FIFTH INVESTIGATION

[bathymetric]

Morning dawns on Friday with the same sense of horribly mundane not-quite-dread it must by now, everything normal as you wake to leave your rooms and yet... well, the weeks haven't been kind to this usual favorite of days, have they? It's been over a month now since your last normal Friday.

But maybe this one will be different. Maybe you'll all find that despite everything, you've all finally made it to the end of one of The Professor's motives. You've outlasted him, and can see what happens when you all do so.

Or maybe not. Only one way to find out.

[ Rin will check for anything of note regarding the hat once she has sorted through the rest of that clump, then! ]

[bathymetric]

[ Alright, so! First up, we have a teapot and two teacups set out! One of them is still full. ]

[mouflon]

[ So... Say Rin takes the lid off the teapot. Anything else in there? How much tea is left overall? ]

[bathymetric]

[ Not much left, but the leaves are here! We got chamomile, mostly, but we also got uh... other stuff. ]

[mouflon]

[ Cool! Rin's going to go find a bowl or something to dump the remains into so she can sift through them! ]

[bathymetric]

[ Alright! So there's some general uh. Plant Debris in here, which is gross, but there's at least one identifiable thing! ]

[mouflon]

[ What have we got? ]

[bathymetric]

[ Some distinctive purple flowers. ]

[mouflon]

[ Mmmm. Rin... doesn't know a lot about botany, so she'll probably just take this whole mess to the trial.

Anything else around before we get to the hat? ]

[bathymetric]

[ Looks like the knife block has been disturbed - it's been moved next to the teapot. ]

[mouflon]

[ Anything missing from it, or otherwise noticeably off? ]

[bathymetric]

[ Yup! The carving knife is missing!

Just the hat to note now. ]

[mouflon]

[ Cool, so where is Sly's hat relative to his body (and, like, the rest of the kitchen, I guess)? ]

[bathymetric]

[ Sly's hat is on the ground over here by the tea! That's almost entirely the opposite side of the room from his body.

And on that note, you're done in here! Good job! ]
