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.
[ 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 ]
[ 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 ]
[ No, Whole Ass is known for being Wholesome. Such a nice time here in Whole Ass.
But also, this could be a stuffed animal! Depends on your description of a stuffed animal. Xion sits there against the wood, looking pretty peaceful aside from the, uh, gunshot wound right in the forehead.
[ why must you make papika see this with her own two eyes
she stands there, frozen in shock for a moment, before she very slowly kneels down next to the body. or sort of just, collapses to her knees next to the body, whatever!! it takes another minute or two for her to snap out of that so she can
actually check out the body to see if there is anything else??? oh my god this is awful who the frick would kill this child who can only wobble places??? ]
