( 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!

You mean you don't find the blood on walls comforting?

[well, in that case]

What about your room? If Mira wakes up before night falls, you can always kick her out.

Oh, was that blood? Here I thought someone just really hated strawberry jam and wanted everyone to know it.

[Oh great, her bedthings are going to get all bloody - and just when she was just getting used to having a bed at all! But fine, her compassion manages to win out against her desire to keep possible corpses out of her room.]

She can stay in my room, sure. I'll go pick some herbs from the garden for her pain if she wakes up. [aka weed] At this rate, I should just keep a whole stock of them on me at all time.

... Herbs from the garden?

[bownthisway]

[waving a hand] Yeah, there's not much there that seems to be useful, but I did recognize dreamwillow. Back home, we use it to help with pain - I gave some to Jake and Andersen last week too for their injuries.

Well, Mira is an adult and capable of making her own decisions. If she wants your... dreamwillow, I'm sure she'll be very happy.
