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.)

Yuri-?

[Hey guys what's going on in this thr

[quadjumps]

...Someone's in there. Akira and Marisa went to go investigate.

[in4apounding]

Oh no- ...where's Zombina.

[quadjumps]

Don't--don't say that--

[ yuri has a feeling, just from the smell, but he doesn't want to believe it-- ]

[in4apounding]

No- I mean- I'm sure she's- ...someone should check on her.

[What smell.]

[lovecolored]

[ Marisa cracks her head out of the door, quickly trying to scramble out and close it before the announcement goes off. ]

Yuri. Penny.

It's...it's Zombina.

[quadjumps]

[ see

this is why. this is why growing attached, getting closer to people in this spaceship is a bad idea.

they all leave you at some point or another.

yuri covers his nose, but he doesn't react right away. not like last week. ]

They...threw her in there?

[lovecolored]

It...looks like it, yeah. Son of a bitch...

[quadjumps]

What kind of sick twisted fucker would--!

[ he's seething in rage.

he can't stay here.

yuri clenches his fists and nearly runs away. ]

[lovecolored]

[ Uh...mission accomplished? Marisa looks uneasy, but he didn't see the gore and that's what Akira asked her to do, so.

She silently slinks back into the warzone of a room. ]

[in4apounding]

. . .

[Sorry, the Penny you are trying to reach is unavailable at the moment. Please try again later.]

[in4apounding]

...No. No. NO. We were- NO!

[lovecolored]

...you should get outta here, Penny. It ain't good.

[ operation don't let the cinnabon be more traumatized than she already is ]

[in4apounding]

No, no, I can't- we can't just leave her- we have to- help or- or- or-

[Have you tried turning her off and on aga- wait, no, that's terrible.]

I- I need to help- to- find out who-

[lovecolored]

No. It's really, really bad in there. If ya wanna help, there are other areas to look, I'm sure.

[in4apounding]

I was going- I promised-

[Hugs? Hugs are happening.]

[lovecolored]

[ She can do hugs! She's not really feeling it much, herself, but if a hug will help Penny she'll get one. ]

[in4apounding]

[Iiiiiit's slightly less terrible than if she weren't getting one? This is a pretty bad baseline.]

...she said we were sisters.
