Second Investigation

[pleasureislanders]

[Hey guess what everyone? There’s no horrible explosion to wake you up this morning! It’s nice and quiet inside the Adventurer’s Club.

…Outside, however? Even from inside, you can hear faint, distant screaming.

That’s… that’s probably fine, right. You wouldn’t need to investigate that, would you?]

[The Walruses try to lash at Sugar Plum, but luckily barely miss her (I'm not a monster).

Strangely though, as much as she looks inside the pit, she will find absolutely zero human remains in there?

[primafacie]

[Well, that's good? She guesses?]

There's no body down here! [Pause.] Ah, um. That might not be good upon further thought.

[feudalladyshandmaid]

Yeah, that's not good!

[You'd hope that a miracle happened. But it probably didn't.

Are there any clues up and outside the pit that could point her towards a body elsewhere?]

[pleasureislanders]

[The weirdest thing? No there isn't

But that doesn't mean there isn't a body elsewhere ;)]

[feudalladyshandmaid]

[Great! Super! She hates this!

At least they can cover more ground by splitting up. And Videopolis is close by. Let's see what we can find there.]

[pleasureislanders]

[There's definitely some weird things going on here, but no body!]

[feudalladyshandmaid]

[Weird how?]

[pleasureislanders]

[;) Don't worry about it you'll be able to investigate proper soon enough.]

[feudalladyshandmaid]

[Great!! She hates it even more!!

Off to the island depot!!!]

[tadaishi]

[If there's no body at the Pit, Tadashi's going to go check out the Island Depot, just in case.]

[pleasureislanders]

[Oh boy Tadashi you are in for a treat!

Because you don't find just one, but two bodies laying on the floor!]

[tadaishi]

[Oh thanks, he hates this.

Please tell him the bodies are identifiable and not like. Horribly walrus-mutilated.

Who are they?]

[pleasureislanders]

[Oh don't worry they're very identifiable.

Yzma and Cecil are dead.]

[feudalladyshandmaid]

[Okay, coming up on the depot, oh Tadashi is here, that's-]

Oh. Come on...

[primafacie]

[She made her way out of the pit because, well. Yeah. They were trying to eat her.]

Miss Cassandra? What - oh.

[kuzcospoison]

[Kronk's attention also got caught by all the commotion happening within the store, so, uh. He's... here, too.]

[He hasn't said anything, but it's pretty obvious he's shaken up from the sight of the bodies. Yzma's in particular. It just feels... wrong, looking at her like that.]

[tadaishi]

[Sorry Kronk.]

[diebartdie]

Oh, honestly, Cecil. You think you can fool me with this nonsense?

[Bob is storming on to the scene. Finger pointed and snarled.]

I came up with this faking-death scheme first! Stealing from me yet again will be your downfall, my besmirched brother!

[pleasureislanders]

[Cecil doesn't respond, because he's very much dead.]

[diebartdie]

[PICKS UP THE CORPSE AND SLAPS IN THE FACE]

A FAKE BODY?! HOW UTTERLY CONVINCING OF YOU, YOU— DUPLICITOUS DUNCE! Come out now and face me like a man!

[tadaishi]

[Far be it for Tadashi to involve himself in family affairs on a normal basis, but he's going to get involved here and try to get Bob to let go of the body at least.]

It's a real body! Even if it isn't his, quit assaulting it!

[diebartdie]

[unceremoniously drops with a loud thud.]

You don’t know him like I do, cretin.

He’ll do anything to outwit and outdo me, you little cretin. This is just the beginning!

[tadaishi]

[Who kills an old lady?]

Two people...
