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.

[It's early morning, Grog's beard is stuck up and cow-licked on one side with dried drool from overnight.]

[Time for some beer. Anything unusual on the way to the convenience store?]

[calloperators]

[Good morning Grog! Everything is fine here don't worry about it.

And especially don't worry about the thick stench of blood.]

[rangerslayer]

[ Early riser here. Up and going to go for a run on the beach. Anything suspicious? ]

[hotlinenpcs]

[Everything is fine here!]

[worldchampofmartialarts]

[Listen.]

[He got his instant camera from that convenience store machine last night.]

[...he's taking that as a sign he should make himself useful and document what he can around town. He's wandering about, walking out the motel, anything in the area that'd catch his eye?]

[boxingbuff]

[Early to sleep, early to rise! That's Ladd's way, anyway.

It's pizza for breakfast. Time to head to the pizza parlor that's hopefully not burned down.]

[hotlinenpcs]

[Nothing is really out of the normal to the naked eye! There may be some things if you look closer but we don't wanna spoil anything before the body's even been found ;)]

[hotlinenpcs]

[Everything is fine here!]

[worldchampofmartialarts]

[Well, hell. Let's go over to the convenience store, first, that's the closest building to the motel, anyway.]

[hotlinenpcs]

[Weeeell...]

[worldchampofmartialarts]

[Ohhhh he doesn't like that and not just because he can't capture it on camera as evidence.]

[Well, it's a start, and the only thing he can grab onto right now- so... might as well follow his nose. Where does it lead him?]

[beardcheck]

[Yeah that's probably normal.]

[But he's gonna try to follow it anyway, you know, just in case.]

[hotlinenpcs]

[The scent leads Grog to the back of the store, where a single arcade cabinet sits.

... And there's someone laying down on the floor.]

[boxingbuff]

[Excellent.]

[hotlinenpcs]

[That icon scares me what are you going to do to the pizza place Ladd]

[worldchampofmartialarts]

[Hey there, Grog. Satan's also in the area. Doesn't have time to say hi, though. He's too preoccupied with rushing towards the corpse as soon as he sees it.]

[Blood stench means there's blood here. What do the stains look like? On the body? Around the body?]

[hotlinenpcs]

[It's very noticably on the body.]

[worldchampofmartialarts]

[That's what he was afraid of.]

[...what do the wounds look like?]

[hotlinenpcs]

[... Satan I support you.

But maybe you should figure out who this person is first.]

[beardcheck]

[Checking the wounds means looting the body, right?]

[Grog might be looting a little bit.]

[But he's also getting close enough to try and see who our surprise cadaver of the day is.]

[hotlinenpcs]

[Grog you can loot here every day.

But the body is very easy to identify the body, since the only wound you see is a single shot in his head.

The Medic is dead]

[hotlinenpcs]

[There's no phone call today but you remember a couple of days ago, right?

You wouldn't want to ignore a horrible death, would you?]
