WEEK ONE: INVESTIGATION

[retellers]

WEEK ONE: 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. oh n Time to investigate. ༶•┈┈⛧┈｡o°✥✣ 　　 ✣✥°o｡┈⛧┈┈•༶ Welcome to your second 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!

VR ROOM + TECH LAB

[retellers]

[lecarre]

[WHY IS THIS HAPPENING.

Anyway Ange is actually getting brave and trying to be helpful this week, so here she is, carefully pushing open the door to the VR room and poking her head in.

Friends, just shove the door open for her.]

[horologia]

[ homura is blearily making her way towards the VR room, but smacks her cheeks a little to visibly pull herself together as she approaches ange. ]

Again ... one week after the first time this happened. I wonder if there's a schedule to it ...

[ she will also help shove the door open, honestly, though she's a little curious what they'll find - is there going to be a session already in progress? unsaved data from the last time? ]

DOCKING BAY

[retellers]

[dawnblushed]

...I was really hoping we wouldn't have to do this.

[oh n, indeed.

looking grim, yona heads for the docking bay. what's up, investigation buddies! what's up, mysterymods! anything out of place at first glance?]

[cuedoves]

Me too.

[ he'll check out the shuttles first... ]

INN + BRIDGE

[retellers]

[soulus]

[Starting from the bridge, Rufus is about to make his way into town when he crosses paths with another participant or two.]

It seems we will be investigating again.

[Is there anything to notice about the bridge at a first glance?]

[evocationary]

Aw, man. I hate group assignments.

[ but she does tug on usagi's hair as she passes her to go look at the bridge. she's gonna look over to see into the river. ]

I ain't jumping in this week, I'll tell you both that now.

EMPORIUM + PLAZA

[retellers]

[discernments]

[ Ruler is looking as serious as ever, her flag held firmly in her hands, as she walks up to the Plaza from the bridge, keeping an eye out for anything obvious that's out of place. ]

Are you both prepared?

[reconnective]

[he looks like he absolutely just rolled out of bed and might still be in his pajamas (shorts and a t-shirt) but it's fine. he has shoes and he's Awake Enough.

he also has his sword with him for some reason. hm.]

As ready as we can be. Where should we start? [he's going to look around the center of the plaza, eyes drifting both to the planetarium and the emporium.]

PLANETARIUM + RAILROAD STATION

[retellers]

[antaressnipe]

[Chiron going for the planetarium because his babysitters aren't around to stop him and he basically lives there anyway (Marie he has his room and the forest) -- HE LIVES EVERYWHERE.

It's probably dark as hell but even still, he will squint to see if there's anything generally amiss.]

Let's see what we can find, Xie Lian.

[dianxias]

Mn. Tread carefully, my friend - there's no telling what we will find. [ you know who else's babysitters aren't around to stop him! xie lian's!! who let them do this?

anyway! let's go poke around...anything weird on the walk up to the planetarium pathway itself? what about on the door or the doorknob? ]

ENGINE ROOM + ??? ROOM

[retellers]

[frostythehitman]

[ Vezda pushes the door open to the engine room and scrunches his nose up at all the FILTH. ]

Well. Good news is, if anyone did anything in here, the dirt should make it easy to see.

[sacredchants]

[ never once in this whole ass game will izumo have clean clothes. thanks. anyway, is there even anything to look at while she is totally letting vezda but sometimes known as bucky do all of the manual labor. ]

Perhaps someone should look to keeping it clean for inspections like this.

MOON

[retellers]

[uhhhmagic]

[hey taako’s here, definitely still in PJs (they say TAAKO on the back) and hair in a messy bun, just. Chillin’ in the moon shuttle.]

Wait are you guys actually trying to do stuff because I just got on here to go back to sleep.

[yamantaka]

Well, you can probably nap on our way to the moon!

RESULTS

[retellers]

𝅘𝅥𝅮 ♫𝅘𝅥𝅮 As investigation ends, a song begins to play from everyone's PHS. Good morning everybody! What comes in twos? You have two knees And you wear two shoes You have two eyes Or at least most of you do Now you have two bodies At least it's not you! Then, once it comes to a close, each participant will receive an alert to a new message: Cater and Sharon Kreuger have been removed from the Realm.

EVIDENCE DROP-OFF

[retellers]

After the announcement, participants will receive yet another alert, though this one appears to come from the Leaders. why can't you guys STOP KILLING EACH OTHER we've got to deal with the Realm losing it (AGAIN) so put down the evidence and we'll collect it. AGAIN. if you don't want to carry a body leave a note and Goat or me will get it I know it's gross and awful but so is KILLING PEOPLE so. thank you. we'll see you tomorrow. i'm so sorry. True to the message, various areas appear around the Realm where the participants can leave evidence, the corpse, etc. Some time later, everything left in those spots will disappear. Afterwards, although participants can enter the Planetarium and attempt to make a wish, their requests will go unanswered/receive a message stating that the Leader is busy. For the rest of the day, at least, the participants are on their own. ༶•┈┈⛧┈｡o°✥✣ 　　 ✣✥°o｡┈⛧┈┈•༶ Please report under this comment what evidence your character is leaving in the designated areas! If you do not report anything, then your character is responsible for bringing it to trial tomorrow and therefore the evidence will not automatically be available.

[heartablaze]

[welp

Outside Room 18, someone stumbles out to the hallway and doesn't even barely make it to the stairs before her legs topple from under her, hitting the floor. She's already crying, too tired to make it out the inn to find the body for her own eyes, too tired to find someone to ask for answers... too tired to do anything.

Her hands clench against her eyes.

She still can't do anything.]

It's not fair....!! It's not fair!!
