WEEK ZERO: INVESTIGATION

[retellers]

WEEK ZERO: INVESTIGATION (?? remain) On Friday morning at 7am, all the doors will unlock and the participants may traverse between areas again. Participants will find that, as they leave wherever they slept, everything feels... unclear? Did they see whoever they were with? They can no longer remember. Even for those who spent the night alone, they can feel that something is off. It doesn't seem as though the Leaders are around. However, an alert will notify the participants to a new message on their PHS. Hello everyone. Apparently something happened last night while everyone was asleep. We're not sure what's going on, but there has been a huge disturbance with nova and the six of us are going to check it out. But it seems like something also happened in the town. Can you all please go and try to find the source of it? Sorry for troubling you! Time to investigate. ༶•┈┈⛧┈｡o°✥✣ 　　 ✣✥°o｡┈⛧┈┈•༶ Welcome to your first investigation! We will be posting top-levels for searchable locations—one set at 6pm EST and another set at 7pm EST. Each location will contain evidence to find, though it's up to your efforts as to whether you find all of it. Please coordinate investigation groups on Discord, as we ask that group threads consist of no more than 2-3 characters. We will stop tagging each top-level two hours after it went up, i.e. at 8pm and 9pm EST, respectively. Don't worry if you don't find everything! Characters will get the chance to revisit locations tomorrow at trial. At 9pm EST, an announcement will go up, confirming the victim(s). If you have any questions at any time, please let us know by pinging us on Discord!

Or who was already there? We should ask them if they found anything else. [since they found a stained cloth...]

[ No snark, she nods at both of them, because presumably she spotted the other team. ] I'm sure. If you keep following this path, you'll see her too—I think it was... Hajime?

[ Based on the profiles, anyway. ]

But you're right, we should definitely talk to the others.

[ Sure, maybe there's a smudge where the squirrel might've moved the cloth around in the dirt. ]

Hajime...

(His expression drops when he hears the name. He'd met her briefly. She'd helped him with his tasks earlier in the week.)

What's going on here? (Who would want to kill her? Ugh. ) Let's meet up with the other group and head back to tell the others. Someone might have noticed something.

Oh, by the way. (He holds out the cloth to Sora. It's dirty and there's blood so he knows better than to ask Hilda,) Hold onto this for me, will you?

I don't want to put it in my pocket on accident or anything like that...

(Also, his other hand is bleeding now (thanks, Squeakums) so he doesn't want to get anymore blood on it.)

[oh...bad. his own expression drops and he shakes his head.]

That doesn't make sense. How could she...? [but there's nothing to be done. he takes the cloth though and holds onto it.] I'll take care of it. Let's head back. We should get your hand cleaned up, too.
