( 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!

[ i can't believe that there's three girls here.... with soup ]

It's morning 'cause we all woke up.

[ shrug.

but upon seeing akane, hajime will

just kick her shoes off and jump in after her, without saying a word. yea ]

[ungodly]

[ heather takes a sip of her SOUP ]

It settled a little. We should figure out a better way to store it nex—

[ ok wait what the fuck why is hajime jumping in the pool, why is akane in there, what is happening? heather does not like this. she nearly drops her bowl but manages to sit it on one of the sweet little outdoorsy tables before running to the edge of the pool. she pointedly does not get in it. ]

What the hell are you guys doing?! That's, like, Cthulu shit or something!

[18x0]

[Actually it's funny that Hajime would jump into the pool after Akane, considering that she was just about to get out of there.

Boy, she is just covered in soup gross sludge after spending all night in the pool.]

Don't worry, it's not dangerous. Just disgusting.

[blacktailed]

[we're at soup

Quer by contrast raises her eyebrow, watching Hajime run in, and then lift up her bowl to drink some of the breakfast meal. what, she's not going in sludge without a reason. and yet, her eyes narrow. if Hajime starts screaming she's going to pull her out of that...

or Akane could reassure everyone about it.]

Which makes you being in it weird, but as long as it's not dangerous...

[join soup group y/n]

[g101]

[ this is a group. no one gets covered in sludge alone. hajime's quiet for a moment before

dumping a bunch of sludge outside the pool. okay. useful. ]

It's disgusting? It is? Then why were you in here?

[ ...notably she's not following akane out yet. ]

[ungodly]

Dude, I am so done today already.

[ they just want SOUP why did this have to happen? she's wrapping a napkin she had for her meal around her hand and reaching forward to offer a hand to akane, and then to hajime. ]

No more sludgebaths, okay? Can't be good for your pores.

[18x0]

[She accepts the offered hand gratefully, seating herself at the edge of the pool and trying to shake some of the sludge out of her hair. It's not very effective.]

I was... not in my right mind up until just now. I spent all night in there. In fact, I wasted the entire week on hallucinating for some reason.

[She's not very happy about that.]

[blacktailed]

What did you hallucinate about? Might be related to the reason.

[at least we're all getting out of the sludge...]
