THE SECOND INVESTIGATION
(~SK. 10)


[It is freezing. The temperature? Who knows at this point.

Today is a day for blankets and whatever you can grab to keep yourself warm. It truly seems like there is a winter without end, and that eventually everything will wither and die, including you. So bitter. So harsh. So cruel.

It's not fair. Then again, didn't Zero say life isn't fair? Well, Zero isn't freezing his butt off. Really, it's just too cold on the ship to do much of anything outside of keeping warm. Like, say, murder.



Right? Well. There's only one way to find out. So, what are the Strangers doing as they wake up shivering on this cold, cold day, which may or may not be a Friday according to the calendar?]

Re: EVIDENCE

[pegasinister]

[Ohoho, yes he will]

[strangerpeople]

KAITO IS THE FABRICATOR

[...There is something more though, when he looks further.

>Squint?]

[pegasinister]

[He stares at the words then... snorts. Like, seriously?

...okay it's not IMPOSSIBLE, but he's almost insulted- he liked Kaito, but he can't see him as smart enough to keep a secret like that for 24 hours, let alone 3 weeks.

So let's look at that second thing]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[It looks like someone erased something and replaced it with KAITO. It's impossible to say what had been there before.]

[pegasinister]

[... oh really? He folds the paper back up and tucks it into his pocket. He has an Idea for that. But that's for after he's done here.

Let's continue our investigation, shall we?]

[strangerpeople]

[Yes, let's!

Where do you wish to go now in this here casino?]

[pegasinister]

[Let's check some of the unspecified Mess]

[strangerpeople]

[Well, for starters, he'll notice something with some of the slot machines nearby.]

[pegasinister]

[He heads that way, avoiding the splatters as best he can]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[All righty!

First off, two of the slot machine screens are clearly broken.]

[pegasinister]

[Just the screens?]

[strangerpeople]

[Well, yes, but as he comes closer he'll notice something else...interesting.]

[pegasinister]

[ANOTHER BODY!

...hopefully not]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[OH GOD IT'S ANOTHER BO-oh wait, no, it's just small tubes inside the payout trays of three of the slot machines.]

[pegasinister]

[DRUGS???

...okay probs not but that's his first impulse. He goes to pick them up]

[strangerpeople]

[They are small-ish tubes and....hm.

They say FOOD COLORING on them.]

[pegasinister]

Well... that may explain some things.

[Let me guess, the insides are Pink?]

[strangerpeople]

[Looks like it!]

[pegasinister]

[In a pocket they go! Anything else of interest about the machines other than being smashed?]

[strangerpeople]

[Nothing. Time to move onto something else?]

[pegasinister]

[Indeed! Let's give the room a scan]

[strangerpeople]

[Ok! There's plenty more evidence to be had.

Like at the card tables!]

[pegasinister]

[Yeeeess, more potential destruction of gaming equipment. He appreciates you mysterious culprit and/or fabricator.

anyways, let's go investigate. Maybe it's another note!]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[Well, looks like someone was playing a card game at one of those tables.]

[pegasinister]

[Oh. Boo.

He peeks at the cards to try and guess the game]
