Week 6, Friday

[foundationmods]

[As the morning rises on Friday, the house seems...quiet. Not quite eerie in the way that a murder might indicate, but there is a tension in the air. Something has happened overnight, but it's hard to tell exactly what.

To find out what is going on, the contestants will have to explore the area.]

Comments

GROUP 1

[foundationmods]

[So the first group to investigate is going to notice something is off immediately. Even before going anywhere, they will notice the smell of blood lingering in the first floor area of the house.]

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[Oh, that's bad. Saki's got her hair tied back with her barrette, and she's hurrying to see if she can find the source of that smell.]

GROUP 2

[foundationmods]

[With the news of a dead Dazai in the living room and only some of the clues there, the obvious solution is to investigate further out. Group 2 will be the first ones to get outside, heading out the front door to look from there.

As they near the studio, they will hear the sounds of sniffling coming from the side of the studio building.]

[ uh oh ]

Is that...crying?

GROUP 3

[foundationmods]

[It's time to investigate the final place connected to all of this: Dazai's office. Unlike the other two spots, there are no surprise bodies or people waiting for them. It's just straight up clue-finding, thankfully with no booby-traps.

It's time to begin the search.]

REGROUPING

[foundationmods]

(for contestants to regroup in-between investigations as need be.)

First Invest Findings.

[darkremnants]

[ He's going to leave to wash his hands up, grab some coffee, and then is back there to wave Ellie, Inaba, Saki, and anyone else back into the blood covered room since no cams or mics ]

It looks like it happened recently. Maybe a hour or so ago. He got into an altercation of some kind. There's a bullet wound in his leg, and three to his chest. It looks like he punched someone and there's blood under his nails. I found bullets in his pocket with paper and pens.

Second investigation findings

[prayerwheel]

Look who we found.

[ presenting one (1) scratched up and red-eyed Mr. Windy Thing

Azura pats his arm and TO SAVE MAPLE FROM HAVING TO REITERATE ALL OF THIS she will explain because Doezai is clearly overwhelmed right now okay ]

He's been in near the studio for about an hour now. The long and short of it is he didn't kill Dazai, the real one.

Da....er, what shall I call you? John Doe? Father has been calling you John, so for the sake of making this conversation less confusing, I'll use that, if that's alright. [ :V ]

He was coming to the house to tell us that there were no deaths last night, to arrange Friday events and such, but Dazai was already there, and immediately attacked him. He shot at John, but John used his power to deflect several bullets. Dazai must have been frustrated that his shots weren't hitting, so he charged, and they fought hand-to-hand for a short bit. [ indicating the scratch on Doezai's cheek ] He said it was difficult to fight back because of the close-quarter nature of the fight, and that Dazai nullified his powers, but he managed to retrieve his gun, shoot Dazai in the leg, and flee, hoping that one of us would hear the gunshots and come running.

Er, needless to say, we must all have been quite preoccupied. [ looking guilty ]

John says Dazai was still alive when he left. Shot, but alive. The motive was still active, so whoever came to finish him off may have been looking to kill John for said motive.

John also doesn't know anything about the moose. He says he didn't leave his office, last night. The man we saw being cornered was likely the real Dazai. I assume he hid somewhere until morning, and then made his move.

[ looking up at crimepa and karen ]

Karen? Father? What did you find?

3rd Invest Findings!!

[houndumb]

[Nora slams down two pieces of paper (actually it's more than two pieces of paper) and then a deck of cards with a note on it onto... I don't know, I assume there are tables in the living room. Everything is somehow crumpled to hell after less than an hour in his pocketses, how.]

Damn Dazai goin' around leaving all his stupid paperwork out again, why do I gotta play mailman here... Oi!! There's this stupid letter about the motive, so I guess SOMEBODY'S dyin' or trying to die at noon. Whatever. There's also this bullshit--

[Annnnd here he just yeets this letter at Inaba in a crumpled up ball. Then he yeets a couple more crumpled up half-letters at her, if opened they are partial letters that mention the basement tunnel escape route.]

--about escape routes like I told Azura an' Silver before and a password or something. This is the last goddamn time I give you your mail, I swear... And then there's this useless thing we already knew about.

[SLAPS DOWN THE DECK OF CARDS LIKE IN YGO except I'm not playing one this round, too bad.]

MISC searches

[foundationmods]

For if y'all think of anything you want to look at that wasn't covered yet. Fair warning, searches here might not yield any useful results.

Spare Bullet Check

[duskhound]

[Let's get some more details on these spare bullets. Do they match either of the two guns we've picked up during this investigation?]
