( 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!

['Sup, his favourite person here.

He just holds his hands up in defence as he follows the blood, glancing back at Mabel.]

For the record, I didn't do it.

[...]

... Or that.

[Welp.]

[abhoth]

[There's a message written next to L'Arachel's body. It reads:]

ǝɔᴉʇsnɾ

[pinesforyou]

[A good footnote, Girge, but Mabel's too distracted by the lack of screaming about dem tiddies]

[She rushes over and starts trying to free her body]

L--- L'Arachel's hurt really bad! We... We have to help her!

L'Arachel! L'Arachel! Can you hear me?

[Just give her a sec it'll sink in]

[disinterested]

[Since he's pretty sure L'Arachel is super dead, he'll ignore Mabel for now, instead pulling out paper so that he can copy down the message, as close to the handwriting style as he can.]

[pinesforyou]

L'Arachel!! Pull it together! You have so much more yelling to do!!

[Pulls the wood out!!! Or attempts to, anyway!]

[the music when Mufasa dies plays in the bg because fuck you Courtney]

[disinterested]

[...]

Move aside, Mabel.

[pinesforyou]

Hey! If you don't wake up I'm going to rip his shirt off!

[But by now she can no longer deny the fact that l'Arachel is in fact, deda. She'll move aside miserably and let Girge use his manly muscles. She's probably bloody by now anyway]

You'll get her down, right? We can't just.... Leave her like that.

[disinterested]

[Um, please don't rip his shirt off??]

Yeah.

[If that's what she wants, at least.

Girge takes a moment to quickly sketch the scene of the crime, just in case, since he doubts that the staff are going to, like, re-spear L'Arachel to the wall at tomorrow's trial.

Assuming that Mabel is far enough to avoid getting any more blood on her (because he'll wait), he moves L'Arachel's hand away before pulling out the stake.]

[pinesforyou]

[it's to revive l'Arachel from the dead, suck it up????]

[She does back up to give him space, watching quietly (for once)

[disinterested]

[Once L'Arachel is free (and still super dead), he lays her on the ground.]

The staff will collect her body afterwards. I'm going to take note of the rest of the scene.

[This and Apollo's, that is. Might as well sketch down the rest of it before it's gone. Glancing at Mabel, he begins to move.]

Want to come?

[pinesforyou]

[it's burned into her mid, so she can sketch it later]

..Y... Yeah. We have to find out who did this.
