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?]

[SUNBURN.]

[poor bastard]

What the shit.

[hotlinenpcs]

[Sometimes you get sunburn so badly that your pants burn too.

Wanna look some more?]

[beardcheck]

[Sunburn is exactly the same as molten lava, of course mere pants would burn.]

[...How many toes does Medic have, can Grog tell?]

[hotlinenpcs]

[T

ten...]

[beardcheck]

[The mystery deepens.]

[Does the area around Medic look burned at all, like has the floor been obviously set ablaze recently?]

[hotlinenpcs]

[Nope! Pyro is dead so no more weird fires, I guess.]

[beardcheck]

[He spontaneously feet combusted, tragic.]

[Anything else about the body?]

[hotlinenpcs]

[I'm really

Really gonna hate saying this

But the one last thing of note about Medic's body is going to have to involve removing his shirt.

Or if you want to save me you can investigate the gunshot a little more.]

[beardcheck]

[Oh hell naw]

[we're doing this]

[you put this out there, i can't not]

[Let's strip this corpse in the name of looting.]

I want die

[hotlinenpcs]

[Grog did you think Medic would have valuables tapped to his chest or something.

But now that he's topless you can see that Medic has a lot of bruising on him.]

[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?]

[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!"]

[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]

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

[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]

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

The cord however...]

[worldchampofmartialarts]

[...oh boy.]

[What state of discord is this cord in.]

[hotlinenpcs]

[It's been horribly frayed. The plastic has been completely worn away with all the internal wires showing.

It really should be replaced, that's not safe!]

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]

[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.]

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.]

[hotlinenpcs]

[Do not grab more toes, Grog.

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

[beardcheck]

[If there are any more that are detached, we'll talk.]

[But okay, what's up with this bullet wound.]

cw suicide

[hotlinenpcs]

[The bullet wound is on the same side of his head that the gun is in, and it looks like Medic shot himself in the head, between the gun positioning and whatnot.

... There is also something else of note but that requires Grog to actually knowing how dead bodies work which we established that he doesn't.]

Re: cw suicide

[beardcheck]

[He has seen a lot of dead bodies, at least? Is it something he might notice and describe to someone competent?]
