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!

[exercisms]

[I assume it's less floppy if a body is in it? But okay, he'll poke the suit, and then peer down from the visor into the suit - anything in there?]

There's blood on this. An accident might have happened.

[retellers]

[ No blood around the chairs! I have no idea what Zuko is checking.

The other space shuttle is in a similar state, though.

There is nothing in the space suit. ]

[dawnblushed]

[mods i'm sorry i don't know shit about space shuttles. i assume there's a control panel with switches? or like. some way to steer it? yona's checking that. are there any flashing lights or anything... did someone leave the space shuttle's keys in .... does this shuttle even have keys.]

[cuedoves]

[ zuko will check the second shuttle, then!! looking at the mess, trying to see if there's any blood, digging through the mess to see if there's any kind of pattern, checking around the seats and the controls, trying to discern if it's been used!! ]

[exercisms]

[Anything else in the locker? Or anything else on the spacesuit besides the cuts and blood?

If not, he's going to go wander over to the airlock and press his face against it and look outside.]

[retellers]

[ The truth is your mod doesn't know what the inside of a space shuttle looks like either.

I assume the shuttle doesn't have keys, so no. Maybe some lights are flashing? If nothing else, I'm going to presume that the shuttle is going CLOSE THE DOOR!!!, but in a more professional manner.

It's pretty much the same for the shuttle that Zuko is checking out.

Nothing else in the locker! It has just that bloody and cut up space suit. So Mob can go and look outside, where he will see the moon. ]

[dawnblushed]

[yona will close the door.




she will also look at the shuttle's ceiling. just in case.]

[cuedoves]

[ any blood in zuko's shuttle??? zuko will also look at the ceiling... before going to look at the cut up bloody spacesuit. ]

[ can he tell what made the cuts? like, sword sized, knife sized, etc? ]

[exercisms]

[Mob is actually also going back to the locker because I just realized that you said he found the bloody spacesuit in the fourth locker he came to, and there are four more lockers to look in after that. So. He looks in those.

Also for clarity, the first three lockers weren't empty, they just had regular spacesuits in them]

[retellers]

[ The shuttle is happy now that the door is closed. You may blast off. (Except not, because you're not the Moon group, alas.) Also, there is nothing of note on the ceiling.

Also a bit of blood in the other shuttle. Zuko will not be able to tell unless he happens to have a knife or sword on him!

Your mod is stupid and forgot about normal things in the locations, yes. Anyway, Mob opens another locker, and inside is... another space suit! Again, with its visor down. This one has no visible damage, but it does have splatters of blood on it. ]

[dawnblushed]

[yona makes the shuttle sad again by reopening the door.

...and she heads outside! time to get down and see if there's anything under the shuttle. providing there's not, she'll check the... uh... fuck. are they called exhaust pipes? they look like exhaust pipes?? the big pipes on the back of the shuttle.

if indeed it does look like. this. help i'm struggling.]

[cuedoves]

[ zuko has a steak knife he can compare to the cuts!! ]

[ he's also gonna help mob check out the bloody spacesuit ig ]

[exercisms]

[Opening the visor, with Zuko right there, looking inside it, and then going to the next locker and opening it. Normal space suit? Please?]

[retellers]

[ Yona finds... nothing! Wow, all that effort for nothing.

They probably don't match the steak knife. Ask again tomorrow.

Nothing in the space suit! But in the next locker is... a body. And one that doesn't appear to be breathing, whoops. Since Mob is staring straight at it, he should be able to recognize who it is.

Cater is dead.

We tried so hard to make you miss a body but we couldn't outsmart Siz, unfortunately. ]

[dawnblushed]

[Yona does not yet realize they've found a body because tag order means Mob probably hasn't screamed yet so she's attempting to scale the shuttle to check the top of it. Foolish.]

[cuedoves]

[ okay so before he realizes there's a body zuko is checking out the last two lockers gotta go fast ]

[exercisms]

C. . .

[He doesn't scream Yona have you met this kid. He just mumbles something that sounds like 'ater' and freezes with the door to the locker open staring into it. That's definitely his nice roommate's dead body. Bye.

. . . Is there spacesuit in there missing, by the way?]

[retellers]

[ Yona scales the shuttle but does not find the answers to life there. Or much of anything else, really.

Cater is probably squished in there with a normal-looking spacesuit.

In the lockers Zuko checks are two normal-looking space suits. ]

[dawnblushed]

[alas. she jumps down from the shuttle.]

Did you two find any--

[oh. that's... that's cater.]

...thing...?

[cuedoves]

[ if mods are generous they will tell us if we got everything ]

[ oh also zuko is definitely looking up at the ceiling before body discovery im traumatized ]

[ but it's time to react to the body!!! zuko's eyes go wide ]

Cater?!

[ zuko has two hands mob and yona, have at it ]

[exercisms]

[He's frozen in panic he's not grabbing one of Zuko's strong hands listen this is a lot to process.]

[retellers]

[ Nothing on the ceiling!

Have fun mourning Cater now. ]

[dawnblushed]

[YONA IS VERY UPSET.]

...let's bring her back.

[she's going to carry cater's body herself if one of the boys doesn't stop her! away they go.]

[cuedoves]

[ he is going to put one hand on mob's shoulder anyway, to try to shake him out of it. ]

Don't look.

[ little late for that, zuko!!! anyway, to yona: ]

... I'll do it.

[ zuko's stopping her!!! so he can do it. and yona doesn't get all bloody :/ ]

[exercisms]

[Looking at Yona, and then up at Zuko. The hand on his shoulder calms him a little. He's okay, he just sometimes needs a moment or two to process things.]

. . . I can help, too.
