CHAPTER 7 ; INVESTIGATION
CHAPTER 7 - WEEK 7 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 ( Instructions on this week's investigation can be found in a pin in the General chat!

Pocketing the vial and the letter, though, she goes for the other pocket.]
no subject
The other pocket has another note.
Is she reading this one too?]
no subject
no subject
I'm sorry.
no subject
Veronica stares at the note for a moment, quiet, before she just... folds it back up and returns it to Rebecca's pocket. Okay. We're good on corpse inspection for the day.
Making a beeline for the unlit lantern! Is there anything immediately off about this one besides the fact that it's no longer burning?]
no subject
no subject
She's going to take the unlit torch down, then, and bring it over to one of the currently lit torches. Anything visible now? Also: How hot/cool to the touch is the unlit torch if she taps the top with her fingertips?]
no subject
The top of it feels about room temperature.]
no subject
Once she's done with the unlit torch, though, she's going to set it down so she can take one of the lit torches. She'll backtrack to take a look at the area where the unlit torch was. Anything of note on the wall, floor, or the thing that was holding up the torch?]
no subject
There's nothing on the wall, floor, or... the
thing that was holding up the torch... i don't know what that word is...SCONCE i know the word now, megan is a hero. anyway, nothing there that looks out of the ordinary, but she can totally search the rest of the room with her newfound light source if she wants.]no subject
Anyway, yeah. The torch is now her new best friend. She's going to check for any signs of blood or ink along the walls and floor, before moving onto the pillows. Are the pillows okay? Did they survive whatever the torch and book went through?]
no subject
There isn't blood or ink on the ground - but she will see some dark marks on the ground near the altar!]
no subject
Anyway, time to go back to the area surrounding the altar. What are those mystery marks, disembodied mod voice?]
no subject
Hmmmmmm. Wonder where those could have come from.]
no subject
No, just joking. She's squinting at those for a second, comparing it to the size of the torch and shit. Does it look like they might have potentially come from someone dropping a torch here?]
no subject
The prize ... of knowing that her hypothesis was right.]
no subject
absolutely nothing that doesn't work to make her more upset.
Nice.
Going back to the altar. Now that she has extra illumination, is there anything she might have missed on top or around it? Un...der it?? Same for the statue of Tiger.]
no subject
no subject
She's also checking if the anthology looks like it might have gotten bludgeoned by a torch.]
no subject
no subject
Is there any way to tell what kind of damaged the book sustained, in that case? Was it dragged across the ground? Dropped? Hit with something that isn't a torch?]
no subject
no subject
Anyway, she's leaving whatever evidence she might have missed to the mirrors and mid-trial corpse groping... Sorry, guys. She's going to return the torch and then go sink into a hole until the glass cases shake her down for the vial and mystery author note. Goodbye, world.]
