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.
There's a body of someone who looks kind of familiar lying face down in the dirt. Is that a boy???
There's also a knife lying nearby but well, with the amounts of blood soaking up the dirt and his clothing, it definitely wasn't a knife that killed him. ]
Shinnosuke lies in the dirt, covered in blood and... quite a number of gunshot wounds! Someone didn't go down without a fight, wtf. Calm down, Shinnosuke. Which means, of course --
He stares bleakly at this for a moment, and then runs his fingers through his hair exhaustedly.
And then he scoops Shinnosuke's body up in his arms, because it feels wrong somehow to leave him in the dirt. He's not sure where he's going with it until he sees Xion's body--but when he does, he'll at least put their bodies together.
Then he's gonna go punch a wall or something!! Yay!!]

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]
