( 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!

[lohengrins]

Yes. I wake up at dawn, and he only lives a room away.

[ totally not glaring at velvet a little for that comment. ]

I understand how important he is to you — my offer is still open.

[breaksouls]

Neither of you want breakfast, right? Otherwise I'm only cooking for myself and Dave.

[splinten]

I can't eat until I find him.

[Which. Nngh. On one hand, he doesn't want company because he's a terrible wreck. On the other it might be smarter if they come across something to show he wasn't alone and didn't, like. Kill or tamper with a scene?]

If you could help me look, it'd be cool.

[lohengrins]

Leave me something if you can. Try not to poison it.

[ he straightens his shoulders, heads towards the door and turns back to look at dirk. ]

Tell me where we're headed.

[breaksouls]

I'm not making any promises.

[And Velvet will just go about making waffles! Have fun boys.]

[splinten]

See you later, Velvet.

[He gives her a nod and catches up with Percival.]

We should probably scan the motel first. People should have seen him move. Then we can move out into the city.

It'll be nice to see the inevitable crime-scenes first hand anyway.

[lohengrins]

[ he nods his head in response. ]

Understood. I ask that you stand behind me, should anything happen. Something bad is in the air. That much, I can discern.

[splinten]

I can handle myself, dude. Profile had Strifin' on it, remember?

[He's FINE Percival he is a FULLY ADULT sixteen year old child!!]

Anyway, I doubt anyone will kill us in the full light of mornin'.

[lohengrins]

You say this as though anything about our circumstances is predictable. I've seen men killed in broad daylight.

[ he's just SAYING. ]

The dining hall would be a good start. Let's not waste any time.
