The Third Investigation

[airlockedmods]

[Well, it's probably a good sign that each Champion still awakes in their own bed, and not in a completely random dimension. Or a bad sign, depending on how you look at it.

Still, there doesn't seem to be much amiss on the main floor of the space station... Except for a kind of cloying smell that very faintly lingers in the air around the teleporter.

(There is no body in the cafeteria, but it is a surprise place that will help us out later.)

>Investigate?]

[ yuri is actively trying to avoid finding another dead body. he figures there is one since he woke up in the space ship.

i hope there's nothing in the pool area. surely someone can't be murdered there again right ]

[le_mat]

[That smell... Akira feels an air of dis-ease and doesn't even bother looking around, just heads right to the second floor

And to the compactor if there isn't anything obvious right out the gate]

[lmafo]

[ Is that smell any stronger if she teleports to the third floor? ]

[immaculacies]

[Manaka decides to head up to the greenhouse first this morning. Hello, friendly pigeons! Are there any bodies here?]

[in4apounding]

[Well. If this is a random dimension, Penny definitely lost the infinite worlds theory lottery. But that means someone did something to stop the motive.]

[She considers the past few weeks for a moment, wandering all over trying to check everything before finding anyone.]

...CECE? Can you, um, tell me if there's any room it would be a good idea to check?

[Gonna cheat gonna cheat gonna cheat cheat cheat cheat-]

[Gonna try, anyway.]

[airlockedmods]

[The pool area is clear]

[airlockedmods]

[The smell only gets stronger as Akira approaches the Trash Compactor.]

[quadjumps]

[ OH THANK GOD. just gonna head out (meet up with akira) then... ]

[quadjumps]

...What the fuck is that smell?

[ sup akira ]

[le_mat]

[Sorry bro, he doesn't even answer. Just goes from a jog to a full run]

[airlockedmods]

[Well, the light's not on over the door, but that just means it's not currently in motion.

Enter the deathtrap Compactor?]

[airlockedmods]

[Nope]

[airlockedmods]

[Certainly not, cutie, garden your little butt off.]

[airlockedmods]

[CECE doesn't answer.]

[le_mat]

[Slapping that button like it's his teacher's ass]

[lovecolored]

[ Whatcha guys doing? She's gonna silently tag along because I haven't investigated anything yet and she needs to see this disasterbacle. ]

Is that coming from the trash room? ...what am I saying, of course it is, ze.

[quadjumps]

[ fuck that akira you're going in alone buddy. yuri knows this is bad he's going to.

wait outside.... ]

[airlockedmods]

[...You really wanna turn it back on?? you can just, open the door you know]

[le_mat]

[I meant open the door look maybe I just wanna hit buttons leave me alone]

[in4apounding]

...Okay. Thank you anyway.

[Worth a shot.]

[And since she can't smell a thing, let's say she heads towards the diner first.]

[airlockedmods]

[Upon opening the door, you are hit with.

The worst fucking smell. It smells a body farm in here, for serious. There's red fluid splattered up the walls of the compactor and sprayed liberally all over the floor, like someone popped an enormous zit that happened to be filled with hair and bone matter and... uh.

Do those look like bandages around the fluid-drenched Champion Unitard?]

[airlockedmods]

[The diner's clear, but Akira has unsealed a great evil on the second floor that probably would turn even people who do need to eat off of breakfast.]

[airlockedmods]

[it sure is]

[le_mat]

[He's a perceptive guy. He knows already who this is. The smell of rot, the bandages. So before even saying anything he closes the door behind him.

Yuri can't see this. He'll take it alone.

He steps closer, kneeling next to the unitard.]

[MM, GROSS]
