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.

Stay on your guard. [he warns after a quiet him. a lot of dogs in this place (he's not complaining), but that definitely can't be the focus.]
The shed's an easy hiding spot, but we don't know if anything... or anyone is waiting to make some hell for us.
[he'll be as ready as he can for that, but there's only so much he can do. shed first, that's his priority.]

It's okay. I--
[ Wait. Aw, shoot. ]
... I can fight.
[ Without a weapon... she can't summon it anymore! If only she had a stick.
Xion will nod at Noctis to go ahead and open the shed, ready and waiting as backup for ... whatever might be in there. ]

I don't want to use a gun.
[ Well, at least there's nothing in there. Xion sighs expansively at the whole lot of nothing and helps shut the doors. ]
We can search the garden...
