( INVESTIGATION - WEEK 5 )

[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. 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!

[Quer told her where to look if something happened to her. Well - it did, and after Yukina returns from the garden, she'll be spotted heading to her room, then exiting with a bundle of papers.

She doesn't stop until she makes it to the bulletin board, looks through them, and picks out one which is addressed to everyone.

There are some others - in particular, she's holding onto one addressed to her - and she'll linger nearby to make sure that the people who they're addressed to get them.]

Room 102. Me and Emily stayed there for the night because we... Knew he was coming. But it didn't help. Even with precautions.

[g101]

[ ARMS IN THE AIR ]

Hell yeah-- ouch!!!!

[ and down and pressed to her chest out of pain. ] I-- I knew you'd always stand tall... Owwwwww...

[potentite]

[He pats her shoulder.] It isn't a loss.

[nowyouseeit]

[affixes his gaze on Andersen, gaze narrowing]

I'd prefer if the Photographer did it, actually.

[he says coolly, but hey! he's being professional]

Quer was at the entrance, her throat and arms slashed. Percival and Velvet were propped up in the gazebo, stabbed to death.

There was a message written on the ground-- "Blood offered for your answers, Craftly."

That's what we need a picture of.

[ninjay]

[ well since girge is apparently useless. ]

Left arm in the disposal room.

[willremember]

... You okay? [ don't hurt urself praising a murder ]

[pinesforyou]

[Takes the stickers out, shoves them in her pocket, then closes the kit, makes a mental note of the location and everything pertinent, then hides the kit under her her sweater]

[That Mabel what a rebel]

[splinten]

What I've gotta assume is Nagasone's torso is in the storage room. Because that was necessary.

[18x0]

[...Taking a deep breath.]

I killed Quer.

[pinesfortruth]

I'm great. I love murder. [COULD NOT SOUND MORE SARCASTIC] Oh, right, his face was all... messed up from being in the dark room.

[willremember]

[ she just sort of. nudges him. ]

I think you can put that away. You'll hurt your hand.

[godly]

Akira's body is in the lounge, at the bar.

[A beat.]

There's blood on his clothes, but he looked... peaceful. And there was a note left that makes it sound an awful lot like a suicide.

[willremember]

It is. I was too slow.

[nowyouseeit]

[WELL IF WE'RE DOING IT THIS WAY]

It isn't your request to deny, Mr. Author.

[at least this time his anger is running cold]

If not the Photographer, then not you.

[g101]

Yeah! It's healing, yo. I'm totes fine. [ why does she talk like this. ] Are you okay, Orangey?

[nowyouseeit]

[. . . WELL HE WAS JUST. YELLING AT ANDERSEN ABOUT GETTING SOMEONE TO COPY DOWN SOME GARDEN EVIDENCE, SO]

What?

[gamerscore]

Yeah.

[ She says with a low choke of her voice. Her hand reaches up to the strings of her hoodie, tugging it so her face is smooshed and hidden by it. ]

We found Andersen there too...I don't think Andersen had anything to do with it. He seemed too drunk to function. Like a Grand Theft Auto character.

[ HOW DO I MAKE A SPOOF OF GRAND THEFT AUTO. WHATEVER. ]

[splinten]

I'm not worried. [BUT FINE he'll put it away because Clem asked.]
