WEEK 3: INVESTIGATION

[dormheads]

week three: 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 fourth 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!

SPRING DORM COMMON ROOM + STABLE

[dormheads]

[This thread will require at least one person from Spring Dorm!]

[feytality]

[ ok well let's start at spring dorm because maya's life is a spiraling abyss. what we got? anything immediately visible? ]

[ she will let the others in as well ]

[foreversweaterweather]

Oooooh! I've never been inside spring dorm before!

[ Mabel is immediately gonna check less obvious locations: under furniture and digging through the greenery of the potted plants for...anything ]

GARDENS

[dormheads]

[txt]

[Well.

Ichinose has both of her eyes still and she will use them to perceive the gardens. What's immediately visible as she approaches the area? Anything directly outside of the area, as well?]

[branches]

[Tsuyukusa seems almost offended, as if someone would DARE involve the gardens in a MURDER??? INCREDIBLY RUDE.

He has spent a lot of time in the gardens, so he's going to take a particular eye to the place, looking for trampled flowers where people might have walked, freshly turned earth, etc.]

Is this seriously happening again?

ORCHARDS

[dormheads]

[duranduel]

[Here's Mandricardo! In his armor, and...still in his dunce hat. This is very fitting for investigations. Don't look at him.]

[Anyways, he's sort of wandering near the orchards, peering in, and looking back at whoever joins him first.]

Do they really need to turn that alarm on every time...?

[illuminance]

... In their defense, it is a good cause for alarm. Even if we have grown used to it.

[ wow, her voice sounds better than yesterday. and when she coughs it's not nearly as bad! she is still moving a bit slow with her injuries, but she's here! and just giving a surface once-over to the area. anything stand out right away...? ]

SUB + CAFETERIA

[dormheads]

[goalsides]

[people who should not be out right now: taichi.
people who should not be out right now without a jacket: also taichi.

but he's well aware that yamato's going to bitch at him if he goes by himself, so it's why he heads out of fall dorm and has a loose grip on his hand as they head for the sub. let's check the mailboxes and first floor first?]

I'm not letting you crash face-first into something. [as an explanation for the handholding, apparently.]

[ghoststrums]

[ yeah uh. yamato's still wearing his horrid bloody camo cat hoodie because it's not like he had time to change during the fire alarm, so. here he is. holding taichi's hand and frowning at his no jacket. taichi! your FROSTBITE ]

... I'm not going to crash.

[ if there is anything on the ground of the first floor mods please let him trip on it at this exact moment, thank you. anyway he'll observe the door of the SUB when they go in first with his one eye ]

AUDITORIUM

[dormheads]

[katzepaw]

[Well, here's Caleb, dressed in his warm coat and fuzzy scarf, wandering out to the new areas to check it out. Anything obvious on stepping in through the doors?]

[arcsplainist]

[ 'Sup, Alphinaud is also here, bundled up because it's heckin' cold y'all. He wanders in not long after Caleb. ]

Another pleasant morning...

[ He will also be looking around outside the entrance, as well. ]

Shortly after, all phones will receive a notification stating that all Dorm Heads currently attending mandatory meeting following emergency. Emails and messages will go through, but they will not be able to respond. (Please don't send Audience Requests but you can OOCly let us know if your character tries to contact them.)

Any further investigation will not manifest in any more clues. You'll simply have to hold onto the pieces that you have until tomorrow.

EVIDENCE

[dormheads]

ICly, your characters will be holding onto evidence they found (aside the body, which disappears after a while once it's not within sight); OOCly, however, please mention here what your character is bringing to trial so that everyone has an easy list for reference tomorrow!
