CHAPTER 3 ; INVESTIGATION

[themodsgrimm]

The Story Continues... CHAPTER 3 - WEEK 3??? 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, 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 (bloodthirstiest) and Danielle (entrappings), as they 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

[ though he and zelos may never see eye to eye on most things, waver's going to put those aside for a moment. ]

My condolences. Were you close to her?

[holybind]

[ A normal person would take the sympathy offered to him. Acknowledge his feelings, mourn and find comfort in the fact that the people around him will not let him dwell in his emotions alone.

Zelos, unfortunately, is Zelos. ]

We slept together a few times.

[ it's said flatly.

He continues to play with the butterknife in his hand. ]

Do you count that as close?

[londonstar]

It depends. Some people have an easier time detaching their emotions than others.

[ he glances at zelos, and then at monika ]

Did she give you that?

[holybind]

Yeah, to prove a point.

[ he slips the knife back into his pocket, feeling strange with it out now that someone’s actually asked about it ]

She wanted to prove she could take control of her life, so she told me to keep it— said she wouldn’t need it anymore.

[londonstar]

I see.

[ it must have had something to do with her change in attire. ]

You won her trust. It must have been difficult for her to do that.

[holybind]

[ Ah,

slowly his gaze drifts just above Waver's head and he shrugs. ]

Dunno, maybe she was just starved for affection? Not sure how much you can trust anyone you've only known for a few weeks. But she was a good listener and she had a pretty laugh, those are the only things I know for sure.
