[continue + 2] week 1 || act: investigate

[foundationmods]

[Everything is still, silent, and dark - just like it should be.

Friday comes, and there is no angry captain waking you up, no crowd of people.

But there is still, undeniably...

a feeling of foreboding.

You know what this is.

One of your own...has perished.

At the hands of one of you.]

[On his hair, hmm. Taking a couple close-up pictures.

Is the snow moved around enough to suggest he actually got somewhere, e.g. is there anything that could be called a trail?]

[foundationmods]

[Nope! Once he fell he kind of just stayed there. But the blood in his hair is more like secondary transfer, not that he bled on his hair. And that bit of blood is near the back of his head too.]

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Oh good, so at least he didn't fold up like a Transformer before he died.

Let's check out the flute. Anything off about it?]

[foundationmods]

[Unfortunately, WWX is not a robot in disguise :(

The flute is normal! And since I am a fool, we can say that WWX's soul is chilling there right by the flute.]

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Ah, that seems like a good segue into searching the body.

...

What? She remembers the first investigation. She's looking for his soul pouch thing.]

[foundationmods]

[Soul pouch thing is still there. Is she scooping up his soul?

Also, there's something off about how he looks, but Karen won't be able to figure it out immediately.]

[oceanicbutterfly]

[She will definitely snap a couple of extra photos then. If she's not sure, she can find someone who is.

And she's... going to try? She's not sure if there are any weird subtleties to how the soul pouch thing works.]

[foundationmods]

[Good idea! Someone should be able to look at those pictures and tell what is off.

And we'll say that yes, she can scoop up WWX's soul and hang onto it.

And since she took those pictures, there's no other clues to be found here, unless she wants to drag someone here to get the clue she missed.]

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Actually, one more thing while we're here. Karen wasn't specifically checking for this, but it'd be obvious from looking all the pictures she's taken: does WWX have a mask on him?]

[foundationmods]

[He does! I'll ask Pan where specifically when she gets back, but it's somewhere on his body, yes.]
