THE SECOND INVESTIGATION

[The morning starts as...most mornings do. Quiet, calm. In space. Next to a jail.

That, however, changes when screams start to emanate from the entrance.]

RUN RUUUUN!!

AAAAAAAH!!

[Soon enough, droves of people are streaming out of the jail, panicking and screaming and in some cases fainting. They start jamming towards the station in a near-stampede, screeching.]

LOOSE! THEY'RE LOOSE!!

THE ANIMALS HAVE ESCAPED THE PEN!!

[...Oh dear.

Help?]

[ Anyway time to look for anyone nearby. ]

[eternaldivide]

[ oh hello mcburn how are you guess who just decided to arrive to the commotion. Why is he late who knows. ]

?

[otherworldlyking]

...Someone is dead in there.

[ Gestures to the computer room. ]

It's the boy with the white hair.

[eternaldivide]

[ boy with white hair... oh no. ]

Can you.. show me? Or just point me in the direction so you can tell everyone else.

[ he seems oddly calm about this, but maybe he's just trying hard not to show how much that information hurts. Maybe. ]%/small>

[otherworldlyking]

[ He'll make a "come here" gesture and lead Mithos inside... ]

[eternaldivide]

[ mithos follows mcburn. When he sees the body his eyes widen, but then he bows his head. ]

... I'll stay here with the body if you want to go find everyone else.

[otherworldlyking]

[ He'll yawn, but he did notice that expression. ]

Might as well.

[ He'll head off looking to tell someone/everyone else about the body. ]

[charmingheroine]

[Well, someone's gone and found him, at least.]

What's... that scream, it came from over here, right?

[otherworldlyking]

Yeah it did. The boy with the white hair's dead in the computer room.

[ Gestures with a thumb towards said area. ]

[dragonmouth]

...I'm sorry, what?!

[otherworldlyking]

[ ... ]

He's dead.

[ Just going to repeat himself, kind of. ]

[charmingheroine]

Damn it all - well, you didn't scream like that and he's dead, who else is there?!

[otherworldlyking]

An unconscious lady and Mithos is there right with her.

[ Because of course. ]

[charmingheroine]

Right. I'm going to see if I can bring her round, if she saw anything besides the body... thank you.
