WEEK 2 INVESTIGATION

[foundationmods]

Two weeks had gone by, and Friday had once again come.

As always, they woke up, knowing one of their number was now gone...
It was just a matter of finding their body, now.
No matter what the killer had done to it...a killer that was one of them.🗈

They would have to do that trial again...and would they get the killer right, this time? Or would they condemn another innocent person to die yet again?

...No matter how they felt, they had to search, had to find things that they didn't want to see, dodging the shadow of death.

That...was how this game was played, after all...

...But why...did it feel especially foreboding today...?

((OOC: Characters will need to bold locations to look for clues...or the body!))

[keydomhearts]

[ In his room Riku is still there and alive, right? ]

[foundationmods]

[Is this gonna be a thing every week?

Yes, he's fine]

[fullbodied]

[she's headed to the dining room.

She wants a snack before she loses her stomach again.]

[foundationmods]

[Get yon snack in peace, Ann. Nothing in the dining room.]

[literalidiotball]

[... Is it always gonna feel horrible every time someone dies? Because this feels horrible.

The last time, someone was found dead in their room, so the first thing to try is knock on everyone's door to see if anyone awnsers.]

Good morning! Are you still alive in there? Just say yes, if you are!

[foundationmods]

[He gets a noise from every room...

Except for Ruler and Watanuki's rooms.]

[byanyother_name]

[Kurama's going to check on the library considering how much time a lot of them spend there...]

[foundationmods]

[Library's clean!]

FOREST

[anonnomnomnom]

[Well, isn’t that a familiar feeling! As usual, he double checks the security of his own room before heading out.

He will wave at anyone on the way there, though. How is the edge of the forest this not-quite-fine morning?]

[foundationmods]

[Both seem perfectly fine this morning.]

[aleph_armed]

[...Gebura bursts out of her room, wet, annoyed, and having only cleaned off half of the glitter from yesterday.

...How is the north hall in terms of things? Does something seem off there?]

[foundationmods]

[...

Is there a noise coming from the basement?]

[incrediblystressedout]

[Joey wakes up, breathes a sigh of relief at not having been killed in her sleep, and gets ready, before taking pictures of some tape she put on the inside of the door and window in her room last night. Erika's little charms hadn't done anything to protect her, but they'd struck Joey as a good way to prove her own whereabouts.]

[Assuming the tape's intact and nothing horrible is hiding in her bathroom or closet, she'll head out to the sitting room once she's done. She's not feeling hungry this morning, for some reason...]

[foundationmods]

[Everything is fine in her room, and the sitting room is also fine.

Hey! Ann's in there with cake!]

BODY ANNOUNCEMENT

[foundationmods]

[As before, the goat butlers quietly go to everyone and tell them what has happened.

Watanuki Kimihiro is dead, and then they leave the guests to their own reactions...]

[excavated]

[ Hey. Guess who heard this and is immediately going to make a run for it and find out where the hell Watanuki is? This guy, who is looking rather frantic and panicked-- People might hear him just. Shaking people down asking in sheer anger: ] Where is he. Where's Kimihiro. [ No more last name basis at all. ]

[chaoscontrol]

[Shadow stumbles out of his room, looking hungover (again) and favoring his right hand.

Only to be told Watanuki was the victim]

... Shit.

[kagamiimagak]

[With everything from last week Kagami’s going to take the scenic route. Heading to the beach.

Hopefully if anything was disposed of here, it's been washed back. At least she's hoping.]

[foundationmods]

[Beach clear!]

[keydomhearts]

[ Well, with all of that noise is happening and being bummed about Watanuki, Sora is going to check everyone's rooms. Sup what do we have here. ]

[foundationmods]

[This time, there seems to be nothing incriminating in the rooms.]

People Check + Shoe Check

[keydomhearts]

[ So, we're checking for people who are showered or super clean, that may smell of soap. Or people who may be dirty still.
Checking under finger nails for any dirt or something that may be left behind.
And checking shoes! ]

[beguiledcard]

[ I mean, it's clear he must have showered before bed...??? But, it's not super fresh and his hair is a wreck. There's absolutely nothing under his nails and his shoes are fine. ]

Blood check

[incrediblystressedout]

So uh. Apparently the...scene was really bad.

[She takes a deep breath. Why does this keep happening to kids or barely-adults.]

Whoever did this covered their tracks, so they probably cleaned any blood off of themselves too. They'd have had to leave the room to get it off of their clothes, though, which means they could have tracked it.

So...who wants to look for blood trails?

[chaoscontrol]

Not a bad idea, but unless you're hiding some luminol in those pockets of yours, we're going to have a hard time. Whoever did this was meticulous.

Strip Search

[keydomhearts]

[ He... he really can't believe he's even going to suggest this. Covering his face. ]

Maybe we should check... more thoroughly? Does one of the girls mind helping check the other girls? And I can check the guys...

[ It's time to strip. We're going to check for any blood, paint chips, plant matter or bark. Checking the hair carefully. Can a doctor help Sora out pls he's a disney and theres only one person he really wants to see]

[excavated]

[ nada

you'll find the letter in one of the pockets but that's all I got ]

Sniff check

[chaoscontrol]

[Goddammit Shadow has too much of a headache for this]

Everyone, make it quick! I need an aspirin...

[Shadow himself smells like alcohol and bad decisions]

[beguiledcard]

[ Teen spite, anger, etc, same as last week. ]

... Want me to try finding you some?
