week 11

[vicedirector]

seven vices week 11 ♫ monday - friday 8 players remaining Upon waking on Monday morning, you experience a short but awful bout of nausea. It's not dissimilar to the same fate one suffers when trying to remove their talisman, but an inspection will reveal that they're still on your person, safe and sound. Accompanying this will be disturbing visions--one look, and suddenly the space around you is nothing but destruction and carnage. Destroyed buildings, the heavy scent of smoke, and scattered bloodstains--even a few screams. But with a blink, the vision fades, and everything is as it should be. The possessions of last week's deceased have vanished, save for Stormfly and the Annoying Dog (the zoo grows stronger!). Anyone investigating will notice that to the far east of the schoolhouse, a library has appeared. Additionally, every locked door in the town will have unlocked at the start of this week. >Investigate? cast setting

Police station cabinets

[ Dhaos decides to look around here, first. What does he find? ]

[vicedirector]

[ In the first drawer, there's a bunch of profiles in folders. Looking closely, they appear to be arrest records.

In the second drawer is...more folders, but crime reports and newspaper clippings instead.

Which are we going for? ]

[dhaosu]

[ Well. He decides to look closely at the profiles first? Is there anything note-worthy about these arrest records? ]

[vicedirector]

[ There sure are. Three at the very top of the pile will stand out--although their mugshots are in black and white, their faces are still familiar.

These are the three people who unwillingly participated in corpse scavenger hunt.

Andres Aarma, Joseph Hopper, and Gerlinde Kreek were all arrested within the span of two weeks in January of 1994, during a raid by the Lettland military.

They're charged with a few different crimes: resisting arrest, illegal use of government property, assault and battery, assorted war crimes, and crimes against humanity.

Their final sentences are unsure, with "awaiting proper trial" merely scribbled in its place. ]

[dhaosu]

[ Well, that is certainly a long list of things they have done for sure. He recalls Katerina being upset in particular over them. He notes this, and then he decides to look into the other drawer more closely.

Particularly what the other crime reports and those newspaper clippings may have of interest. ]

[vicedirector]

[ There's also a lot of these!

Along with standard assault and battery, theft, public drunkenness, and the like, among them is a startlingly high number of reports filed for trespassing on foreign territory.

Most of the clippings contain context for their respective crime reports: someone got drunk at a birthday party, theft from a local bank account, etc. One attached to trespassing is more detailed, however: ]

Local Teacher POW

Rising tensions with Lorelea escalated even further this week, as local schoolteacher Edita Sabone was captured as a prisoner of war. During a routine border sweep by the Lettland ground corps, Sabone was witnessed attempting to defend a small family looking to seek asylum within Lebensbaum. With the border even more heavily guarded, they were caught and brought back to Uscington. Sabone resisted, but was captured and imprisoned within Uscington's detainment camp.

Sabone was well-known for her recent succession of previous schoolteacher Peter Helmanis. Frequently looked up to for her kindness and integrity, she dedicated a large majority of her free time to assisting with the relief efforts despite her rapidly expanding classroom. Our hearts are with the Sabonis family during this trying time.

Lorelean officials have not responded in regards to Sabone's fate.

[dhaosu]

Hmm...

[ Well, Dhaos knows a certain friend of his will be displeased to hear this. He's pretty sure this is how she was killed. Probably.

Besides that, he's definitely taking note of those reports--specifically the ones about trespassing.

He makes sure to reread everything and re-examine the clippings to see if anything else stuck out, or if they were other noteworthy events/information. ]

[vicedirector]

[ There is one more thing. In the very bottom drawer of the cabinet, Dhaos will find military draft records, for men and women alike. An absolute metric ton of them, and every single one of them are for Lettland citizens. ]

[dhaosu]

[ Dhaos decides he should go through every single record to be thorough and see if there any familiar faces upon those records. As well as if there were any thing noted in particular upon them. ]

[vicedirector]

[ Indeed. He'll spy Jansonis, Karvelis, and Sabonis among the names, though not paired with any familiar faces. ]

[dhaosu]

[ Among these records, is there an identifiable date of some sort upon them?

If not, would there be anything else of note or no? ]

[vicedirector]

[ They all seem to be in the range of October 1993 to very early January 1994.

They stop at the second week of January. ]
