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!

I'll check the interior, then.

[ seems good enough! xie lian's gonna start walking straight down the middle of the planetarium, taking careful steps and holding his arms out to feel around. he does have his phs, so he'll take that out and poke at the screen to get a tiny bit of light? maybe??? i don't remember if this worked last time.

if not he's going to put his arm out and feel around for anything weird. ]

[retellers]

[ Chiron will see nothing, not even fruit loops, on the ground.

It will give the tiniest of light, but it's better than nothing. Xie Lian will only walk into air. ]

[antaressnipe]

Have you found anything?

[That covers the floor and ceiling then, at least the left half he's searching. Are there walls in this building? I was assuming it was dome-shaped but regardless he will trail his hands on what counts as as wall inside here, just to see if he feels anything strange]

[dianxias]

Nothing yet. Though, it would certainly be easier if one of us had a light....

[ hmm. somehow not finding things is worse?

let's turn this tiny faint light on the ground, and then to the left, walking up and down the interior that way, instead. why do you guys always make us investigate this place in the dark

xie lian lets ruoye free from his wrist so it's like a dog leash, and it wiggles along ahead like a blind man cane. anything to run into? ]

[retellers]

[ Chircher will feel nothing on the wall, but he's close enough that he can see that there is one part of the wall that seems to be a very slightly different shade of dark than the others, but it's difficult to see why in the darkness.

Ruoye runs into nothing and neither does Xie Lian. ]

[antaressnipe]

[...

And Chiron immediately touches the wall that's the darker shade to see if it's, uh.

Sticky.

God I hope it's poison specifically meant to kill horses]

Xie Lian. Your light over here, please.

[Chiron you have your own fuckin light you useless oldie--]

[dianxias]

[ scurrying over immediately with his light!!!!! ]

What is it? [ and shining it on the wall!!! ]

[retellers]

[ There is... no sticky, alas.

But there does seem to be written on the wall! ]

If you find this, then don’t touch Yona! I’ll be waiting for you. Come find me and don’t drag anyone else into this.

[antaressnipe]

[... Eyes flicking immediately to Yona's name.

And scowling.]

Please check the rest of the walls with your light, if you could. I will check as well.

[Just in case there are more messages! Even though Chiron really just wants to bolt out the door right now, but yes, dragging his phs to see if there's anything else to see on the walls specifically]

[dianxias]

[ he does that - xie lian's going to look around with the light, up and down the wall, and then around the rest of the walls!!! just in case!

hey what's it written in? sharpie? jw. also what's the handwriting look like? is it big caps? cute and little? chunky? ]

[retellers]

[ There doesn't seem to be anything else on the walls! It's also in in thick writing, like marker. The writing is big, but neat. ]

[antaressnipe]

I have found nothing but the wording on the walls... I am not sure if there is anywhere else for us to search in here, either.

[Meaning Marie doesn't have a braincell so neither does Chiron today. There's no other door in here, right?? He'll wait for Xie Lian to finish up with his search if not.]

[dianxias]

Not without a light. Perhaps tomorrow, if we can get a Leader to join us. [ there's no furniture either so i think we didn't miss anything else.


can we nyoom onwards to the railroad station or did we just miss an entire body or something ]

[retellers]

[ They nyoom to the railroad station, it's fine.

What do they do first. ]

[antaressnipe]

[Chiron will be looking through each of the six turnstiles first since they're right there and all. six turnstiles for six dead bodies, clearly.

If nothing there, he'll take a look at any benches around the area]

[dianxias]

[ checking the bathroom and the outside perimeter first!! anything exciting to see? ]

[retellers]

[ Near the benches, Chiron will find a fanny pack. Wow, stylish.

As for Xie Lian, there is nothing outside or in the bathroom. ]

[antaressnipe]

[Oh perfect, he lost a basket during mini-event shenanigans, already got him a replacement--

Okay but no, really, he'll just uh. Inspect the outside first to see if there's anything suspect about it, and if not, unzip that sucker to see what it is in it. Also what's the color of the fanny pack?

He's a Dad. Everything under his domain is his property. This is fine.]

[dianxias]

[ what a great dad!

okay, heading back in. nothing out there, so let's check out the ticket machines!! and also the ceiling up ahead. and under the ticket machines. i trust no one. ]

What did you find, Archer...?

[retellers]

[ On the outside is a fire bird pin! But there doesn't seem to be anything noticeably off besides that. On the inside is... astronaut food! Someone was hungry. There's also a crystal inside it as well.

Xie Lian will spot writing on the wall next to the ticket machines. ]

Come out and face me you coward!

[antaressnipe]

A purse of some kind, with a bird pin on the outside. Inside of it is space food and a... crystal, I believe?

[He does not know the word for fanny pack, thank god]

And you? Have you found anything?

[While he talks, he's also going to quickly check that right side where that locked office is hiding, just in case someone sprayed a bloody message or something]

[dianxias]

"Come out and face me, you coward..."

[ he reads, out loud, for chiron.

is it the same handwriting as the planetarium writing was? does it look like it was written in a rush?

also there's not a convenient marker around somewhere is there. ] Over here, on the wall...it seems our messages have continued even here.

[retellers]

[ There are no bloody messages near the locked office!

It's also the same writing, big and neatly done. There is no conveniently placed marker nearby. ]

[antaressnipe]

Can you tell if it was written by the same person, perhaps?

[Hm, well. As much as Chiron wants to keep digging in this purse, he'll refrain because he remembers there was a fingerprint kit last trial so maybe there will be another one. Gonna gently place the evidence into one of his many baskets for now.

Going over to Xie Lian though he will throw a cursory glance at the ground just to make sure they didn't miss anything there.]

[dianxias]

It's the same.

[ reaching out to touch it very carefully! it's not wet, is it.

also the location says the ticket machines are very shiny. are there any fingerprints on it? convenient hand prints? also do all the machines touch - is there any space between them where something could've gotten stuck? ]
