have hit a few of you, and it might not be too hard at all to think that this week isn't going to be any different than the last. But you've all been keeping yourselves busy against the looming Friday, and, well...

It's time to see if that paid off, or if what they say about idle hands is true, I suppose.

[ No, okay. Focus. Stop. She's seen... Well, this comes pretty close to worst but Ema, Ema told her people depend on her. Ema depended on her. Ema would want her to help.

Della centers herself. What looks out of place here? ]

[bathymetric]

[ Well, if you want it straight, uh...

There's a decent-sized blood splatter on the wall. That's not usually here. ]

[nothingcanstop]

[ at least blood's better than straight up gore right. RIGHT???

Christ. How decent-sized are we talking here? Like...it's not Della-sized, right? Because after all this, we have to ASK, okay. ]

[bathymetric]

[ Nah, not that much. But definitely a very unhappy amount for the owner of said blood. ]

Della? [Nira's voice is soft.] There's something missing from a case in the cartography room. Something very small. Do you know what it might be? [She's not gonna ask Della to come back in unless it's necessary.]

[nothingcanstop]

Small? I...spent more time looking at the maps, but... Maybe some kind of compass? [ She winces for a moment. ] Sorry, Nira, I can't think of it, exactly.

[ladygeryon]

It's alright. I've got some idea of what to look for now, at least.
