[ WEEK ONE – 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 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] robowest.

[ Wastes no time playing the role of the doting wife! By the time Chane arrives, presumably with Hannibal not far behind, she goes to Claire's side. It's clear all her immediate concern is for him, although she does look on toward the messy, dug up grave. ]

... [ Hey. ]

Chane!

[ He yells out as she comes to his side. Unlike Chane, he wasn't entirely concerned for her, but that's only because he knows she's a badass and the female lead in his story. ]

Did you find anything on your end?

[ Guess what. Chane's going to be super saiyan creepy as fuck.

Opening her hand, there's a faint smear of blood on her palm - now well ingratiated into the lines and crags of her skin, uncomfortably dry but not hers - as well as a few locks of blue hair. ]

[ He takes her hand and brings it a little closer, examining the contents. This isn't creepy at all, Chane is his beautiful soulmate. ]

Is this a gift for me? No - you found this, right? Was it at the station?

[ Nod nod nod!

Hannibal had pointed out that both the girls in the jail cells had blue hair; one of them, she had spoken to but refused to let out, goaded by a sense of mistrust that not even Claire's influence had allowed her to shake.

Needless to say, Chane isn't in a splendid mood. ]

It belongs to the girls, right?

[ He looks over to the other coffin that Chane is destined to open in another top level. ]

Well, we know where one of them is. Would you like to open the other treasure? [ In the meantime, he's holding the evidence Chane gave him against Ao's corpse, trying to see if it matches closely. ]

[ This is officially the worst honeymoon ever. Why couldn't you have taken her to Italy instead, Claire?

... Regardless, she gives his other hand a squeeze and then goes to do exactly that. ]

[ After a minute or so, when Chane makes the discovery and waves for others, Claire finally rejoins her. ]

...This one looks like it's been here for a while.

[ Turning slightly away from the crowd, she makes a point of brushing the dirt off of her coat. From this vantage point, only Claire can see Chane's expression emptying of some of the shock and concern she had displayed moments ago.

"She looks like one of the young women who arrived with us." ]

[ Chane, how can you not be enjoying your chance to shine as a hero who is going to save everyone!! ]

You think it's someone we know? Has anyone seen the person you're thinking of all morning?
tightly: (34)

[personal profile] tightly 2017-01-21 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
[ Because she's not a hero! She's, like. The not-hero, not-villain.

Shaking her head, Chane peers over her shoulder back at the crowd. It's brief, but once she scans the gathering and still doesn't see Rin Tohsaka, she turns back toward Claire with a dour expression.

If I can find her poster, I'll show you. But I know she had been here before.

[ He reads it, then looks back at her reassuringly. ]

Well, I wouldn't worry. The body is far too decayed to be her. Maybe it's her relative, or it could be one of those things where she turns out to be the killer! What do you think we should do?
