( INVESTIGATION - WEEK 3 )
 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! ic rulebook | locations | statuses | room assignments private conversations | ic profiles | graveyard | full navigation |

keeping her hand on the door, she turns and raises her voice.]
Hey! If someone can hear me, I need light!
[have to keep an eye on this body, after all.]

no subject
Sitting in the single chair in the room, you'll find another slumped over body. With the light, it's obvious his bloody shoes are an area of concern, but the intestines that are laying in the singular bowl in front of the body.
Maybe y'all should look further? ]
no subject
stepping inside carefully, she moves towards the table, looking at the intestines in the candlelight. is it just those guts that have been removed, or is anything else in the bowl?
she'll leave the body to Kaiba, keeping her back to him so he can't see the look on her face as she considers something.]
no subject
on a side note, he'll be helpful and hold the candle a little bit higher so that a little bit more of the dark room is illuminated, somehow.
is the body still (mostly) intact, aside from the bloody shoes and the (probable) guts being removed. who is this body??? ]
no subject
The body itself, however... is somewhat intact. Somewhat. The face is twisted beyond recognition, features deformed into a spiral that caves inward and blood dripping out of their ears. But, not all hope is lost. From the general height, hairstyle and clothes — they'll identify their mystery corpse as Marty Mikalski.]
no subject
how fresh is it? this should be enough to guess how long ago he died.]
no subject
It's super fresh. There is still lingering warmth in Marty's blood and entrails, as if they haven't been out of his body for too long. Yum.]
no subject
Kaiba's just confirming here are no weapons around? Just the body and the bizarre set up. ]
no subject
He was only just killed, Kaiba.
[meaning that the killer cannot be far.]
If you're in this room...don't follow.
[she infuses the words with as much coldness and authority as someone six centuries old can.]
no subject
But the effects of the Dark Room will become intolerable the longer they remain here. It's best if they leave now.]
no subject
he does not need to know to know that you tasted the blood, quer.also, he's going to instinctively bristle because he's never really dealt well with people trying to force authority on him, but survival instinct is way more important right now so he's not going to protest too much.
... there doesn't seem to be anyone else here, just based on what he can see from the limited candlelight? the killer must have escaped somehow. ]
