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!))

[She's finally arrived (through the opening where the door used to be, rather than the window, like a civilized person), dragging her sword with her to have a look at the scene of the crime. She stops briefly by where Riku's corpse is situated, a little at a remove so as not to disturb those currently going over it.]

... It's too bad. I expected you to do better, but I suppose you weren't interested in playing, anyway.

[Next is Takashi, and she wrinkles her nose once she gets a look at him.]

You made a mess.

[overlordad]

Think it'd be suspect if I showered before this 'trial'?

[artificialhighness]

I think you would be suspect regardless.

[Them's just the facts, shady shark salesdude.]

But somehow, I think you would be suspected faster on account of the smell.

[Please shower.]

[He gives a bark of laughter, wiping his gorey hands on his suit jacket]

Blunt as always. I like that.

[artificialhighness]

[Her frown gets more pronounced, but he's basically just rolling around in the mess. She doesn't bother commenting at this point.]

I don't see a point in talking around it. It is what we are here for.

[overlordad]

I know, I know. I'll go shower-

-and don't think for a moment I did this: I wouldn't do such a shitty job of it.

[artificialhighness]

That would have to wait until we've reviewed the evidence, wouldn't it?

[There's no real hostile intent there.

It's another bald statement of fact, especially since Takashi's managed to become one with the evidence rather quickly.]
