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 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?]

[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.]

[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.]

[cuedoves]

Me too.

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

[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?]

[exercisms]

[Oh no, oh no, oh no. But at least he sees two familiar faces?]

Yona-san, Zuko-san, thank goodness.

[He will. Go take a look at the lockers?]

[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? ]

[siblingless]

[Yoshizawa is already here when they arrive, looking a little... unwell? Though, maybe that's because curfew happening again has freaked her out. She has a bag slung over her shoulders, moving carefully as she goes to approach the others.]

Um... Yes. [Uncertainly, casting a cursory glance around the plaza. What do we have here?] Here?

[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.

[arcsplainist]

[ Once the door is opened, he'll help himself in, glancing around. ]

Only time will tell. Let us first see what we find.

[retellers]

[ Nothing seems off at a glance for Yona!

Zuko will notice that the doors to the shuttles are open.

Which locker is Mob taking a look at? ]

[retellers]

[ I'm punishing you all because I said in the announcement to start in whichever location was noted first in the header!!

Which is to say I'm ignoring your tags, you're at the Emporium. What now? ]

[moondumplings]

[ despite the fact that usagi looks like she just rolled out of bed (pictured: see the bow she left in a pigtail), she still looks relatively ready to investigate. even if she does stick her tongue out at lup's back. ]

Mermaid-sans probably wouldn't like that anyway.

[ she does however glance nervously around the river and surrounding areas when she says it. nothing just hanging out there in the open, right? no disturbed dirt? ]

[retellers]

[ Well, good news for Homura, she was right and there is a session already in progress in the VR room. It looks like they've stepped into a large classroom with multiple desks. There's red carpet on the floor between the desks, a teacher's desk in front of a blackboard and windows to the outside.

Of course, none of this is real, so does it truly matter?

There's some stuff on the floor that looks a little more real, and something seems to be written on the blackboard... ]

[dawnblushed]

[hm. well, just to be safe, she's going to check out the emergency airlock switch to see if it looks like it's been used lately or if anything is out of place there, but if not, she'll follow zuko to the shuttles!]

[lecarre]

[...A classroom? That makes her feel a bit bolder. She steps in properly, and then moves towards the blackboard immediately to try to get a better glimpse of that.

WHAT IS IT...]

[retellers]

[ Probably the first thing they'll notice is a tray with two teacups has been left on the bridge. That's normal.

There's no disturbed dirt near the river, but there does seem to be... something in the river. It's difficult to tell from a distance. Lup has to be the one to jump in because she said she wouldn't. ]
