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.
[ Oh, dear. Sara's never talked to Riku while his head was still attached to his body, and she's really not about to change that now, but first things first.
Which is to keep Xion from murdering someone until she can murder them righteously. So she's just going to make a grab for her, and apologize silently to the Lunchables for what they've endured so far-- ]
Xion. We need to tell the others.
[ She's also going to glance quickly at the parasol. Is it helpfully bloodspattered or anything? Did Riku's fingers write out a dying message??
[ Xion fairly tears herself away from Sara, but there's ... there's nowhere to go. The force of her tug makes her stumble and she crashes to the floor, clinging to Nui's parasol and shaking like a leaf. ]
Riku....
[ She lifts her chin, just staring and staring at the head on the pillow. ]
You said we'd protect everyone together. Together. You said...
[ He'd said a lot of things. He's dead, now.
Xion's grip on the parasol tightens, enough to start to make it crack alarmingly. Her voice shakes as much as the rest of her, but it's sort of ... flat. Like there's no inflection to her voice at all. ]

She doesn't even think. She screams so hard it feels like her throat might bleed.
Xion stumbles into the room, heading for the parasol and gripping it in both hands.
She knows this parasol.
This time, her shriek is one of rage. ]
NUI!

... Well, she's not counting on that. ]

If I ever see Nui again... she'll pay.

And the head. ]
