[ WEEK FOUR – INVESTIGATION ]

[sheriffexe]

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 robowest.

[And he comes...lugging Yuna in one arm and Xion in another? How the fuck does this happen to him. He's busy holding both girls and listening to Papika before slowly shaking his head. Thanks for sullying the lake, you fuckers!!!]

Are you and Mr. Barnham okay? And how're we getting multiple murders now? That really wasn't a standard I was hoping to set.

[And then, awkwardly:] ...also Yuna got mauled by coyotes and I don't really know how to do first aid for normal people.

[cherrypuncher]

[flexes!!! her arm!!!!! the one without the really big gash in it, um]

I'm really not doing so bad, so please don't worry too much...

[SHE'S DOING PRETTY BAD, ACTUALLY, BUT]

[hydrokinetics]

[And thus Yuna probably just bled all over him. Thanks Yuna.]

Stop. [It's mostly a calm, gentle sort of murmur but firm enough to get across to stop.]

[cherrypuncher]

[LISTEN...SHE'S DEFINITELY BEEN BLEEDING ON HIM ANYWAY AND THE ARM THAT ISN'T ALL FUCKED UP IS. ACCEPTABLE. RELATIVELY]

But I'm not! [pause] Sorry.

[hydrokinetics]

[Eh. Whatever.]

It's okay, Yuna. Just...chill out, okay? We'll get you fixed up before tomorrow and you can be really intense then if you want.

[insincerely]

[Hi, sorry you have to see this asshole again already.]

Well, I'd volunteer but... [WAVES A HAND IN FRONT OF HIS FACE.]

[hydrokinetics]

Well, I'd kick your ass for what you did, but. [Same reason. Give him time to chill out.]

[insincerely]

[He just lets out a light laugh. Sorry, Percy, you really should just beat him up like Xion requested because he deserves it.]

All's well that ends well, right?

[hydrokinetics]

I'm sorry, did I hear "Percy, please punch me in the mouth"? Man, what is wrong with you sometimes?

[It's not all's well that ends well, but it's all his own issues and rhymes with "Bananabeth" so. Sorry.] Unless you actually have something useful to say, save it for tomorrow.

[ceded]

No one asked you!

[ she's!!

still mad!! ]

[insincerely]

[HE GOT XION MAD AT HIM, ONE MISSION ACCOMPLISHED]

My, don't you hold a grudge.

[flippity]

[ she gasps when she sees yuna because!!! why are the coyotes so bad here!!! ]

Forget about us, is she going to be okay?!

[ papika knows how to do... some first aid but... she is probably not the most sanitary person right now?? where's dadibal ]

[hydrokinetics]

Yuna's going to be fine. [Probably. What if he just goes out and murders all coyotes???] Dr. Lecter or one of the other adults will help get her arm fixed up and everything. Don't worry. [He's mostly keeping a close eye on her because it's Papika.]

Bath when you get back to the hotel, okay? The last thing we need is you getting sick from swimming with...all of that.

[flippity]

[ god now that percy mentioned it, papika looks like she is??? gonna be sick again?? ]

Yeah I'll... go do that... someone needs to bring the bodies inside though. There's, uh, crows? At the dock.

[ceded]

[ Murmurs to him: ]

Let me stand, I'm alright. I can just lean on you.

[ But the body announcement - and Yuna's condition - both worry her. She's not really the one who needs attention here. ]

All the way out by the lake... all the murders have been in town so far. Why now?

[hydrokinetics]

[...well. He can accept that and he's busy shifting to set Xion down, holding out his elbow for her to wrap her arm around to balance if she needs to. Yuna's staying though until an adult comes, sorry about him. Either way, he looks at her quietly before nodding and murmuring right back.]

I don't know, but I think you and I need to talk later.

[ceded]

[ stares up at him, searchingly.

then, just once, nods. ]

[thatsthespirit]

[oh man after that scare there are no words for how relieved she is to see Yuna alive and okay]

Here. Let me carry Yuna. I can take her to the clinic and then make sure she makes it back to our room safely.

[hydrokinetics]

[Wordlessly, he'll pass Yuna over to Milla. Thank you for picking up your child, Milla.]

Thanks...your ribs doing okay though?

[THERE ARE SO MANY INJURIES WHAT THE FUCK.]

[cherrypuncher]

You can't carry me, you're still hurt! [nooooooo!!! she isn't flailing because that's just gonna make it worse for milla but she's very displeased.] I can walk, I can, but you broke your ribs. Let me walk with you instead.

[impulsiveness]

[Y...UNA.................. Stop.

Jason is just. Going to sigh and point in the clinic's general direction, before gesturing for Percy to either hand Yuna over to him or help him get her there. Considering Jason is barely inches taller than her, one option is better than the other?? Or not. Just do whatever as long as he can give her first aid while Dr. Dad gets here.

Why do coyotes happen so much.]

[hydrokinetics]

[A nod.]

Do me a favor, go with Milla and help her get Yuna fixed up. Let me know that everything's okay once Dr. Lecter signs off, unless you know how to treat bites and gashes like this. [An inhale.] I trust you to take care of it.

[impulsiveness]

[He's not going to bother writing a message right now and playing charades is tiring, so he settles for giving Percy a thumbs up. He does, in fact, know how to treat injuries like these. The fort will be semi-held down while Hannibal gets here. Do not worry, bro. He's got this.

Probably.

And off he goes with Milla, presumably.]

[thatsthespirit]

[JUST]

[GOING TO]

[glance over at him with a look that's like]

[yep]

[I told you]

[impulsiveness]

[why are you all the way you have chosen to be

stop]
