week 3 - investigation

[vicedirector]

seven vices case 3 - investigation ♫ friday On Friday morning, everyone will wake up with all of their (warranted or unwarranted, jesus how many of y'all had shitty lives before murdertown) grief fulfilled. Whatever it is they've lost--they've found it again. Anyone heading out into the lobby will notice that the statue is gone. And that can only mean one thing. >Investigate? cast setting

school

[symbologic]

[Waking up and feeling less moody can really only mean one thing. That it's time to feel like shit again because SOMEBODY HAD TO GO AND GET THEIR MURDER ON. AGAIN. Dammit, guys.]

[Faize dresses quickly and heads somewhat quickly towards the school. If anybody wants to go with him, they're more than welcome so long as they can keep up. Because he sure isn't stopping to chat till he reaches the schoolyard. So how about it? Anything immediately noticeable? Dead bodies in the yard, weird tracks in the snow, blood splatter, dismembered body parts, WEIRD SASS CHILDREN RUNNING AROUND, etc.?]

[hopefragment]

[Things Hinata never thought he'd ever experience; feeling better because there's a body to find. He's skipping the kitchen this time to head straight for the school. Looks like he's not the only one with that idea, though, since he falls into step with Faize pretty quickly.]

Hey... morning.

[Not even going to try to pretend there's something good about it. Keeping a close eye on the ground before looking to the school itself. Anything strange hanging on/around it?]

chapel

[dhaosu]

[ ...This is not good. Well, in that case, the disappearance of a certain 'feeling' warrants investigation. Going to be going outside and towards the chapel? ]

Re: chapel

[vicedirector]

[ The chapel is clean once again. Congrats. ]

morning - clinic, but likely moving around

[herbgrace]

[Feeling less like all of her insides have been scooped up can only mean it's time to search for another dead body. Or maybe no one killed and their kidnapper gave up!

Nope, time to look for a dead body. Lithuania checks the clinic first--both rooms, of course.]

[vicedirector]

[ Nothing eye-catching, but after walking into the offices, Lithuania will hear herself stepping on something. Crunchy-like. ]

the store

[lastgirl]

[It's time to wake up, and after last week Buddy doesn't really want to trust any coffee that isn't pre-packaged and canned. So time to go to the general store]

[vicedirector]

[ Enjoy your coffee in peace, Buddy. Store's also clean. ]

appears again!!

[crazily]

[ Break will be tagging along with Buddy! He may or may not need to stock up on sweets at the store anyways... How many does he go through in a week? Too many, honestly. Still, Buddy is likely to notice that she now has someone matching her sense of style, since Break's left eye is bandaged up.

Also there are still remnants of blue and green glitter on him. He'll be stuck with that forever. ]

I hope you don't mind me tagging along~.

pool

[earie]

[ Oh good she feels normal again, which means she feels nothing. Praise whoever died for that. But she still wants to avoid being around dead bodies, so she's heading to the pool to wait this whole thing out. Again. ]

[disapproved]

Here for a swim?

[ here's morrigan, who is also feeling a lot better after sadweek. notably, all her body aches are gone. she'd like a breather too and how better to spend downtime than bothering someone? ]

'Twould hide the week's tears well, surely.

kitchen

[detanimetion]

[Turns out eating nothing but candy all day is not great for the stomach! The second Undyne wakes up back to her normal energetic self, she heads down to the kitchen to set it on fire make some actual food.]

[vicedirector]

[ No bodies, luckily and no sashimi, but there is something off about the knife rack. ]

DIEDAY, DIEDAY, GOTTA GET DOWN ON DIEDAY

[vicedirector]

[ After the schoolhouse party does what it does best, all televisions in the hotel will turn on to static, waking up anyone still asleep. The calm, apathetic voice begins speaking: ]

A crime has been committed. Two people are now dead. Please rise, and investigate.

[ There's a pause. ]

Additionally, the rulebook will be updated with precautions against self-violence. Any player currently holding Key Player status or retired player status will not be permitted to engage in violence against themselves for any reason.

[ Her tone grows a bit irritated, actually, and for the first time ever, the voice addresses someone specifically: ]

We're looking at you, Mister Xerxes. Don't try it again.

[crazily]

[ Wow, what could that announcement be about?? Break has no idea!! He's getting called out for no reason!!

But, you know, his left eye is pretty thoroughly bandaged up, and he looks about as happy with getting lectured if you're inclined to see what the fuck the TVs were talking about. ]

laundry

[okuri]

[ Peeking into the laundry in the morning he does need to get all these gloves done sometime.]

[mothercat]

[ Laundry has become Ranulf's new favorite thing so it's no surprise it's the first place he goes to. When he shows up, he spots Yoite peering into the room and quietly inches forward to peek with him. ]

DING DONG DONG DING

[hopefragment]

[It takes a minute or two after the actual body discovery announcement goes up, but here's Hinata, stumbling out of the schoolhouse still looking fairly sick. He... probably isn't about to throw up, though? That might come later.

If anyone approaches, he'll just helpfully point toward the schoolhouse. That should be answer enough, right? He can't muster the energy to actually announce anything, but he is going to wander around, trying to find people if he can.]

[dereban]

... Are you fucking okay? You look like you're gonna hurl.

[ Although it is obvious that someone is dead af, but better take care of the ones that are alive first. ]

[keepshispride]

[Wow, Hinata, you look like you're about to die. Vegeta's just been wandering around finding absolutely nothing of use.]

What, were you victim number two?

[dhaosu]

[ Oh hey, how helpful, he'll just go...

Actually, he pauses a little. Hinata looks worse than the time he looked like he was in pain. And humans are...well.

Dhaos decides to ask before he runs off this time. ]

Who was it? And do you require any assistance?

[muties]

Whoa, you ok? Did someone get dismembered again?

[fourleafcleaver]

Um—okay, we need to find you somewhere to sit.

[She totally wants to go see the bodies but she will put aside her horrible curiosity to keep her pal here from fuckin fainting in the snow. Here's her arm for leaning on, even if she's like a foot shorter than him?? She's helping, okay.]

[mothercat]

[ That is one Not Okay looking teen right there. Hinata looks downright shell-shocked. Given the way Hinata looks like he's about to throw up, leaving him be prooobably isn't a good idea.

Ranulf approaches slowly, because somehow moving fast seems like it would make things worse. For some reason??? ] Hinata? [ He places a concerned hand on Hinata's shoulder. Let the touching commence. ] Just try to relax and focus on breathing, okay?

[minogame]

( After the announcement, Urashima is trying to find answers! Two bodies?! TWO??? WHO EVEN DOES THAT. And it's while he's out looking for said answers that he finds Hinata looking like... well, looking like he's found said two bodies. Hinata points to the school house and Urashima looks back at it but, well, his first priority is Hinata. Whoever is dead is already dead and there's nothing Urashima can do to help that but Hinata looks like a wreck. )

Hinata-kun? ( He reaches out to help steady him, ) Hinata-kun, you need to rest.
