[ WEEK SIX – INVESTIGATION ]

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 [plurk.com profile] robowest.

hotel

[personal profile] thatsthespirit 2017-02-24 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[HAPPY DIE DAY, WHOLE ASS. . .]

[either way, Milla's up as soon as the doors unlock for curfew, heading out the front door at a brisk pace. well. . . as brisk as she can go with her injuries, anyway. it certainly would be a shame if someone in her condition tripped on her way out, ha ha!]
hydrokinetics: (Cannot seem to find my way home tonight)

clinic

[personal profile] hydrokinetics 2017-02-24 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Fuck Fridays. Fridays aren't fun anymore.

But...he's moving. He can't sit still and things are happening and it's in his blood to move, to run, to seek.

So he does. He confirms and he moves, running through town to head back toward the hotel...and his eyes land on the clinic instead.

And, you know, that trail of blood. What the fuck. What the fuck?]


Oh what the heck...[It's murmured and he's tired, Whole Ass, why can't they go a week without this shit? So without fear, he jumps up to the porch of the clinic and pushes the door open to (probably stupidly) follow the trail of blood that I'm assuming is there, Squee, correct me if I'm wrong.]
impulsiveness: (022)

stocks

[personal profile] impulsiveness 2017-02-24 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[So. Uh. That sure is a mess by the front door, but Jason is just going to leapfrog over that and run for the stocks. Anyone who gets in the way might get pushed, shoved or elbowed out of his path with no apology from his part, though that might be excusable? Considering the panicked look on his face and the current day of the week.

When he gets there, he'll immediately look around to see what's the State of the Damian????



You were all fools if y'all though he'd head anywhere else, tbh.]

[. . .]

[oh for the love of WHY DON'T YOU KILLERS CLEAN UP AFTER YOURSELVES. . .]

[fortunately she stops just short of tripping in that pool of blood. her gaze narrows, following that trail, and she immediately heads towards the clinic]

Percy!

[Milla, who is following the trail of blood from the hotel entrance, trots after him]

[we are worried about the ten year old...

and noct is probably also worried that jason might kill a man if anything happened to the ten year old so! despite the Fear and Concern and the sidestepping the mess outside the hotel, he'll be jogging off after jason to catch up.

to the stocks.

welp.]
hydrokinetics: (That's what they'll say to me say to me)

[personal profile] hydrokinetics 2017-02-24 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[He turns upon hearing Milla's voice and his eyes are wide, panicked a little as he gazes back at the trail of blood once more.]

...tell me that trail doesn't start where I think it starts. [But with Milla, he feels a little less freaked out. Nothing's ever as it seems.] Should we split up in the clinic?

unnamed buildings

[personal profile] flippity 2017-02-24 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[ she is exhausted?? this is TIRING stop murdering people???

but papika is heading towards the unopen buildings, passing by them and checking to see if anything seems odd considering there were. blood trails she had to walk by to get over here?? anyway she's passing by the third one now, meta text tell me what's up ]

[personal profile] thatsthespirit 2017-02-24 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[she registers his panic, but manages to remain outwardly calm despite. . . well. everything happening so much around them]

It does. It begins at the hotel entrance and leads here. Someone was injured gravely just outside.

[at his question, she gives a curt nod]

Let's split up and investigate as swiftly as possible.
moraled: (a genuine underdog)

bonfire

[personal profile] moraled 2017-02-24 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[whatever man whatever!!

THERE BETTER NOT BE ANY BODIES HERE

can't he just find some harmless evidence for once or something... he is also Tired.]
bittybat: (when you feel like ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)  AND)

[personal profile] bittybat 2017-02-24 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[I cannot literally believe this turd survived the night????

But here he is, just as he was left. Hi.]
hydrokinetics: (No sir)

[personal profile] hydrokinetics 2017-02-24 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[I'm sure Milla's always wanted to hear Percy yell really loudly as he tries not to step on the bodies or in their blood. This is bad? This is so goddamn bad and he's sprinting forward toward Natalie.]

Natalie! [And down he goes. He doesn't care about the blood? He's just going to go through checking her wounds and trying to make sure she's not still bleeding. Most importantly, he's also checking for a pulse because I 100% don't trust Eli.] Milla, check Dr. Lecter. And be careful with that trap!
flippity: (pic#11007366)

[personal profile] flippity 2017-02-24 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[ no it's obviously a stuffed animal for her to cuddle and love and isn't a body???

she kind of just... stares at it for a moment before approaching to check it out. it's definitely not gonna be a body because we are AGAINST MURDER HERE AT WHOLE ASS ]
moraled: (then everyone on the train started to cl)

[personal profile] moraled 2017-02-24 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[WHY IS IT ALWAYS BODIES THOUGH.

He glances at the knife, though for now he leaves it be--it's definitely far more important to go...see who's dead today!! Huzzah.

Barnham doesn't hesitate to go over to the body, crouching down and turning him over.

WHAT DOES HE BRACE HIMSELF FOR]

[personal profile] thatsthespirit 2017-02-24 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[JESUS CHRIST]

[Percy bolts towards Natalie, and Milla bolts towards Hannibal, crouching down at his side and immediately reaching out to check for a pulse]


Dr. Lecter! Can you hear me?!

[she eyes the bear trap too but doesn't reach out to touch it just yet]
impulsiveness: (014)

[personal profile] impulsiveness 2017-02-24 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[oh my god

the child is alive.

... Someone will probably find a corpse, though. But for now, Jason gestures for Noctis to help him get Damian out of the stocks. Cries out of relief later.]
elemancy: (pic#11008178)

[personal profile] elemancy 2017-02-24 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[noct's definitely breathing out a sigh of relief as his moves to help jason with this.

yeah, let someone else find the bodies so they can suffer later when all their friends are dead.]


...Anything you can tell us? [he might as hell... make some sad attempt at conversation while they do this, see what damian knows?]
hydrokinetics: (until both your eyes start to swell)

[personal profile] hydrokinetics 2017-02-24 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well. Haha fuck! Percy's just going to drag Natalie closer and try to get her back into consciousness if he can? Help him? Why is it always blood and his friends? But also he's eyeing Hannibal closely.]

Natalie's alive. [His voice is shaking just a bit. Oh gods oh gods oh gods.] We need to get her wounds treated, but...Dr. Lecter...?
