week 1 - investigation

[vicedirector]

seven vices case 1 - investigation ♫ friday On Friday morning, time shifts. It's a strange, twisting feeling reverberating throughout all in the town, even able to be felt by those still asleep, warping their dreams. Everyone's sense of time is back to normal, and the large grandfather clock in the lobby is gone. Which, here, can only mean the mastermind had a change of heart--or someone is dead. >Investigate? cast setting

morning - lobby

[herbgrace]

[Lithuania bursts through the doors with a loud bang. She ran here, and she's still in a hurry.] I've found a body. Kazunari Takao. He's behind the hotel, I can lead anyone who wants to check there.

[dhaosu]

... Then do so.

[ He very much wants to see that body now, yep. ]

[herbgrace]

[Lithuania nods. Off to the body thread!.]

[brawlhalla]

[ Astrid will just immediately head over to Lithuania's side. SHE WANTS TO CHECK??? ]

He's the one who talked about "phones", right?

[ he clearly did not make much of an impact on her, though she's frowning all the same. ]

[herbgrace]

Ah--maybe...? [Lithuania feels bad; she didn't really speak to him either. Still, she's clearly not happy all the same.]

[brawlhalla]

...Either way, I'll take a look.

[ IF IT HAS TO DO WITH BLUNT FORCE TRAUMA SHE MIGHT BE OF HELP????

skills........ ]

[keepshispride]

[Vegeta happens to be stood there when Lithuana enters and he glances up at her in surprise once he recognises the name. That boy...]

... Tch. That idiot.

[herbgrace]

Did he do something in particular? [It's hard to tell when it's Vegeta saying something like that.]

[muties]

Oh, goddamn it.

[ Someone just had to get killed, didn't they.

She will follow Lithuania as well. ]

[herbgrace]

[Everybody can have a corpse party.]

[minogame]

Takao-kun?! ( Who will teach Urashima how to play basketball now. ) How?

[herbgrace]

It looks like a broken neck. [Also the head injury.] I haven't examined closely yet, though.

[dereban]

[ ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING RIGHT NOW ]

I'll go back with you. [ Almost in an eerily calm voice, but okay, sure. ] I want to start investigating the area as soon as we can.

[herbgrace]

Alright. [You seem calm enough, so join in the fun.]

[jackhole]

[ just sort of stands there, holding a cup of coffee and hair all a mess. ]

Uh, who?

[ wait no, let him check his echo eye. the blue eye lights up and a small screen is projected from it with all the profiles. he flicks through it really quickly and ah. there he is! ]

Oh, just some kid. [ . . . ] Ohhhh, wait. That's sad.

[herbgrace]

[Rhys...] Of course it's sad.

[clearasmud]

[ The plan had been to stay in her room, once Youko had awoken and realized time had returned to normal.

...She quickly realized she was pretty hungry though, so that didn't last long. Too bad she's passing through the lobby when Lithuania makes her announcement and Rhys says his. Thing. ]

...Have some damn tact.

[detanimetion]

[Oh, it's one of the humans Undyne actually recognizes. She scowls and crosses her arms.]

Dammit! So there really are people here evil enough to kill for something this stupid...

[brawlhalla]

Apparently. I'll admit that the time whatever was a headache, but it wasn't worth murdering someone for. I was just thinking of it as training.

[ ???????? FOR WHAT, ASTRID? ]

[herbgrace]

I suppose so. [And they killed a child, too...] I wonder what their exact reasoning was.

[clearasmud]

They might not have thought it was so stupid.

We need to find out what happened and who did this, correct? So... don't underestimate the power this might have had over others.

[ ...She sounds a little preachy, doesn't she? Ew. ]

...I've seen people kill over less, anyway.

[ ........that's kind of a mixed message, youko. ]

[sobowtor]

[Oh.

So. They're actually doing this murder thing.

Huh.]

...which one was that?

[herbgrace]

The one who plays basketball. [Lithuania at least knows what's on the profile cards.]

[okuri]

[ There are times when he wishes he misheard. But the girl was shouting, and his hearing wasn't that bad yet.]

...you're sure?

[herbgrace]

I'm absolutely certain. His neck is broken, and I checked his pulse even so.
