WEEK THREE: INVESTIGATION
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. 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! |

anyway!! let's scan around said mound really quick for a shovel or a murder weapon
otherwise, time to check out the weird ass swamp. are the yellow flowers anything particularly recognizable? since they weren't counted as "wildflowers"? give me flower lore
xie lian describes out loud: ] Archer, there is an entire garden suddenly right here in the forest. There are several kinds of plants...um, wildflowers, the grass is kind of tall, there are vines, and some yellow flowers as well. There's also a pile of dirt, about as tall as [ however tall it is because jan doesn't love me ] and, it's all very damp.
If the ground's been disturbed besides - [ gestures at the garden ] this, then something may have been buried. We should uncover it, if we can.
no subject
Well, at least I'm not drunk this time... here I go!
[ she's a field researcher, she's not afraid to do some dirty work! so, she does her best to dig through the dirt mound using her hands. IS THE HEAD HERE ]
no subject
Chiron is actually going to slowly make his way to this garden (I'm being nice to him and saying Xie Lian gave him coordinates, let me be!!!) and uh, start feeling with his fingers the weird plant growth, including the tall grass, wildflowers, yellow flowers, and vines. Ideally he wants to take some samples and put them in his baskets, if he's able.
... Though since the ground is a bit soggy, ha ha. How far does he make it before he dies in swamp water or something.
Also I completely missed Chiron's flank being petted but Alyssa has rights so it's okay]
no subject
Alyssa digs, to find... more dirt! Is she also going to dig a hole in the ground while she's at it.
Chiron's legs sink into the soggy ground, and because he's blind, he doesn't notice a vine that he will also trip over. But he... seems to fall onto something? ]
no subject
[ sorry alyssa you are on your own for digging for a second. xie lian's going to go help the horse, hurrying over to support him.
what did he fall on! xie lian can see it. ]
no subject
no subject
Anyway he can not see what he fell onto, but he is still going to struggle to get the fuck off of it so Xie Lian can see with his eyes]
-- There is something here, I believe.
no subject
It's hard to see from a distance because of all the tall grass and yellow flowers, but once Xie Lian is where Chiron is, he will see that amidst the growth, there is a body. ]
no subject
[ bad. xie lian taps chiron's side carefully as he helps himself back up, his voice very serious and quiet. ]
...Archer. Walk with me this way.
[ and, very carefully, guiding chiron towards it too, xie lian will walk over to investigate the body. (hey we got a bog body, kind of?)
...does it at least have a head? ]
no subject
A lion costume...?
[ she tries to dig a little more if she's able, just to see if there's anything else under the kigu. if there's nothing, she'll stand up and take the kigu with her, red in the face as she walks over to xie lian and chiron... and then she gasps. ]
Oh my god—who is it?
no subject
Chiron will follow the sound of Xie Lian's voice and allow him to handle the examination because again, he can't see shit and will instead wait until the reveal/further instruction]
no subject
Anyway, good news! 1) The body has a head, even if it's hard to tell at a glance because of all the grass and flowers growing from it. 2) Congrats, you didn't kill another teen. 3) Hua Cheng doesn't have to be jealous anymore.
Shiro Fujimoto is dead. ]
no subject
Shiro!
no subject
[ cool! two weeks in a row on body discovery too! even though she manages to stay on her feet this time, it never gets any easier, and alyssa stumbles backward as xie lian screams. she manages to just catch herself on chiron as she throws our her arm, steadying herself before shakily asking, ]
Um... do you guys think you can... carry the body, or—or should I go back and try to find someone else?
no subject
Chiron is just still as stone at that announcement, and thankfully his weight can take the others leaning upon him.]
... I will move him.
... You two, please examine the area as carefully as possible.
no subject
If not, the body waits patiently. Because it's dead. ]
no subject
[ xie lian says, quietly, sounding clearly shaken, and pushes himself forward. he's going to at least lift shiro up, gathering him carefully under the shoulders and under the knees to lift him, careful to not disturb much. is he attached to the ground or something.
or worse, if his head rolls off, i, sisi, am going to kill maple personally. ]
no subject
but alyssa simply nods, before remembering, the horse can't fuckin see that, so, ] Y-yeah, of course. Here, um, I'm going to put something on your back while I look in the plants. It's a lion costume I found in the dirt.
[ just like, to minimize the surprise as she lays the kigu over him before crouching down again. can she take samples of the flowers and vines for evidence purposes? actually, is there anything actually growing from the ground, or is it all sprouting from shiro's body? ]
no subject
no subject
Alyssa can, and yes, there are plenty stuff growing from the ground too. As Alyssa does this, she will see an arrow embedded into the ground not far from where Shiro's corpse was, buried in the plant growth.
I'm being nice and pre-typing this so that you might have time to grab the evidence, but if you don't, then you don't get that arrow whoops. ]

To reward your efforts in nyooming at the last moment, I'll even tell you that when Alyssa grabs the arrow, she'll see blood and brain bits on it too.
Now go and carry Shiro's body away. ]
