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]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico) robowest.

It is probably a surprise to absolutely no one that Xion's response to this is to just kind of dissolve. With a hiccup she lifts her fists to her face, rubbing at her eyes, and she whispers furiously to herself, over and over, ]
This isn't the time, this isn't the time, get a grip...
[ It's a lot. The faith that other people seem to have in her, for reason that seem, to her, to be so flimsy, based in nothing more than a few days of companionship and a handful of conversations ... it threatens to overwhelm her almost constantly. She doesn't know what to do with esteem. With faith. With respect. She's been without these things all her life.
To suddenly have them ...
It's a lot.
For whatever it's worth, she forces herself to calm down fairly quickly, swallowing the tears that want to fall and looking up. ... she has to sniff hard, but only once. ]
I want more than anything to be the person that you think I am. [ Said softly, but she continues with more strength: ] I'll be someone you can rely on, Seizaburo. I promise. Come on, we should keep going!

Xion makes herself calm down and looks up, and Sei nods.]
I believe in you, Miss Xion.
[Onward they go! To find nothing in the saloon, and then to go discuss what other people have found.]
