CHAPTER 1 ; INVESTIGATION
CHAPTER 1 - WEEK 1 The clock begins to chime, and on the first note, curfew lifts. Your doors swing open, whether you are ready or not. Leaving your room is a blur. The person you fell asleep beside — are they still there? Have they vanished? Were they ever there at all? You can't seem to recall clearly. What you are most aware of is the pervading sense of wrongness in the air, and how you can't hear anything but the chime of the clock. Even the sounds of your own voice and your own footsteps do not reach your ears. By the time the time the clock strikes nine, you know one thing to be true: blood has been spilt. Search the castle carefully — you wouldn't want to miss a single important detail, would you...?  Welcome to this week's investigation post! This time, you all will be posting your own locations that you wish to search. Please note the Locations page for your reference. Evidence — or lack thereof — will be noted in these threads. We ask that group threads consist of no more than 2-3 characters. After the discovery of the body (or bodies) and any pertinent evidence, an IC announcement concluding the investigation will go up. You are then free to make your own toplevels on this post for any threads you would like to have between the end of the investigation and the start of the trial. If you have any questions, please ask on our Discord server or ping us on plurk. Please direct pings to Danielle ( Instructions on this week's investigation can be found in a pin in the General chat!

...well, it seems like there's a cake in the oven, anyway. It looks delicious, but as soon as Hikage blinks, it's gone.
No cake for him and Sanji. :(
Behind them, the kitchen door slams shut. Spooky!]
no subject
Open the oven to double check.
[Sorry Hikage Sanji is bossy. He's also going to very carefully pick his way to the kitchen door and try. to. open it??]
no subject
[ OPENING IT once again hoping nothing jumps out and attaches to his face phantasm-style ]
no subject
And... the kitchen door is locked, for some reason? Hm. Maybe you need to canoodle to get out.]
no subject
Sanji is stuck in the kitchen.
Where he spends literally all of his free time.
This is
the worst]
...
Whelp, guess we're stuck.
no subject
[ Hikage doesn't want to be stuck in here with Sanji... ]
There must be something we're overlooking. Come on.
[ the fridge? he's looking in the fridge now. ]
no subject
Sanji and Hikage live here now, I guess.]
no subject
I'll try kicking the shitty door down after I make my coffee.
[JUST CASUALLY]
no subject
[ THIS IS NO TIME FOR COFFEE!! is there anything else in the room Hikage can try and open and/or investigate?! a window, maybe?! ]
no subject
...
Maybe they can wedge a butter knife in the gap between the door and the doorframe to shimmy the lock!
Or maybe they can just chill a bit and have coffee. Or canoodle. Either option is fine.]
no subject
[HIKAGE I AM SO SORRY FOR SANJI.
Also he is damned serious about that coffee so upon seeing there's no way to escape, he's going to make that coffee. Or at least start it. He'll turn to poor Hikage eventually.]
Alright, let's find a way to get the door open. I got the coffee started.
[YES NOW THEY CAN PROCEED]
no subject
[ he cannot believe he's stuck in here with some curly-eyebrowed weirdo who's more concerned about getting his coffee break than possible murderers on the loose!! you better believe he spends the entire time sanji is making that coffee trying to find a secret exit, looking for more exit, and angrily rattling the doorknob. The idea of wedging the knife in the gap doesn't occur to him, because he's never had to do anything like that before...
also, he's mad at sanji now ]
no subject
[SANJI IS SO CHILL? Who is this man, he's never this calm. Anyway he's going to nod to one of the drawers.]
Try a butter knife to get the lock open... No shitty guarantee it'll work, but I wonder if the kitchen door locked on whoever was here last.
no subject
[ also DON'T CALL HIM A KID, HE'S ?? YEARS OLD. Hikage doesn't exactly know what he's talking about, but he's frustrated enough to just go along with it, and tosses Sanji one of the knives. Yes, literally, he's throwing it towards him. Catch. ]
no subject
Also despite being the chef, Sanji's bff is Nami. Who unlocks all the locks and steals all the things. So yeah. He is. Actually decent at this. THAT SAID, will he actually succeed in shimming that knife through the door and doorframe, opening the lock?
Because he actually does not care, his coffee isn't finished yet.]
no subject
no subject
Finally. [ he moves to just... leave... but, miraculously, he actually maintains a modicum of politeness here, and turns to look at Sanji. ] I'm going to go check on the others. Thanks for nothing.
[ it was a very small amount of politeness ]
no subject
[NO POLITENESS HERE.
GET THE FUCK OUT OF HIS KITCHEN.]
