WEEK TWO: INVESTIGATION

[retellers]

WEEK TWO: 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, but at this point, everyone should realize what has happened. Time to investigate. ༶•┈┈⛧┈｡o°✥✣ 　　 ✣✥°o｡┈⛧┈┈•༶ Welcome to your third 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!

(NORTH) TOWN + TAILOR'S

[retellers]

[chanteuser]

[ well, here she is. what looks Wrong around the north of the town is there anything glaringly obvious when she starts looking around? nothing hanging out of windows or lying awkwardly on the ground? ]

[reconnective]

[he'll find himself walking a little slower, like he's concentrating on each step as he's glancing around the buildings and up on the rooftops. squinting a little, he frowns in thought.]

So...what do you think we're looking for now?

PORT + FORT

[retellers]

[antaressnipe]

[They're starting at the port because we are not godless heathens and we go in order.

But no for real, Chiron is here and taking a cursory glance around the port just to see if there is anything immediately amiss, though he'll nod to his companions.]

Good morning.

[Hope you all slept soundly through murder]

[riegan]

(Like me, Claude is also awake but has actually had a full night's rest.)

Morning.

(A polite greeting!! And going to check out the water? Is Reeces here?)

THE HOWLING ROSE

[retellers]

[showyourself]

[well. elsa has spent enough time on this boat this week that she makes a beeline straight for it, gathering hua and sumi in the process of making her way. boat stuff.

even as she's approaching and boarding, she's got her eyes open for anything weird or strange. the sides, the crow's nest, in the water beneath, the ropes attaching to the pier... she's been here a lot. what nasty shit went down on their BOAT.]

[supremity]

[ Guess who slept here for curfew? This guy. So he's just fine with joining in on the investigation, in case he can spot anything amiss from the night before. Even if he is - more quiet than usual, at first. He's just here to get down to business!

He heads towards the stairs to the lower deck once they get started, since Elsa's got eyes on the immediate deck. So he's checking around the opening and the steps themselves as he gets closer. Anything on the way there, anything within the surrounding area of the entrance, anything to see as he descends? As he raises his hand to let the two of them know where he's goin. ]

PUB

[retellers]

[robopriest]

Not all this again...hey, you two.

[Obviously, its time to go to the pub to get a drink before all this murder happens!! Hansa is here, though........why does he have a pillow under his arm? He also seems a bit distracted, just glancing around, but........well, its time to check out the pub, after giving the other two a nod in greeting. Anything off at first glance? Any bloodstains on the door? Neon signs? A whole body?]

[infreefall]

...Why are you carrying a pillow?

[ the judgment in her voice.

anyway, since hansa is taking the first glance, is there anything on the tables or the bar? is there a giant puddle of blood on the floor? ochako will carefully go lean over the bar to see if what's going on behind it. ]

SWAMP

[retellers]

[sacredchants]

[ i guess she's here at the swamp again. hooray.... what could be the worst thing that could happen to her? haha. ]

Hopefully we don't see any skeletons this time around.

[arkitect]

Well, don't get your hopes up too high. It would not be the worst place to dispose of a corpse.

[let's go find out if anyone was `yote` into the swamp. he is not taking the lead, though, checking the ground-- it's swampy, so do we have anything here?]

RESULTS

[retellers]

𝅘𝅥𝅮 ♫𝅘𝅥𝅮 As investigation ends, a song begins to play from everyone's PHS. Heave ho All hands on deck Bring the mop For the blood you trek Heave ho It happened again Bodies pile up Oops to them I did my best Then, once it comes to a close, each participant will receive an alert to a new message: Laine Brick and Raven have been removed from the Realm.

EVIDENCE DROP-OFF

[retellers]

No message from the Leaders, this time. Maybe they're tired. Or maybe the Powers That Be (aka your mods) are lazy. 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.

[showyourself]

[elsa and hc bring Laine's corpse between them. :(]

[chanteuser]

[ alex is dropping off arrow papers with blood, and painkiller bottles! ]

[arkitect]

[dropping off the blood-spattered swamp gloves and the makeshift spear!]

[riegan]

- A pair of gloves found on a boat at the port
- A pair of gloves found in the fort's jail

(Look maybe he'll tell them apart trial ok dont look at me)

[frostythehitman]

[ dropping off some bloody swamp clothes! ]

[sacredchants]

[ dropping of a skull mask! ]

[dianxias]

[ on the howling rose, someone sits up from the crow's nest, and looks down at the mess below, rubbing their eyes as if they've just woken up. ]


.....Ahoy....?

[riegan]

(HMMM, so for the most part, Claude looks fine. Sure, he's surprised and a little bummed out because those are normal things to feel after find out people died.

But at least, immediately after hearing the news, the Realm's gonna doxx Claude's emotions like it's been doing to everyone else this week.

He's feeling grief.

:(

Don't worry he's Claude so he'll be fine eventually.)
