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?

[The continual glow is actually pretty concerning for Oriko in particular, considering that in her experience magic typical fades with its wielder's lifespan.

Just how different were Lena's experiences, after all...?

If pointed at anything, the purple glow doesn't react to or refract off of anything nearby, right? She'd probably try shining it in the water and around the general boat location...]

[whimsicalism]

[It's just like a general ominous purple glowstick, basically. Whatever evil or good power it has isn't there. It just glows.]

[prescience]

[Truly and deeply ominous.

Looking a lot wetter and more like a very drowned rat than she went into the cove, Oriko will go check and see what else she can find. The pendant...It should go back to her, right? She'll take care of that later.

She would probably start looking for any indicator of where Lena might have been before she ended up in the water or if were any signs, like a water current or whatever that would indicate where thing might have piled up. If that helps steer investigation.]

[whimsicalism]

[There's no current but given enough time and effort, Oriko will find two bullet casings in the water on the other side of the pirate ship.]

[prescience]

[Holy shit imagine how long you have to be in the water to find something like that.

No signs of anything else that hasn't been washed away, though?]

[whimsicalism]

[I don't know, you tell me.

Nope.

But you know what's not that hard to find? A bullet that was found with the amulet. You have that your inventory. Unlike the casings, this one is a full bullet.]
