Second Investigation

[grimgrinningghosts]

[You wake up and almost instantly notice that the thumping has stopped. Maybe a wave of relief washes over you or maybe you’re confused, but one thing seems immediately clear, it doesn’t seem like the monster is here anymore.

The problem is that something also feels deeply wrong when you wake up. Sure, nothing is wrong with the bedroom you’re currently residing in, but as soon as you leave the comfort of your bedroom it should be abundantly clear that something happened last night.

[Nothing immediately noticeable from the entrance but that doesn't mean that there's no clues inside the bathroom!]

[Okay he's gonna just, walk in and try and brace himself against the sink. Is the anything on the walls or the floor?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Nothing on the walls and floor!

... However, there is something in the sink Louis is bracing himself on.]

[bayoublues]

[oh. oh dear. Louis carefully peers into the sink. Please don't be blood. Or a murder weapon. Or, well, really anything....]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[... Louis I'm sorry.

There seems to be some blood in the sink.]

[bayoublues]

[hahahahahahahahaha this is fine!!!!!!! this is. fine.

does it look like it's been pooling in there or is it, like...residue from someone trying to wash it away]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[It's like residue as if someone was trying to wash it away.]

[holdthetrumpet]

[Hey buddy what's happening in this -- oh. Oh come on, he came up here to be NOT around all the blood.]

Oh. Ohhh, no.

[bayoublues]

[no escape from the blood!]

H-Hi Kit! Um. I--

[His words catch in his throat and he just gives Kit a very panicked look. This is fine.]

[holdthetrumpet]

[MMM BOI LOOKS LIKE THIS IS JUST HIS LIFE NOW]

It's... okay. It's okay.

[It is super not.]

I'll help.

[bayoublues]

[He tries to smile gratefully at Kit but his expression just ends up looking extremely pained.

Yeah. This is okay.]

[bayoublues]

[Well at least that's better than just a puddle of blood.

Better check other stuff just in case there's anything important. Anything in the toilet, or maybe a secret message in the mirror?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[No secret message, but there are some recently used paper towels in the trash it seems.]

[holdthetrumpet]

[Well okay, that tracks. Gotta dry your hands after you wash them. When you're washing off blood. Mmmmm boi.]

So whoever did this came all the way up here... [Instead of using their own sink. Which would be a much more stupid choice, admittedly.]
