Third Investigation

[airlockedmods]

[The incentive this week was a pretty intense one. But spirits seemed high at yesterday's party - even Blaze Dudely participated, albeit in a weird, oblique and pretty Mozu-centric way. Maybe this Friday will be different from the last two?

Everything seems quiet, at least.]

Comments

[goldrighthand]

[Yep. How big's the wound?]

[airlockedmods]

[Knife-sized.

It seems to have encountered some resistance. John's protective charms are hanging around his neck, close to his chest. They have been slashed in half.]

[goldrighthand]

[...holy shit did his god hang out here after all. H u h.

Any defensive wounds? Signs of struggle?]

[airlockedmods]

[Not much of one, though with the guitar included, it seems to have taken a try or two before he was stabbed properly. He was probably holding the guitar when he died.]

[goldrighthand]

[...geesh.

To confirm; he's got that wound at his chest, but...that guitar has a 'wound', too? Or there's another at his side?]

[airlockedmods]

[That was 100% the guitar's wound. I tell little joke.]

[goldrighthand]

[You do this, you make this happen.

Anything else interesting about John's body? We've got broken charms, a stabby wound...]

[airlockedmods]

[What has it got in its pockets?]

[goldrighthand]

[IS IT A NEW CAR]

[airlockedmods]

[It's the Precious!

Or, actually, it's a note. It reads:

John,
I want to learn to play guitar like I said before, but it's embarrassing to play when anyone else is awake, since I know I'll be bad at the start. Could we practice in the mess hall at one?]

[goldrighthand]

[...doublechecks time of death. That sure is a hell of a lure.

He'll pocket that and the car]
