WEEK 4: INVESTIGATION

[dormheads]

week four: 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 fifth 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!

[ good to know. he'll snap some pictures of the merchandise with the slash marks, and then

go help caleb lift the shelf because he's a wizard and probably needs help ]

[dormheads]

[You know what? It's Chuck Tingle. "this is a campus bookstore for selling class materials" maybe there is a class analyzing his works.

Caleb and Ichiro work hard to lift the shelf. All they get for their efforts, though, are the books on the ground that probably spilled from the shelf.]

[disreguarded]

[i'm so glad, i'm taking this book.]

Are you guys seeing anything? It's kind of just a fucking mess.

[katzepaw]

Nothing. Another sweep?

[He will do that, taking a look at the books that spilled first for anything noteworthy and then doing a careful sweep of the rest of the room.]

[steelo]

Just a lot of books.

[ so much for that plan.

there's not a second floor or anything to the bookshop is there? just the bookstore itself? also no blood on any of the slashed up stuff? ]

[dormheads]

[No blood! There probably isn't a second floor.

But a sweep doesn't net anything different from what they've already found. Basically (beau voice) just a fucking mess.]

[disreguarded]

[mods why would you say probably, you know how we are

she rubs at her face.]

... Okay? Okay. [i can't think of anything else to look at...] Well, I guess we have slash marks.

Do we wanna check anything else out?

[katzepaw]

Actually, there was one other thing.

[Sorry for this MODS this is probably stupid but I was reading the description of the cafeteria and realized we never specified checking the kitchen portion so Caleb is just going to go back there and do that. Anything amiss?]

[steelo]

[ APPARENTLY NO PHANTOM SECOND FLOOR please is there a cash register area??? anything like that??? i can't think of anything either. throws hands in the air ]

Let's go grab Alphinaud.

[dormheads]

[I say probably because if I say there definitely isn't one, Anna might emerge from the ether, shoot me, and go "fuck you jan there's a second floor." :pensive:

But their continued search turns up nothing new.]

[disreguarded]

[ok neat i'm gonna go pick up alphinaud and body slam him

actually, beau will take a picture of the orange stuff on the ground too. it wasn't disturbed right. was it. god.]
