THIRD INVESTIGATION

[whimsicalism]

There was a party on the night of the first murder, wasn't there? That time it had been your hosts hosting it even if they didn't make an appearance. Now, at least the Queen had been able to talk with many of you in public. Surely this sign of goodwill as Halloween quickly approaches will last throughout the weekend.

Neither the threat of memories or the promise of a wish could shake such new goodwill, could it?

[Well, after spending some time there, she'll wander over and take the rowboat to the pirate ship.]

[whimsicalism]

[There's definitely going to be some exploration of the water later but for now?

You might see something weird on the left side of the pirate ship. Just barely, though. It's stuck under the ship.]

[imozon]

[Oh, that's... weird.

Let's row a little closer. Can she tell what it is?]

[whimsicalism]

[There's a floating purple light in the water next to the ship that is helping light up the dark water a little.

That sure is an arm sticking out. I hope you know how to swim.]

[Mizuki had obviously barely slept last night, shuffling as best she could behind Seven and Dark dream with lidded eyes, but now her carefully designed jock mermaid outfit is finally coming in handy as she quickly unzips down to her swimsuit and jumps in.]

[whimsicalism]

[Okay, Mizuki? I have a question for you.]

[whimsicalism]

[Was that an arm or a wing?

Because that is a duck under there.

Lena is dead.. I also hope you're holding onto the body when you grab it otherwise it will float to the top of the water.

Because ducks float when dead. Huh.]

[ballooncaged]

[Mizuki is so stunned at this development that she just floats up to the surface with Lena's wing-hand in her hand.]

[whimsicalism]

[Lena floats up with her!]

[imozon]

[Where Dark Dream can now see her.]

...Lena?

[ballooncaged]

Lena...

[Shaking her gently and desperately while treading water]

[imozon]

...is she dead?
