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 ☆ ))

[ Mmhmm, mmmhmm!

Well there's a whole bunch of rock fragments and crystals scattered about. ]

[dupiety]

[Hmmm... Are those crystals usually found over in this area? And do there happen to be any patterns in the debris, such as an idea of which direction they might have come from?]

[killerwaves]

[ The crystals are native to the waterfall area, yes! There's pretty crystal formations at the bottom of the waterfall, but what he's seeing is small bits and fragments of them.

As he's looking at them he'll easily be able to spot one very large footprint or rather several large footprints, in the area in a haphazard looking pattern. ]

[dupiety]

[Whoa. What can he learn about these footprints? Are they bigger than his own, and are there any distinct shapes or treads that he can make out?

Further, is there a way to tell where they came from or where they lead to?]

[killerwaves]

[ They are definitely way bigger and since he's seen Skywarp it's pretty easy to tell they're from robotic feeties (foot). And since this is pretty obvious too, it's not arranged in a way you would expect two footprints to be, but rather one singular foot making multiple prints. Then again, considering Skywarp's leg predicament, this probably makes a lot of sense.

As for any direction, they're definitely erratic looking, but don't appear to have come from anywhere, suddenly appearing at the bottom of the waterfall. ]

[dupiety]

[Skywarp was definitely here all right.

Will he find any other smatterings of footprints like this beyond the waterfall area? Or does all of this damage look pretty localized to the waterfall and the rockface itself?]

[killerwaves]

[ The footprints are centralized around the waterfall area, and because this is definitely noticeable but it sure is a friday, blue blood splatters are also scattered around the prints.

It's also pretty obvious that they're not blood proper (though Beel told Temenos that already), but more an oily substance. ]

[dupiety]

[Yeah... It doesn't take much to guess whose "blood" that could be.

Assuming there's nothing else to find at the base of the waterfall, Temenos will regroup with Beel to see where they need to go next.]

[killerwaves]

[ Well Temenos was looking up at Beel as he flew up the waterfall right? Respectfully. In doing so he'll notice that... there's something stuck in the roof of the hut. ]

[dupiety]

[No, clearly he wasn't being mildly horny on main and was looking toward the hut all along.

What is this mystery thing, though? Will he want to try to climb onto the hut to grab it?]

[killerwaves]

[ A holy man would never...

He'll want to climb onto the hut because once he gets a clear look at it, it's... Skywarp's other foot. The good one! Not the harpoon leg one. ]

[dupiety]

[Oh...well would you look at that.

Does it look like it crashed into the hut's roof? And is there any way for Temenos to discern how it became detached?]

[killerwaves]

[ It does look like it crashed, yeah. It's not placed delicately or hilariously.

As for how it became detached, there's diagonal slashes running over the foot for one. ]

[dupiety]

[Slashes, huh... Are they clean cuts or is there anything distinct about them?]

[killerwaves]

[ They're... kinda clean? Skywarp was pretty sturdy after all so we're not talking super neat cuts like how a hot knife would cut through butter, but they're distinct enough to tell they're slashes. ]

[dupiety]

[o7

How about the actual point of detachment? What's that looking like?]

[killerwaves]

[ thank you for indulging food mod.

anyway the actual points of detachment does bear some sign of a slash injury, but the exposed array of the foot looks kind of frayed, something cleaner to being just straight ripped off, but its clear a lot of force was applied. ]

[dupiety]

[Anytime!!

He'll definitely take pictures of all of this...since carrying it to the trial might be kind of difficult, unless Beel really wants to do that.

If there's nothing else weird going on with the foot, he'll start working his way back off the hut lol.]

[killerwaves]

[ Nothing else, he can go admire the unholy butt as the good lord intended. ]
