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.

[Oh geez, it looks like someone didn't clean up last night, there sure is a lot of food on the floor of the lobby.]

[theduck]

[Who holds a picnic in a lobby?

Is there anything of note about the food? Any particular kind, or anything noticably off about it? Is it arranged neatly or thrown around?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[They look like foods you would have for a snack, although nothing seems really off about it besides it looks like the food has been dropped.]

[theduck]

[Alright, noted. Anything else visibly off about the lobby?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Well it's less obvious than the food but... is that a blood trail?]

[theduck]

[With his luck, of course it is.

Might as well try and follow it, then— where does this trail happen to lead?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[It goes from the lobby stairs to a potted plant.]

[theduck]

[is the plant the murderer

Actually, is there anything in the plant that would explain the trail? A body part or something? He's just gonna go over and check very, very, very slowly.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Spoilers this whole time this game takes place in the Little Shop of Horrors-universe.

It looks like there's freshly dug up dirt in the plant.]

[theduck]

[Honestly that's even stranger than the body part he was expecting. Is there any indication of what exactly is up with the dirt? No dirt trail on the floor or shovel nearby or anything?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Nope, it does look like something is buried in the dirt, though.]

[theduck]

[Oh boy. Rather than just sticking a hand straight into the dirt and grabbing for it (what if it's a knife), he's just gonna try and shovel some of the dirt away and to the side in order to try and see what it is.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Donald you poor soul.

It looks like a pair of scissors.]

[theduck]

[...good thing he didn't grab for them, then.

Just gonna take those to put in a bag as evidence again. Anything else he'd notice as he goes to leave?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[The scissors are awfully bloody.

And... there's a piece of fabric stuck to the blades.]

[theduck]

[Is the fabric recognizable? Beyond all of the blood, anyways.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[While it's pretty soaked in blood, it seems like it was white at some point.]
