( INVESTIGATION - WEEK 4 )

[abhoth]

Promptly at 7:59 AM, 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, there's no reason to doubt it's time to get up and greet the brand new day. Despite the usual cold clinging to the residents' skin, it seems like any other Friday morning. Or, at least, it does — until it suddenly isn't. A large, deafening explosion will rock the motel seconds before 8:00 AM, drowning out the sound of the grandfather clocks and threatening to break the building in half. Those on the motel's west wing will feel the tremors with greater strength, their ears ringing from the volume of the explosion, and just when the walls and ceilings begin to crack... A translucent shimmer coats every room from top to bottom, almost like a shield to keep the structure from falling apart. Now, it's time to see what surprises lay in wait for the survivors. 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. Once you're all set and ready to rumble, mods will be here to provide evidence if found and set the scene for investigation events. Happy body hunting!

SECOND FLOOR HALLWAY

[pinesfortruth]

[i am just going to continue from this because they're right there and i dont wanna make a new toplevel. anyway once that's checked dipper just looks gormless at dirk before heading out into the hallway]

What? There was a body last week. Someone needs to be on ... corpse duty. What am I even saying.

[splinten]

[He sticks close to Dipper in the hallway, glancing around because you know. Stuff. He has the look of someone ready to Fight to keep Dipper safe.]

We're all on corpse duty. Stop temptin' the Gods of Irony with goin' to that room.

[abhoth]

[There's not much in the way of blood and destruction here, but the walls are still looking a little beaten up from the force of the explosion.

There's something small and green sticking to the floor, near the middle of the hallway.]

[pinesfortruth]

Irony was the one week I didn't check it out, and someone died in there. This is--hm?

[dipper is a Junior Detective and notices the green thing, immediately zooming to it. WHAT IS THIS]

There's something over here!!

[dipper don't act excited it could be a bug]

[splinten]

Dipper—

[GOD WHY he follows quick after Dipper IT COULD BE DEADLY MONSTER SHIT???]

[abhoth]

[It's



a leaf.

Amazing.]

[pinesfortruth]

[dramatically, as he holds up the leaf]

A clue.

[...]

Or someone didn't wipe their shoes before walking back from the garden. Whichever.

[splinten]

[Fucking iconic. Dirk's tense muscles relax, if only a fraction.]

Or both.

[HE GLANCES AROUND FOR MORE CLUES or possible hazards to Dipper. If not he wants to like. Make sure about explosions and find out who is dead.]

[abhoth]

[Nothing else in the area! And if they boys try to run off with the leaf, they're going to get mugged by a faceless man. Sorry.]

[pinesfortruth]

[after he has been mugged for his leaf (rude?)]

The motel partially exploded, but they want to take the leaf? Seriously?

[splinten]

So much for a nature book.

[pinesfortruth]

Do you think that's what they're going to do with it?

[do faceless men collect leaves]

[splinten]

[...]

Sure. Let's believe in that.

[pinesfortruth]

Hey, you never know. Evil faceless henchmen who work for no pay probably need hobbies too.

[splinten]

Maybe they scrapbook.

[pinesfortruth]

Consider: macaroni art.

[splinten]

I can buy 'em as arts-and-crafts people.

[pinesfortruth]

I just really want to see them try to make those macaroni self-portrait thing they ask you to do in kindergarten.

[dipper that's just mean being faceless is a condition]

[splinten]

Maybe we can request that.
