second investigation [night 7/day 8]

[calloperators]

[So I have good news today! No explosion that will wake you all up at 3 AM! You can sleep in to the morning if you want to.

But if you’re a really early riser, or you stay up really late every evening, it might be worth it to look around.

Especially after that strange phone call you got again. After all, you’ve all committed crime, there could be someone who would trade in a human life for a fabulous prize.

Or sleep in honestly that’s what I would do.

Investigate?]

[Eve would be =') ... Maybe

It seems to have one less nail than a full nail gun would have.]

[advancements]

[That's probably going to come in handy at the trial! Anything else about the nailgun, the store, or the glass?]

[hotlinenpcs]

[Nope!]

[rangerslayer]

[ What color? How long? ]

[worldchampofmartialarts]

[...reluctantly, Satan takes a picture of Medic's bare torso.]

[He's... he's done spending time with the body, Grog can have fun with it. He's going after the arcade cabinet now. Anything weird there?]

[neverstudied]

[Well that's

hm

It could be Beard. it could also not be Beard. Venkman's not sure which, but he wishes he had a weapon right about now just in case. Considering the number of times he's been ambushed by weird ghost stuff in bathrooms- and the corpse on the floor- that's a pretty fair reaction.

He moves a little closer. Can he make out what it is if he pays close attention?]

[hotlinenpcs]

[A couple of things!

The arcade cabinet looks old and beat up, and seems to be stuck on a screen that says "FINISH HIM!"]

no dying we examine uncomfortable evidence like adults

[beardcheck]

[HE MIGHT HAVE]

[But this Grog probably actually knows enough about to be able to tell some things. Does it look like it was made by fists, or some kind of weapon? Or did Medic just fall down a shitton of stairs.]

[hotlinenpcs]

[As Venkman moves closer, he can start to make out what the sound is.

...

Sounds like...someone...snoring?]

[hotlinenpcs]

[There a little long, but it's hard to tell the color. Blonde? Brown?? Somewhere between that.]

[worldchampofmartialarts]

[Huh.]

[...how exactly is the screen stuck- is it just frozen into a still image- or is it just softlocked with the sprites looping the same animation endlessly? And is there any visible glitching aside from that?]

='(

[hotlinenpcs]

[Ah yes, the notorious stairs falls when there are no stairs.

They are mostly situated on his sides and back, they seem kind of blunt, and looks like it could have been made by someone without weapons.]

[hotlinenpcs]

[Like a soft lock! Nothing else is noticeable about the glitching.]

[rangerslayer]

[ Okay... Dirty blonde-ish, got it. Anything else notable about the hair? ]

[hotlinenpcs]

[Nope!]

[neverstudied]

[... Yeah ok

He knocks on the door, hard- hopefully loud enough to wake the person inside.]

[worldchampofmartialarts]

[...hm...]

[What about the cabinet itself... if it's in really poor shape, is that... just due to its old age, or is there any sign that it's taken more damage during this incident?]

[hotlinenpcs]

[There's a small snort, like someone being jolted awake. After a small pause, Venkman can hear a nervous, familiar voice. Which, coincidentally, is the only voice you've ever heard in this convenience store besides those from the motel.]

...Hello? Are the police finally here?

[Venkman might also get the distinct smell of weed near the door. It's pretty clear who's inside.]

[hotlinenpcs]

[The cabinet itself just seems worn from age, nothing really notable about that.

The cord however...]

[rangerslayer]

[ Okay, then, let's move on... What's next, how about the nearby stand? ]

no crying in murdergames, except all the crying we do

[beardcheck]

[We were all warned, bro.]

[Grog is gonna try to fistfight the culprit.]

[Anything else weird about the body, or failing that - anything cool in Medic's pockets.]

[knifegf]

[ the plot thickens. anything else on the gun of note, like blood, etc? ]

[hotlinenpcs]

[It seems like a display case full of touristy schlock that's really painful to look at.

Shamefully, there's this abomination of the shirt that's apparently not for sale. It even has a sign on it saying that it's not for sale!

Damn.]

[hotlinenpcs]

[Do not grab more toes, Grog.

But you could take a closer look at the bullet wound!]

[worldchampofmartialarts]

[...oh boy.]

[What state of discord is this cord in.]
