RECORDING 2: THE FIRST MURDER

[foundationmods]

An entire week has passed, and nothing has happened. For a brief glimmer of time, it seemed like they wouldn't succumb. That they would be able to face down the Vessel, the Curse, and come out stronger on the other side.

....But when they wake up today, it's easy to feel the wrongness in the air. The sense of satisfaction from something lurking deep inside, pleased that it was fed...and pleased that finally, the killing had started.

As you all rise and look towards a new day, the faint traces of Miasma lap at your heels...

...And around whatever corpse now lingers in the hallways...

((OOC: 2 people max under a heading, please! Just to keep things easy on the mods.))

BALLROOM

[foundationmods]

[oxidegreen]

[Time to go see if Mr. Minamimoto's art piece is holding up.]

later

[ghostricked]

[Thanks to Carona's warning, Sissel knows what he's looking for when he arrives in the ballroom. Time to look into the Ghost World and find that weird mark!

Once he does he will notice it looks a LOT like the design Sho drew on his bandanna. So after wiggling out of it he will do his best to spread it out and compare the two designs to make SURE it was Sho's art]

STAFF BEDROOM

[foundationmods]

[zweivoltage]

[It wouldn't hurt to go through the room to see if Sho's art raid inadvertedly reveal something...]

HALLWAY

[foundationmods]

[More specifically, The hallway from the Staff Room to the Tool Shed.]

[cw_suicide]

[worst timing for a hangover.

but he's keeping a wary eye on his surroundings, hand not in a sling tracing across the wall.]

TOOL ROOM

[foundationmods]

[accessorytomurder]

[Come to think of it, she never got around to inventorying this, did she?

...what an oversight.]

even more later

[ghostricked]

[And now for the moment of truth. Time to see the body. Even though she was a machine the scene is pretty gruesome, and Sissle wrinkles his nose at the oil smell.]

Poor kid...

[Time to look for her soul core!]

BODY ANNOUCEMENT

[foundationmods]

[Shortly after Yachi and Saphir's unfortunate adventure, Todd will appear in the living room. He is still missing his arm and appears to be very grouchy, but he does speak to everyone present.]

Hey, so. A murder happened. Olympia is dead.

There's already people investigating, so the rest of you stay here until they're done.

Trial's tomorrow at noon, be there.

Everyone must show up and vote tomorrow, or they die.

That's all.

[And then he disappears, leaving everyone free to talk amongst themselves.]

[tsunderine]

[well then]

[kind of glad she doesn't have to investigate because uh]

[Tohsaka would be bad with robots, don't let her touch technology. but 'show up and vote or death', huh...

well.

she'll just have to ask that question tomorrow]

[finalring]

Olympia....

[ romani sighs, gritting his teeth. the fact that someone actually went and did this...

well, there’s no changing it now. but he wishes it hadn’t had to happen. ]

[tangentlion]

[Sho is... not there, actually. He's conked out in his bed. HIS BATTLER BATTLE WORE HIM OUT OK :C]

[onemolife]

[ Ah.



That's a shame. ]

[zweivoltage]

[Once he realizes he'd be in the way, he moves from the tool shed, and can be seen pacing, his eyes scanning, clearly on high alert]

[golden_dream]

[So it finally happened... Rosa doesn't like the idea of not being able to leave, but she's not about to test what violating the rules will bring.

So she'll just pace around the room like a caged animal for a while, wary and on-edge.]

[deadanimemom]

[Yuri's going to bring Yachi down the hall with her, and towards the living room.]

Look at me.

[hitscans]

--Damnit.

[accessorytomurder]

[Yuri leads in a pale and shivering Hitoka, who all but collapses onto the couch and sits there.

She opens her notebook and grips a pen and just—just...

Stares at it.

There's fresh oil on her shoes.

...the tears spill over again, and she presses a hand hard against her mouth.]

[eyeforai]

[um hello??? he's the police, you don't tell him not to investigate--

which i guess he'll do by ineffectually checking out the camera feeds. productivity?? (no)]

[accrowed]

[ Ah hell. As far as morning announcements go (or "morning" because what is time), this one is pretty dreary. He'll refrain from commenting right now, but he does glance around to try and get a read of everyone's emotional state.

Not that he needs to do that to guess that "feels bad bro" is topping the emotional chart. ]

[baitless]

[...they really had to start it, huh. well... he'll hang back, looking very tense. How inevitable was this, really?

...how inevitable is anything else?]

PSA

[oxidegreen]

[Sometime after the ballroom investigation, Marona's going to go find everyone to let them know.]

There's some kind of sigil the middle of the floor in the ballroom. Getting close to it causes negative emotions. I recommend avoiding the ballroom for now unless you need to look in there for some reason, since it seems like only people with spiritual power can see it.

[noneforall]

You know, I'm really starting to get used to being threatened with death at this point.

[Lazily. He looks like he just took a shower?? Stop using up all the water, Subete.

Unspoken, but it's kind of typical that someone would go for the robot, right? Go figure. He'll just hang out here and peoplewatch until further notice.]
