"We can try and get the first file without deleting it this time, right? I'm going to go... investigate."

> anything in the criminal man's deathroom?

[PointMaid]

...Is there another copy?

...I'm doubting my basic skills, man.

[Billy5545]

"Uh, I wonder if there's anything inside this toy."

[Zanreo]

"Corrupted? Jeez, only one of these files are working... is there even a way to restore this?"

[Zanreo]

>check file data of file 3 - when did it get created, and corrupted?

[LavenderDream]

>carefully disassemble the dolls and remove the cameras. (wingedcatgirl)
The miniature camera breaks upon extraction.

> anything in the criminal man's deathroom? (Magolor)
There are small, footprint shaped puddles near Lance's body. There is also a large metal ball sitting next to his body.

> Take an even closer look at the opening to catch a glimpse of any item inside (Billy)
You can hear beeping from the inside of the doll. It sounds similar to morse code.
When translated into text, it looks something like this:
... - --- .--. --..-- / .. ..-. / -.-- --- ..- .----. .-. . / .... . .- .-. .. -. --. / - .... .. ... --..-- / -.-- --- ..- / .... .- ...- . / --- - .... . .-. / .--. .-. --- -... .-.. . -- ... .-.-.-

>check file data of file 3 - when did it get created, and corrupted? (Zanero)
The file was created last night at 12:00.

[Billy5545]

"Uhh guys. I don't know what the strange sound is, but maybe you all should know this." Patrick then imitates the Morse beep he heard to the investigators to let them know.

[Zanreo]

"Alright... so seems something happened midnight last night. Goddammit, why did it have to get corrupted..."

"Also, you heard some weird beeping? Could just be it glitching out... or could be morse code or something. Wouldn't know what it means, though...

[Dookie]

“Guys! Guys! I learned Morse code as a test to see if an animal could languages other than English! I've got this! It says…”

”if you hearing this, you have other problems.”

She missed a word or two, but she got the gist of it.

[PointMaid]

...Yeah, like being killed. DAMMIT.

Nice translating, though. I could look it up, I'm sure, probably...

Sorry I've just been... sitting around feeling like a piece of trash for screwing up. Maybe a change of pace will help.

> Go back up to the crime scene and look around to see what you can tell

[Dookie]

Cass starts writing down something.

“So let's look at the evidence. First, there was the metal ball near Lance. Second, there were the wet footprints. Now who here is wet, and would make footprints?”

> Check the shape of the footprints. Are they more human shaped, like Cirno, or more animal shaped, like Patrick?

[PointMaid]

...Well, I might, too. I know I wasn't here last night. But I'll let you compare my tentacles.

> Compare Frankie's tentacles against the footprint puddles

[Billy5545]

"Oh, I know! So we're having a guessing game with our feet now, right!"

> Compare Patrick's footprints against the footprint puddles

[LavenderDream]

> Check the shape of the footprints. Are they more human shaped, like Cirno, or more animal shaped, like Patrick? (Dookie)
The footprints are human-shaped.
> Compare Frankie's tentacles against the footprint puddles (Point)
Frankie's tentacles don't match the footprints.
> Compare Patrick's footprints against the footprint puddles (Billy)
Patrick's footprints don't match the puddles found at the scene.

[PointMaid]

...Hmm. Looks like footprints, but puddle. Is there enough detail tell whether it matches a particular set of shoes or feet, or just general size?

> Is there enough detail tell whether it matches a particular set of shoes or feet, or just general size?

[LavenderDream]

> Is there enough detail tell whether it matches a particular set of shoes or feet, or just general size? (Point)
Just general size.

[Dookie]

“I uh…don't…don't really want to suggest this…but Cirno, I've seen her melt. I've seen her…um…seen her freeze. She's a human who is made of water, I think. I don't think this is enough to kill her, at all, yet, but I want to consider that.”

Did she really want to execute a 5 year old? No…but she might have to.

[PointMaid]

All Frankie's colors fade to white. ...You're right. I've seen it too. But...

> Even if there aren't any features in the puddles that will allow you to tie them to Cirno. Are they about the right size and shape for her to have left?

[Magolor]

While those guys inspect the puddle, Socrates looks at something more substantial.

> INSPECT BALL

[LavenderDream]

> Even if there aren't any features in the puddles that will allow you to tie them to Cirno. Are they about the right size and shape for her to have left? (Point)
They're the right shape, but not the right size.


> INSPECT BALL (Magolor)
There are smudged fingerprints on the side of the ball that isn't covered in blood.

[PointMaid]

...Huh. That's weird.

[Billy5545]

"Yeah. Oh wait, what's that ball? It looks so round." Patrick says after seeing the ball Socrates found.

"So uh, what should we do to the ball?" Patrick further says as he tries to think hard.

[LavenderDream]

"Anyways, it's almost voting time! Let's wrap up those investigations and get to some interrogations shall we?" 

[PointMaid]

What? ...Oh, crap.

Frankie busies herself with > looking around the room for any more evidence they haven't seen

[LavenderDream]

> looking around the room for any more evidence they haven't seen (Point)
You noticed a hole in the vent cover above Lance's bed.
