( 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!

ROOM 102

[abhoth]

[As if the explosion wasn't alarming enough, the occupants of Room 102 are getting an additional surprise. Namely, one of the beds in their room is completely empty. It has been stripped entirely, pillows and sheets stolen, leaving only the mattress behind.]

[crimsonsparrow]

[Suzaku can't help but stop and look back too. CAUSE, LIKE, EXPLOSIONS? Holy shit.]

It could be dangerous. It would be best for us to wait until the commotion has died down, I think. I'm sure we'll know what's happened soon enough.

[nowyouseeit]

[NATURALLY, he is on high alert, every muscle in his body tense. his arm is in his sling, as usual, and he's tugging at the material. fidgeting]

I don't know, but there's no way it meant anything good.

Stay close.

[wristbands]

—Across the hall? I think?

[18x0]

Do you think... the Bomber...?

[She's just as tense, glancing around nervously. WHAT ARE WE GOING TO FIND...]

[abhoth]

[It is a mystery.

But while checking the room out, Violet might notice smudges of blood on the ground. Starting from about a feet from the stripped bed, they lead all the way to the door.]
