( 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!

[Dirk will also wait. He gives Violet a concerned look. Shit is not great.]

[willremember]

[ on the up-side, she looks much more put together when she comes back out. she takes in a deep breath and composes herself beside them. ]

... What next?

[inventurous]

We should probably tell everyone what happened, and find out what else happened.

[ since. there's probably more that happened lbr. violet will put a hand on clem's shoulder in an attempt to comfort? ]

[splinten]

Yeah. [He glances at them. God this is awful.]

[willremember]

[ she appreciates the shoulder-touch, but really isn't used to touching and like... just nods? at violet in thanks?? she's doing her best. ]

Time to see how many people think I did something wrong.

[inventurous]

If any of them do, we'll set them straight. There's no way they can blame you for defending yourself. Not if they're smart, anyway.

[ but awful is a good word for everything. ]

[splinten]

Plus, I'll kill them if they try.

[Just pointblank a thing he intends to do.]

[willremember]

He didn't attack me.

[ she sort of. looks at Dirk. is that really the best solution. ]

[inventurous]

[ dirk jfc you don't say that ALOUD ]

He attacked Emily, didn't he? That's just as bad, or worse since that means he was for sure aiming to kill. I'd still call that self-defense.

[splinten]

[Yes it is.]

I don't give a damn if he didn't come after you. We're better with him dead.

There are going to be killers who deserve our vote a Hell of a lot more than you this week.

[willremember]

You're probably right.
