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.
[ They can probably notice the shovel from here! Good job, folks.
But... ah. Why am I writing this tag? As Claire approaches the Graveyard, he can probably see a female figure slumped against a headstone. She almost looks like she could be sleeping but, well. This is Whole Ass.
[ As he approaches the figure (WHO SURELY CAN'T BE CHANE RIGHT???) and gets closer with each step, he leaves Rin behind to catch up at her own pace. His heart sinks, but he says nothing as he gently turns the body over to see... well, to confirm, really. Both the identity of the person and the status.
There's blood. Reality is about to fly directly into his face. ]
[ It's an answer to Rin's question, as well as his way of facing the reality. Who could have done this Chane? She didn't deserve to die like this, alone and beaten. ]
Someone killed my wife. They've taken her from my world. I'll never see her smile again.
[ He says this as he smears his own face with Chane's blood. Despite his heartbreak, there are no tears in his eyes - in fact, his eyes constrict as they adjust to this new reality without Chane. He knows what needs to be done, what he needs to become, and falling apart isn't it. ]
But our souls have become one... and I won't rest until her killer's blood is on me, too.
[ Oh yeah, Rin is still here. Those last words were mostly for himself. ] --you should tell the others. [ Seriously, leave him. ]
[ Maybe it's not a good idea to leave someone with a body that hasn't been looked at, especially when they're very clearly under emotional duress.
But she doesn't really care. There's probably going to be nobody better than him to leave this to, after all. They've completely failed in so many ways already that at this point it's not going to matter.
Good luck, pastor-man. You had a cute and good lady there. ]
I'll leave this to you, then.
[ And she's running back, back to the church and picking up that shovel. ]

He will notice that she is small, petite.

She is also resting against her own tombstone, for the poetry of it all. ]
