WEEK 5 INVESTIGATION....?

[foundationmods]

INVESTIGATION...?

Normally, you're all woken on friday morning, bright and early to see which one of you have died.

Not so much this morning, as the sound of A massive explosion from the third floor jolts all of you awake at around 2am.

What....just happened?

??? GUESTS REMAIN.

MAJOR GORE WARNING FOR THIS LOG.

BODY ANNOUNCEMENT

[foundationmods]

[As always, the speakers crackle to life with the voice of The Lady.]

Rean Schwarzer is dead. He was the Jorogumo, a mafia role that could block others.

Minato Arisato is dead. He was The Tripwire, a third party role that had the ability to blow up upon death.

As the killer was also killed, there will be-

[There's a pause.]

Will - will be - b-b-b-be-

[She sounds like she's uncertain, but then, after a moment, her voice evens out.]

- Will be a Trial to catch the killer. Have a good day, Guests.

[The speakers go silent.]

[theycallhimmrpchan]

What the hell?!

[He stomps his feet, this is even more bullshit than usual! He starts yelling at a speaker despite knowing he probably won't be heard]

Explain yourself!

[duskhound]

...It looks like the explosion might have been too much for it to handle.

[foundationnpcs]

[And then, probably a minute or so after that announcement:]

Holy shit

[Yeah he. Can't even sass right now.]

[purrtagonist]

[Akira remains in his position outside the chapel on the third floor, slumped against the wall, all throughout the announcement. when it ends, he doesn't move for a good minute or so afterwards]

[and then, with a deep breath, he forces himself to his feet and immediately bolts to his room]

[xenoqueen]

How the hell are we expected to have a goddamn trial if the killer was already fucking caught?!

[She's fucking furious, thanks. Ripley slams her fist against the wall, teeth bared.]

You fucking bastards!

[theycallhimmrpchan]

And of course they're not going to answer the question!

[He's pacing, dragging a foot across the ground, boar-like]

[duskhound]

...It looked like they were going to say "there will be no trial", but something... Interrupted it?

a bit later

[resortghosts]

It's getting worse. The Resort's illness.

- SG

[13thpromise]

[ ...

Roxas wasn't there to investigate, but hearing that is such a shock that he doesn't even know what to feel. And then the trial portion of that too...? ]

It's not fair...

[ His words come out softly for now, because all of this is a lot at once, but his hands do clench tightly into fists, fingers digging into his palms. ]

[enter_the_darkness]

[ Well, the stuttering might be something he's able to focus on a little better... If not for how there's a jolt as soon as he hears the second name. The Tripwire. The role that Akira passed off to Minato in an attempt to help him live longer.

... Talk about a bitter irony, comes a dim thought that has his nails biting into his palms.

Ah...

Vanitas. Hadn't even noticed that his hands were curled into fists.

For a long while, he stares down at the floor, expression already shifted into something blank. He'd seen this kind of thing (not an outright explosion - just the death itself) coming for Minato, if he's being perfectly honest. The guy was too gentle. Too caring. Hell, no matter how much Vanitas had tried to scare him off, to act indifferent...

Now... he's dead. Minato had decided they were friends long before Vanitas had even entertained the possibility, and now he's dead. Rean killed Minato and Rean is dead. Tomorrow, at least one more will be dead... If they were to go for the mafia, Cinque could be dead, next...



And all Vanitas can do is laugh as his face lowers into the palm of one hand. ]

[whirlingmace]

[ Hello darkness my new friend...

Cinque will be coming down the stairs looking like she's been crying and trying not to tremble when she spots the hair. She approaches him, hand reaching out to touch him. ]

Hey...Eddie...

[ She sees the way he's holding himself, sees his face in his palm as he laughs... but it's not a good laugh.

Her hand brushes his arm lightly. ]

[enter_the_darkness]

[ For once, he jerks away, though... Maybe it'll be clear he wasn't initially registering that it's even Cinque. In fact, there's a... kind of wild look in his eyes, for a moment, up until he's seeing exactly who's approached.

His jawline tightens as his gaze rests on her. His breathing isn't quite steady... He tries to force it back to normal. ]

I'm fine.

[ ... ]

Where is he?

[whirlingmace]

[ She frowns at that, and doesn't try to touch him again. She isn't sure if it's what she is or not...

Then his question has her first starting to turn towards to stairs to show, but she stops. ]

Mimi and Jojo aren't there any more...

[ It's just limbs left. But they aren't really there. ]

[enter_the_darkness]

[ He shakes his head. ]

Of course they aren't - they're dead...

[ There's something rattled out of place if his voice is anything to go by. He's already starting in the direction she'd started in ]

I still wanna see. Where did it happen?

[whirlingmace]

[ She'll fall in step with him and put her hand on his arm. ]

I'll take you up there...

[enter_the_darkness]

[ He won't stop her from doing that! He just also won't so much as slow his steps... ]

[whirlingmace]

[ That's fine. She'll keep up cause she knows it's not very good. They both will probably smell it before they get to the chapel upstairs. And then they can see the legs. Cinque is quiet for once. ]

[enter_the_darkness]

[ His breathing is just sliiiiightly off as they get up there. Maybe it's the smell making it a little more difficult.

Yeah. That's all it is. That's all it could be, right?

There's little pause in his steps; he doesn't even falter as he makes his way over, getting as close as he possibly could without messing up any... evidence.

Vanitas is just going to stare for a moment, eyes shifting over to the pair that must belong to Minato. There's an emptiness in his expression... The kind of emptiness that comes from so many years of practicing the sacred art of shoving emotions down. ]

[whirlingmace]

[ It's quiet for a little too long and there's something about his actions and the way that he's not really showing anything that hurts. He shouldn't have ever learned to be like that...

She reaches over to gingerly touch his back. ]

Hey...
