week 8 - investigation

[vicedirector]

seven vices case 8 - investigation ♫ friday On Friday morning, nothing happens. It's 10AM, and there are no blackouts or explosions. There's no blood, no objects out of place, no missing guests. Nada. Zip. Zilch. The monitor in the lobby is silent, and Katerina doesn't seem to have anything to say on the matter. On the most desperate of weeks...could someone have actually not taken the initiative? >Mingle? cast setting

[Lithuania hasn't actually had breakfast yet. Oh, she's been awake for hours, but with no murder, she's a bit on edge and maybe a tiny bit excessively paranoid. Still, she also doesn't want to just hide in her room for hours, so she's hovering around the lobby.]

I suppose there's nothing yet...? [Yet. Lithuania is too pessimistic to believe in nothing at all this week.]

[hopefragment]

Have you noticed anyone missing?

[Hinata's obviously just as uncomfortable. On this, of all weeks...? It really seems too good to be true.]

[dhaosu]

[ He's come downstairs, and looking around. ]

I sincerely doubt it. If anything, perhaps it's a trick to make us think nothing occurred.

[ Seriously, he is not that optimistic. ]

[sobowtor]

[Okay. But. Can we have breakfast now?]

You say that like that's a bad thing.

[muties]

I'm creeped as fuck out rn, not gonna lie.

[ where is the body THERE'S ALWAYS A BODY even at easter there were bodies!! ]

[unpleasantries]

I think it's probably only a matter of time before something happens...

[This was a motive that hit a lot of people pretty hard, after all.]

[detanimetion]

[Assuming they're not DEAD or THE MURDERER, Undyne will be hovering protectively around the rest of Team Pride if she can find them, Sans and Clover. She doesn't look too relieved either, her spear already in hand though its tip is currently planted in the ground as she leans on it.]

Okay, everyone who's still alive and kicking stay in this lobby and don't go anywhere! Let us know the second you see anyone make a suspicious move!

[Because let's be real, there's no way they're getting out of this week without someone hitting betray.]

[billarious]

Huh. Maybe someone got bored with everyone always murderin' at night. Or wanted a challenge or something.

[Murdering when everyone's all together would definitely be a challenge after all.]

A thing

[vicedirector]

[ Although remaining gathered in the lobby is a plan made in good faith, at approximately 10:15AM, there's already quite a few people missing, whether having left out of boredom, suspicion, or much more sinister purposes.

Namely Hanyuu, Clover, Urashima, Dhaos, Yoite, Sans, Satori, and Poland. ]

>Investigate?

clinic

[brawlhalla]

[ Astrid is among those who fucks off, honestly, because she can't stand still forever and also a lot of people already fucked off. SHE MAY AS WELL GO INVESTIGATE PLACES? clinic here she goes ]

[billarious]

[Bill's right behind her, because investigation is way more fun than just standing around. Even if there isn't a body. (There's probably a body somewhere.)]

What if there isn't a murder this week though. Wouldn't that be ironic?

kitchen, likely moving around

[herbgrace]

[Oh my God, Poland, if you went outside without her Lithuania is going to kill you and that's gonna be the trial. It will be a terrible trial and she will have no regrets. Anyway, first stop is the kitchen, because Poland was whining about being hungry.]

Poland, are you in here? [Is anything out of place?]

[vicedirector]

[ There's a few things in here. Firstly, there's a spool of twine on the counter, unraveled and a complete mess, really. ]

starting at general store, moving around

[detanimetion]

[So after Sans ran off, Undyne dropped Clover off at the lobby first before chasing after him. Look, even she's not crazy enough to carry around someone else in this situation okay!]

Sans! You fucking asshole, where did you go?! [She pokes her head into the general store, but since she's mainly looking for Sans, she'll move on if nothing immediately jumps out.]

[vicedirector]

[ Nothing here. Keep scouting for Mr. Lazybones, Detective Undyne. ]

Road behind the hotel, heading toward the boathouse

[hopefragment]

[Listen, the boathouse is dangerous for accidents as well as murders, so Hinata, presumably with Roxy in literal tow and Faize in figurative tow, is heading around back of the hotel to look both ways up and down the road for anything suspicious before starting toward the boathouse.]

I knew it... maybe they just wandered off, but...

[He Worried.]

[muties]

[ See, the holding hand system is even more foolproof than the buddy system and that works if done right! ]

Didn't someone, like everyone, say "don't fuck off alone"? Cause I remember that being a thing and yet.

[ Why does no one listen and just not! die! ]

DING DONG, etc

[vicedirector]

[ As soon as the lake party arrivs, all televisions in the hotel will turn on to static, waking up anyone still asleep. Katerina begins speaking: ]

A crime has been committed. Someone is now dead. Please rise, and investigate.

the pool

[lastgirl]

[As people begin to go missing, Buddy will set out to find Yoite in particular. He is one of the only people left she actually kind of likes after all, regardless of her biases.

She'll start with the pool. Anything at all? No floating corpses with any hope.]

[dhaosu]

[ Dhaos had lost sight of Clover at some point and he could not find Yoite either. So naturally, he is looking for both of them. He would just insist he was looking for Yoite, however. ]

... Find anything?

[vicedirector]

( Nothing at all! No pool parties this week. )

lobby

[thebonezone]

[after the murder announcement, sans is back in the lobby, this time with Accompanying Papyrus! safe and sound and--... he leaves for like twenty minutes and someone dies??]

wait. what.

[what was faster the murder or people finding the murder??? golly gee]

[friendboned]

[Papyrus has a bowl of spaghetti]

[HEY GUYS WHAT'S GOING ON IN THIS PLURK]

I CAN'T FIND HER....

WHAT'S GOING ON??

[hopefragment]

[Well while Faize is heroically carrying Clover, and Roxy is heroically carrying Hanyuu, here's Hinata, with some weird medical tubing clutched in one sweater-covered hand. He... looks like he's going to be vaguely ill as he enters the lobby. Presumably Faize has gone to drop the pinkest corpse off in the chapel, leaving Hinata just of... stuck here, reporting back to the others.]

...Clover. She was... we found her h-hanging. At the boathouse.

[He looks like he's going to cry... someone please take this evidence away from him and store it somewhere safe.]

[dereban]

[ GUESS WHO IS PHYSICALLY LATE WITH STARBUCKS Inaba is here with her laptop and can't even say anything. So she doesn't. ]

Field-san died? That's horrible...

[ Like Inaba seriously just showed up out of nowhere after being not here for so long??? It doesn't look like Inaba typed anything, either, huh. ]

I'd ask what happened, but I'm... probably going to find out tomorrow, aren't I?
