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!

[ The headless body ... of ... someone who was wearing tracksuit pants and an emporium t-shirt... Hm. Unhelpful.

Well, they can tell it's a teenage girl at least? I'm sure that helps! It's not like we don't have seven hundred of those! ]

[uhhhmagic]

I don't-- There's no head? How am I supposed to know?

[OH. HATE THIS? Well.

About who's height does it appear to be - uh, minus a head? Does it have any injuries that he'd recognize (sumi????)]

[papasha]

Be careful. Watch out for any more traps.

[Carefully, he unravels his arms to let Lup down onto her feet, but he's already moving himself by the twins.

His face is grim. He doesn't like that it's a girl. But he'll cautiously slides over to see if he can tell anything else about it.

Are there any other wounds on the body? The stomach, the arms, the legs? Wow, there's no head. Hate that!]

[evocationary]

[ she's going to be careful with traps. she's going to look around the area to see if she can find the head hiding under a rock or something. is there anything on the walls around here? ]

[retellers]

[ is taako going to undress the corpse to tell re: bruises. She's sitting down, so it's hard to gauge height properly. It's illegal to ask for wounds before Saturday, but there's a pool of blood under her and a blood splatter on the wall about in line to having come out of her nerk.

There's some more scratches and dings on the walls around here too! Also there's no head under a rock but there is another trap, except Lup is being careful so it's just boring. If the leopard wasn't in another location I'd put it in. Anyway, the temple obviously keeps going much deeper than that, in case you are wondering where you are. ]

[uhhhmagic]

[No, because I am taking the mods leopard threat as a hint.]

Fuckin'-- Should we go deeper in?

[Starting to limp that way. I bet the head is just. On display somewhere horrifying. Someone will owe me five dollars if it is.]

[papasha]

[STOP, YOU TELL HIM WOUNDS SO HE CAN TELL WHO THE HELL IT IS.]

We should go together, and be careful. [He glances to Ru. Is he going to have to carry this corpse back???? FUCK.] Are you all right?

[The TRAP, but she was careful.]

Let's stay together this time.

[evocationary]

I'm fine, I'm being more careful! [ getting a closer look at the scratches and dings... what do they look like they were made by? are they at lup's eye level, above, below ]

I really hope the head is not back there. [ she looks vaguely sick. but she'll stay closer to the two of them this time after she's done looking at the scratches. ]

[retellers]

[ be happy i even gave you a gender without going "are ya looking at the tits, kids". anyway. marks on the wall are mostly under eye level for lup, and they look like they were made with something sharp. they vary a little in height, but don't go any higher than what her eye level.

anyway going that way, they will find

that they are now

at the temple maze. if they want to go deeper in.

good luck. ]

[uhhhmagic]

[oh my god we have ten minutes to solve this stupid maze]

Stop being careful and come on! Geez! Rush in a little!

[i know the trick to mazes is you pick one wall and follow it. So. Doing that? The right wall? I don't know. Is there anything on the ground, like blood trail or drips to lead them?]

[papasha]

[There's probably traps.

Blanca has a corpse I think? This is hell.]

At least stick together even if we're moving quickly.

[He'll be satisfied with that. He will follow along as fast as possible. He's the mule, but he's tall. Can he see... anything... from this height? It'd be hilarious if he could see over the top of the maze even though I know he can't.]

[evocationary]

[ sorry blanca she's going to take a different wall from the two of them and follow it for faster maze solving, as fast as she can!! also looking for blood trail or drips... or scratches/dings!

let me do this maze i've got an intelligence of 20 ]

[retellers]

[ There's absolutely traps and Blanca is carrying a corpse, and i flipped a coin and Blanca and Taako are also now meeting face to face with an angry ape. so. that's better than a minotaur at least.

Anyway Lup also has to dodge traps but she does not run into an angry ape and a LITTLE less dead ends. There's unfortunately no way to tell which way is right, because there's nothing in the maze to help. Is there even anything at all. Is this a wild headless goose chase. ]

[uhhhmagic]

[The tank is busy with a body, so, he can't even grab Taako, who is . . . limping fastly in the other direction already. Look. He's pretty good at booking it when he needs to.]

I hate this fucking place! Goddammit! Fuck! LUP COME ON WE'RE GOING

[papasha]

[i

Well, blanca would absolutely fight the angry ape, but his arms are full, and he's more concerned about Taako and Lup, so he backs up until Taako is past him and then turns to also book it.]

Dammit. Ru!

[evocationary]

[ haha she can't hear you yell her name taako you keep fucking forgetting

anyway she's going further into the maze bye she's gone forever LET ME FIND THE HEAD ]

[retellers]

[ um

anyway she does not find the center of the maze and just finds more traps. ]

[uhhhmagic]

[noooooooo now I have to go into this stupid maze for my stupid sister nooooooooooo

Anyway, sorry Blanca, Taako's scooting off to go after her? Bye. Bye!!!]

Ruby! The fuck!

[papasha]

The both of you!

[HE HAS TO GO TAKE THIS BODY BACK, STOP RUNNING OFF. UGH!!!!

Fine, he'll come back in a bit to find them after he deposits the body jesus.]

[evocationary]

[ what happened to the ape

anyway it's after five so we can say taako finds lup eventually with a very annoyed look on her face. she has several more arrow grazes. there is one across her face because anna was not here to stop me this time. ]

I hate mazes! This sucks. [ >:U blanca carry us out of the ruins ]
