CHAPTER 7 ; INVESTIGATION

[themodsgrimm]

The Story Continues... CHAPTER 7 - WEEK 7??? 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 1-2 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

[ah. hm. despite this discovery, Akechi still stands quite a ways away, staring at the corpse with that forlorn expression. it's rueful, but still mirrors the peace displayed on the gray-and-purple clad corpse's body]

Ah, yes. . . that's right. I have somewhere to be. Can you take it from here, Belph-san?

[themodsgrimm]

[The body continues to lie there, motionless.]

[...

belph just presses a hand against his head, looking increasingly exasperated.]

Damn it, detective. [...] Fine. You know I will.

[doublecrows]

[there's no verbal response]

[Akechi's smile returns, lifts one hand to smooth out the wrinkles of his tie, and gives Belph a two-fingered wave. a brisk gust rushes through the jousting grounds, and just like that. . .]

[. . . his figure disintegrates into a series of gold sparkles, scattered by the wind]

[themodsgrimm]

[So, like, yeah. Goro Akechi is dead.]

[axilium]

[well. anyway.

belph stands there for a moment, wondering what the hell just happened.

... then, he turns around and walks away BECAUSE WHAT'S EVEN THE FUCKIN POINT IN INVESTIGATING
