[ WEEK ONE – INVESTIGATION ]

[sheriffexe]

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 robowest.

[He shrugs.]

I wouldn't name the robot Hal, but otherwise, that stuff isn't too weird to me.

But I guess if I think about it, that makes this pretty normal too.

[hydrokinetics]

[...that's fair. But where in the fuck are you from that this is normal Shinnosuke???]

I wouldn't name the robot Hal either but that's not the point. Somebody went through the effort of finding a double of that girl and maybe doubles of us. Or we're the doubles? I don't know. Too bad we can't figure out how long she's been buried.

[insincerely]

[Semi-post-apocalyptic Earth??]

Yeah. I mean, other than "a long time"—unless the skeleton's been somewhere else until recently—but that's only so helpful. I don't suppose anyone here has super autopsy skills?

[hydrokinetics]

[He can think of a few people but he doesn't want to say that out loud.]

Probably not. I'd ask if we're even sure this is real but...[It smells like death?]

[insincerely]

... Well, of all things to fake, I don't really see why they wouldn't be willing to go out and get an actual corpse. Or skeleton, rather.

Not like dead people are all that hard to come by.

[hydrokinetics]

Good point. But getting an actual likeness of us takes a lot of effort. We could just be dealing with some lazy kidnappers.

[He eyeballs Jason's grave, too.] We can't really confirm this wasn't a one-time thing either.

[insincerely]

... Think there's a reason his grave was picked, or that it was random? We still haven't confirmed Rin Tohsaka's status, for that matter.

[hydrokinetics]

I'm wondering the same thing. [And he looks a little startled suddenly.] We haven't confirmed where Rin is. When was the last time anybody saw her? I've never spoken to her.

[insincerely]

I spoke to her on Saturday, and I saw her during Mr. Sheriff's announcement on Sunday. Not sure about after that, though.

[hydrokinetics]

She's the one who asked about how the Sheriff healed her, isn't she? [He eyes their corpse friend again.] Maybe something else happened.

[insincerely]

It's possible. It also could just be that she's sleeping in, if we want to go for the stupid and mundane answer. You know who her roommate is?

[hydrokinetics]

Not a clue. We should probably learn all of that information for the future if this happens again. Let's start asking around, see what we can come up with.

[insincerely]

Well, I can say right now that my roommate is Simon, who's easily recognizable because he keeps a molesting monkey with him. But yeah, sounds good to me.

[hydrokinetics]

--you. Are going to explain this monkey thing to me later. [But yes off they go.]
