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 robowest.
[He can't seem to tell whether they're dead or just unconscious, so he first leans in to see if they're breathing - and then, if he can get a finger far enough through the bars, to poke Jason's unconscious body.]
except Yuna wakes up first because she was like, half-unconscious at best because Jason is asleep on and drooling all over her shoulder on top of everything else that makes sleeping in the jail cell a Struggle, so this rude joke is WASTED
she just sort of looks over at Milla, looks over at Jason, yawns, and finally looks up at Okabe. she's...really sleepy......]
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 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?

There's also the fact that now Okabe is closer, he can probably see that they're all sort of lying in a pile of blankets and pillows.
There's an empty bag of chips nearby.
Probably like, doritos and mountain dew or something. ]

[With more bravado than he feels, he manages the first thing that comes to mind:] I didn't expect you to go for middle-schoolers. Have you no class?
[Milla's certainly not bad, though.]

Either way, just let him drool on Yuna's shoulder through all of this.
Or throw something at his face to wake him up.
It's cool.]
