WEEK FIVE: INVESTIGATION

[retellers]

WEEK FIVE: 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 sixth 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 WOODS

[retellers]

[antaressnipe]

[It is week five and you all have failed to fulfill my greatest wish. Again.

So I guess a horse is alive! And in the woods. He'll glance at both of his companions with a faint smile before looking around his surroundings to see if anything is immediately amiss. His baby deer remains by his side, peering out between his legs.]

Tread carefully, both of you.

[canned]

[Alphonse is here, he's alive, and full of cats (no he left them behind before doing anything dangerous actually he's not irresponsible)]

Yeah, these woods seem a little more dangerous than the ones across the bridge. Miss Alex, you should maybe stay between us, and tell us if you see anything.

[he's definitely starting by checking the ground as cobblestone gives way to grass and dirt, looking for signs of tracks leading off into any specific direction of the woods]

PLAZA INN

[retellers]

[reconnective]

[well. it's week five and he's alive, so he's walking alongside xie lian as they approach the inn. his movements are still a little slower, but he opens the door to see if there's anything immediately out of place in the lobby at a first glance.]

Do you think everybody listened to the rules last night?

[dianxias]

[ xie lian's taking it at sora's pace as they head inside of the plaza inn. ]

I don't know - I hope so. By now, I would hope that we've all learned to sleep in groups, at least...

[ but considering that this is an investigation spot we both know that probably didnt happen.

sora covered the first glance! what's the first sweep glance at the kitchen? ]

PINK CASTLE (OUTSIDE + MAZE)

[retellers]

[evocationary]

[ well, lup is unfortunately alive, though only just barely. she's very pale but she's determined to not be totally useless.

unfortunately she is definitely going to make zuko carry her. it's fine, she doesn't weigh very much. anyway, she gestures at the... outside. do they see anything weird? ]

[cuedoves]

[ zuko is still mcfucking injured from his wednesday stint and covered in bandages but he is absolutely stubborn enough to piggyback lup. it's fine. he's fine. ]

Are you sure you're up for this?

PINK CASTLE (FOYER + SITTING ROOM)

[retellers]

[supremity]

[ We're starting in the foyer because we're not heathens and we read the comment subject.

Hua Cheng is - fine. He's obviously aware of his surroundings and isn't wobbling, but his arm is still very much missing and his hair is braided over his right shoulder to hide the fact he's missing a whole fuckton of it. Also, he's wearing a very fancy dress with a very high leg slit. He doesn't seem to care much. Even if it clashes with the bandages. ]

We've got a lot of ground to cover. [ What's a quick look at the floor and ceiling tell us, metatext. ]

[recrowns]

[hua cheng you are so gently lopsided?

soo-won is here and he's - uh, covered in soot, so that's cool and fun. he also seems to be currently working on trying to apply a bandaid to his own face where he's bleeding a little... why.....]

So we do...

[yea what's up based on first glance! is there anything weird about the staircase in the foyer either? do we have chandeliers, are they all intact]

PINK CASTLE (SPA)

[retellers]

[robopriest]

[Another day, another murder. Or murders. Hansa wanders into the spa, because clearly a place of relaxation and bliss couldn't POSSIBLY contain any bodies, right?]

Hey, Ange. [He says, giving the girl a nod in greeting before wandering into the spa.] Let's check it out.

[lecarre]

[Ange doesn't want to be here and it's a miracle she's upright, but here she is.

She's got her missing eye all bandaged up so now they are ~*~twinsies~*~, and her right arm is splinted and bandaged close to her chest.

So!! Let's do this thing.

She nods in greeting in response, mostly looking tired and smelling deliciously of freshly baked bread, and steps on inside. Anything immediately jump out at them? Any bodies in the baths?]

TOWN (BLACKSMITH)

[retellers]

[stillnot]

[ clementine got stabbed yesterday, but it's fine?! she's just moving a little slowly... leaning on stuff... nearly fainting... don't worry about it.

is there anything outside of the blacksmith? anything visibly out of place before heading inside? ]

[axecessory]

[ clementine this does not seem okay... but hilda is out investigating as well. she's covered in soot, which is also fine. ]

Don't push yourself too hard, okay?

[ if clem's checking out the exterior of the building, she'll head over to open the door. ]

RESULTS

[retellers]

𝅘𝅥𝅮 ♫𝅘𝅥𝅮 As investigation ends, a song begins to play from everyone's PHS. The birds are chirping And the flowers will bloom As we sing songs for hours Of all your friends' doom Let's count all the bodies Because that will surely help There's one, there's two, three And... oh, welp! Then, once it comes to a close, each participant will receive an alert to a new message: ???, Shigeo "Mob" Kageyama, Yona, and Fiora have been removed from the Realm.

EVIDENCE DROP-OFF

[retellers]

Various areas appear around the Realm where the participants can leave evidence, the corpse, etc. Some time later, everything left in those spots will disappear. Afterwards, although participants can enter the Planetarium and attempt to make a wish, their requests will go unanswered/receive a message stating that the Leader is busy. For the rest of the day, at least, the participants are on their own. ༶•┈┈⛧┈｡o°✥✣ 　　 ✣✥°o｡┈⛧┈┈•༶ Please report under this comment what evidence your character is leaving in the designated areas! If you do not report anything, then your character is responsible for bringing it to trial tomorrow and therefore the evidence will not automatically be available.

[robopriest]

Hansa brings in the standard! But he's keeping the little dinosaur :(

[chanteuser]

Alex is dropping off the bow, bloody towels and torn cloth. Also the knowledge that she saw arrows but didn't grab them in time.

[recrowns]

[it's a little numb - but he will drop off the (small) toaster, damp blanket, and scrap of purple cloth from the first floor of the castle]

[antaressnipe]

[Dropping off Yona's body...]

[cuedoves]

[ as soon as zuko gets this notification, he's smashing the nearest smashable piece of property he can find (sorry if anyone else is nearby!! very startling!! ) and storming off. ]
