Second investigation

[letsplayamod]

[Friday has come once again, Typhon’s deadline for the carrot of a motive dangled in front of their faces. Temptations abound and, when the godlings stir in the morning, the air feels thick in a way it hasn’t before. Thunder rumbles outside and the sound of sheets of rain pour down but only ends up pounding against Athena’s protective barrier. No one could ask for a finer umbrella.

There's no more monstrous cyclops threatening your morning. The horses were corralled back to their stables to wind down from the frightening excitement of last Wednesday. From then on, Typhon's threats have once more grown quiet. Everything seems to be... fine.

Still, something feels off.]

[So, uh. Anything off in the eatery? If someone were beelining there for some reason.]

[letsplayamod]

[The Eatery itself is all good!]

[sweetsynergy]

[What calming, non-suspicious phrasing! But assuming that means we're clear here, how's the kitchen look.]

[letsplayamod]

[Also fine!

The coffeemaker is still dead though.]

[liedol]

Whoa-!

[ Ai is here! She also promptly jumps like ten feet once Vanity walks in and nearly spills her tea everywhere. ]

[sweetsynergy]

Hh-!

[Yeah, that startles her for a second.]

Christy Christmas you need a bell or something, holy shit-

[liedol]

S-sorry...

[ She offers a wobbly smile. ]

I, um. Think we're probably all kind of on edge, huh?

[sweetsynergy]

[A quick beat.]

[And with what would be a perfectly straight face for anyone seeing it except Ai-]

No, I was perfectly calm until you nearly scalded me. Perfectly.
