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 - chapel to start, but likely moving around

[herbgrace]

[When Lithuania wakes up, she can think straight again. Which is great! ...Except for what it implies. But she's not about to stand around wondering when she can start looking around, so she decides to head for the less-frequented areas first, starting with the chapel. Anything of note in here?]

morning, lobby

[muties]

[ Roxy's still in her pillow fort, but was awake for at least a bit before she feels time resume. Did they do it? Did they manage to show the asshole in charge that they wouldn't murder anyone?

Oooor did someone get offed. Fuck, let's hope not. But she should probably get up and find out.

Untangling herself from her fort, she rushes into the second floor hall and just about throws herself down the stairs into the lobby. ]

Everyone still alive?

Morning, Clinic

[sisumama]

[Well, if time is returning to normal...

Maybe Sisuca should head to the Clinic just in case. It's been taking her ages to get to and from there all week!]

bonfire

[brawlhalla]

[ Thank fuck time is working properly again. Since looking around seems to be a thing they are doing, Astrid heads outside so she can head over to the bonfire. She wants fresh air while she can think straight, after all. Any luck? ]

[vicedirector]

[ Everything is in place and in order. ]

morning, pool

[earie]

[ Once things are back to normal... Sadie wants to get the hell out of dodge for whatever this means. So she's going to hang around the pool, because what murderer/victim is going to be at the pool at this time of day? ]

[hopefragment]

[Hey mom, Hinata's following after you. Not actually out of concern, but because if there's anything that could be used for a murder, it's probably in there.]

See anything?

[vicedirector]

[ There isn't anything immediately suspicious

...in the waiting room. Where are we looking? ]

morning, kitchen

[lastgirl]

[Finally free of the time shifts, Buddy is going to get some goddamn coffee to shake the exhaustion she's been feeling. For that reason she heads to the kitchen to make some. She'll even make extra for anyone who wants some.]

[vicedirector]

[ THE POOL IS CLEAR, YOU LUCKY DUCK, HAVE FUN ]

[brawlhalla]

Whoa, don't break your neck.

[ You threw yourself into Astrid, a little, and the viking reaches out automatically to steady Roxy. ]

[symbologic]

[Faize is already in the lobby when Roxy arrives, staring at the place where the clock USED to be.]

I certainly hope so, however...

[HOWEVER THE CLOCK IS GONE? And there was no announcement or anything telling them to meet up somewhere...]

This doesn't exactly bode well.

[jackhole]

[ have a rhys, trailing down from the third floor and trying to fix his bedhead in the process. ]

Me. I'm still alive. Kiiiind of surprised about that, but...

[ just a shrug then and he follows it up with a yawn. ]

[sisumama]

[She'll do a quick walk-through of the examination rooms, too, of course! Just to make sure before she goes about her daily task of investigating the clinic.]

[vicedirector]

[ NO BODIES, THANKFULLY

However, there is a something dark at the edge of the pit. ]

[stupidly]

[HA HA oh Roxy... Gilbert's still pretty disoriented from that sudden jump in time, either way, so he more or less just stumbles out into the lobby confusedly.]

Uh— I haven't noticed anyone missing yet, at least...?

[brawlhalla]

[ Well, okay, let's check out the something dark. Astrid has zero qualms about examining strange objects. WHAT IS IT. ]

[sisumama]

Oh, good morning Hinata! What a pleasant surprise.

[Despite the obvious reasons for coming to the clinic, Sisuca is going to put on her smiling, brave face for the boy.]

Are you going to keep Mama company?

[herbgrace]

[Alright, then time to head back to the hotel. Not inside, though--instead she's going to walk around the perimeter of the building, looking for any signs of anything out of place, be it near the ground or on the building itself.]

[muties]

Sorry. Just a bit urgent, I guess?

[ But hey, we can put at least a few people in the Alive column so far. ]

[dereban]

I'm not dead, it seems. [ Just going to state that with a shrug. She's glad she's not dead, but maybe somebody else is???

Because ha ha ha they probably can't have nice things. ]

[vicedirector]

[ It looks like a heavily-burnt scrap of fabric. ]

[muties]

No, it doesn't.

And man, that was a neat clock, too...

[vicedirector]

[ As she heads around to the back of the building, Lithuania will see a figure on the ground. ]

[hopefragment]

...

[You know what, yeah. She's not the only one who can put on a brave face for someone else's benefit.]

Yeah, that's it. Besides, it's kind of creepy to be here by yourself.
