( INVESTIGATION - WEEK 2 )

[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. We'll be tagging in with the mod account at 6:10 PM EST to give everyone time to jump in. Happy body hunting!

Good.. morning.

lounge

[thawedheart]

[checking this room out since a spooky message was left here on monday

please let her bad feeling be wrong]

[nowyouseeit]

[coming up behind her, greeting her with a yawn and a lazy wave of his hand]

Mornin'. . .

kitchen

[breaksouls]

[Velvet is constantly in the kitchen and she just wants those knives back, please.]

[lohengrins]

You really want those knives, huh?

storage room

[parodeity]

[ dave's gonna check here. for some reason his entire left hand is bandaged today, rip. in addition to his broken fingers ig?

[inventurous]

[ violet had the same idea, but doesn't have any bandages because she's not dumb like dave. ]

I'd say good morning, but...

[ it doesn't feel good? ]

grocery store

[ninjay]

[ jay will be checking out the grocery store! what's up. ]

[rextenebrae]

[ Well, hopefully either way Knoll will hope to evade wherever there is a mess, and so that's probably why he's making he's also making his way here for a quick, quiet visit.

Hi Jay don't mind him. ]

Botanical Garden

[vitamin_a]

[Sure, why not. Let's see if there's something around here, as unlikely as it may be]

[abhoth]

[Nah. Nothing out of place in the gardens. You're safe for now, buddy.]

[willremember]

This is probably the nicest place here.

Big Belly Diner

[crimsonsparrow]

[Suzaku comes here every day anyway so might as well see if anything's unusual.]

[abhoth]

[Does a corpse count as unusual? Because Vincent Machen is currently on the ground, and it doesn't seem like he's stirring.

The rest of the diner isn't faring any better, considering stools have been knocked over left and right.]

the dark room

[pinesfortruth]

[Dipper will be doing this every single investigation until he finds something ive decided this]

[fauxtetsu]

[ dipper why

but also not!dad is here too because kids need supervision. like if the room eats him or something. ]

laundry room

[disinterested]

[prances around here

not literally but you know what i mean]

[abhoth]

[The Laundry room looks the same as it always does. Thank goodness.]

gas station

[perceptions]

[BECAUSE MODS SAID SO-- I mean.

Mira is out at the gas station. Will there be anybody else here? Will there be a corpse?? It's a mystery.]

[abhoth]

[No corpse, but the glow from the locked door seems particularly brighter on this morning.

Someone is also desperately banging on said door. Maybe Mira should, uh, try to pry it open for them?]

dining hall

[forlease]

[ What is even the point of being here if there's no food. ]

[abhoth]

[ The first thing visible is someone who seemingly has fallen asleep eating breakfast! They're like, face first in their meal, I guess?

Will you look further, maybe wake them up? ]

clinic

[parodeity]

[ so dave and vi wander into town to check shit there. hey clinic what's up? ]

This blows. [ MURDER? THE CLINIC? WHAT DO YOU MEAN, DAVE. ]

[inventurous]

[ to the clinic they go. ]

Something in specific, or just in general?

danger zone plays rapidly

[ungodly]

[ heather arrives in the lobby after soup/sludgegate happens, tentative and wary but full of soupy goodness. ]

Okay, we all know what today is. I didn't find anything, but I've got a feeling other people probably did.

[ little does she know how much everyone found.. ]

So spill, and don't spare the details, okay? No matter how, uh, nitty gritty.

[digestion]

There's a dead guy in the diner.
