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...?

Can you tell me what you used the command spell for?

[foundfate]

I can tell you, yes.

[keydomhearts]

What did you use it for?

[ Did you yeet Sherlock ]

[foundfate]

To 'call him to my side'.

[The opposite of yeeting, basically.]

[keydomhearts]

Huh? Did you want some company?

[foundfate]

[...okay, Watanuki is pulling back and giving Sora an incredulous look.]

No, I didn't just want some company! At least try to be a detective here!

[keydomhearts]

[ EXCUSE YOU. But there's almost a smile there as he reaches to poke him in the cheek. ]

Hey, you can still make those faces!

[ That's good. ]

Okay! Let's try this... did you summon him to get help for someone?

[ Since it's clear he didn't do it for himself ]

[foundfate]

[Watanuki looks incredibly frustrated when he hears that question. It's like Sora is close, but not quite right, and Watanuki can't correct the question to get it on course.]

That is not specifically why I summoned him, no.

[keydomhearts]

[ Maybe if they play charades?

Specifically huh... ]

Did you summon him for help of some kind?

[foundfate]

[Through gritted teeth.]

No. And you don't have to ask 'yes or no' questions specifically.

[keydomhearts]

Oh! That'll make it easier! [ MAYBE??? I play dumb butts Maple idk what you're expecting ]

Why did you call him to your side?

[ Can he just straight up ask ]

[foundfate]

Because I was in excruciating pain and I thought summoning him to me would make it stop.

[THERE FINALLY]

[keydomhearts]

[ YAY FOR BEING SMRT i am so sorry ]

Why were you in pain?

[ Brows furrowing as he looks him over. Doo de doo, can he peek under those sleeves? ]

[foundfate]

[He can! And Sora will be able to see no injuries on Watanuki. Though he is giving Sora a questioning look now.]

I wasn't personally attacked, if that's what you're getting at.

[keydomhearts]

Someone else was personally attacked. And you were in pain... wait what kind of pain?

[foundfate]

It felt like I got stabbed all over the place, all at once. There may have also been some crushing pressure, but I was more aware of the stabbing sensation.

[keydomhearts]

And the blood was his... when you summoned him, he was bleeding all over, right?

[foundfate]

...he was, yes.

[Watanuki glances away there, looking a bit guilty.]

[keydomhearts]

[ Putting a hand on his shoulder to give him a squeeze. ]

Look, you didn't know...

[ Also that must have been a shock. ]

Did you get knocked out or did you faint?

[foundfate]

[Thanks for your reassurances, Sora. Watanuki glances up at him for a moment, then to the hand, but ultimately looks away again.]

Fainted. The pain was immense.

[keydomhearts]

[ Want another hug? Just going to put his chin on Watanuki's shoulder this time. It's okay! ]

I'm sorry that happened to you...

[ Two dead and another in a lot of pain. ]

They did drag you back in here...

[foundfate]

[..okay, he'll take that hug. He really needs it right now, and most of the people who used to hug him are now demons.]

I guess? I was unconscious by then.

[keydomhearts]

[ He has the worst luck. ]

Want to get out of here until someone cleans up? You can hang in my room.

[foundfate]

Clean-

[Oh.

That sure is blood on his bedspread, thanks to his messy feet. And on the floor. And on himself.]

...let me grab something to change into.

[keydomhearts]

I have some of Syaoran's stuff if you want to just change there...

[ A pause ]

It was just to keep it safe before the goats ate them or whatever it is they do.
