WEEK THREE: INVESTIGATION

[retellers]

WEEK THREE: 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 fourth 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!

[uggggh.]

Hold onto that, okay? [with that said, he'll walk out of the store and look to where hilda is.]

Anything?

[he will start wandering toward the savanna and checking the paths there to make sure nobody threw anything in the beginnings of the open area.]

[cuedoves]

Yeah..... sure. [ ok i just want to confirm if there's any other kind of scent from the fire... like flesh! or fabric! because zuko would be able to tell? does the fire look any bigger or smaller than it did before? ]

[ then he'll go join hilda and start looking inside the inside of buildings without actually going in to see if anything's there... ]

Just the.. outfit.

[axecessory]

No luck out here...

[ she'll go out in the other direction of sora—anything towards the tree? is there a leopard? has it eaten a body? ]

[retellers]

[ Sora finds nothing.

It smells like fire!!! That isn't your mod being coy, that's me saying there's nothing in it. You're fine.

Zuko finds nothing in the buildings.

Hilda finds nothing, unless you really wanted her to get attacked by a leopard right now. ]

[reconnective]

[well...did they really just find a lot of nothing besides the kigu? it's such a big space he's just. HE WILL CHECK THE GROUND CLOSELY FOR FOOTPRINTS OR DRAG MARKS OR BLOOD MIXED IN THE DIRT?

he will also hop into the penned area to check the petting zoo. maybe there's a conveniently placed cow on top of the murderer's name written in the dirt.]

[cuedoves]

[ ok well zuko is going to also check for any kind of tracks or marks anywhere, and he's also going into the petting zoo himself to check the ground and around the animals..... he will pet the animals too. ]

[axecessory]

[ is that an earnest offer? mods give me the leopard? in the meantime, i guess hilda will go look at the river again. anything off around shore? ]

[retellers]

[ Sora and Zuko do not find any tracks or marks, we banned footprints!! Wolf was just a monster. The animals in the petting zoo say hi and are appreciative of the pats, but they have no secrets to tell.

Sure, Nu, though you'd have, like, 20 minutes left to fight it. Hilda finds nothing at the river. ]

[reconnective]

[...sora picks up a chicken to pet while he leans against the fence.]

We can always come back tomorrow, but I can't think of anywhere we missed. Unless...[he looks at the buildings and on the roofs of the buildings? any paper signs or bodies or anything?]

[cuedoves]

[ okay zuko is going to fucking parkour up the building to check out all the roofs and everything from up above!!! now bring out the leopard so we can fight it ]

[axecessory]

[ okay let's fight this leopard for five minutes. anyway hilda goes back! is there anything... on the walls. on the ground. by the fishing supplies as she walks past? bueller? ]

[retellers]

[ Zuko finds nothing up on the roofs, and neither does Sora.

Hilda finds nothing, but a leopard shows up and lunges at her. ]

[reconnective]

[OKAY WELL I GUESS THE LEOPARD IS HERE NOW. LEONARD IS GONNA GET FUCKED UP BY HILDA EXCEPT--]

Hey!

[there you go. there's your warning shout while he's busy jumping out of the pen.]

[cuedoves]

--- Hilda!

[ zuko parkours off the roof and goes nyoom nyooming to kick this leopard's ass, swords unsheathed ]

[axecessory]

[ thanks for the heads up, pals ]

Wh—

[ anyway that transitions into a scream, but she sounds? mad? it's a frustrated scream. hilda is DONE getting attacked by ANGRY ANIMALS this week, so she has her axe out (where did that come from?) and takes a swing at this thing. her shoulder's kind of screwed up, but she's irritated enough to fight back!!! eat shit, cat!!!!! ]

[retellers]

[ The leopard is very annoyed by Zuko but Nu is the one who asked for this so it continues angrily swiping at Hilda, until her swing gets it in the back.

Then it just goes down sadly. ]

[reconnective]

[....]

Did you kill it? [now he just sounds kind of sad.]

[cuedoves]

[ at least zuko was a good distraction!!! also he will carefully check the leopard for evidence ]

I don't think it's real.

[axecessory]

[ hilda is about to cheer for her victory—she just took a leopard down in one shot? wahoo! go her!—but that uh, feels inappropriate. sorry, sora.

she will also examine the leopard while wiping her axe off on the ground. does it look like maybe it's eaten a head recently, perhaps? ]

[retellers]

[ There is nothing weird about this leopard. It was just a random leopard and you killed it. ]

[reconnective]

It looks real enough. [leopard...but he just sighs.

...and returns the chicken to the petting zoo that he accidentally took from its home.] Sorry.

...guess we have to wait for the others to see what they found?

[cuedoves]

.... At least we found something.

[ a bloody burned kigu?? ]

You both okay?

[axecessory]

[ the killer this week didn't get rid of the evidence in the leopard? unbelievable ]

It's okay—we did our best!

[ they really did :( ]

Let's see if what we found matches anything the other groups come up with.
