[ 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.

[help]

You know, I had just thought, given her sense of style [ostentatious]... But I could see a certain kind of person trying to cleanse themselves, especially if they'd just.

[escaped murder]

We can search the rest when we get to it. She might have moved, anyway.

[sunnashi]

Don't worry about it, Sei... [ Crap he got her name earlier... ] Seiburo-san! [ He tried. ]

[ Alright, so aside from the back window... time to check the confessional? ]

Hello? Is anyone here?

[feminitis]

[ack]

I-it's Seizaburo! Sei is a girl's name...!

[Yeah, about that... but while Higekiri looks into the confessional, she'll do a quick sweep of the room and make sure someone's not like, lying down in the pews or something trying to take a nap.]

[dmails]

[Meanwhile, Okabe will inspect the podium, then look upward towards the ceiling. Ugh, dusty.]

[sheriffexe]

[ The confessional is completely empty! Crickets, my friends. Crickets.

No one's lying in the pews. No naps here.

And there is also nothing on the ceiling. What the hell, Okabe. She isn't a spider! ]

[sunnashi]

[ Bless you, omniscient voice of reason that tells us what's going on. ]

I suppose there's nothing here. Sei-za-burou-san, Ohagi-san, let's go back.

[ HIGEKIRI... ]

[feminitis]

[Out they go... glancing up the street, it seems that all of the buildings between the church and the hotel are boarded up (if I'm reading the map right).

Sei pauses.]

...you said before that it didn't look like anyone had forced their way into those buildings, right, Higekiri-san? [So there's nothing else for them to investigate, except...] ...do you think we found everything there is to find in the graveyard already?

[dmails]

Unless we want to dig up the thirty-eight other graves-- [please don't take him seriously] --We can take another sweep over it. Remember, we're looking for the girl first, other clues second.

[sunnashi]

Yes, and there was... an ominous feeling around them when we were checking them. I think it would be best to leave them be.

[ Also he stole chips and paid the price. ]

Considering that there's a dead body and people were there, I have my doubts.

[ To the graveyard... again? There's less of a commotion, at least after the body and skeleton discovery. ]

[feminitis]

We might not find her, but we might find some clue as to where she went...

[Probably not, though. Sei doesn't really seem to expect much, though she'll do a quick sweep of the graveyard just to be sure. But if they don't find anything, back to the others they go!]

[dmails]

Well, wherever she's hiding, she can't stay hidden forever.

[Damn it - he thought he had an idea, and he didn't. Oh well; as long as someone else finds out... (But he wanted to be the one to find out! Maybe.)]

[Either way, after a quick look over that graveyard, regroup!]

[sunnashi]

[ Well, there's the shed, and curiously, a broken shovel (as we found out from the Plurk, thanks Squee!). But aside from that, we're good.

As good as we could be? ]
