Third Investigation

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Two people have already died this week, but no matter how you look at it, the requirements for The Narrator to call off the motive still haven’t been met yet. And with a motive that affects so many, it’s hard to believe that no one else will die this week.

At least, when everyone wakes up today, they’ll find that there’s absolutely nothing off with the second floor.

Investigate anyway?]

[Oh hey, there's a note in her pocket too!]

[anasty]

[ Good thing Ursula's literate, unlike most of her sea-dwelling peers.

What does the note say? ]

[grimgrinningghosts]

To a Keeper:
The tower dropped when I returned
and I have failed you all.
You’ll need the pen to overturn
and right the wrongs of my fall.

[... Well I guess Amanda decided to be extra about this.]

[anasty]

[ A riddle? Ugh.

Ursula has ink, but no pen. She checks Amanda's pockets again. Is there a pen? A pen in this room? ]

Now with the right account

[grimgrinningghosts]

[There are no pens in this room, it seems.]

[anasty]

[ Maybe it's somewhere else - Amanda's room seems like a good bet. Ursula tucks the note into her top for now ( ew ) and eases herself down onto the floor.

She'd expect a little more smell of char if Amanda had been burned, but Ursula moves to check the body's legs anyway. ]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Minus the oil, there's nothing off about her legs!]

[anasty]

[ Well she got wet from the tub somehow. Now that she's out of it, Ursula can peer over the edge into the water. Anything inside the hot tub? ]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Not inside the on Ursula's in, but the water of a nearby tub sure is pink.]

[anasty]

[ Almost as if someone stuck their nasty blood-coated sleeves in there. If Ursula has to stick a tentacle in to search the water, she will, but she does her best to squint through it first to see if there's anything extra in there. ]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Nothing extra in the pink water! But it looks like some also spilled onto the floor.]
