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 mod replies. Anything to discover 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]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico) robowest.

[After all, that's what brought him into the graveyard, a sense that something was off.
Riku sighs, standing.]
Should we let the others know what we've found? Or check these graves ourselves first?
I didn't talk with either of them, but I think I'd recognize them. I saw the pictures on their wanted posters, and Jason was the one that suggested Whole Ass for the town's name. Rin... I think she was the one that said she'd been wounded when she was brought here.

Wounded. [ Like a certain Jason Todd, but that's something they can discuss later. ]
Normally I wouldn't suggest this, but we should have a look what's inside. Of course, we will also bury them properly once we're done. [ If there are any bodies in there. ]
However, the thing we're really looking for was headed towards the railway station, but I trust they have a handle on things over there.
[ He knows that Chane is there, so that's all good. In the meantime, watch him dig really fast with a broken shovel! ]

About three feet into the grave, he'll hit something soft. A small cat ear pokes out of the dirt. If he keeps digging up the dirt, it won't take long to uncover a body.
The body is short and pale and absolutely covered in blood, very obviously coming from the huge gash in her throat. A piece of glass from a root beer bottle is still embedded in the flesh, actually.
This is all to say that -- Ao Nanami is dead. ]

[Riku doesn't take long to look at the body before turning to Felix.]
Pass me that shovel. I'm betting we'll find the other girl from the jail in this other grave.
[And if he's given the shovel, he's digging into Rin'a grave to see who--or what--they'll find.]

And it's going to be a coffin -- a coffin that already seems to have been pried open. Even if it's currently closed. ]

[ The shovel was passed as Claire looks on towards the railway station. ]
It sounds like you struck something.
