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!

[ 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? ]

[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]

[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.]

[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?)

[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?

[evocationary]

[ lup is awake! she stumbles across the way and squints at both of them. ]

Mmmmbright. [ is her answer. she takes a step, and then another, and then pats chiron. and immediately shocks herself. ] Owfuck.

[ she's also looking around the port, mostly at the ground. ]

[uhhhmagic]

The next stop on the crawl? True love? A little self-respect? Ha! Up top!

[Holding up a hand. For a high five? Whoever is closest. Alex?]

I'm just kidding. What are we doing?

[retellers]

[ Nothing is immediately amiss! And sure, Reeces is here. It makes dolphin noises at them. Sorry for RPing your animal, Ara.

Nothing on the ground but the pieces of everyone's dignity after Wednesday. ]

[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. ]

[antaressnipe]

[We don't talk about Wednesday.

Also startling a bit because he also got shocked??? And there's a pause in which Chiron turns, arms held out like he's about to swoop up a naughty child of his but--

Right. The shock. His hands go down with a sigh]

Please be careful, everyone. [...] You especially, Lup.

[But anyway he's gonna go towards where some of the smaller ships are anchored? Again just checking to see if there's anything out of the ordinary. Are all of the small ships there in the first place?]

[retellers]

[ As they walk through this quaint town that is no longer on fire, the gang can appreciate the aesthetic of this place. And also might notice that there seems to be the world's worst flyers put up. Or, well. A piece of paper, at least. There's one in the directions both Sora and Alex are looking, but not Taako, because he is too busy looking for a high five. ]

[siblingless]

[Following after them! She will mind her step as she approaches the boat, taking a look at the surrounding area, the boat's exterior, and the floor as she goes. Unless there's a corpse or something super duper suspicious right off the bat, Yoshizawa will walk to the other side of the deck to peer over the railing, and assure herself there's nothing in the waters there or just hanging overboard.

If nothing, then she will check out the cannons, the sails and the helm, nodding at Hua Cheng when he descends.]

[riegan]

(Oh, hi Reeces sorry Jeanne isn't here? REECES IF YOU HAVE ANY HINTS LET THEM KNOW, THO.

Hmm, he's going to walk along the port a bit to see if anything is further down?)

[chanteuser]

[ alex will high five taako!! -- with a pen. respect rule 9, dammit, she's been shocked enough this week. ]

Looking for anything suspicious, probably?

[ she will gun for that piece of paper in her line of vision and nab it. and then give it a good look over. what does it say, oh modlymods? ]

[evocationary]

Stop, I'm fine. What are you, my dad? [ she says, huffily. she absently pushes her hair back out of her face. she's going to go after chiron, immediately just going at top stumble speeds towards the water. how many docks are there -

it might not matter because she just picks one and slips on her way, nearly falling into the ocean. she catches herself though, stops very pointedly, and then fistpumps.

hell yea. is there anything in the water. ]

[reconnective]

No, really? [so tiredly. but he's moving to also grab the flyer, even if his speed is a little slower.]

Taakoooo...quit playing around and help us look.

[retellers]

[ As Elsa boards the ship/stands on the deck, nothing about the ship's sides, ropes, or what she can see of the crow's nest seem out of place at a glance.

Hua Cheng won't see anything in particular as he descends.

As for Yoshizawa--well, funny that you should ask if there's anything suspicious right off the bat! On the floor, there sure is a lot of blood. ]

[retellers]

[ All of the small ships are still there! Does Chiron want to sail away in one...

Reeces makes noises. It could be telling Claude who killed, who's dead, or the secrets to the entire game, but Claude will never know because he doesn't speak dolphin. Alas. Also, Claude will not see anything in particular as he takes a scenic stroll down the port.

There doesn't appear to be anything in the water at a glance. ]

[uhhhmagic]

I'm not-- [He stops, holding up a hand in a "one second" motion.] I'm not! I'm very serious right now. I'm totally on task. I'm focused. I'm centered. I'm competent and cool and collected.

[Thanks, Pep Talk Taako. Um. Since the flyer seems to covered, is there anything else obvious around? If there's not, he'll sort of saunter on over to the little townhouses. Any of the doors open on those bad boys.]

[showyourself]

[well! wow! that's so much blood!

caught up in looking at the exterior, elsa gasps, and nearly backpedals off the deck. but she's wearing big firm pirate boots? so the blood probably won't... but it's so much blood.

how is the blood laid out? like, body-dragging, or just a pool of blood? did someone dump their blood cocktail on on the poop deck? jesus christ.

also since the word of the day is suspicious, what the fuck ELSE is wackadoo gross, out of place, or just generally looking involved in a murder around her?]
