third investigation

[stagemanagers]

[At the start of Friday, things are surprisingly calm. There’s no blood on the hall carpet, presumably no bodies ready to fall out of a broom closet, nothing especially incriminating when the cast wakes up and emerges from their rooms. It’s possible this time, even with the palpable temptation of the Phantom’s motive, that no one has taken him up on his offer to kill. Maybe later today you won't have to march yourselves into the trial room to decipher clues and watch more of you die.

But the day is young.]

Comments

[holyspit]

[Yeah that's about what I figured.]

Where's- where's the rest of her-?

[Gonna look around the immediate area for any more shards or anything immediately out of place.]

[stagemanagers]

[It just be like that with Gems.

Anyway, you'll find that there's a mix of shard sizes here - the larger pieces are at the bottom of the pile. You see no sign of others outside this immediate area.]

[holyspit]

[Is this, like, her gem being entirely shattered into multiple pieces, or more like there's one bigger piece that's had a bunch of bits knocked off of it somehow?]

[And as he tries reassembling her, does there seem to be any specific part of the stone that's missing, or just random bits?]

[stagemanagers]

[Just random bits, it seems like. It also seems like a proper shattering into multiple pieces.

You can, in fact, see some glittery pink dust sparkling in the grass here - it looks like this is where shit probably went down.]

[holyspit]

[Glitter, why you betray us this way]

[He's gonna. At least try to gather that up, as much as he can. Is there some kind of trail going on here?]

[stagemanagers]

[Not really. You have this confusing mess of footprints, as described below - whatever that was all about sort of ruins any chances of getting a good trail.]

[holyspit]

[well fuck all kinds of duck]

[no this is not a gagtag, deal with it]
