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!

[oh nooooo this is soooo groooooosssss

but iMPORTANT. elsa will remember that.

probably. this IS a memloss game?

anyway, time to comb the deck again, since the truce between wlw and mlm has been achieved, and elsa is absolutely checking all the blood to see if it's also full of. bone and. brain.

how finely minced is this bone and brain matter? like, through a meat grinder? a blender?

is there any semblance of spread? is it just all over EVERYTHING on the deck, or contained to one area?]

[supremity]

[ Somewhere, from the mlm/wlw ether, a voice that sounds like Hua Cheng (not Huarr Cheng, let's make that clear) whispers memloss advice. She probably doesn't hear it because that's a fourth wall breech.

I'm crying mod because I don't know which area this is of the three in the middle deck but he's going to look around it. Is there anything to see in the grime and the - idk clutter, what area am I in, ]

[siblingless]

[Nothing on, like, the cell bars themselves either, right? And nothing stuck in the cell locks? She will check the walls to see if someone carved Hua Cheng ♥ Xie Lian on them.

Anyway, if there is absolutely nothing in the holding cell area, she will move onto the cargo. She will take a cursory glance at the walls, floor, ceiling and the room itself. If there's nothing immediately off, she will shuffle off to check the ammunition and the items that are normally found in this room. Anything hiding between all of this?]

[retellers]

[ The gore is only in that one blood splatter area. However, there is a trail extending from said splatter, as if something was dragged...? It leads all the way over to the cannons.

I also don't know where Hua Cheng is but there is nothing in the grime.

Nothing on the cell bars or locks! But if she looks around the cargo hold, she might feel as though some things are missing? I don't know how much Yoshizawa normally keeps stock of the things here. ]

[showyourself]

[elsa industriously follows the blood splatter trail over to the cannons, looking this way and that for anything discarded on the deck anywhere, including along the way. let's search these cannons, too.]

[supremity]

[ Still crying, I am just going to semi-speedrun the whole middle deck to make life easier.

Hua Cheng checks the kitchen area, looking around the storage for food and everything, the cooking equipment, under and behind any furniture and whatnot. Failing anything there, he'll go poke around the next section to see if there's anything in the equipment and cannons and ammunition that might seem amiss. ]

[siblingless]

[She, unfortunately, does not take meticulous stock of what's in the cargo hold. Would she at least be able to get a vague sense of which items are missing some stock, even if not the exact amount?

The collection of chests will also get a look. Is there anything different about the chests if she takes a closer look? Or anything strange around or under them?]

[retellers]

[ As Elsa checks out the cannon... huh, it seems like something is inside one of them? Might want to pull that out.

Hua Cheng does not find anything amiss.

I'll be nice and let Yoshizawa at least Perceive that some rope is missing. There are some chests missing, but that's been the case since before Thursday. Y'all are thieves. ]

[showyourself]

[well! elsa is just going to whole-hog reach into a cannon with one arm, because when has elsa ever had a second of self-preservation in her wholeass life? never. here we go. she's grabbing and pulling out whatever's in there!]

[supremity]

[ Go Elsa go, live your fisting dreams.

Anyways. Making his way downtown, walking fast, heading into the crew quarters. Hua Cheng checks along the walls, ceiling, and floor, but checks the sleeping arrangements and anyy possessions here. We have a feeling that Elsa and Yoshizawa found the payload on the boat. ]

[siblingless]

[Cool! She will take one last cursory look around, but if there's nothing here, she will make her way back to the deck. Because I am paranoid, she will carefully move to the area with the splatter, stop, and look directly above. Specifically, she wants to check what parts of the ship are above it or in the vicinity of it. Any convenient rope up there...? Did someone fall and go splat?

Enjoy your corpse discovery(?), Elsa!]

[retellers]

[ Hua Cheng finds nothing, and there is nothing in particular above the blood splatter.

Elsa pulls out... a body! It's dressed like a space pirate, complete with the eyepatch. Also, it's bloody and definitely not breathing, or doing much of anything. Hm, bad.

Aka, Laine Brick is dead. ]

[showyourself]

[well

elsa screams

and falls over backwards

and the body schloops out of the cannon and on to elsa

so now there's a disney princess on the poop deck being crushed by the corpse of a one-eyed man

but not for long, she rolls him off of her! it's all fine, folks! rigor mortis!!]

Somebody! Please help! I've found Laine--he's not breathing!

[supremity]

[ With investigations coming to a close on the 6 PM EST crew, we pour one out for this member of eyepatch trio.

But Elsa screaming, and all the noise above deck, has Hua Cheng coming up the stairs at full speed, and -

Ah. There's no helping Laine, he's fairly certain, but he'll at least come over to help Elsa with the body, and to make sure she gets up to her feet again without disturbing too much of the remaining, non-body evidence. ]

[siblingless]

[SORRY TO SAY, SHE IS USELESS AS FAR AS CORPSE HANDLING GOES.

But she will go fret over Elsa (without touching) as soon as she realizes what's happened, sucking in a breath before nyooming over. Godspeed, 7PM EST block gang. May you find a third corpse.]
