CHAPTER 2 ; INVESTIGATION

[themodsgrimm]

The Story Continues... CHAPTER 2 - WEEK 2??? Narrators Remain ; 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 Britt (bloodthirstiest), as she will be taking point on this investigation! Instructions on this week's investigation can be found in a pin in the General chat! full navigation. locations taken (statuses) stories (profiles) info & faq wishing well private conversations

[ rapunzel doesn't wear shoes so she's wading right in, holding out her frying pan. pascal is alert, too! ]

I'm okay --- Veronica, you should stay behind me, just in case.

[ just in case she needs to smack a bitch. :/ ]

[Into the water they go, and... when they turn the corner, they're greeted with the sight of a ghostly-looking woman! She seems to be combing her hair. The little lantern set into the wall keeps flickering, but she doesn't seem bothered by it.

She does seem bothered by the sudden arrival of the two of them. She turns toward them with a gasp, and the torch flickers, going entirely dark.

...

It re-lights itself five seconds later. The woman is gone.]

[asswipe]

No way. I'm staying right beside— [wait] ... you?

[Well. That sure was a ghostly-looking woman. And those sure were some flickering lights.]

... Uh. [Glancing over at Rapunzel, wide-eyed.] Was that a ghost? That was totally a ghost, right?

[hairbrain]

Oh!

[ well, she's there and then she's gone -- not totally what she expected. ] Yes, I think so. Let me see --- if she's still here.

[ where tf did you go, moaning myrtle! ]

Helllooo? Are you here?

[themodsgrimm]

[No one else seems to be there.

The bathhouses are clear.]

[asswipe]

[On one hand: Thank god. Their hopes for a pool party still live.

On the other hand:]

Yeah, um. I don't think she's coming back, Rapunzel. [Jesus.] At least there's no corpse here? Or... anything, really.

[ frankly i am shooketh. ]

Huh. I wonder if this was her home.... or there was something keeping her there... [ musing a little. ]

Yeah, I guess that's the upside. Maybe we should check somewhere else.
