WEEK 5 INVESTIGATION

[foundationmods]

...
This was....what happened every friday.
A new body to discover.

But...why was there a scream in the halls...?🗈

It echoed on and on, with the person screaming apparently never needing to stop for breath...

It was a fitting soundtrack to what they'd see today, wasn't it...?
Like what you would hear in hell itself.

So, in the end...they had to search, to find the body and find the clues that would bring them to the killer themselves in tomorrow's trial.

...What kind of horror will they find today?

What kind of death did one of their number face?

And what sort of horrible, heart-rending truth....will be the end result, at the end of this week...?

[ Okay time to investigate







IS RIKU ALIVE?]

[foundationmods]

[PAN I SWEAR TO GOD

YES

YES HE IS ALIVE AND NOT LIKE A FUCKING HORSE HEAD IN YOUR BED]

[cryosurgeon]

[After the party last night, Erhard helped Sherlock to his room (they have their promise, but Sherlock's room reeks of smoke) and they fell asleep together. So when Erhard groggily wakes Friday morning, his hand slides across the bed, searching for his companion.
Because Sora has the right idea... what does he find?]

[foundationmods]

[


No one is there.]

[aleph_armed]

[Gebura is... actually in her room for once. Before she checks out the source of the scream, though... Is there anything weird about her own room? Are the stakes okay? ]

[foundationmods]

[Nothing's weird!

The Stakes are also fine, though they're all clearly excited, gossiping around and being themselves.]

"Are you going to go exploooooring, Lady Gebura?"

"Oooh, oooh! Bring us along, bring us along!"

"Quiet down, all of you! Lady Gebura will decide who to take!"

"Take all of us, take all of us!"

[youkaiwatch]

[ oh god here we go again. SOUTH HALL????? ]

[foundationmods]

[well....]

[incrediblystressedout]

[Joey wakes up, rather blearily, in her room. She might be clearer-headed than some of the adults, but sugar crashes still aren't conducive to waking up alert and hydrated.]

[The screaming is a problem, but that's quickly explained when she leaves her room and can tell it's coming from the South Hallway. After dealing with that in another thread, though, she's going to go check out the Ballroom, since that's where she thinks she remembers falling asleep.]

[foundationmods]

[Her room and the ballroom are both clear!

...There's a goat eating leftover garbage. Why u gotta be gross, ambrose.]

[goldenmaniac]

[Yeah let's assume Emi sent the pupper off to look for our missing arm.

Cuz fucking hell, that sure is a missing arm.

I'm so sorry this is gross but his first thought is to check the kitchen, including the fridge/freezer cuz I hate my self.]

[foundationmods]

[There's no arm in here!

...but all of the knives are missing in the kitchen.]

[byanyother_name]

[Well, if bodies were being dragged through windows, someone should probably check the outside. So Kurama is going to go take a look at the garden.]

[foundationmods]

[Nothing in the garden, though kurama will notice drag marks leading from Holmes' window to the mansion entrance.]

[respring]

[ Well. She wants to help, so she's gonna take a look at the beach and then head over to the gardening shed. WHERE IS THE ARM. ]

[foundationmods]

[There's nothing in the gardening shed, though as she goes to the beach, she'll find a kitchen knife sitting in the surf, as if it washed up.]

[keydomhearts]

[ After leaving Sherlock's room, Sora is going to so a search of each of the Guest's Rooms.
Checking Under the bed, between the mattresses, on top of the bed (sorry anyone sleeping s'up), checking desks, windows, their wardrobes/closet things, clothes (shoes), checking the floor, the bathrooms, and checking the general state of things. What's up? Do we see anything at all or smells anything? ]

[foundationmods]

[Well, Sora won't get far in his searching before he finds something. Because there's something on the bed in Watanuki's room . Be careful getting over there though, because there is blood on the floor as well.]

BODY ANNOUNCEMENT

[foundationmods]

[As always, the goats sweep in - and tell everyone the horrible news.

Sherlock Holmes and Wheatley are dead.]

[aleph_armed]

Tch, they got Wheatley, too?

[That's it, half the people that came here are dead now. Well, she was excluding Shadow and Watanuki from that list, since even if they're still around, they weren't... Part of the team anymore. And now it's down to twelve people left, with another person to go tomorrow...]

injury check!

[rikuchi]

Since it worked last time, can't hurt to look for any injuries this time, right?

Let's see what you got. [ Pause. ] Except for the girls - you can organize who will check who among yourselves.

[ Saving himself from embarrassment electric boogaloo...

Anyway, if anyone wants to check out, aka Sora Riku, they'll find he's clean. ]

[cryosurgeon]

[Riku can check Erhard without a fight, he's still catatonic in the south hallway. He also has no injuries.]

SNIFF CHECK

[keydomhearts]

[ First, he's checking to see who has showered or is cleaner than they should be.

Second, he's sniffing for any chemicals, blood, or cooked/burnt stuff ]

[rikuchi]

[ Nope, same as last week. He's clean! ]

[goldenmaniac]

[After seeing Wheatley was yeeted he's off to the docks to see if any boats or nets or so etching have been used]

[foundationmods]

[Nope!]

Book hunt!

[goldenmaniac]

[ Kyoko once told him that finding lost items is the most basic of skills a Detective needs to learn.

So once things calm down he goes on the Hunt.]

If I was hiding something as big as a book, where would I do it...

[Let's try the library first! But he will move from room to room, getting in all the little corners and nooks. Let him get up in dem rafters if he can]

ALIBIS

[anonnomnomnom]

[Well, since this has become an unfortunate tradition at this point--

Anon and Kurama grab each other's hands and here we go again.]

Alibis, please.

[Even though he doesn't look all that enthused about it, at least his face is less intimidating than last week.]

[keydomhearts]

After the games in the ballroom, I went back to Riku's room to go to bed.

[ Usually they shared a bed. And again, Sora looks and sounds genuine. He's telling the truth. ]
