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!))

[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]

[helmdivide]

[ THey did go hard. ]

So quick question... did you notice anything under your nails or in your hands when you woke up? You know, besides all the blood.

[beastlybruno]

No, nothing of the sort.

[overlordad]

Not that we'd know since you showered.

[beastlybruno]

I'm being honest, Takashi.

[overlordad]

I'm not saying you're not- but we all want the wish, so we have to be careful.

[helmdivide]

Maybe we should check the drain? Some of the flesh bits could have been caught there?

[beastlybruno]

[Thanks for breaking up the argument, Jack.]

... Maybe, yeah.

[overlordad]

On it.

[Here he goes]

[foundationmods]

[You find whatever flesh bits were big enough to not go down the drain, what is wrong with you all??]

[beastlybruno]

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