WEEK 1: INVESTIGATION

[dormheads]

week one: 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 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 second 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!

[They didn't really know each other, but they did speak the one time. Sieghart straightens after a brief pause. There's nothing to be done.]

Come on. We'll move him once we've finished investigating.

[Once he's supported by Tsuyukusa again, he'll head inside the building to take a look.]

[............ Bloody like someone got stabbed with that half after it was already snapped, or like someone touched it? Either way, yikes.

She takes a picture of the dumbbell before she inspects it. Is the dumbbell marked up or bloodied in any way? And again, does it look like it was just dropped to the ground? How close to the body is it, anyway? She'll think to take a picture of the body, too, for reference. But if that's a no-no, we can just say oops she didn't tap the button.

She stares at the body, like she isn't sure what to do with it.]

... Hmm, maybe they were in a hurry to avoid getting caught. I see three whole set of footprints, but only one body.

[A pause, staring at the corpse for a second longer. And then she moves on to the archery area.]

[dormheads]

[As Tsuyukusa crouches down to check the body, he'll see a few small marks in the dirt nearby.

The broken rapier is bloody like someone got stabbed, potentially.

The dumbbell does not have any markings or blood. It looks like it fell to the ground, pretty much right by the body.

Everyone abandons the corpse. Poor Lan Wangji. But nothing appears out of place in the building or in the archery area.]

[branches]

[Oh??? What are these marks??? Can he identify them as anything specific or are they just generic The Ground Has Been Disturbed.

But yeah after that he is abandoning the corpse to usher Sieg inside.]

I guess? They left a weapon lying around, too.

[ercnerd]

[They'll be back. In fact, seeing that there's nothing out of place at a glance, he beckons Tsuyukusa to go back outside. He also raises his voice enough for Ichinose to hear him.]

. . . I don't see anything here. We can revisit this area later. Let's collect him and go back.

[And they can all take a look at the marks again while they're there.]

[txt]

... Right. I'll leave him in your capable hands, and take the weapons back with me for tomorrow.

[She snaps a pic of the marks, too. And will also take a look just in case it's something modern-ish?? Or, like, that could potentially be explained by the rapier or dumbbell. What do these marks look like, man.]

[dormheads]

[The marks are thin and narrow.

Are they moving the body.]

[ercnerd]

[Tsuyukusa and Sieghart work together to lift him.]

[dormheads]

[As they do, they can confirm that there's a pool of blood underneath.]

[ercnerd]

[Lan Wangji's whites . . . ]
