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

[... Yeah Sanji just uses his own clean kitchen knife to casually cut open the bandages, he wants to see what is hiding underneath!

SHIRASU, WHAT DID. YOU DO]

[themodsgrimm]

[It's a dishrag! Not super abnormal, but you never know. Take a closer look?

The bandages on Shirasu's wrist have been revealed to have been covering scratches. The other bandages are covering burns. All of these wounds appear clean and tended to.]

[axilium]

[belph doesn't want to be here right now but okay, he'll take a closer look.]

[concasse]

[Sanji takes note of both with a neutral expression, though afterward he'll fold Shirasu's arm over himself, and rearrange the body so it's at least... looking peaceful.

R.I.P. Knife Stealer.

But now he will go and fetch that towel he used before. He wants to wipe up a small portion of blood from the knife, to see if he can get to the ink color below! ... Assuming there is an ink stain below the blood.]

[themodsgrimm]

[Is there? Hm...doesn't look like he finds anything when he tries.

But Belph's dishrag does have a stain on it that looks a lot like golden ink.]

[axilium]

... Hey, Sanji. Found golden ink.

[anything else around the area, modly text?]

[concasse]

... We lost a Hero, huh?

[not a surprise. They're the faction with the most people left. Seas, he hopes Rebecca is alright.]

And I don't see any gold or purple ink hiding under the knife, so...

[themodsgrimm]

[ He might notice...the sink looking a little wet. ★~(◠‿◕✿) ]

[axilium]

[wow

amazing]

Hmm.

... Can you try sniffing the drain?

[idk just in case i give up]

[concasse]

... Sure.

[Maybe there will be a smelling poison and another Hero will get to die.

So yeah Sanji is gonna go SNIFF THE FUCKIN DRAIN.

What does his elf nose smell?]

[themodsgrimm]

[It's very faint...but his elf nose will definitely be picking up traces of ink.]

[axilium]

[rip sanji]

Well?

[concasse]

Ink.

[Pulling his head back like he didn't just shove his entire face into the sink. So cool, so suave.]

Probably gold, but I don't see any color.

[themodsgrimm]

[ (☞^o^) ☞ ]

[axilium]

... All right. Think we're done here?

[concasse]

Let's check the rest of the kitchen, just to be sure.

[He's gonna look in the oven and the pantry real quick!]

[themodsgrimm]

[There's a body in the oven!

No, I didn't bold it so it wasn't true. Both places appear to have been untouched.]

[axilium]

[well, belph doesn't know what else to check, so.]

[concasse]

[bELPH PLEASE.

Sanji supposes he could check the fridge too, but he is tired, to be honest. If there's a body in there, it'll keep for a while.]

Alright, you already checked the cabinets so I think we're good.

[axilium]

Affirmative.
