Rating: PG-13, warn if going higher
Summary: A mingle log for the Psych event - Welcome to Santa Barbara Comic Con! This would be an absolutely terrible time to get mixed up in a horrible murder!
The Story:

Welcome to Santa Barbara! Nicknamed the American Riviera, it's a cozy seaside city that can often feel like a small town. And you get to be here during its most exciting weekend - the Santa Barbara Comic Con!

Whether you come from out of town or are a Santa Barbara native, there is plenty to do in the convention center and surrounding city. Maybe you are there to cosplay, attend panels, or meet your favorite comic book creator. You might even be a guest yourself, be it a well-known illustrator or an easily overlooked character actor.

If conventions aren't your thing, there are plenty of other activities around town, whether you want to run one of the food trucks down by the pier or take advantage of the tourists with expensive tchotchkes. You could use the weekend to pick up extra hours at your comfortable pharmaceutical company job. If inclined, you can help out convention security as one of Santa Barbara's finest, the totally and completely 100% competent officers of the SBPD who do not at all whatsoever rely on a psychic to help solve a staggering percentage of crimes.

There's more to Santa Barbara than just surf and sun, though. You might be more drawn to the seedy underbelly of the city and make your living smuggling drugs, stealing cars, and robbing department stores. In which case, the convention could prove to be a convenient cover for your clandestine operations!

No matter what, you can look forward to a relaxing weekend of beautiful beaches, fun cosplay opportunities, and delicious street food. All you have to do is ignore Santa Barbara's disturbingly high murder rate.

Easier said than done, though, since day two will bring about, you guessed it - death!

When a fanmade, life-sized statue of the coolest new superhero, the Blue Revenger, falls and kills one of the convention's headlining guests, some assume it's an accident while others suspect something far more sinister. Where do you stand? Are you one of the police officers on the case, or would you rather offer your assistance as a consultant? Will you ignore the yellow tape and enjoy your weekend? Or are you just going to take advantage of the chaos to help nudge the murder rate up a tad on your own?

Are you destined to be the next victim, or will you be one who survives... under Santa Barbara skies?

The kid jumps with a startled cry.

"Aaah!" And then, paradoxically: "Shhh, you're gonna get me caught!"

The shout just now was way louder than Nageki's mild comment.

"There's no one else here at the moment." Still, Nageki steps around the booth to crouch near the kid, tucking the coat tail out of side in the process. Now they are both hidden and can whisper to one another. He gives the kid an expectant look and waits for his question to get an answer.
bigheaded: (are there crimes you've never committed?)

He huffs out a breath, grudgingly satisfied by the concealment and the decreased volume.

"Yes. It's uncomfortable. But it's all going to be worth it soon. You see, the police questioned most of the people who were there at the time of the accident, but they missed one key witness."

Dib rubs his hands together gleefully as he intones with ominous theatricality:

"The victim."

This isn't the best plan Nageki has ever heard. On the bright side, it isn't worse then some of the plans his friends have come up with the past either. "The victim is dead."

"Exactly!"

Dib holds up his smartphone. He already has an EVP-detecting app pulled up.

"I'm going to talk to the ghost."

"...Ah." Nageki can't claim to be an expert on the supernatural, but he'd thought ghosts and technology didn't tend to work well together. Would a cell phone app really work with a ghost?

He draws his knees up to his chin, trying to get a little more comfortable. He asks curiously, "There isn't a way to speak with one during the day?"
