( 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!

SECOND FLOOR OUTDOOR HALLWAY

[abhoth]

[The meta text will have mercy upon all of our souls tonight and say that someone should check out Room 116's door.]

[ungodly]

[ heather wasn't really feeling up to straying too far from the motel today. as such, her investigation is limited to the 2nd floor hallway of the motel. what's going on up here? ]

[thawedheart]

[yukina's room is right next door, so here she is

...she's wearing one of akira's hoodies with the hood up]

POOL + OUTDOOR AREA

[crushcard]

[ since it's the first place closest to his own room... ]

lounge

[disinterested]

['Sup, anything fishy/bloody/etc. here...]

laundry room

[nowyouseeit]

[making his way to the laundry room! his right arm is in a sling so he has his clothes bundled under his left]

[lohengrins]

Oi! You!

[rextenebrae]

[ ... And he'll be accompanying him quietly. Don't mind him.

He can only hope nothing is really out here, though. ]

[nowyouseeit]

[oh it's dad]






[. . . WALKS FASTER]

[wristbands]

[hey it's been a whlie since she did anything remotely like laundry, how convenient]

—Is something happening?

[crushcard]

[ that's okay he'll get the barest of acknowledgments considering that you know, he seems like a pretty ok person!

safety in numbers and all that, ha. ]

[fauxtetsu]

[ What the crab said— I mean, Girge. It's a long story involving Mabel. ]

lobby

[pinesfortruth]

[he's breaking the dark room habit by heading to the lobby. he also looks like he is about to fall asleep where he stands and if there is no blood he's gonna lie down on the ground tbh]

[ninjay]

[ what's up dipper, jay is walking over to you to also check stuff out! ]

dark room.

[blacktailed]

[if Dipper won't do it, someone has to go check this out. especially if things are happening in their hallway...

she opens the door to look inside.]

[nowyouseeit]

G'mornin'! I'm trying to run from a lecture!

[spare him DPS dad]

[abhoth]

[ So, since our metatext was so kind, the group is able to see that there's something bit fishy about the doorknob of Room 116.

Take a closer look? ]

kitchen

[willremember]

[ may as well grab breakfast too and kill 2 birds with 1 stone ]

[lohengrins]

[ you're in an arm sling, kid! you can only go so far! percival wastes no time gripping kaito by the shoulder, only to then (irritably) whisper: ]

I already know what happened, so don't bother. The rest of your injuries better have been appropriately tended to or else I'll make sure they are. Humph. Did you truly think you could hide something like this?

Fool. It's a miracle that you're even alive right now.

[abhoth]

[ Luckily for you, you're both in the clear! Unless there's someone else who wants to take a dip in the sludge of the pool... ]

[abhoth]

[ Excuse me, fellas. Metatext coming through. Everything looks good in the laundry room. ]

[ungodly]

.. Hey, guys. Just another manic Friday.

[ wish it was dieday. anyway, heather notices the purported doorknob fishiness. she peeks close to it to see what's up. is it something with the lock? something on it? ]

first floor indoor hallway

[bownthisway]

[At 8:00 AM precisely, the door to room 102 slams open and Aloy comes tumbling out of it, cursing. She grabs her knifespear and looks around frantically for anyone nearby, particularly those in the neighboring room if they're out as well.]

Did anyone else hear that scream?!

[wristbands]

[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???]
