THE SECOND INVESTIGATION

[As the Titled wake up in the morning, there is quiet. No crazy electrical smells waft in the air, no burnt flesh sears their nostrils. It's got to be a relief to everyone, as they start to stir.

Or, perhaps it would be a relief, until they look at their phones.

The countdown is gone...]

...That doesn't look very promising.

[ His eyes narrow, looking around to see if there's more blood or where it leads. ]

I was right to be concerned about the lack of a timer.

[Joey was on her way out the door first thing herself, aaaaand there's blood.]

Oh. That's uh...

[She's honestly not sure whether to be scared or disappointed. She's got her flashlight in her hand and ready to cudgel something just in case either way.]

[foolishjustice]

[Oh no, smol in the vicinity of blood.]

You should probably go somewhere else. I doubt you want to see whatever this is from.

[incrediblystressedout]

[She shakes her head.]

I chickened out last time. We've all got to deal with this, and I'm not going to do that by hiding from it.

Besides, blood doesn't mean dead. We might be able to help, and I think I've got the most medical training of anyone here, sadly.

Considering the timer, that might be too optimistic...but you might be right. It did just say to 'commit fully' to rule 7, so attempted murder that failed because of unexpected interference might still counter the threat.

[ sorry guys can't hear you over being impulsive protag over here ]
