( 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!

[Akane doesn't have anything useful to add to any of this, so she's just going to hang around being gross and covered in sludge long enough to find out who's dead before heaving a deep, deep sigh and heading off to take a very long shower.

If you want to question her about the weirdness with the pool, feel free to stop her.]

[ungodly]

Was this because of the whispers? Or.. something else. You were buggin'.

[ literally maybe?? ]

[18x0]

It wasn't the whispers. I heard those in addition to the other hallucinations.

[ungodly]

You don't think.. it was the ghost? No, it couldn't be, you said you were like this all week..

[ she puts a pensive finger to her chin. ]

Well.. it's over now, right? At least there's that.

[18x0]

It didn't seem like possession, anyway. I was in control of my actions, just not my perceptions.

[She sighs again, glancing around at the people gathered in the lobby.]

It's honestly very hard to see any bright sides to the current situation.

[ungodly]

I can agree with that.

[ things were looking pretty bleak now. heather released a long sigh. ]

I doubt you'll be targeted again, but we'll figure out why it happened. I don't want anyone messing with my mind, either.

[wristbands]

Hey... you okay?

Besides, you know—[she just gestures to akane]—the obvious.

[18x0]

I'm fine. Just... very tired. I didn't sleep last night.

[ALSO THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF MURDER???]

[wristbands]

You're not alone, I think.

The sludge—it didn't hurt you, did it? Or do anything else weird?

[18x0]

Not as far as I can tell. Who knows in the long run, though...
