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

[no he's done he's leaving

just kidding!

jae-ha will move to pick up the wallet]

This...?

[gingerly will inspect it, opening it to at least see what's inside?]

[vigilantics]

[ while he does that, she will go take a better look at the homestuck sword. ]

[themodsgrimm]

[Inside the wallet is a piece of paper! ...it has pattern of perforation on it.

God, I hope everyone's browsers don't turn that into boxes.

When Steph goes to look at the Homestuck sword, she'll find that.... it's lodged pretty tightly in there! There isn't any blood on it, and it doesn't seem to be damaged. Sturdy, that.]

[ . . . . ]

Steph, is dots a language where you're from?

[because it's

not one jae-ha knows

rip]

[vigilantics]

There are coded messages? Maybe that's something like that.

[ .... she cannot attempt to take this sword out without falling over. ]

[themodsgrimm]

[You kids with your dots and your swords stuck into walls and so on.]

[alttitude]

Ah - maybe the library will have something then.

[But also he's going to just. Squint at her. Look....]

... let's go? You shouldn't be walking around in the first place. We can look at the rest of this place later.

[vigilantics]

It's fine. This is more important.

[ natsuo....

but also she has been picked up and carried by enough people at this point that she does not doubt that jae-ha will do that, so with a sigh, she'd... go to him... ]

[themodsgrimm]

[Well, if Steph's going to Jae-ha and Jae-ha's going to get them out of there...

That's a wrap.]
