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.
[ Can you... just let me give you this monkey corpse, Damian?
Because there is a monkey corpse burning in the pile of entrails. Charred through pretty badly already.
As for the tracks, it looks like it came from around the train and the person followed the same path back, kicking the dirt around to obscure the footprints. There's only a few tips of footprints, enough to show that it's an adult or a teenager but that's it. ]
It's a pure travesty. A piece of Damian Wayne's soul is ripped right out of his body. It's good it wasn't the cat, but look. An innocent, pure monkey has been brutally murdered and disrespectfully burned in a pile of organs.] I'm sorry.
[He's gonna just... try to put some dirt on it to put the fire out?? But if it's too big of a fire, he'll leave it for now and continue on with following the tracks around the train.]
Damian absolutely gives the monkey a nice little light burial. At least puts it out. He'll come back later with a shovel or something and bury it properly.
Now he'll circle around the train to see if he can find anyone or any more tracks??? HE DOESNT WANNA LOOK AT THIS SHIT ANYMORE.]

He'll be able to kick the fire out, since it's not a large pile -- just you know, one human's insides and a monkey.
It's all pretty burnt up there though. ]

There aren't any other tracks though -- well, nothing fresh. Just the usual walking around. ]

He marches back through town to go get a shovel and come back and bury the damn monkey because it didn't deserve Squee as a mod.]
