[voice forever] Second Cup: The Investigation

[zach_is_with_me]

I'm starting to think of keeping some kind of investigation record in our journal, Zach. Especially now that we're about to meet all the townspeople! Of course, with the community the way it is, I doubt we'd be able to lock it completely. But that's fine; we just need to be careful with what we say. Then, it won't matter even if people start asking

An upside-down peace sign?

[zach_is_with_me]

That's right. Have you ever seen anything like it?

[wasbored]

Can't say I have. It's curious though.

I suppose the common thought would be that it would represent being pro-war and anti-peace, right? Of course not knowing the details, it probably means something else entirely or perhaps nothing at all and just meant to confuse you.

[zach_is_with_me]

That's a possibility. It doesn't quite fit with the criminal's profile, though. He just has woman issues; there's nothing pointing towards an anarchist personality yet.

[wasbored]

Women's issues? It seems unlikely then. Definitely some other meaning to it. Was it put anywhere in particular?

[zach_is_with_me]

It's tattooed on the killer's back.

[wasbored]

The killer's back? Let's see-- gang symbol, a cult, some sort of sentimental meaning or representation of something else. Person with their arms up, a tree, pain, being trapped, something of sexual nature...

I suppose you'd have to get more to figure it out.

If Light were in this canon AND if York didn't have mental trauma, the game would be over so quickly

[zach_is_with_me]

[It's certainly looking sexual, from what little he's seen.]

Did you tell me how old you are, Light?

Best team ever.

[wasbored]

I don't believe so. I'm 17.

But then there'd be no plot, so... 8/

[zach_is_with_me]

Do you have any careers in mind?

True 8/

[wasbored]

I've thought about becoming a detective.

[zach_is_with_me]

Good. I was going to suggest that. Do you know anything about criminal profiling?

[wasbored]

When you make social and psychological assessments based on how the crime was committed and the nature of it, right? I've looked into it.

[zach_is_with_me]

That's right. I specialise in that field.

[wasbored]

That's fascinating. How long have you been in it?

[zach_is_with_me]

It's been a few years now.

I know a good book on the subject. I could lend it to you, if we find a way to get it to your world.
