INVESTIGATION 5

It's a quiet night as the silence remains unbroken. Without the toll of the clock tower, only a choice few will be able to discern the time as the hands on all four faces remain fixed at 9:27. And yet, even those without any means of checking the time will probably get the picture: it's been four consecutive weeks of death already, so what makes this one any different? So even though the lines between days may blur and tangle together, time still marches on and deadlines continue to draw closer.

The time is ████. Is there a reason to be out in the streets right now? Maybe.

[ Ass o'clock you say?? All right, cool, sounds like a good time for a stroll!

Anything out of the ordinary around the arcade? ]

[umbralant]

[Ass o'clock is always a great time to go for a stroll and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. But no, there's nothing out of the ordinary near the arcade so your games are safe for this week!]

[ Meta gets it!! Tho this sure is some thief logic right here, maybe he'll just pop by somewhere and steal something—

Or maybe he'll continue to wander around and think about things he could be looting?? You don't know, nobody knows! Forward...!! His next stop is toward the bookshop in the main square! ]

[umbralant]

[Erik can continue to go on his merry way and possibly loot things because there is nothing unusual on the way, nor is there anything to note in the bookshop. Maybe the third time's the charm...???]

[bawcock]

[ Or he's going to end up circling around whatever's important, which is fun too!! Clearly he really doesn't wanna see a body today and, truly, who could blame him??

Okay, making his way to the lover's bridge!! ]

[umbralant]

[Fair enough, because bodies are unpleasant even on the best of days so obviously that's why Erik doesn't find any on the Lover's Bridge! This is what you call luck, probably.]

[bawcock]

[ This is the best kind of luck!! All these suckers looking for mischief and Erik is looking to make mischief, only he's failing spectacularly because he's just thinking about the Luminary. Which he does here, at the Lover's Bridge for reasons no one should question!! ]
