Week 3; investigation

Week 3: 4th Investigation

Well it sure has been a strange week, hasn't it? Maybe you're all still drowsy from your slumber party, or maybe you wanted some time alone and purposely didn't go hang with the reindeer. Either way, the house is only getting creepier so it should probably come as no surprise that you guys need to have a look around and see if Santa left the naughty children any coal. Or you know, dead bodies.

Once again, it's time for an investigation! Characters may go about their morning business, just be sure you let us know what room you're investigating in and we'll let you know if your morning is getting rudely interrupted. But don't worry if you miss out! There's plenty to find and a killer to catch. Just have to figure out whose Christmas time was cut short first.

[aww shit he got a present and it's a

...

...

...

yeah fuck this he's going to the kitchen]

[jinglehellmods]

[ Boy you sure hit the jackpot today, Guzma! The kitchen is in some disarray, in fact it's impossible to miss this: one of the fridges is toppled over. These things are huge! Definitely enough to crush a person under its weight...

Ah, is that blood coming from under the fridge? Care to take a closer look? (As a note, things are about to get a little graphic.) ]

[acherontiastyx]

[...he takes a deep breath. okay. he's going to try and take a closer look and it would be a whole lot easier to investigate if that Pokeball wasn't freaking empty!!]

[doublesmall]

[may as well check out the top floor to make sure nothing's up before going downstairs! so chuuya's going to pop into the library and see if things are all good in there.]

[jinglehellmods]

[ There's definitely something weird in the library. The smell of blood is pretty hard to miss. You'll want to investigate further later, but if you want to take a closer look inside, go ahead!

(Also a note that things might get graphic here too.) ]

[doublesmall]

[ohhh boy.

yeah chuuya's fine with blood so he'll probably go ahead and get a closer look, sure!]

[You guys will have to give Luna a bit of a break this morning; not only was she not expecting to find a pile of presents outside the door, but for one of them to be her wedding dress... for those who are there when she opens it, her surprise and sorrow at seeing it are on full display.

But once Chuuya comes back in, warning them to stay away from the library if they're squeamish, Lunafreya pushes back those feelings for now--there's something far more pressing at hand than her personal sorrow! She'll be headed to the dining room first and foremost; she's spent a lot of time in that room this week, focusing on the feelings that seem to have taken on a life of their own there, and following up on that is her first priority.]

[jinglehellmods]

[ Good thinking, Luna! If you were looking for something suspicious, you need look no further.

See, Lunafreya is not alone in the dining room this morning. Someone seems to be seated at one of the tables. Why not step in closer and go say hi? ]

[princesstarshine]

Wow, one person wasn't enough for you huh?

[ starshine is here, as per usual, to complain about ...well, everything. she seems particularly ...inconvenienced today. ]

No, you had to go and kill two people instead. Wow! Great job! Look, I checked the bodies for you and both Rider and Sugimoto are dead. So. I mean, no one had a question about Sugimoto, I hope.

Anyways, do your thing and find the evidence. Figure out the killer-slash-killers-slash-whatever.

evidence list;

[jinglehellmods]

Dining Room (5/5)
Not the worst body to find today
Poker? I hardly knew her!
A clean and unnatural setting.
Who'd eat this??

Library (4/4)
Bloody trail, dead ahead
A clean cut for a grizzly act
A scene set with care
A smeared handprint on this poor book

Kitchen (8/8)
Cleavers are pretty dangerous, kids
Watch where you're stepping
Doesn't anyone wash their hands when they murder anymore?
What's a wire spring doing here?
Follow the wire, where does it lead?
The cookies stop here
So that's where that went
Right in the chest

Foyer (3/3)
A delicious trail leads to
A bloody message and...?
A bloody cleaver.

Pantry (3/3)
Things got messy here
Gold is pretty rare here
The best part of waking up is Folgers in your cup

DINING ROOM

[theothermrgray]

[Dorian was already a little more than shook today. Someone had wrapped up the key to his attic and left it for him. Then someone else said there was a headless body in the kitchen.]

[Looks like he'll go to the dining room then! No messy bodies here,
yes?]

AREA CLEAR

[jinglehellmods]

LIBRARY

[jinglehellmods]

[doublesmall]

[since chuuya found the head in here, he'll return for a closer look... now that he knows where the body is, he's keeping an eye on the floor for a blood trail to see just how messy this event was.]

AREA CLEAR

[jinglehellmods]

KITCHEN

[jinglehellmods]

[acherontiastyx]

[okay fuck it. he doesn't sleep much anyway and he hasn't eaten today. let's fucking do it.

...

he'll compare the cleaver to the decapitation point first.]

AREA CLEAR

[jinglehellmods]

FOYER

[jinglehellmods]

[acherontiastyx]

[okay let's go to the foyer, probably no corpses in the foyer right.]

AREA CLEAR

[jinglehellmods]

PANTRY

[jinglehellmods]

[transparentanswer]

[The Pantry had that weird room in it, right? Or was connected to it––couldn't hurt to check if anything seems strange or off inside the Pantry.]
