SIXTH INVESTIGATION

[bathymetric]

It's Friday again, never a sign of great things in this place. There's a foreboding sense of... something in the air, though you have no idea what it could realistically be. There's nothing immediately off as you leave your rooms, but... it's of note that you do still have your powers. So maybe nothing bad happened after all! Look how small your number is, have you finally gone a week without killing just through the elimination of sheer volume alone? It's easy to hope so! And easy to think so, given the whole of Area A is clear.

So why won't that sinking feeling go away?

[This was a good week. Why does he still feel like this? Is it just a pattern thing?

Hoping to prove the pattern wrong, Therion makes his way towards the bowling alley. There's always a body in the new area, right? So if there isn't, then they're good. Right?]

[bathymetric]

[ The bowling alley is clear!

You're totally good, bud. ]

[nothingcanstop]

[ Della, who has no powers to begin with, has already started wondering if something's gone wrong and begins to look through Area E. Not like, meticulously? But...walk through, pop her head into a room, things like that. ]

[bathymetric]

[ Area E is clear! Not a thing out of place. ]

[philoxenia]

[ Surely this is a good sign! As she heads to the kitchen what, as the kids say, is the vibe? Since her powers are still turned the hell on! ]

[bathymetric]

[ All's right in here! Say hi to Della if you like! ]

[mouflon]

[ Rin is going to head back up to over to the laboratory. ]

[bathymetric]

[ All clear! Just, you know. Still a little creepy, but that's no indication of murder. ]

[bogwife]

[Ah, hm...maybe something bad didn't happen last night/early this morning. Still, Zerinda is going to make her way to check on area D, just to be safe.]

[bathymetric]

[ Oh boy. Oh dear.

Something terrible happened here.

There's a lot that's wrong in nearly every room, beyond even the scope of other murders.

Maybe that person lying on the floor of the museum can help? ]

[bathymetric]

[ There's a bright flash throughout the whole facility, and your powers are sealed again. ]

How exciting. I suppose given how few of you there are, I won't make you wait - Hotshot is dead. One of you is responsible. Go find some clues.
