PROLOGUE ; INVESTIGATION

[themodsgrimm]

The Story Continues... PROLOGUE - WEEK 0??? 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 your first investigation post! This time, as it is tutorial week, we will be posting toplevels for searchable locations; moving forward, you will post your own toplevels for locations you wish to searh. Evidence — or lack thereof — will be noted in these threads. We ask that group threads consist of no more than 3-4 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 Danielle (entrappings) and Britt (bloodthirstiest), as we will be taking point on this investigation! full navigation. locations taken (statuses) stories (profiles) info & faq wishing well private conversations

[parodeity]

[ as far as feelings in the back of his mind go, dave prefers a sense the timeline went off course.

kind of.

not really.

he heads to the tailor because he likes the outfits and why the fuck not. ]

[concasse]

[Motherfuckers if anyone died in his kitchen, Christmas is cancelled]

Ugh... I need coffee.

[Alright bastards who else is in here?]

[sanguinairy]

[Hey guess what time it is it's RUSTY KNIFE PARTY TIME--

That is, Souji will be heading over to the armory because ???? Obviously you gotta check that with the weapons and all. He'll hold the door open for anyone else who wants to tromp around surrounded by busted swords and spears, looking near the entrance for anything particularly off while he does so.]

[axilium]

[so is this open now or what.]

[discardia]

[ yeah, she's just gonna assume if something feels wrong, it involves sharp objects. Though she'll dip a curtsy to Souji as she steps in. ]

[londonstar]

[ well...waver needs to wear something for today so he might as well also look for his clothes and hope that his feeling of dread isn't something awful.

please don't let it be something awful. ]

[wagashis]

[can't believe they had the same idea this is why they're roommates ig

anyway shirasu is also here to see whether it's still locked!!]

[asswipe]

[it's probably going to be something awful.

but hopefully not here??

otherwise, hi. veronica's just going to check this room out, as well.]

[wearys]

[ well, this is a weird feeling and magnus already hates this nonsense.

he's not going far in his tiger kigu right now. he's in the fire suite, near his and ann's room. ]

I bet someone tripped in their onesie and broke their skull.

[unromanceable]

... Sanji?

[ Ah... it's probably clear she doesn't really want to be here. Her face is very pale.

She'll move close to the chef, unsettled. ]

[doublecrows]

[TEAM BALLROOM, GET. . .?? giving a quiet nod to the other people who are here as his only form of greeting]

[fonlines]

[ Ion has the same idea??? Hi sick pal who may have played dressup with him, what's up?

He's spent enough time in the armory during arrival surely he might be able to notice anything obviously strange about the spears and lances? Since that's... sort of what he'd been looking for back then. He does smile and nod his head politely toward Souji as he heads through the door though! ]/small>

[vigilantics]

[ what's up dudes?? steph will be walking up after shirasu ]

Hey.

[disilluded]

[Sousei is here, but not because he wants to be--but there's a sour look on his face as he silently follows, arms crossed.

HI GUYS]

[function]

[ when 2b enters the armory, she doesn't stop to greet the others. instead, she immediately grabs a rusted sword off of a holder, in case a threat is in the room with them. ]

So this "game" is real.

[themodsgrimm]

[Before the four of them get much farther, they'll notice a body propped up against the doors. Hope they weren't too excited.]

[themodsgrimm]

[The game is indeed real, naughty murder children (and naughty murder adult).

Anyway, at first glance, the armory doesn't look too terribly disturbed. There are still weapons scattered around, though anyone who's spent any amount of time here may note that they seem to have been moved from their original locations.

Some of them, in fact, seem to be forming a pile in the corner.]

[nivation]

[ Kyouka is on high alert. Anytime anything feels wrong, it always means death.

She stands at the top of the stairs because it's better to get a view from above. ]
