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.
It's hard to tell. As far as I know, the last time anyone has seen her was back at the mines. [ Like Natalie. ]
Someone must've gone back for her and brought her here. The lack of a blood trail must mean she lost her leg inside this church rather than the mines, but who am I to make sense of this place?
[ He nods in understanding, though it's not quite what he was hoping to hear. ]
I will work under the assumption that I should be quick, in that case.
[ He withdraws the needle and simply waits until he's reasonably certain it's taken effect. He can't be sure, since she's not concious enough to tell him, but that's just a risk he'll have to swallow for now. ]
You may stay, if you are comfortable potentially being my assistant. Otherwise, could I trouble you to find someone willing to help in that role?
Well, I was gonna look for the bad guys, but I don't mind sticking around. I'm sure Chane would want me to. [ Pause. ] Or would she want me to go look for the culprit? Did she say anything else to you? Agh, I just can't decide!
[ He looks down at Sei. Poor, poor Sei, stuck with these freaks. ]

[ These things are best saved for the trial. ]

No! I should stay. I'm gonna help you, doc.
