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.
I did not state that it was such a thing. Merely that we must avoid jumping to unnecessary conclusions before all of the evidence to this crime has been gathered.
We must discover the truth of this incident, to prevent future occurrences.
[Oh no, what a pure sweet child who believes in the truth. HAHAHAHA THE TRUTH. PLEASE. It makes Manfred smirk with contempt and amusement at the same time.]
The truth? And what if that truth is already before your very eyes?
There is a dead body, and a weapon. Now we must find who is responsible, and bring them to justice.
Have you even investigated a murder before? [Barnham doesn't look like anyone Manfred has encountered on the police force or in court. Or in the Prosecutor's Office.]

I find that it would be rather presumptuous to jump to unnecessary conclusions. However, you are correct; the culprit is a matter of great concern.

If she wanted to commit suicide, surely there are more effective, faster ways than stabbing herself in the throat.

Barnham keeps his cool, though, simply shaking his head.]
I am not denying the scene before us.
However, there shall be more murders in the future if we do not get this right. I warn you only to avoid assumptions in your investigation.

[Manfred snaps his fingers.]
Why don't we investigate the crime scene further so I can show you that my logic is perfect?
no subject
Hmph.
I have yet to see any of your such "logic"--but I, too, much investigate, so I will not refuse.

My name is Inquisitor Zacharias Barnham. As Inquisitor of Labyrinthia, it is my duty to see to the investigation and resolution of such matters.

I had no idea the term was still being used nowadays.
[What era is this guy from.]
