( 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!

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.

[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. ]

[godly]

[He sighs, reciting what he read on the note from memory.]

"To those reading, I am doing this of my own will. The numbers must be culled to three. Let those who are willing and of pure heart fill those slots."

As I said, he looked peaceful. I didn't see any immediate wounds on his actual body, but we can look more closely during trial. The cup he appeared to be drinking out of... it smelled like coffee.

[A mundane detail, but a detail nonetheless?]

[godly]

[Frowning.]

We'll find out soon enough, won't we?

[gamerscore]

I was ready to bodyslam you into the table, Andersen.

[ She says dryly. She wanted answers!!! ]

I think I'm strong when I want to be. Maybe.

[gamerscore]

Why not? It's true.

[ Look, she was serious. :( ]

You helped where you could, at least. ...Thanks.
