THE FIRST INVESTIGATION
(~SK. 3)

[Morning comes.


It's quiet on the HMHS Gigantic. No birds sing, no sun shines, and everyone's still stuck with the threat of death. Even if the threat of death involves a ticket to a theme park. And a cheeseburger. Indeed, people went to bed last night confident in their belief that no one would ever kill for something so paltry.

Seriously, a cheeseburger. It's something people can make in ten minutes.

Anyways, it's time to wake up, and go through the motions of the day as usual.

So, Strangers.

What are you doing this fine day?]

[She can barely look at the body. She wants to scream. She wants to throw up. But they don't even know who this is yet (the head is missing and she wants to scream again) so she forces herself to look through the blood for the watch.]

[strangerpeople]

[Well, good news, the watch is there!


The bad news is that it’s attached to a severed arm.]

[exequte]

[why is she the one encountering all the body parts.

She lets out a little sob but still is going to reach out to find out if it comes off now and also see if the display is working, and what is on it if so.]

[valkavian]

Yeah, mind if I have that arm once you're done with it?

[exequte]

[She looks over, violet eyes still so full of tears that she can hardly see her as anything but a wet blur.]

We should... we should leave it where it is, shouldn't we? Until someone has looked at it?

[valkavian]

Ugh, fine, you're right. Can't believe we gotta play detective here.

[exequte]

I can't believe someone really did it.

[valkavian]

You think they were desperate to leave for normal reasons, or did someone REALLY want that cheeseburger?

[exequte]

It wouldn't be enough to leave, though. Even h-having done this it wouldnt be enough. S-so... why??

[valkavian]

Shit, maybe someone really did risk it all for a big Mac.

[strangerpeople]

[The watch is still intact, and it comes off with ease.

There is nothing but yellow.]
