WEEK FOUR: INVESTIGATION


WEEK FOUR: 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 fifth 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!

[ i should have saved my presses hand to face icon from last tag for this one. so now imagine, culprits, that oocly the icon here is her looking straight into your souls as i, personally, stare into the distance. repent.

meanwhile she's just very resignedly going to look around for another moment to see if there's anything she might miss or ruin by digging into the grave first because she is not ruining evidence by being too hasty. what are those damp patches. it's not specified as blood so is it not blood or is it simply harder to identify as blood. hm.

otherwise, if things are clear, she's settling down to get to it. it's fine, her outfit is from the clothing store anyway. it can get ruined. ]


Someone making use of what was available to them, it seems.

[Not to worry. He can backtrack and meet the girls halfway (or all the way, if they end up digging).

He goes where the blood splatters are the most concentrated. Is there anything else of note lying around in the area? As for the dirt, how does it correspond with the blood—are they generally together or arranged as chaotically as the dirt's appearance itself?

[ What about the grave is disturbed? Just the dirt in front of it, or the headstone itself? Also, what does the headstone read... ]

Do you have any sort of... jar on you, maybe? We can bring this weird dirt back.

... Not on me. The best I can manage is trying to tear off some of the excess fabric from these skirts and more or less carry it back in that, but...

[ because she's dressed in this. that said the skirts there look a little chiffony, a little sheer, so it's doubtful they can really uh, hold dirt very well, especially if there's a liquid of some sort involved too.

was... the earth where she managed to dig two feet into loosely packed? is does it still seem somewhat loose even lower? because if so, she's, hm, continuing to dig i guess, since that'd suggest it was all recently disturbed and that there might be more to find below...

if the disturbed earth was mostly just surface level though, she'll leave it. maybe someone just scuffed over the top and the real important thing was the weird drops. hey rufus what have you found... ]

[He's found the end.

Now that that's been established, he heads back, taking it slower this time as he follows the trail again. Is anything out of place on this return trip? Of course, he'll glance at the graves and stones as well to take note of oddities.

[ sigh... ]

All right, this will have to do.

[ she'll have to just hold onto her PHS for the rest of the time! she scoops up some of the Wet Dirt and puts it into her fashionable fannypack that she's been wearing ever since she got her second dagger back. bag of dirt. After that, she stands back up, calling out to Rufus. ]

Rufus! Find anything?

[ glad that yuuri tried real hard and got nothing for her efforts. truly, a metaphor for her life. if we're checking hands this trial everyone knows what to expect from her now.

but cool! nothing but loose dirt. thank you for red herrings, gravedigger- presumably. she's just going to mutter ]


If this is like those gloves again ... So what have we found, drag marks, skid marks, drops of blood ... disturbed earth, and strange liquid?

[ if it takes her a moment to join the other two it's probably because she's busy getting out of the hole she dug somehow. but yeah, let's regroup? ]

[Once again, Rufus ignores Fiora.

Presumably the girls will approach him, seeing as he's farther down. There was a damp grave earlier, wasn't there? Fiora and Homura probably have seen to that one by now. In that case, he'll crouch down to compare the size of the handprint to his before approaching the dry grave. He will dig with his bandaged hand.

Please assist.

bisouled: (too much to deny)

[personal profile] bisouled 2020-10-30 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Ugh.

[ ignored... she goes ahead and walks over, only to find him digging a hole? With his one hand that cannot, in good faith, be called his "good hand?" She gasps, then immediately stomps over, grabbing him by the collar and trying to pull him back. ]

Rufus!! Are you out of your mind?! You're going to lose that one, too! It won't kill you to ask me for help!

[ i'm sorry actually fiora is not digging yet because she has to babysit ]

[ well.

yuuri is going to compare her hand to the bloody handprint on the grave by the trail.

sigh. take a look at the wet patches to see if they look about the same as with the grave she tried to dig up earlier.

and get to work trying to dig. please let the third time be the charm, her nails must look awful now. ]

[He's pulled back.]

If you have something to say, I'm afraid that you will have to write it down. I can't hear you.

[Then he attempts to go for the damp grave to help Homura with his one very banged up hand.]
