Second Investigation

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Well even without the murder, a lot sure has happened this week, with Walt appearing in people's dreams and your host claiming that he's dangerous. Still, Walt seems like a very nice, and is trying his hardest to get the guests out of the hotel safely. He has also requested that everyone try to stay alive while he forms a plan, so he would be incredibly disappointed if someone ended up killing this week.

But when morning comes this Friday, the 225 door is mysteriously wide open, like someone wanted to use the new rooms.

[He was waiting for that--and hoping that it was evidence or something and not a body. It's definitely heavier than Chip, and that fishing line isn't very sturdy, so once it gets out enough for him to grab some cloth, he's going to pull on that instead.]

...Ohh no...I was hoping it wasn't a body...Oh god...

[He has to do it with one arm, holding on to the diving board so he doesn't fall in himself.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[To both of them, the first thing either of them would notice is the size of the body, about the size of a human child. His eyes are gently closed and if he wasn't blue in the face, one could just assume that he just fell asleep.

Dipper is dead.]

[Chip...had been hoping that he'd been seeing things wrong, underwater. And that it couldn't be. He'd just been talking with the boy, comparing notes, but now, pulled out, holding on to his still form...

The chipmunk starts to tremble. Shake his head.] No, no, you can't, you're just a-

[Just a kid.

Someone who needed rescuing.

Chip abruptly lets out a wail and collapses, beating his paws on Dipper's form]

This isn't fair! This isn't fair!

[tadaishi]

[Just to confirm, Tadashi's checking for a pulse after he lays Dipper down on the floor. There isn't one, and he's quiet for a few moments. Dipper was supposed to get out with everyone else, not drown in the pool three weeks in.]

I-I'm sorry Chip...

[He's not crying yet, but he looks like he might.]

[nocasetoobig]

It's not fair. It's- he was just a kid, his Uncle'd been here, he has a sister, he was- he was-

[tadaishi]

It's not fair at all. I wish I'd been here to stop whoever did this.

[Pines...Stanford Pines, he know another Pines, but he was in the mansion. That shared name probably wasn't a coincidence.]

His uncle? Stanford?

[nocasetoobig]

I don't- maybe? I just-

[He's not thinking straight right now, Tadashi. Just gonna hold himself and try to pull himself together, but he's not doing too well]

[tadaishi]

[It's okay, he'll leave you alone for a bit.]

[Hey guys, how's it - oh ok.]

Oh no.
