[ WEEK TWO – INVESTIGATION ]

INVESTIGATION


The town is quiet, eerily so. All animals, all chatter, all gusts of wind have come to a complete stop this morning. A tumbleweed passes by through the center of town and the rocking chair on the Sheriff's porch sways but remains silent. Everything is muted and as the door of the hotel opens, the only sensation that rings utterly true today is this:

One of your own is gone.

And now, as the rules state, it is your job to discover their fate.



Welcome to the investigation post! If your character decides to search an area, please post the name of the location in your header and wait for the mod replies. Anything to discover or not to will be indicated during the course of the thread.

After the body is discovered, an announcement will be made and characters are free to spend the rest of the afternoons how they like. If there are any questions, please shoot a message either to this journal or at [plurk.com profile] robowest.

Someone had a real party in here last night, huh.

[noct, please don't be so desensitized to this already, it's only week two? he spots the blood, and he's about to check that out—until he catches a glimpse of whatever is that's glittering.

maybe he should check it out first?

his steps are definitely still cautious, like something may jump out at him before he crouches down to look at it. what is this mysterious glittering object?]

[ ...she's making an annoyed tsk. ]

Of course he is. [ Her sarcasm. ] He couldn't have been put in there for nothing.

And if not we can ask Hal if there's anything he can tell us about the stock-break.

[ good plan. OFF THEY GO? ]

Ah... [she starts saying something and then just yawns again. give her a second, she's still waking up......] Excuse me. [And then she lightly presses a finger to her lips, careful not to move the other residents of her nap pile in the process. She's very quiet when she continues:]

Please don't be too loud, they're really sleepy and I don't want to wake them... [child, please.] Milla and I stayed outside last night because we didn't want Jason to be alone, and Mister Sheriff didn't like that...

[SO. HERE WE ARE]

When I talked to him yesterday he said he woke up there. The Sheriff picked him up out of his room, moved him, and locked him up without waking anybody else up. Kind of makes the chances of something bad happening to him even worse. [He shakes his head.] What do you think? Wanna keep moving? The church looks okay for now.

[TBH SHE'S PROBABLY SLEEPING THROUGH ALL OF THIS]

[she missed dinner she has no fuel she is out]

[and she is snoring. loudly]

[UGHHHHHH 2.0!! okay, just. don't throw up or scream, this is fine and she can handle it (it's not fine at all and she is extremely ill equipped to handle it).

anyways, she can worry about the scattered supplies and anachronisms and literally everything else that's wrong with this picture later. right now she's just a little caught off guard by the copious amounts of blood. she does give the general chaos a passing glance, but it's brief; she can give everything a better look in a second. for now, she's heading to the office door, opening that carefully as well and making sure she doesn't step on anything that looks important on the way.

please no bodies??]

Eugh...

[murmuring at the smell like a real adult!

he can see that it's a scabbard—he tries to recall if he's seen one like it before, but he can't place it.

it'd probably be easier to see it if he moves the stinky clothes pile, huh? gross.]


Icky... [truly, an adult, but he'll make a move to shift this pile; what's it like? how heavy is it? are there limbs inside those clothes?]
dmails: (ok but consider not)

[personal profile] dmails 2017-01-27 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
So he tossed you all in here so you wouldn't be outside? Surprisingly... Benign. [Either way, he's relieved; he presses his fingers to his closed eyes, then opens them again.] Is he going to be back to let you out?

You don't think there'll be anything there, do you?

[ It's only partially rhetorical as she leads the way to the stairs. She feels strangely frustrated. Being someplace without evidence just means they can't help... but at the same time, they can't afford to not be thorough. ]

[Annabeth and Damian arrive... because they had no luck in the graveyard and are concerned for Jason Todd.]

[ WELL THIS SURE LOOKS LIKE A THING... ]

That answers that, then.

[ they all seem to be alive. yay. ]

He was fine when I went to tell him about the camera, so... he must have disappeared after then.

[ One last look around, and then she's nodding. ]

We might as well.
feminitis: (this innocence is 97% fake)

[personal profile] feminitis 2017-01-27 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably not.

[She sounds like she's trying to be reassuring, at least, rather than dismissive, and they climb the stairs together.]

It's possible nothing happened down here and everything relevant is upstairs, but you'd think they'd have left a clue of some kind coming down. Otherwise, they'd have had to have jumped out the window to leave no trace of it down here, and I don't think the people in this town who can jump like that [Ezio] would do something like this...

[There's almost a grateful smile.]

Thanks for taking the risk to keep him updated. [He may or may not be kind of fond of Jason, even if he's a butthead sometimes. That's concerning, but still. With that, he's nodding toward the door and turning to walk, waiting for her to follow.] Let's go check around town. Last time clues were spread kind of everywhere. And with everybody else up they may have found something already, too.
robitussin: (and you won't look so pale)

[personal profile] robitussin 2017-01-27 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[god dammit why!!!

she doesn't want to touch him with her bare hands if he's a corpse by now?? is there anything she can use to kind of prod him with, that is clearly the better alternative...

either way, she's taking a few steps towards him while still maintaining a fair distance and speaking up.]


Hey. Hey, are you dead?

[excellently done as always]
glaring: (pic#10507215)

[personal profile] glaring 2017-01-27 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Y-you don't need to thank me. It's what any normal person would have done!

[ Rin awkwardly rubs the back of her hand, then hurries out the door. ]

Let's hope they all found nothing like we did.

They were just...? This is ridiculous!
