( INVESTIGATION - WEEK 1 )

[abhoth]

Promptly at 8:00 AM, both of the Grandfather clocks will begin to ring, the sound traveling to every corner of the motel. All residents will wake up as if it was any other morning. There's the usual hum from the air conditioner units and the sound of harsh wind blowing against the windows. While the sun may not have ever set, the amount of times the Grandfather clock rings makes it clear: it's time to get up and greet the brand new day. However... something seems off. Maybe it's a shiver of cold leaving a trail of frost on your skin or a burning sensation in your chest — but it feels like something is drawing you out of your room and into the outdoor hallways. Where will you go? Welcome to the investigation log! Please put the name of the location your character will be exploring in the subject header. If you plan on grouping up with someone else for a location, we ask that you keep it to 2-3 characters maximum. Once you're all set and ready to rumble, mods will be here to provide evidence if found and set the scene for investigation events. Happy body hunting!

[ SORRY IT'S GOING TO TAKE HIM A MOMENT TO REALISE THAT DAVE IS TALKING TO HIM. ]

My roommate and I are fine. No casualties on our end.

[breaksouls]

I'm fine.

[She glances at Kaiba.]

Do you want some? I'm making crepes.

[parodeity]

[ ooooh, crepes. dave perks up a little and will go to grab some fruit for velvet since she did that with pancakes the other day? ]

[crushcard]

[ He's going to just blink at velvet for a moment because wait, didn't she just threaten to kill him just a couple of days ago.....

and now she's offering pancakes?????

... yeah ok but sure whatever he's just gong to shrug. ] ... Sure. Thanks for the offer.

[ sorry he's not good at saying thank u ]

[breaksouls]

[With that in mind, she makes three crepes. Hers is nutella and strawberry, Dave's is whatever he likes, and one is left plain.]

Any preferences? I'm limited to what they have here, obviously. You can finish it yourself too if you think I'll poison it.

[And to Dave:]

What was your roommate like? Think they murdered someone or...?

[parodeity]

No, we're pretty sure he...

[ YOU KNOW, BIT THE DUST. WAVES HANDS, TIMEY WIMEY SHENANIGANS OCCURRED so.

also dave likes apples. a lot. so probably apples. ]

The other option.

[crushcard]

[ he's... probably going to eat his with maybe a bit of chocolate. just a bit, he doesn't like sweet things all that much /casual shrug.

but he's still paying attention to what dave is saying and you know while he's not surprised that someone bit the dust or got themselves killed, what the fuck, it's only week 1...?

so Seto's going to at least eavesdrop for a bit before the caffeine kicks in and he decides to leave and go see what other people have found. ]

[breaksouls]

Ah. At least the room's less crowded.

[Velvet has very important concerns, clearly.]

I wouldn't mind if someone offed my roommate. Before I get to it, I mean.

[parodeity]

[ WELL KAIBA PICKED A GOOD TIME TO LEAVE, WOW, but dave frowns. ]

Who's your roommate, anyway, I don't think I know?

[ he is not concerned about the right thing here? ]

[breaksouls]

Knoll. You've probably seen him carrying a book or reading a book or something along those lines.

[She pouts slightly.]

I just don't really like sharing a room with an older guy, you know?

[parodeity]

I'd offer to let you room with us, but the hotel staff stole our doorknob 'cause it was evidence.

[ SO THAT'S FUN. ]

[breaksouls]

It's fine. He probably won't last long anyways.

You'll be okay tonight?

[parodeity]

Yeah, probably. Kaito's lookin' for people to take us in, and then it's just...wait for tomorrow. You?

[breaksouls]

Like I said, I'm fine. No one's tried to kill me so far, but I'm sure that'll change tomorrow.
