CHAPTER 3 ; INVESTIGATION
CHAPTER 3 - WEEK 3 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, the mods will be providing top-levels for you 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 ( Instructions on this week's investigation can be found in a pin in the General chat!

Oh, absolutely. Why, I taught him how to brew a few potions that I'm familiar with, as surprisingly, there were the properly ingredients.
[ And in fact, Fane actually sounds a little less acerbic and rude and more... proud? ]
He's surprisingly sharp.
no subject
Fane, looking through the ingredients, will find a wide variety of things this time - apparently fewer people have raided the supply cabinets than last week! He'll find a small bag labeled "affection," which doesn't seem very heavy; a vial with a clear liquid in it labeled "extract of sikod," whatever that means; and tin labeled "carbon black powder" up near the front.]
no subject
[ he eyes the equipment curiously, and then turns to fane. ]
Anything on your end?
no subject
[ He scoffs as he digs around, but he hums thoughtfully enough for the answer to Waver's question to be fairly clear. He pulls out the bag, vial, and tin, then motions to them for Waver to come take a look. ]
Well, perhaps. Someone has been busy, but kind enough to label them.

I bet that's what happened to Reyna... someone must have made some sort of charming potion.
[ he puts those back in the cabinet with a roll of his eyes. but then he turns to the carbon. he takes it, opening it to see how much there is inside. ]
This...isn't something I would use in a charming potion. Someone must have used it for something else.
no subject
It was Jae-ha. The idiot also got it on me. No, I don't wish to talk about it.
[ He'll just. Get that out of the way. He shakes his head, then actually grabs them out of the cabinet again. ]
If you don't have any objections, I'm going to keep these to destroy after the trial this weekend. I'll not have anyone else spreading this stupidity.
no subject
no subject
[ in the back of his head, he wonders if this would be a valid reason to get revenge on jae-ha...and how to do so. but it's a pleasant surprise that the carbon has been unused, and he puts it away. ]
Well, it seems that nothing else has been used here...although we should check if anything has gone missing. Last week it was the fire striker. This week it could be something else.
[ waver has some pretty good knowledge of what's in the lab! will there be anything that sticks out as missing? ]
no subject
[ He does sound genuinely thankful, if also exasperated. He tucks them into his jacket for safekeeping, since, who knows, maybe this week's murder was a crime of passion??? Point being, he doesn't want to accidentally destroy something that might be useful for the trial.
Otherwise, Fane will join in that search with a nod! Like Waver, he has a pretty good knowledge of what is and isn't supposed to be in here, though Waver might have a better idea tbh. ]
no subject
while the fire striker from the week before has been returned...
the one labeled "4" is missing again. 1-3, 5, and 6 are all accounted for.]...a different one is missing!
no subject
[ he pinches the bridge of his nose ]
Is this castle full of pyromaniacs or are we dealing with a previous culprit?
no subject
Again? Ugh... [ He shakes his head ] Wonderful. Why, I would hardly be surprised by either, but I would certainly prefer the latter. That would make tracking them down far, far easier. The faster we get through those blasted spectacles, the better.
no subject
no subject
[ it's a troubling thought, but one that shouldn't be ignored. ]
However, we will have to still observe the evidence as a whole tomorrow. This may be another try at framing. Or a sign as to who is dead. Hoist them by him by his own petard and such. Although I don't see why that's necessary, considering the fact that Natsuo was brought back to life.
[ shrug. he'll continue looking for any other signs of missing things. ]
no subject
Or someone finally absolutely lost it. Considering how-- [ He pauses to wave a hand vaguely ] --unused to death and murder the people here seem to be, I half expected that, to be honest.
[ But dismissiveness aside— ]
...That, or perhaps someone thought it easier to just copy what was done previously.
[ Though the last part is largely muttered more to himself. Once Waver takes another look, Fane does the same! Best to be thorough! ]
