CHAPTER 2 ; INVESTIGATION

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 ([plurk.com profile] 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!

I mean, it's possible. Sure, people might get up to some bizarre and grotesque antics while trying to stave off boredom, but that doesn't mean they hurt anyone in the process!

[ Anyway gonna take a closer look at this machine? Do any of the openings have residue or anything in them? Can he tell if it's anythings been poured into it? ]

[ instantly, with a perfectly cheerful tone and expression: ]

Bizarre and grotesque? Well, I'm sure you'd know!

[ anyway,

Monika will note the missing fire striker, humming as she sets the basket down to go through the cabinet more thoroughly. ]


... this is so strange ... who here would know magic well enough to use these things?

[ She'll glance past the cabinet. Is there anything else in the lab that's interesting? ]

Aw, don't be like that! My interests are entirely innocent and mostly wholesome.

[ Anyway what a bust! ]

Alls well that ends well though.

Mm... for some reason that's kind of hard to believe!

[ She'll close the cabinet, wondering about that powder. ]

... and you know someone is still dead, right? [ her shoulders are kind of tight. ]

[ Wow Monika, kill the vibe much? At that, the smile drops from his face. Gone with the flip of a switch almost! ]

I don't know, actually. Neither of us do.

[ a shrug ]

Like I said, maybe we got lucky.

[ Unlikely ]

Anyway, you were wondering who would have the know how to use this stuff? Probably that shrimpy kid who's always stabbing himself in the name of discovery or whatever.

Someone is dead! [ she snaps, all pretense falling away from her, too. ] Wasn't it you who told me we're all "equally screwed"? Don't pretend like you don't know!

[ Her hands twitch, like she means to gesture but can't figure out what she actually wants to do. She seems really agitated for some reason. ]

Hi pip I’m sorry about this tag

[personal profile] holybind 2018-06-23 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ He flinches if only because he’s realized he’s forgotten he said as much. It’s been a long week. ]

Uh, I say a lot of stuff, darling. You can’t expect me to remember every conversation I have with every pretty girl.

[ He does remember though ]

I get that you’re all worked up, as any person would be! But I didn’t kill anyone, so maybe direct those frustrations else where. Unless of course, you’d like to take them out on me via more pleasurable methods.

[ the really unfortunate thing about him saying that to her is that

she

turns like

bright scarlet. not out of anger, either.

she's trying to look mad, her eyes narrowed, but really it mostly looks like she's actually considering it. ]


... come talk to me about it later.

[ blows him a kiss, turns on her heel, and walks out ]

[ that reaction’s cute.

but he expects her to yell, cry even maybe. So when she says that, well— ]


Sure, sure— it’s a date.
