THE SECOND INVESTIGATION

[It's Friday once more. As the third week begins to near it's end, the tensions-and nightmares-among everyone is on the rise. It doesn't help that this is Friday-and Friday is shaping up to be a bad day of the week.

The question is whether this Friday will be any different from the last. Perhaps this Friday will be different. After all, the morning is over, and nothing happened yet!

But then, isn't that strange too? Maybe it would be better to look around. Just in case.]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[It’s a harp.

It’s strings have been ripped away from it.]

Re: EVIDENCE

[necroyalty]

[Well that's a yikes.

Any still lying around? ]

[strangerpeople]

[Nope, and no sign of the strings either.]

[necroyalty]

[Well, ain't that peachy.

That all? ]

[strangerpeople]

[Yes - wait.

No.

Because a flying creature just zoomed through the door and into the room, flying around the harp with great determination.]

Shay!! Shay!!

[inadequacyfeelings]

[Hey, guys, guess who also came running, following said flying creature.

Hi, Ambrosine]

...do you know if Franciscus liked that harp in particular?

[Kind of a shabby harp, given its lack of strings and all]

[notadinosnack]

[Okay, definitely time to deal with that since he does recall seeing that little one with Franciscus. So he'll quietly and carefully attempt to move closer to where it is now and see if it is possible to catch it.]

[strangerpeople]

[It isn't nice to catch the poor thing! Alas, you miss catching it Thanatos as the pokemon jumps through the harp, looking upwards as they continue to cry.]

Shay!!

[notadinosnack]

[Okay, so let's look to where it's looking at and see if that calms it down. What's up there?]

[strangerpeople]

[Where Hydrangea is looking is still upwards. Right to where the holes of where the harp strings used to be.]

Shay Shay!!

[notadinosnack]

[Okay, so let's take a closer look at those holes and see what Hydrangea is looking at.]

[strangerpeople]

[There's nothing visible...

Maybe you should find something to poke in there.]

[notadinosnack]

[Hey it's rude to go poking in strange holes. So what is nearby to even try to poke in, or would it possibly help if there was some light?]

[strangerpeople]

[I can go further but nah The holes are big enough that something like a quill pen can be used up in there.]

[notadinosnack]

[And does there happen to be anything about that size around? If so he'll grab it and reluctantly poke into the strange hole.]

[strangerpeople]

[Yes, there are quill pens around. Do what you need to! And use protection as you go--ok shutting up now]

[notadinosnack]

[Okay, so he'll grab one and poke it in the hole. Please let this not be something one of the stewards uses for fapping. What does he find?]

[necroyalty]

...we never spoke much,after the first day.

[She's studying Thanatos and Shaymin now, a look of curiosity upon her face. ]

And I've yet to uncover where the strings may be.

[inadequacyfeelings]

The strings... [It's not too surprising those are missing, given they're rather thin and light. They could be anywhere] Could there be a reason for the culprit to have taken the strings with them?

[necroyalty]

If they're anything like piano wires, then they're resilient enough to cut a man's head clean off if you really try.

[inadequacyfeelings]

[Zelda goes silent. That's a grim thought, that the strings could be used like that]

I see. You wouldn't have to try too hard if the target is going fast enough...

[At least that's her immediate thought about the matter]

[necroyalty]

...hello?

[the fuck is this]

[strangerpeople]

Shay!! Shay!!

[It's a pokemon of course.]

[necroyalty]

[She extends her hand to touch the creature, but hesitates.]

Do you have something to show me?

[strangerpeople]

[Well...]
