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

[ Idly she wonders if Ann killed him because of their titles, but whatever. It doesn't matter for this week.

Does he think it might be Ann's... Ghost?]

[alchemenace]

I. Don't think her voice went that deep?

[ this is his only objection to that yea? ]

... Not to change the subject, but I can't help but notice you are kind of playing charades with me. [ it's been like five minutes but thanks for trying varian ] Did something happen to your voice, Miss Bunch?

[ She flips the book open and taps on the word "magic" several times. This place is magic, why wouldn't she turn into the giants when she died?

Anyway, she nods and mimes throwing a coin into a well. Wish gone wrong. ]

[alchemenace]

Magic-- no. [ magic is no excuse!! ] Then why didn't anyone else come back as their title? I might not be one hundred percent familiar with ghost rules, but I'm fairly certain it'd be more related to drowning. Or that she would be haunting Akechi.

[ implying he's alive. also he squints at her mime for way too long ]

...oh. The well? Obviously. That's where everything goes bad for everyone.

[ What she can't find on this page she's stuck spelling the words out.

Well the giant doesn't have a Jack to bother. Besides, she was the only one who's gotten a

happily ever after ]

[alchemenace]

I can't say the idea of Ann being a literal ghost giant haunting us forever isn't both unsettling and also not quite what I would associate with an "happily ever after" end, but I suppose there's nothing to directly refute your theory.

[ hm ]

... Which is not great.
