WEEK TWO: INVESTIGATION

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!

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?]

Edited 2020-10-16 23:12 (UTC)

...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. ]

[ alyssa does not enter the pub, because... she's been here. she's clearly just woken up, having been curled up on a bench to sleep through the night. she's not pretending to be a dead body this week, though! in fact, she pushes herself up halfway and very cheerfully greets hansa and ochako when they walk in . . . ]

Hehe... guess who just so happened to borrow the company card before she left the building today? Drinks on the Director tonight!

[ this is fine ]

[ WELL

Alyssa stands up in the middle of a fucking wreck the other two get to witness. There are tables upended, broken bottles on the ground, the smell of spilled alcohol pervasive, a chair is broken.

oh yeah and also there's someone else sitting in a chair, head slumped, completely still. Someone wake them up? They spilled a little red wine all over themselves. ]

[Hansa just frowns at Ochako, raising an eyebrow at Alyssa's....outburst?]

Well, after this I have to use this pillow to-

[Wait.]

.....Oh no.

[Who the hell had too much fun in the pub? Hansa blinks, frowning, before walking straight over through the mess to see who it is.]

[ her eyes land on the body, and for a moment, ochako freezes. a moment later, she breaks into a nervous smile, looking everywhere else except for... whoever that is. ]

M-Maybe they're just asleep? Like Zaidelle-san was last week?

[ please just be asleep like alyssa was last week. ]

[ hansa and ochako's lack of reaction to her declaration makes alyssa grump a little, maybe even pout a bit if the way she puffs out her cheeks is anything to go by. ]

Umm, hello? We can order whatever we want and it'll be written off as business expenses! So what if I might end up fudging some of the paperwork, I have tenure, they can't just get rid of me.

[ she. puts her hand on the body's shoulder. in like. a "cmon dude back me up on this" kind of way. ]

Edited 2020-10-16 23:38 (UTC)

[ Unfortunately for Alyssa, the body does not seem to be interested in drinking. It may have, in fact, drunk too much. Because while she may be too. uh. let's be nice and go with "tired" to notice it, the other two will find there's no mistaking the paleness or stillness of this one. Also the red wine isn't wine at all and is, in fact, blood.

It looks like ~~Raven~~ Schwann is dead. ]

...

[Hansa just closes his eye for a moment.]

So we're the middle of this mess yet again. [A sigh.] Rest in peace.

[He'll reach forward and at least try to close Raven's eyes if they're open. Then, Hansa moves back to see what the state of the body is in. Any obvious wounds? A knife sticking out of him? Did he get killed with a drunk alcoholic baby that's somehow still around?]

[ well, so much for trying to stay positive. biting her lip, ochako turns away from the body to carefully pick her way across the pub. ]

I'm... going to check behind the bar.

[ her eyes are on the floor as she goes, looking for any signs of blood on the floor or maybe on the broken glass? i don't know. anything that looks out of place or murder weapony?

then she'll check behind the bar. anything hiding back there? another body to be traumatized by? ]

Are—are you guys even listening to me? [ she rolls her eyes. ] Way to be buzzkills.

[ too soon......... anyway. she. will drop onto her hands and knees to check directly under the chair raven is sitting on, as well as under the table. hewwo... modmeta... ]

[ I'm, uh. Alyssa drops directly into a pool of blood, I'm in tears. He's been bleeding out on his chair for a bit, looks like! I don't know if she notices! Also she might step into glass. The pub is a fucking mess. Why do you guys hate it so much.

The state of the body is for tomorrow, no cheating. But it's bloody and there's no weapon sticking out of him, I will give you that much.

Ochako, meanwhile, will be the one to notice the two mugs of beer in front of Raven. Schwann. Bird joke. ]

[Hansa is just going to..........look very concernedly over at Alyssa.]

Maybe don't get on your hands and knees in someone else's blood?

[GOD. Hansa spares a glance for the ceiling JUST IN CASE YOU NEVER KNOW before stepping around to see if there's anything else immediately noticeable around those broken tables or chair.]

...Was he drinking with whoever killed him?

[ that's... oh, hate that. hate that a lot. but okay - how full are the mugs?? did the murderer get drunk first? did they leave any bloody hand prints or foot prints on the bar or floor? ]

[ i'm crying you know what sure she'll get scraped by some glass on one of her knees. now she's bleeding into raven's blood. ]

Ow! That hurt...

[ the sudden pain is enough to jolt her into paying a little more attention, though, which means she's finally grasping that there is a dead body and a shitton of blood here and she, accordingly, screams. she falls back and scrambles away from the table and toward the bar... meaning that, even if she manages to knock into something in her panic woolooloo, she sure just got her own handprints all over the floor, thanks to all of raven's blood.

i am so sorry if yall were expecting competency here ]

[ there she woolooloos. Alyssa accidentally wooloos into a chair leg and eats shit. thank you, alyssa, for helping.

Anyway, there are no handprints or footprints on the bar or floor! And there's nothing on the ceiling. One beer mug is completely empty, and one still has about 1/5 of it left.

Hansa will mostly notice about the upended tables and broken chair is that it looks like there was a brawl in here, though except for glass most of it is at least Away from Raven's dead body. ]

[Hansa, in his investigation and still holding onto his pillow, keeps looking longingly at the door, like he kind of just wants to leave? But he just shakes his head, only for him to be further distracted by the wooloolooing.]

Alyssa! [UGHHHH] Just! Stay right where you are, okay?

[TURNING BACK TO THE GLASS is it recognizable? Like is it glass from the window, or from actual drink glasses? Also, any stains on the chairs or tables?]

[ so they had a drink, a fight, and then whoever killed raven set him up at the table like nothing was wrong. cool! hate it!

fuck i don't know what else to check because apparently there is nothing behind the bar after trying to check it twice. the kitchen door i guess?? is it still closed and locked?? ]

[ fuckin. alyssa is on the floor again. at least she's being good and listening to hansa's request to not go anywhere. sorry for needing to be the responsible girl this time, ochako.

please go on without me my stomach is rebelling ]

[ The glass is a mix of alcohol bottles and drink glasses. Why would someone do this. Also yeah there's nothing behind the bar itself except some missing alcohol bottles that are PROBABLY on the ground and some missing glasses. the kitchen door is still locked! there's a goddamn mess everywhere. and now there's handprints all over the blood.

there blood does seem to reach further than just under raven, though, like it sprayed first before pooling. i missed ]

[HMMMMM.]

Anything back there, Ochako?

[He's going to look closer at the blood. Any particular direction it splattered towards? Behind Raven? There's nothing in the blood?]

No, just bottles everywhere. It's like they just came to hang out, but...

[ a man doesn't usually die from hanging out? she thinks?

anyway, doing one last sweep before time and checking the other tables! maybe there's the other half of sora's broom somewhere? a murder weapon? a signed confession? ]

[ There is no weapon or signed confessions around here. Also no broomsticks.

The blood is splattered more on the front, away from Raven. Like it spurted in that direction. ]

[He's going to go behind Raven to see if there's like, a hole through his head or something. Also anything on the chair that he's sitting on?]

[ well, what if ochako goes to check the door? if someone was murderd theoretically they could have left some mark there? i don't know, i'm tired and my brain is smooth. ]
