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.
[Lust keeps herself comfortably in the middle of her impromptu escort, more than happy to let one of the others take the lead, and keeping Ezio at her back. The place is a mess, clearly there was a struggle here.]
Either someone managed to flee while injured, or a body was moved.
[He mutters under his breath as he moves further into the saloon. Ezio examines some of the broken glass, trying to see if it was a bottle, a glass, two bottles, or totally unrecognizable. It's important to understand what seems to be a weapon??]
One of us should stay here, I'd think... Another could follow the blood. Unless anyone has any better ideas?
[ It was only one bottle, looks like a bottle of root beer. Most of the glass shards seem to be around a chair by the bar while the rest spill into the blood. ]
[Tarvek touches the blood. It seems to be real blood, but where's the body? Huh.
Without saying a word, he leaves -- although not to follow the blood -- having noted there's no corpse in the saloon. Enjoy your possible crime scene, you three]
