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!

[ 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? ]

[retellers]

[ It is not wet!

And there is nothing that stands out on the ticket machines. There's spaces between them, but nothing there besides Pikachu's corpse once again. ]

[antaressnipe]

Someone who might have been with Yona the night before then?

[I am so bad at visualizing shit, I've never been to a train station.

-- Oh he'll check underneath the benches too! How can he even look when he's that tall? I don't know, don't ask me questions]

[dianxias]

Perhaps.

[ one last sweep for missing pikachu corpses! anything else of note? anything stuck in the light? what about the windowsills? ]

[retellers]

[ He is powerful, that's how. But there's nothing under the benches! And nothing else that stands out, whether it's in the lights or the windowsills, except for Pikachu. ]
