( 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!

Tsurugi killed Emily, so I killed him.

[18x0]

[Without a bit of surprise:]

Well done.

[splinten]

[Dirk is holding a piece of broken mirror in his hand and standing SUPER CLOSE TO CLEM. If you want to suggest hurting Clem, you better be ready to die.]

[potentite]

[He smiles.] Thank you, Clem.

[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...

[wristbands]

At least you're 100% honest about it.

[potentite]

I found two of Nagasone's limbs, but I guess she already knows that.

[pinesfortruth]

Nagasone's head was in the dark room and his right leg in the electric room. If anyone knows where the rest is that'd be great.

[he looks more... angry than upset.]

[pinesforyou]

[handholding is resuming thanks]

[18x0]

Knoll is in the library. He was stabbed to death.

There's... also something else I should say.

[nowyouseeit]

[skids in from outside, out of breath from running. he takes a moment to inhale deeply, before he speaks]

. . . Percival, Quer and Velvet in the garden. Looks like they were involved in some fight.

[lifts his head up and asks, a bit louder]

We need the Photographer, or someone who's good at copying things-- there's a message written in blood that needs to be preserved, and I think it's best if someone else other than me takes care of that.

[disinterested]

[Jay can tell everyone what they found, since it's not much (?). Girge will be busy trying to squeeze sludge out of his hair (also, ignoring Andersen).]

[g101]

[ hajime is LOUDLY ARGUING with a faceless man over a knife. it's a safety knife. another has their hands in her pocket, removing the other 2. her shoes a little bloody and puke-y. it's not a pretty sight and her footprints are also not great. ]

Hey! Stop that! No, I found them, they're min--

[ she pulls her hips away, frowning. the other snatches the knife easily. ]

Boooooooo. Upstairs is naaaaaasty. Who lives in 118? Are they okay? There's a few other things I wanna say, but um.

[ninjay]

[ well since girge is apparently useless. ]

Left arm in the disposal room.

[splinten]

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

[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.

[pinesforyou]

.... Saya's dead in the lobby. The first aid kit was there, too, with a knife in it.

[wristbands]

No body or body parts out there, but there was a bloody chainsaw in the parking lot. I don't think it's too much of a stretch to guess what it was used for, knowing what other people found...

[would it have been better or worse if she had her hand chainsawed off instead of cleavered]
