( 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!

[ okay BACK UP BACK UP BACK UP

NOPE

NOPE NOPE

NNNNNNOOOOOOPPE


is he just leaving the body there to ollie out? yes. yes he is.

BYE. ]

[fauxtetsu]

[ Well that was sure an almost run in, he was on his way to the dining hall. But anyway, he catches Ryou by the shoulders when he runs by. ]

Oh! Ryou, what's wrong?

[forlease]

[ It takes a second for his brain to catch up with the rest of him. Because his initial first thought is THEY'VE COME FOR ME TOO-- but it's just Nagasone, who is actually hopefully not here to kill him. ]

Th- th- there's a body. In there. [ GESTURES ]

[fauxtetsu]

[ LORD... Okay, he kinda gets that but now he's going to pat Ryou on the shoulders to calm him down. ]

Alright, I'll go look— Hey!

[ He saw some faceless dudes in the corner of his eye going in the direction Ryou gestured toward. ]

[forlease]

[ He's physically a bit calmer - keyword being "a bit" - but he's speaking more quickly and verbally tripping over himself. ]

I don't know who it was, I didn't know them, I just went to check on them and--


[ He's worked up too much again sorry dadsone. ]

[fauxtetsu]

[ Time to dad, he has a feeling the body's handled, unfortunately. ]

First, calm down, deep breaths. It's... It's fine, we have tomorrow.

[ If we don't have d day, we always have t day to check the body. ]

If you don't know them, any notable features? Hair color, body type...

[forlease]

[ Okay, he can manage step one, at least. Breathe. ]

Um... Dark hair, and he wore a blue coat? I'm sorry, I didn't get a very good look.

[fauxtetsu]

It's alright, you did nothing wrong.

[ Dads dads dads the shocked kid. ]

Blue coat, dark hair... I think they go by Hibiki? On the bulletin board, not for sure about that. But we'll know soon enough.

[forlease]

[ Nagasone is too good for this tbh. I'm sorry for this sensitive child. ]

Right... [ Okay NOW he's actually breathing and calming down? For real this time. ] Right.

Still, that's another person who's gone.

[ AND HE TOUCHED A DEAD BODY DAD HOLY FUCK ]

[fauxtetsu]

[ It's alright, he's got a tsun crybaby son back home. ]

Yes, it is. I'm sorry you had to deal with that.

[ Someone keep Ryou away from body investigation tomorrow. Until then, he'll keep the kid company until he's more calm and less a corpse-touched wreck. ]

[abhoth]

[ Well, okay.

A faceless staff member walks in, looks at the scene and does this: ¯\_(    )_/¯

He takes the body from the crime scene with the scalpel. He's outtie until tomorrow! ]

[splinten]

[DIRK AND PERCIVAL ALSO SHOW UP BECAUSE WHY NOT and see the body being removed. And thus all three get to witness Dirk stop, realize the body isn't blond, and say,]

Oh thank fuck.

[



wait a second]

Shit, Hibiki's dead.
