WEEK 3 INVESTIGATION

[foundationmods]

Three weeks had gone by, and even with the other Witch being revealed, Friday came.

Waking up on this day began to feel like the prelude to something horrible.

To a horrible sight...and some kind of deep betrayal, knowing that one of them had ended the lives of someone they'd been speaking and laughing with just the day before...🗈

...But, they had no choice. This was the game, and it had to be played - set in motion by the pair of Witches.

No matter how they felt, they had to search, to gaze upon cruel death in it's many forms.

No matter....how dear the person once was to them, today...they would be nothing but a corpse to gleam clues from, in preparation for the trial.

And so...they had to push forward. Forward...to find a terrible truth.

Comments

[excavated]

[ Well, since we're going from room to room, even though Sora might have found the bodies, maybe there's stuff elsewhere, so.

Has anyone ruined the kitchen in any way today? ]

[foundationmods]

[The kitchen isn't ruined, but -

Someone left out a teapot of hot water.... well, cold water by now.

There's also some boxes of tea still sitting out.]

[excavated]

[ Well, that's interesting. And also duly noted.

He's definitely going to check out the boxes of tea - is there anything notable about the tea? Like what kind of tea it is? Tea leaves or tea bags? ]

[foundationmods]

[Tea bags! More importantly, it seems to be a box of chamomile tea and a box of Valerian root.]

[anonnomnomnom]

Syaoran! What’s for breakfast?

[Apparently after tripping over two non-dead bodies this morning and probably being around before that Anon’s getting peckish.

He’ll be coming in from the kitchen garden if there’s anything of interest out there.]

[excavated]

Let me finish checking over here and I'll make something real quick. Probably something simple to eat. [ He's going to check the two boxes himself to see if he can do a count on how many tea bags are missing. ]

[foundationmods]

[Nothing in the kitchen gardens! There are, however, two tea bags missing from the chamomile box, and one from the valerian root box.]

[anonnomnomnom]

I always get so hungry on Fridays.

[Anon that’s terrible. But also they keep having to scour the mansion and everything so look, he has an excuse and a strong stomach. His stomach is swole as fuck. Anyway, he’s coming over to peer at Syaoran’s spot.]

What’re you checking? Did someone finally get poisoned?

[excavated]

Someone left tea out. Apparently there's a few tea bags missing, so I think that whoever was in here met with two other people. There's two chamomile missing and one valerian root bag missing. I don't know if someone got poisoned, though... [ Syaoran's going to go ahead and take another glance around to see if he can find any teacups, missing or otherwise. He's used to this kitchen by now, so he'll be checking any relevant cabinets and drawers for it if necessary. ]

[foundationmods]

[There aren't any teacups.

Hm!]

[excavated]

[ . . . Hm, indeed. While he's checking, are there any other missing objects in the kitchen, or are we just suspiciously out of teacups? ]

[foundationmods]

[Nope! Just precisely two teacups are gone.]

[anonnomnomnom]

Well, the whole garden is poisonous right now, and the forest is always poisonous, so I'd be surprised if it didn't happen sooner or later. Besides, poisoning the drinks is apparently a mystery classic.

[This is what happens when he starts reading mysteries. RIP.]

Maybe somebody got the idea from blue blood stuff in the book?

[As he's chattering away he is helping look, though. Anything unusual about yonder teapot?]

[foundationmods]

[Nope, it's an entirely normal teapot with cold water inside of it.]

[excavated]

[ ... Huh. Well, guess he's just going to go ahead and quickly make some onigiri for the others and be the emotional support doggo. ]
