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 ☆ ))

me trying to be like, can i phrase this all succinity, but. alas.

[killerwaves]

[ There are, in fact, drag marks that can be found along the same path!

These pieces are rather small bits; a various assortment that would include some bolts and screws. They do look like in rather scuffed up condition.

It's difficult to tell momentum wise from that little blood trail.

Yet, there seems to be even more, since Magolor is following along the entirety of these railways. This accursed trail not only lead from two islands, but also goes straight onwards to Seagull Island's railway, and then eventually to the go-kart area.

In addition, the tire tracks that start from Kingfisher to Seagull Island's railway are not "bloody", do not contain drag marks, and do not have robot bits. ]

i uh. see what you mean by staring at this

[microtransactions]

[ ...... so to be clear, there are:

• tire tracks + blood and bits + drag trail from dodo to kingfisher
  
• tire tracks + blood and bits + drag trail from dodo to seagull,
  
• tire tracks from kingfisher to seagull

with the seagull trails leading to the go-karts, yes?

which, if any of these trails, look like they might have been doubled up on?

or am I misreading and this is actually just a two legged journey, with the seagull-kingfisher path being robot free and kingfisher-dodo being cursed.

outside of the lack of blood and bits and drag marks from kingfisher to seagull, does the quality of the tracks/trails vary in any way? ]

[killerwaves]

[ We're back at map/trailgate...

From where Magolor is walking, he may observe the following from his original direction:

- Tire tracks + blood and bits + drag trail from Dodo to Kingfisher. (No doubling up)
- Tire tracks without those; soley those from Kingfisher to Seagull (however, he can tell they originally came in through the Seagull route, no doubling up)
- Seagull's trails also lead to the go-karts, yes! (No doubling up)

Pictures for reference: 1. Exclusively non-bloody trail, sans robot parts, and drag marks. Tire tracks only. (Seagull is pictured; these are to Kingfisher)
2. Focusing solely on rails here, a path of tire tracks (non-bloody) from Seagull coming to Kingfisher railway; and then a second one going to Dodo.
3. Exclusively bloody trail, drag marks, tire tracks (Kingfisher--> to Dodo Island, which is pictured above) [Pictures courtesy of Fyre]

On the matter of the quality of the tracks/trails, the trails don't seem to vary much. However, the tire tracks appear at each and every point that necessitated a turn, to have been far too weirdly sharp, as in like angular instead of curved. Like you might expect from the usual go-kart driving.

Hope this clears it up! ]

[ gomen for your lots modchans.

so if I were to describe the path traced by go-karts, it's as if a zigzagoon or linoone made them, yes? only know stop and go in straight lines, jaggy zigzaggy turns all over! no smooth turning here. that's very inchresting.

since he's been following them all this way, do the rails show damage that would match metal on metal impacts- you know, like if skywarp banged against them while getting dragged from the waterfall to the theater the way we're assuming.

if he goes to the go-kart area, how's that looking. is there anything weird about seagull if he looks around now that the trail has led him here, or should he head back along his fun boltcrumbs trail to take pictures of all this and probably take along at least a few Skywarp Bits™ as evidence for trial. ]

[killerwaves]

[ :crymeow:

That's right, yes!

As for seeing if the rails witness any damage from metal on metal impacts...that is definitely a non, no damage on the rails from that sort of thing!

As for going on along and electing to search for more stuff at seagull/go-karts, he will find nothing more. Picture taking and nabbing Skywarp bits can be a thing. ]

[microtransactions]

[ he will do so! time to trace his way back to kingfisher, since that's where skywarp apparently was injured. pictures and bit nabbing happens along the way. how far can he track the go-kart trail + the rest of the mess inland.

and also the drag marks, is it just one big indistinct trail following the tire tracks, or is there anything more distinct about them? I'm not expecting anything like finger drag marks dug into the ground or anything but, like, just in case we Gotta be Thorough. ]

[killerwaves]

[The drag marks on Kingfisher are separate from the tire tracks, which only come and go along the railway and at the railway area.

There's nothing particularly distinct about the drag marks themselves other than that they're made by dragging something large.]

[microtransactions]

[ and if he follows the drag marks ... do they lead to the crystal pool at the bottom of the waterfall, or somewhere else?

snaps pictures of the separate trails while he goes, doot doot doo. this will probably be the last tag from me with questions unless there's something horrifyingly obvious like a confession left alongside the path he's following, nya, because beel and temenos have the waterfall proper covered! ]

[killerwaves]

[They do indeed lead to the crystal pool!

He discovers a robot-sized bikini left on the side of the drag marks-- OK no, he doesn't, we're good here. ☆]
