My Head's Underwater

My Head's Underwater is the second case in the province of Rocksfellow, created by Tuxedo!. It is the second case in Bumberborough Bay, a town in Rocksfellow.

Plot
Chief Connie Tolentino was curious about the arson Christian Johnson witnessed. Thinking back to Kiki Wanda’s interrogation, the chief ordered Officer Phoebe Yates to go with the player to the site of the arson. In the ruins of the cabin, they found a woman hanging upside down from a tree branch. Her whole body was tied up, except for her head which was in a barrel full of water. Phoebe immediately identified the victim to be Fatima Grande, a barista. Phoebe and the player carefully removed the corpse and shipped it to Ferdinand Amado to start the murder investigation.

Ferdinand told the two that the victim drowned. With her head dipped in water and her whole body tied up so she would not be able to tug free or surface from the water, the victim lost oxygen. He also determined that the victim was tied up by a double constrictor knot, meaning that the killer knew how to tie knots.

The two eventually reached the café the victim worked in and to her apartment before incriminating Emma Campbell, the café manager, to be the killer.

After insisting that she did not kill Fatima, Emma gave in after Phoebe exposed every lie she said. She was agitated when she caught Fatima stealing from the cash register of the café. After letting her off, she caught Fatima stealing again and again, almost seventeen times. This almost ended Emma up in debt. Emma confronted her, telling her to stop stealing from the cash register. After Fatima spat in her face, she realized that she could not change her mind. She took a nearby coffee pot, smashed her head, dragged her all the way to the ruins of the cabin, submerged her head in a barrel of seawater, and tied her up so she would not escape. Phoebe was disgusted from the notion that Emma thought that the lack of money meant she needed to take a human life, so she shipped Emma to court.

Judge Exodus Allegri asked for Emma’s statement in court. Emma pleaded guilty. However, she said that going in debt was going to put her in a lifetime of misery anyway. Judge Exodus made clear that no intentional murder is ever justified, so he sentenced Emma to 20 years in prison.

Alden Holmes came to the player after Emma’s trial, convinced that she was hiding something in her confession. Emma denied everything upon interrogation. Later, Alden and the player found proof that Fatima had not been stealing the money in front of Emma. Emma herself was shocked at this revelation, and cried when she realized what she did to an innocent Fatima.

Phoebe and the player also came back to the crime scene to investigate the arson that took place weeks prior. A symbol of Richards Production Studios lay in the wreck, so the two went to Gary Richards to interrogate him. Gary said that he had nothing to do with it, although there was one thing. A woman went to him while he was taking a walk by the beach near the burned cabin, and told him not to go near the wreck, or they would kill her. The woman was later identified to be a pensioner named June Perkins, living on a small, earthy island off the coast of Bumberborough Bay.

Phoebe and Alden later reported their findings to the chief. The chief ordered the player to investigate the island, as if she was in a rush.
