MOCK ROUND - WEEK 2 INVESTIGATION

[foundationmods]

Even though they had already been through this once before, the atmosphere in the air as they woke up on Friday still felt incredibly ominous.

Yet again, they would have to see the death of one of their own, and investigate as much as they could to find the culprit among them... 🗈

But unlike last time, today felt much more....intense. Like an odd smell in the air, or a palpable feeling of tension, something horrible hanging over them with a knowing sneer.

Even the sounds felt different, though all that could be heard is the normal sounds of the morning...
...

After this - after the final trial - things would be over.

Yet, has this....really been worth it...?

((OOC: Characters will need to bold locations/put it in the subject header to look for clues...or the body!))

Third time's the charm

[beastlybruno]

[By the way, someone's using the shower right now, so that means someone is alive in here... Someone who responds to the nickname Big Blue, by the voice shouting back.]

Huh? Jack? Takashi?! I'll be with you in a second!

[helmdivide]

[ ... not it for checking out the big naked dude in the shower. Takashi, you're a furry. Go see if he's okay? ]

[overlordad]

[He kinda glares at Jack, but whatever. Go check out the room kid while he goes over]

Bruno, are you okay?

room investigation

[helmdivide]

[ YOU ARE A PAL. WHILE HE DOES THAT, let's go check out the room. What can he see? ]

[foundationmods]

[For starters, the most immediately obvious thing is the intense blood smell, along with the fact that bruno's bed is practically soaked in blood. That mattress is definitely going to have to be thrown out now.

The door actually also has blood smudged around the doorknob, both inside and out. Should have told y'all that before you opened it, whoops.]

[helmdivide]

[ Whoops. Guess he has blood on his hands?

It's cool. Also why would anyone just bathe someone in blood? ]

Oh boy, this is going to be interesting one...

[ Any limbs, organs, or anything else? Also any blood trails at the window? ]

[foundationmods]

[There's, um.....flesh bits. No limbs or organs, though.

There's also no blood trail at the window, though the window itself is locked.]

[helmdivide]

[ Wow. Fun. Is there a weapon or anything? ]

Heeeey... you don't happen to shred people in your sleep, right?

[ Yikes to anyone having a slumber party with him.

Anything else in the room? Under the bed? ]

[foundationmods]

[Nope! The rest of the room is clear.]

[helmdivide]

[ Fun. Okay okay. Time to join Big Blue and Dad. ]

[beastlybruno]

[Please don't actually come into the bathroom, murderdad, Bruno would appreciate some decency right now.]

Mostly... This is going to sound horrible, but I woke up finding everything covered in blood this morning. Including myself...

Give me a few minutes to wash this off, please?

[overlordad]

[He waits outside, don't worry]

Try not to wash away all the evidence.

[beastlybruno]

You're joking, right?

[Of course he's going to leave his room as it is. He just doesn't want to be incorrectly painted red today!]

How did you two get in, anyway? I swear, I locked the door before I went to bed last night!

[overlordad]

It was open. You sure you locked it?

[beastlybruno]

IT WAS WHAT!?

[If he sounds alarmed, it's because he's being honest.]

Oh, no.

[overlordad]

[Takashi makes a thoughtful 'hmm' noise]

Jack is checking out the rest of the room for any clues on why.

[beastlybruno]

[... SIGH.]

Great, just great. What else could go wrong this morning? Other than someone else being dead?

[overlordad]

Don't jinx it.

1/2

[beastlybruno]

. . .

[He's just gonna finish showering in quiet.]

2/2

[beastlybruno]

[Soon enough, the shower is turned off, Bruno shakes off some of the water like a wet dog before toweling himself off like a civilized person. Give him a few more moments to get dressed and...

Bruno has joined your party!]

Ugh...

[overlordad]

How do you feel? Hurt at all?

[helmdivide]

[ Okay HERE HE IS to report shit. ]

I would ask for a new mattress if I were you. There's pieces of flesh and blood in your bed. Looks like someone had a party when you were asleep or something.

[beastlybruno]

[Bruno grimaces... He hadn't gotten a good look at it before he had to bathe but there's flesh in the bed too? GROSS.]

Some party... I get the feeling someone tried a bit too hard to frame me for something.

[Clearly, he doesn't like this at all.]

[overlordad]

They certainly went hard...

[That poor mattress]

[beastlybruno]

[Bruno shakes his head.] More startled than anything.
