CHAPTER 5 ; INVESTIGATION

[themodsgrimm]

The Story Continues... CHAPTER 5 - WEEK 5??? 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

What a relief... There's nothing bloody or scary in here at all.

[He's honestly glad, even if it means other people are finding horrible things elsewhere. But sure, he'll check on the bread!]

Let's see... I'll have a look. ♪

[themodsgrimm]

[There are loaves of bread in here! Some of them are missing pieces, but that's pretty normal from people eating things during the week. The kitchen hasn't restocked it overnight.]

[concasse]

The kitchen usually doesn't have too much in here...

[Which might be why he keeps coming in here first. That or he just wants his coffee.]

Find anything strange?

[Looking at the spice rack and the alcohol cabinet now... he fully expects the latter to be half-empty, AS PER USUAL.]

[finethanks]

It doesn't appear as though the kitchen restocked anything, so there's some bread missing. Nothing is strange, however.

[He's tired of this useless pantry and leaves it, now moving back to Sanji's side to help him peer into the alcohol cabinet.]

There's nothing that I should... move to check behind, is there, do you think? [Sanji knows what he's asking, but he figures he'll check if he can be useful.]

[themodsgrimm]

[The alcohol cabinet is, perhaps, a little more empty than usual. But then again, it's been a tough week with multiple injuries.

The spice rack only contains spices.]

[concasse]

No, no. Don't worry about that.

[He does know what Eichi is asking and nah, not necessary.]

We might've found all there is, though...

[Like he'll give the stove a glance, again to see if anyone might've been cooking on it, but he's running out of places to check.]

[finethanks]

In that case, would you like some tea? The others have likely searched their own areas by now, so...

[So he'd like to relax, he's tired just from the IDEA of a body. And his arm really hurts.]

[themodsgrimm]

[The stove doesn't look like it's been used since before curfew! Some people take their dinners here, after all.

But hey, if you're gonna make tea, it'll see some use this fine murder morning!]

[concasse]

[pERKING UP AT THE IDEA OF TEA]

Sure, if you're making it.

[Doot-dee-doo, guess they are done with the investigation, may Sanji find some chill before he finds out one of his best friends is fuckin dead.]

[finethanks]

Of course. I'll make something suited perfectly for breakfast.

[So they can relax despite hurt arms and have a moment of peace before Murder Reveals. He's going to cry over both the bodies this time! Yay!

Well, at least they found bread crumbs and saved some water.]

[themodsgrimm]

[Enjoy your last few moments of peace with your tea before the announcement, you two!]
