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.
[she watches Yuna bolt up the stairs, and for the briefest of moments a flicker of concern crosses her expression. she opens her mouth to say something when suddenly-- MUFFLED GASP]
-- did you hear that?
[BRB OPENING THE KITCHEN DOOR NOW to see if that's where the noise came from]
[MEANWHILE UPSTAIRS, YUNA'S STOPPING DEAD IN HER TRACKS]
Did you guys hear that? [she isn't even checking to see who's actually following her?? if the other two are in the kitchen ana's probably here but REGARDLESS, Yuna just goes right back to screaming.]
Miss Tiara! It's me, Yuna! Where are you?! [And she is just HURLING OPEN DOORS all down the hall, stepping into each room and giving it a glance before heading to the next one as quickly as she can.]
[ Well, dang! Thanks to Yuna's persistence, it looks like you've all found Tiara.
In room six on the upper floor, the last one on the hall, Yuna will open the door to a very simple bedroom. There's a small twin size bed there, a bedside table with a candle on it, and a window overlooking the main strip of the town. There's also a rug and a chest. It's pretty cozy, actually.
She actually looks about as shocked as someone who has just been disturbed by yelling looks, honestly, eyes wide and a little frazzled. She's clean, though, pristine as ever, clothing unblemished, with her hands resting in her lap.]
[ Russell is coming up the stares because he hears more than one voice..!!
And there's Tiara, wow??? Though... He doesn't look too happy to see her, but you know. That feel when... No emotions. that feel when no feel, you could say, perhaps. ]
I... as you can see, I am fine, so please-- please do not cry. Your smile has always been so beautiful and kind, Miss Yuna. I...would truly hate to see you cry for me.
[following Russell up the stairs!! she's gonna wait until Yuna's hug is over before she speaks again. and she, unlike Yuna and Russell, gets right down to business]
As in, during the midst of this happy reunion, the Sheriff will arrive. He's fully dressed this time and he looks very unimpressed at the lot of them. ]
Seriously?
[ Then he pushes past to very simply scoop up Tiara in his arms and leave the room with her. ]

Which means there's a muffled gasp somewhere but nothing else. You could probably try opening up some doors? ]

Yuna is yelling... Let's join her.
[ SO... He's going to leave to join the commotion... Which is literally Just Yuna, but you know. ]

In room six on the upper floor, the last one on the hall, Yuna will open the door to a very simple bedroom. There's a small twin size bed there, a bedside table with a candle on it, and a window overlooking the main strip of the town. There's also a rug and a chest. It's pretty cozy, actually.
And right there, sitting on the bed is Tiara. ]

Good job, guys.]

[that guy.

Y-yes, I am-- what is the matter?
no subject
[and yuna, ever graceful, just FLINGS HERSELF RIGHT AT HER, SHE LOOKS UNINJURED SO IT'S DEFINITELY SAFE TO JUST HUG HER AND YELL SOME MORE RIGHT????]
I was so scared! Are you hurt?! Are you okay?!
[oh boy she's crying again]
no subject
[SURE IS A HUG... she's surprised, but she lifts her hands to very lightly place them on Yuna's back as well.]
I... I'm fine. Please, do not cry... Are you all right, Miss Yuna?
no subject
We found Ao, and you weren't anywhere, and I was so scared, I didn't want you to be dead, too!

[She pulls away, wipes at her eyes, and takes a few breaths to try steadying herself—and she does smile, teary and shaky but sincere.]
I'm so happy you're safe...!

Hey... Can't you at least explain why it's so messy down there, [ Lifts up bottle. ] but up here it's fine?
no subject
'Cause nothing happened up here, duh.

[Yuna's doing her best to get in between Tiara and the sheriff, arms spread out, but when this inevitably doesn't work she's going to chase him down.]
Mister Sheriff, stop it!
no subject
If you're gonna bother her about last night, I ain't letting any of you talk to her. She was resting.
no subject
I won't! I won't bother her about last night, I just want to make sure she's safe and I want to talk to her, so please let me stay with her!
