( INVESTIGATION - WEEK 3 )

[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. Mod replies will be sent out at 6:10 PM onwards, so we ask that you hold off having lengthy threads until then just in case there's a corpse smackdab at the entrance of a room. Happy body hunting!

[chie's just gonna. stand there. with her laundry in her arms.]

Uhh, if I'm interrupting anything, I'm just gonna go ahead and get this done...

[she's going toward the laundry room itself now? y'all???]

[nowyouseeit]

[damn it, he's been caught. Percy better be grabbing his left shoulder too or else Kaito will be wincing in pain]

[he sighs, resigned, and nods apologetically at Chie]

You're one to talk, Mr. Fire Bug Fighter.

Who told you?

[lohengrins]

[ he is, don't worry. but he's this close to taking him by the ear so don't try it! ]

Comparing yourself to me? I know what I'm doing. I've dedicated my life to this – it's not the first time I've encountered creatures such as these and it won't be the last. What can you say for yourself, hm?

You were reckless. I need to see the rest of your injuries; I highly doubt they're limited to this.

As for your question, ha: guess. You're not stupid.

[nowyouseeit]

[tilts his chin up defiantly, like a teen talking back to a parent]

So what if it was a little reckless? We get nothing by risking nothing. And I'm not helpless, even if I don't fight monsters for a living.

[he's Kaitou Kid dad he does what he wants!!1]

[. . . and at that last statement, he just turns his head away with a 'tch']

[lohengrins]

[ he squares his shoulders like a parent scolding a teen! ]

Do you understand the gravity of our situation? You could have died — and now you're burdened with injuries that you may never recover from. Your life isn't worth a few clues for the rest of us, idiot!

[ suddenly, he stops. his eyes dart to the side as he takes the time to listen to their surroundings. ]

...Something's happening. We need to go.

[nowyouseeit]

Saving lives is worth any risk!

[he snaps voice rising, words taut like a drawstring]

[nowyouseeit]

[-- he catches himself after, once again looking away. and then Percy reminds him of what day it is and he draws in a sharp breath. this place has made him hate Fridays]

. . . right. Lets go. I'll let you look me over later.
