THE SECOND INVESTIGATION

[Friday morning starts off normal as can be. Or, at least as normal as it can be for a place like this. Especially with the threat, such as it is, of Marie's offer over everyone's head. Surely, though, no one would fall for it. That's what everyone is no doubt convincing themselves of. Unfortunately, the peace of mind is all-too-brief. A loud, piercing, pained scream suddenly echoes through the base - a scream that seems to originate from the onsen.

Whoever is making the noise is in danger. Will - can - anyone get to them in time to save them?]

[ That doesn't narrow it down at all. But now he's going to look at where the missing TV was after putting his test TV back. Anything to it, or to the TV at all besides that it's fried? ]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[It's been tampered with. Whoever did this had stripped cables around the television's base, to increase potential electrical conductivity.

...The messing around's also a probable reason why it ultimately fell off the wall, too. So there's that.]

[vividsins]

[ That narrows it the fuck down to people who knew how to do that safely. Narrowing eyes. Anything else about this? ]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[There's a longer piece of stripped wire that's in the water, that leads to the television.]

[vividsins]

[ Wait is this a splice job. Or did someone rip out a cord.

Like is this an extra stripped wire attached to aformentioned stripped wire he already saw or did someone manage to rip part of the cord away??? ]

[strangerpeople]

[It's the former.]

[vividsins]

[ So basically someone really wanted to electrify the damn water, huh? ]

[strangerpeople]

[Pretty much.]

[vividsins]

[ This is definitely a Des case that is some serious overkill.

So uh, anything else? Or can Ana go rest her poor, sick head? ]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[There is one more thing - a scalpel in the water.]

[vividsins]

[ Yoink. Taking that. He's guessing this was used to strip the wires. ]
