yuggoth | ( INVESTIGATION

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!

Who's the victim?

[ why are yall out here.... murdering.... smh ]

Jason Todd.

[he didn't even discover the body, Kaito plz]

[but he's here, delivering the news in an even voice, even as he rubs his now-red knuckles]

Wasn't he your roommate?

[ he frowns. ]

That's... unfortunate.

[drops one arm to his side, raking his non-injured hand through his hair]

He was. Unfortunate doesn't even begin to cover it.

[he's tense, like a tightly wound ball of stress]

I didn't get a chance to speak to him.

[ because some people chose the right kyuu character to get cr with

jay glances towards jason's body in the room then back to kaito. ]

Did you know he wasn't in your room before curfew? Although I suppose we'll be asking these questions of you tomorrow.

[WOW FRANCY, WOW!!]

He was in the room after curfew. All three of us agreed that we weren't gonna break any rules this early in the game.

[folds his arms]

He just wasn't there when we woke up this morning.

... That's interesting.

[ he has like a million more questions to ask but. yeah that can all wait til tomorrow. kaito's probably like, sad and stuff. ]

I won't bother you with too many questions then. You're probably tired.

[wryly]

Believe me, tired is the very last thing I"m feeling right now.

[try angry]

We'll figure out who did it.

[ and then they'll get executed for it. he does not say that part out loud. ]

Hey.

[ D.Va was ready to get out of the room — she already has her clothes draped over her arm. She won't be staying in that room, now knowing what happened. ]

We'll find out who did it, you know? Me, Perc, and Marty woke up after those stupid gongs went off and ... I wish we knew what happened. We wouldn't have —

[ She sounds apologetic. ]

...Sorry.

[yeah who would want to sleep in a room where a dead body was found??]

[quiet for a moment, before he nods at her]

Thanks.

I've got a lot of questions for you guys, but I imagine I'll be askin' 'em tomorrow, so. . . I'll hold off for now.

Let us know then, yeah? Maybe our answers help line up with someone else's testimonials. It'll be EZ to get the right person if we all figure out a timeline!

I've already got a timeline starting in my head.

[he lifts a hand and taps his temples]

The body was still warm, yeah? He couldn't have been dead for a few hours at the most.

I didn't touch him, but — Perc seemed to indicate as such.

[ However, she was dismissive because she shuddered at the thought. ]

I'm sorry, but... I'm going to write the stuff I remembered down so we can go over it tomorrow, ok?

Er-- yeah, that's a good idea. I imagine everyone is gonna want to ask you guys questions, since the body is. . . uh.

In your room.

[and that's kind of. unfortunate??]

...Yeah. OTL... just our luck. We'll find out what happened. There has to be a way to find out the truth.

Jason.

[ it's said a bit softly, as though reality has kicked in again. damn. almost like people think this is....a game. ]

I'm sorry you all were the ones to discover the body.

[ well, realistically SOMEONE had to. but being the first ones to do so is yikes. ]

I feel sorrier for him. He didn't deserve this.

[ a brief sigh. ]

Be sure to remain cautious. That's all.

I will. And now I'm sure everyone who wasn't taking things seriously before will do so now.

[ so at least more people will be on guard. maybe. ]

(reply from suspended user)

...I hope we can at least provide him with a proper burial after we discover the culprit's identity.

[ he nods his head with understanding. ]

The residents of Room 112 didn't take the news especially well. If you owe any living being your condolences..it would be them.

Marks around his neck. Likely a case of strangulation.

The body is still there and mostly untouched, if you need to look at it.
