MOCK ROUND - WEEK 1 INVESTIGATION

[foundationmods]

It had almost been a week since everyone had been brought here.
The days had gone by with no hint of trouble, not from the Witch, or any of her servants. It almost seemed like nothing would happen after all.

Yet, as everyone woke up...something felt different.
It felt...like they were about to take a step into the darkness.🗈

Like they were going to see something that shouldn't be seen....or feel something that shouldn't be felt.

This....was a fake game, right...? Then why....was there this ominous feeling? Like something nearby was just...waiting for them to stumble the right way, bringing them closer to it's hungry mouth...

...

No matter what it is, though, they had to step forward.

They had....to finally, truly start this game.

((OOC: Characters will need to bold locations to look for clues...or the body!))

[...I. WELL. OKAY.

There are some awful noises being made, and stake-chan can definitely help. After some, uh, rummaging....he finds the bullet, crumpled up from going through a goddamn skull and brain matter.]

[overlordad]

[Assumedly it matches the bullets in his gun? You can never be too safe]

[foundationmods]

[Sure does! It's easy to see why it didn't go all the way through - this is a standard handgun, which means even from point-blank range, it didn't have a lot of power after punching through the skull.]

[overlordad]

Why the hell didn't you use one of the shotguns Culprit?

[Speaking of, does this gun match any if the ones he saw in the Master Bedroom when he was sniffing around earlier in the week?]

[foundationmods]

[It does not.

That being said, the Goats did say Anyone could ask for anything from them...]

[overlordad]

[time to search the rest of the room for holes then]

[foundationmods]

[Still no holes in the room!]

[overlordad]

Interesting...

[anything else of note in the room?]

[foundationmods]

[There is some blood, starting in the center of the room and moving towards the door, and then a large puddle near where the door was.

Looks like Riku really did die slumped against the door.}

[overlordad]

[sad. Let's check over the body again- you never leave a deal without a double check.

He specifically checks Riku's fingers to see if he wrote the message]

[foundationmods]

[There is, indeed, blood on the hand that's pierced through - and blood on the fingers there.

It would have taken a lot of effort, but his index finger might have been undamaged enough...]

[overlordad]

[... Takashi moves to where Bruno put the door and sits down about where he guesses Riku was and sees if it would feel natural to write like that]

[foundationmods]

[Nope!

He can't even reach where the words are, and it really hurts the shoulders.]

[curryparty]

[SINCE TAKASHI'S MOVING AWAY FROM IT Asuma will go ahead and timidly approach the body. He doesn't really know much about wounds, but the stomach is pretty... ugh.

It's a fairly vulnerable place, he knows that much.]

What happened here...?

[His whole body is tense, and one hand hovers near his mouth.]

[foundationmods]

[The wounds still look...weird. it's hard to tell what they were done by, really - unless Asuma wants to look closer?]

[curryparty]

[He really doesn't want to, actually. Really, he doesn't even know what to look for.

Quite pale by now, he glances around the room. Takashi's still investigating, so...]

Hey, Vanitas?

[His voice is much weaker, but then again, he's trying awful hard not to be sick right now.]

Do you think you could take a look...?

[enter_the_darkness]

[ He's staring at the door frame a moment, and then glancing over his shoulder in the direction of the door. ]

...?

[ There's a blink when he's called over there, but then he just kind of shrugs. ]

Sure, I guess.

[ Well, guess he's crouching down by a body now??? ]

At which part, exactly?

[beastlybruno]

[Bruno returns with Jack in tow to put the knife from Jack's room next to the door...

Takashi is standing next to Asuma and Vantias, who are hunched over the body and...]

Sweet mother of Fyora... Takashi, what did you do?!

[overlordad]

It would be hard to not write backwards sitting like this too. Is this from you, Culprit?

[he's gonna watch the boys work, pondering]

not here for investigation stuff, just........

[enter_the_darkness]

[ Well, that's a great thing to come to a doorway and see.

Sheesh. ]

[curryparty]

[JUST GONNA

CLOSE HIS EYES AND COVER HIS EARS, YIKES YIKES YIKES.]

[artificialhighness]

[At some point here Luna passes by the window.








She keeps walking.]

[enter_the_darkness]

[ . . . Just sighing and then asking what he hopes is loud enough over the ears being covered and the, uh... everything that is those sounds. ]

Sure you wanna stick around?

[ Ugh, even he doesn't look like he's having the best time with all of that. ]

[curryparty]

[CONTINUING TO COVER HIS EARS but he does nod.]

[enter_the_darkness]

[ He's lifting both eyebrows at the kid, but he won't push, nor does he have the desire to, if judging by the look on his face.

Instead, he's just quietly leaning against the outer part of the door frame. ]
