WEEK 4 INVESTIGATION

[killerwaves]

INVESTIGATION

Did you enjoy your musical serenade last week? Depending on where you find yourself this bright and sunny morning, you might be getting an encore of a different sort, in the theater.

Are you having the time of your life? Someone is, or more accurately, was if the trend from the last weeks hold. There's not even any extraneous noise to interrupt the musical marathon; the snap and pressure release of past weeks is notably absent, so maybe it's not the time to continue the party scene yet... Those on Dodo will be able to spot the warping haze stretched past the aquarium and almost to the theater by the time they make it outside, while those on Sungem and Seagull will also be able to spot the phenomenon encroaching on the shore from the ocean. Hm.

"Anybody could be that guy ♫"

(( OOC: Welcome to your third investigation, stay hydrated and refreshed ☆ ))

[Cool, we get to stay down here for a minute then.

Since Temenos is at the hut, Beelzebub will start traipsing down closer to the pool. What kind of damage is out here? Is there debris in the water, or to the cliffside?]

[killerwaves]

[ To start, it sure looks like a mess around here in general with various smatterings of damage to the rock formations. We can get back to that in a bit, because since he's looking into the pool he'll see two long objects in the water. ]

[gluttoning]

[Hm.

Time to wade out a bit and see what's going on. Are the objects nearby, or are they out in the middle of the water? Can he tell what they are? If not, he might need to take a swim.]

[killerwaves]

[ He's gonna have to wade into the water to get the objects, but since they're pretty long he doesn't need to dive or anything. Beel's efforts get him two harpoons which have seen far better days. ]

[gluttoning]

[Oof. He's going to double check the rest of the pool before bringing those back over to shore. How bad is bad, in comparison to the one he uses at Dodo Cabana?]

[killerwaves]

[ The harpoons are blunted, chipped and just all around dinged up. You would have a hard time catching any fish with harpoons like this. ]

[gluttoning]

[Oh. Sadge.

Looking at the other end of them. He knows Skywarp was using some of these as a prosthetic, does it look like these were snapped off?]

[killerwaves]

[ They do line up with how Skywarp would have needed to modify them as a prosthetic.

:( ]

[gluttoning]

[Poor one-footed Skywarp. (nobody tell him)

Okay, let's put those aside and take a better look at what's going on with the damaged rock formations. What kind of damage are they looking at? How far up the waterfall's face does the damage go?]

[killerwaves]

[ It's fine :')

Going back to the damage rock formations, you have a nice array of scorched marks, some holes that look rather laser like, and some general shockwave looking damage going on. It's a mess!

The damage looks to go all the way up to the top of the waterfall. ]

[gluttoning]

[Are we gonna have to take a hike/climb up to the top... smh he's too hungry for this.

Does it look like the damage came from any particular direction, or is it too hard to tell?]

[killerwaves]

[ It's too hard to tell. Ganba Beel... ]

[gluttoning]

[Sighs.

There's a nice burst of demonic energy as he switches forms again, calling over his shoulder to Temenos.]

Stay here. I'll be right back.

[Time to take a climb. If he can use his flight in bursts, he will, but otherwise, eh, he's just getting his workout for the day.]

[killerwaves]

[ See that's the way to look at it! Welcome to the top of the waterfall. He'll be able to tell right away that there's more damage to the rock face here (of the same variety) than there is below. ]

[gluttoning]

[Horrible!

Time to take a look around the general leap of faith area, then. Is the mechanical scent still strong up here? Is there any trace of that blue liquid?]

[killerwaves]

[ It's still present but less strong than it was down below. That's probably because while there's the blue liquid around, there's not nearly as much as there is below where Temenos is poking around.

Also while he's here looking around, he will spot an object on the ground for his efforts! ]

[gluttoning]

[Object...

Beel puts it directly into his m--- no I'm kidding. Time to take a closer look, what do we got, and where exactly is it?]

[killerwaves]

[ It is a u-pinion device which much like the harpoons, has also seen better days. ]

[gluttoning]

[RIP poor knock-off cellphone.

Can it still power on? If so, can he see whose this was, what username is displayed, or if there's any messages that can be viewed?]

[killerwaves]

[ Given it's pretty damaged with a crack in the screen, it's not surprise that it doesn't turn on. ]

[gluttoning]

[Oh. Super ultra RIP.

Gonna pull out his own D.D.D. to take a clear photo of where this thing was dropped in comparison to the mouth of the waterfall and the cliff for jumping down. Was it out on the rock? In the foliage somewhere nearby?

Once he's got that picture, he's gonna get a couple more photos of the damage up here. Same question as below, since it's heavier damage, is there any indication of where it came from? Is it just more damage out over the edge of the waterfall, or is it also on the cliffside leading up to it as well?]

[killerwaves]

[ It's closer to the cliff for the jump down than the mouth of the waterfall itself. It was also out on the rock, in relatively plain sight as opposed to in a bush or patch of grass.

As for the general damage, there's no clear indication where it came from, but the damage does go from the cliffside (top) down the traverse of the rocky part of the waterfall to the pool below. ]

[gluttoning]

[Anything in the water up here?

If not, time to descend and see if there's anything noticeable from a top down view while he's making his way back down to the crystal pool.]

[killerwaves]

[ Nothing in the water up here! As he flies down (and likely waves to Temenos) he will see some glinting in the pool below; they're pretty small which explains why he didn't necessarily see them when he was harpoon dredging earlier, but the rays of the sun help him out here. ]

[dupiety]

[Hey, he's not going to complain about not having to do a workout.

Anyway he's watching respectfully.]
