RECORDING 11: THE FOURTH MURDER.

[foundationmods]

A fourth week, and this is now definitely routine. Waking on friday, with the knowledge deep down that your number has yet again decreased.

You must still pull yourself from your bed, and discover who is now forever gone.

...But, wait.

What's that smell...?

((OOC: 2 people max under a heading, please! Just to keep things easy on the mods. You can switch out with someone else during an investigation if needed.))

Bedrooms + armory

[foundationmods]

[Be careful to not step in the evidence as you exit your rooms!]

[ghostricked]

[Considering he was sleeping on him, let's check if Battler's drunk ass died in the night. Is Riku-??!]

[golden_dream]

[Rosa turns out of her bed and looks around...

Shit, it's one of those days. At least she wasn't hung-over. Why not patrol a little bit?]

it begins

[sageking]

[ So after some misadventures in the lab, he'll stop here first. Can he detect any traces of magic here? ]

ice room

[foundationmods]

[finalring]

[ lets see who here ]

additional investigation

[sageking]

[ And of course, he'll also stop here. Any traces of magic present? ]

quick additional invest

[ghostricked]

[Just gonna check the corpse for gunshot residue scent on his hands/clothes real quick]

Lab/workroom

[foundationmods]

[sageking]

[ Well luckily somebody else was handling the mess re: bedrooms area so he didn't concern himself with that.

Gilgamesh will encroach upon this area because plot demanded it. Though, he'll stop shortly so he could look from the doorway to see what might be going on in here first before even thinking of stepping in. ]

Smoker's lounge

[foundationmods]

[cw_suicide]

[what's the damage here]

additional investigation

[sageking]

[ He'll come here as well. Any magic business going on in here...? ]

hallways

[foundationmods]

[soupervillain]

[ Doop de doo, getting out of his horrible lonely room as soon as possible in the morning (with very little hangover - success!). What's going on in the rest of the world? Specifically, the hallway-shaped rest of the world? ]

additional investigation

[sageking]

[ Technically he's in the hallways ALREADY so I assume magic ping answer is same as this thread? ]

BODY ANNOUNCEMENT

[lightreaching]

[ The echoing sound of cathedral bells can be heard throughout the house, and Flayn's voice follows, as if on a loudspeaker. Physically, she's in the living room. ]

Ango Sakaguchi has died. Noon tomorrow, there will be trial proceedings to determine who is responsible for his death. Participation is mandatory.

To those who are investigating, please continue your search for clues.

To all else, may you have a lovely Friday. I shall see you soon.

[oxidegreen]

[........Oh.

She didn't know Mr. Sakaguchi too well, but one of her roommates did, and she can't help but look a little worried.]

1/???

[onemolife]

[ The bells is what startles him out of bed and on the floor. His legs are wrapped up in his blankets and his heart is hammering hard in his chest.

He ponders just ignoring it and crawling back in bed when he hears that name. ]

[reanimania]

[ blearily sits up in bed and wipes drool off his face... ughghhhhh ]

[accessorytomurder]

N... no?

[It comes out as a stammered question, uncertain and tremulous.

The next moment she's on her feet and at the room's doorway, her heart going a mile a minute.]

No, no, n-no, that's—that—oh God. O-Osamu...!

[tangentlion]

[sitting in the living room with Flayn and cackling]

I'm super zetta stoked about this one.

[accrowed]

[ Damn. They never really spoke, but Ango usually made good points and knew how to keep a level head. He doesn't know what to say 'cause he didn't know the guy, but when the armory investigation is done he'll go and check the footage for clues anyway.

Which... experience tells him won't turn up anything because of the miasma, but it's better than sitting around. ]

1/2

[cw_suicide]

[so he was ready to be his usual flippant self when he got to the livingroom.

but then the name of the victim is announced and he just. freezes.

his brain just refusing to take in this information.

even while his heart screams with familiar agony of knowing.

and the tenuous grip he has on things just slips a bit further.]

Post-investigations... [sorry ghosts, WWX's booty call game too strong]

[cw_suicide]

[he still hasn't seen the body. and that's definitely not... great.

but Dazai makes his way back to the livingroom where people are probably most congregated because he does have one thing on his mind. his eyes are a bit dimmer than usual, not distant but a coldness to them that have cropped up now and again previously near constant now.

thanks to WWX, once again, ghosts will probably be distracted by some charms or another.]

If anyone has had contact with Sakaguchi Ango or has been doing things within the house that can be discovered by his ability, you have until Monday before the entity inside this house knows what you're hiding and what you're up to.

To explain: Ango was not simply a worker for the government in our world. He was a well-versed spy and has even worked to levels of triple-agent in espionage and information gathering. And his ability sees more than what he has let on--though even I don't really know the full extent of it. I wouldn't even be surprised if he was sent on this mission by the Foundation with spying in mind, either.

And before anyone asks: no. Ango has told me nothing about what he was doing himself. Save that he may have found something out about this house that would be important, later. Unfortunately, we now have until Monday to figure out what that was.

There's the pattern of a murder on Friday, trial on Saturday, and then the ghost of the victim and the executed appearing on Monday--usually with the victim being the chosen Vessel for the week. Assuming this pattern stands, Ango will not simply become a ghost but will become the next chosen Vessel. Anything he knows, the entity will know.

The ghosts of the house already know this, so they're eager to welcome him to the fold.

Whoever chose Ango as their target... has given us a deadline.

[GOOD FUCKING JOB, ASSHOLE, he does not say but only because he's tired ok.]

[finalring]

[ romani has looked like he was about to faint since he stepped out of the ice room, but now he just slides against the living room wall all the way down to the floor.

it's one thing to know this, and it's another to have it confirmed by the person that knew ango the best. ]
