Nah... I got stuck outside, despite my best efforts.

[westedge]

[ woof. ]

Where'd you end up?

[adorabrawler]

Outer Park. There were a bunch of others there, too.

[westedge]

At least you weren't by yourself. [ but...bad. ] Does kind of make it a little messed up considering where they found Rin.

[adorabrawler]

Oh... is it.

[westedge]

...did you not hear? They found him in the lake.

[adorabrawler]

[ oh ]

..... Yeah, a little too close for comfort.

[westedge]

I've been hearing a lot about where people were finding things, but not enough to put together a timeline. Not like last week. Tomorrow's going to really test us.

[adorabrawler]

It's still early, so... Maybe it'll all come together easier tomorrow.

[westedge]

[ and then it did not. ]

Hopefully that's true. We can at least know where to start instead of spending time wondering what we should be doing.

[adorabrawler]

[ me watching everyone scramble like o_o ]

So where would you start? Because I have no idea.

[westedge]

Checking his body, first of all. Just to make sure Rin really did drown and it wasn't that he was conveniently thrown out there to obscure something else.

[adorabrawler]

That'd be hard without a lab...

[ but we are in a murdergame, so, ]

[westedge]

Yeah, I know. We've gotta do the best we can with what we have. Maybe the reapers will give us some tools this time to help? It can't hurt to ask.

[adorabrawler]

You think they can interfere like that?

[westedge]

Probably not but if we keep bugging them about it they might get permission to later or something.

[adorabrawler]

I wonder...

Since this is ultimately a game, they might not want to tip it in our favor too much.

[westedge]

[ he tilts his head. ]

That's a possibility some of us have considered. We're still not sure if the reapers are getting anything else out of this or not.

[adorabrawler]

Maybe it pays the bills well.

[westedge]

You think they actually have 'em if we barely have to pay for anything?

[adorabrawler]

Oh, I doubt it's because of us. Some higher-ups are paying 'em I bet.

[westedge]

They have talked about a Game Master in charge of the whole game. Not sure if that equals paying them, but that's something.

[adorabrawler]

There's no way even the Reapers are free from our capitalist society.

[westedge]

[ he shakes his head. and because this is a w1 friday... ]

We can always ask them later. See if they get bonus pay after tomorrow's trial.
