WEEK 0: INVESTIGATION

[dormheads]

week zero: investigation

remaining students: ???

On Friday morning at 7AM, everyone will find that they're now able to leave their suites and dormitories. How will they know the time they can leave? Well, it's because it's hard to ignore the fire alarm that's blaring in every building of the campus, and also the fact that all of the banners and materials with the school crest seems to have changed into something slightly different? Hm.

Is this a practice drill? Did someone pull the alarm? Perhaps there's an actual fire somewhere. There's only one way to find out.

Maybe you should look around.

Welcome Students, to the first investigation!

We will be posting top-levels for searchable locations—one set at 6PM EST and another set at 7PM EST. Each location will contain evidence to find, though it's up to your efforts as to whether you find all of it. Please coordinate investigation groups on Discord, as we ask that group threads consist of no more than 2-3 characters.

We will stop tagging each top-level two hours after it went up, i.e. at 8PM and 9PM EST, respectively. Don't worry if you don't find everything! Characters will get the chance to revisit locations tomorrow at trial. At 9PM EST, an announcement will go up, confirming the victim(s).

If you have any questions at any time, please let us know by pinging us on Discord!

[Oh, yes. Snapping his fingers.]

Right, like I said to you two earlier. The yell and the thump!

[But he's digging in his pocket to get his phone, starting up the talk-to-speech.]

Beauregard? Where the fuck are you. For some reason, we woke up and decided to terrorize the geese this morning and found Sieghart in a ditch and some plush feet accessories. Don't know why that's weird or anything considering I wake up in ditches all the time, but here we are.

[Oh right]

You can respond to this message ... ?

[katzepaw]

[That was a pretty good message, yeah. A pretty good summary. Except for the part where they were locked in and then suddenly all passed out and some of them were moved. That part is maybe not great. But he's still not thinking murders happened.]

. . . Do you remember passing out, a little bit after that?

[ercnerd]

I must've blacked out on my way to investigate the sounds . . .

[But it doesn't explain why he's waking up out here in, as coined by Mollymauk, a ditch.

He nods along to Caleb when he stops and raises an elbow to look at his upper arm. The marks, of which there are two types, are the same as those on his face.]

What's with these? . . . Did a goose bite me?

[divineimpulse]

[hold the futuristic handheld talking device]

You were able to go outside?

[she draws closer to sieg in order to investigate the bites herself, without actually touching or detaining him.]

It looks like more than just a goose.

[headmt]

[Looking at his phone for a bit, but ... ]

No response.

[Okay, fine, now he will be a little bit worried. Since it seems to have gone through.]

Last I saw you were heading upstairs? Don't remember you coming back down.

[katzepaw]

[Ugh. He's just grumpier now. Walking him back towards his dorm.]

So you don't remember what happened, but you did get close to the sound we heard.

[ercnerd]

I don't know if I managed to get close. I wasn't outside, either.

[At Byleth's comment, Sieghart squints at the other type of marks along his arm. Realization dawns and he frowns.]

. . . Now why would they do that? I didn't even chase any of them.

[divineimpulse]

Chase what?

[this isn't adding up. none of this is.

but they were also more or less forced to return to their dorms the night before. so who was to say this was any different?

she looks at her phone once, twice, and writes another message.]

[headmt]

[Looking at the damp slippie?]

And who's even are these then? Somehow ended up with you.
