THE FOURTH INVESTIGATION

THE FOURTH INVESTIGATION
(~SK. 24)




[Morning, Strangers! There's no sun shining, there're no birds singing, the threat of memory loss hangs in the air, and--oh.




That sure is a trail of blood in the D Deck hallway where the bedrooms are. But. I'm sure it's nothing, right?








Right??????!!?]

[Hey Ritsu's here too, sorta, between the tea room and chapel. Looks like she went splat on the floor with those papers she was working with last night.

She is not moving.]
somuchshipping: (Yelling)

[personal profile] somuchshipping 2023-07-14 05:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hermes rushes up to Ritsu in an aggressive manner.]

YOU GET AWAY FROM HER!

[Okay, now that the honey badger's likely scared off, if it IS in the room, Hermes will shake Ritsu up.]
autonomousthought: (But those memories are fading away)

[personal profile] autonomousthought 2023-07-14 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[She is somehow colder than usual.










And slow to stir. But her eyes do open. Slowly.]
somuchshipping: (Worried)

[personal profile] somuchshipping 2023-07-14 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[...Okay, that's actually a little concerning.]

Ritsu...? Ritsu? AreOkayOkay? PleaseTellMeYou'reOkay!

[Hermes scratches at one of his front legs.]

autonomousthought: (So why is it I no longer feel anything?)

[personal profile] autonomousthought 2023-07-14 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)















...mmmn...

[Well. She's not dead.]
somuchshipping: (Um)

[personal profile] somuchshipping 2023-07-14 05:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[...Not good. Is Ritsu bleeding? Hermes antsily jogs in place, checking to see if there's any wounds on her.]
autonomousthought: (But those memories are fading away)

[personal profile] autonomousthought 2023-07-14 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well...she is injured, and heavily, but nothing looks fresh and She's been in bad shape for a while. The blanket-cloak she's been keeping bundled in shows no sign of an attack, badgeror otherwise, but is slightly singed.]





...Wha....t...?
somuchshipping: (Wat)

[personal profile] somuchshipping 2023-07-14 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hmmm, nothing fresh? That's... that's okay. Hermes rewrapps Ritsu in the cloak to make her a not!corpse burrito.]

Stay with me, Ritsu! Do you know who I am? I tried giving you cake during the first trial!

[Hermes attempts to carefully pick Ritsu up off of the ground.]
autonomousthought: (So soon even my memories will disappear)

[personal profile] autonomousthought 2023-07-14 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Nothing fresh. She is now a zomburrito! Hermes is plenty strong, he should have no trouble lifting her.]

...Her... Hermes.
somuchshipping: (Playful)

[personal profile] somuchshipping 2023-07-14 05:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hermes nods. As soon as she gets picked up, Hermes begins making his way over to the bio-lab.]

Yeah! It's me. Listen, I'm taking you to the bio lab so I can run some scans on you. IsThatOkay?
autonomousthought: (I don't want to see your sad face)

...wai... What...day is...?
somuchshipping: (Frown)

[personal profile] somuchshipping 2023-07-14 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
It's Friday. We just have to get through today and tomorrow and then everything will be okay.

You'll be okay. I'll be okay.

We'll all be okay.

Okay?
autonomousthought: (The illusion of a bright future)

[personal profile] autonomousthought 2023-07-14 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
...we...remember. So someone is...

[She's pretty sure, anyway. It's always been an overnight occurrence before. Damn it all.]

....go investigate. I'll...stay put. Okay...?
somuchshipping: (Exhasperated)

[personal profile] somuchshipping 2023-07-14 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hermes nearly trips as he's walking and blinks.]

H- huh? WhatDoYouMean?
autonomousthought: (But those memories are fading away)

[personal profile] autonomousthought 2023-07-14 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)
...we always...woke upto it before. I...calculate...80% likelihood, someone is...dead again...

[But then, if Hermes doesn't know anything...maybe they do have until the end of the day, before time runs out. Still. Someone went for the burger. They can't assume no one will go for this.]

Or...will be? I'm not, so....can you go look?
somuchshipping: (Playful)

[personal profile] somuchshipping 2023-07-14 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[Due to Hermes's swiftness, they reach the bio lab quickly. Hermes sets Ritsu on the single scanning bed then will attempt to queue up a whole bunch of scans. Injuries, disease, basically any option available except for the harmful scans like X-Ray.]

Pfffft, no one's been killed! No one would be dumb enough to cuz we have access to the security feeds! But stay right here, I'll. go check things out, okay?

I'llBeRightBack!


[The scans can happen as Hermes further investigates the tea room. Is anything out of place?]
somuchshipping: (Worried)

[personal profile] somuchshipping 2023-07-14 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, that's definitely not the result of any honey badger, even if it IS a demon. Is there any sort of pattern to it, or is it just randomly all over the place?]
somuchshipping: (Wat)

[personal profile] somuchshipping 2023-07-14 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hermes rushes up to that overturned table! HERMES MUST LEARN YOUR SECRETS! That do you hide, if anything!?]

[Hermes scratches at his front leg, then picks the scone up to examine it further. Are there any bite or other marks in it?]
somuchshipping: (Exhasperated)

[personal profile] somuchshipping 2023-07-14 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[There, there half-eaten scone. While the organic that attempted to consume you has abandoned you so carelessly and heartlessly... Hermes shall always be by your side! For he is a supportive individual of healthy and cute and diligent relationships. So fear not! Even though Hermes is not organic, he will make sure he, himself, does not abandon you!

...

Okay, anything underneath any of the tables?]
