[ week one: investigation ]

[murderhost]

INVESTIGATION

On Friday morning, you wake up — groggy and uncertain over when you went to sleep, how you went to sleep, and how you got in your bed. Yet, you are in your bed (unless...?) and there is a sense of foreboding in the air. Some people might notice their roommates are not in their beds. Some people might notice their roommates are still sleeping. Let's hope the ones who aren't there just got up a bit earlier than everyone else and aren't, you know, the victim. Or victims.

But the doors are unlocked now and the house is accessible again. Time to go investigating.

HOW THIS WORKS: Below are top levels for every location in the house. Please reply with your character entering or interacting with the location and the mod journal will reply, sharing details over what your character will find in the location. We'll let everyone in the discord know when all points of interest have been found.

[ This feels weird? This feels weird.

Grace doesn't remember falling asleep, which is concerning on its own, but once she can investigate, she's going to cautiously head to the pool.

Unsure what this sense of foreboding is, but still. ]

[incurse]

[ He doesn't remember falling asleep either...which is saying something, as a member of the local eyebags club. Heading out to the pool, he catches up with Grace, offering her a nod. ]

Something...feels off. Doesn't it?

[murderhost]

[ At least it's nicer out here than it was before.

The first and most immediately noticeable thing is that there's a burned table... floating in the middle of the pool.

Sure! ]

[fbwhy]

Off, like... a pool table?

[ Wait. That's an actual thing. ]

... Table pool. Table in the pool--!

[ Help her. Time to awkwardly step closer to said pool. ]

[incurse]

[ LITERAL POOL TABLE HELP ]

Ehh? And it's...been burned?

[ It's not the first time he's been in this pool in his clothes, but hopefully it's the last. He slips into the water to wade forward and try to tug the table closer to the edge of the pool by one of its legs. ]

[murderhost]

[ He can certainly do that! It's pretty cold in the water right now, even though the temperatures are improving, but it's just a regular table, so it's easy enough to drag to the edge of the pool.

Nothing else too noteworthy about it, just a table. ]

[fbwhy]

Burned...

And in the pool... did someone set this on fire accidentally and have to put this out... uh. Dramatically?

[ She'll offer Yuta a hand out of the pool, at least. ]

... Let's look around, just to make sure. [ That there are no more traumatized tables? ]

[incurse]

[ HE'S SO COLD NOW AND FOR WHAT...but he does take Grace's offered hand as he pushes himself back out of the water. ]

...Yeah. Maybe there's other signs of a blaze.

[ The pool table will continue to just...float there. It'd sure be a lot of effort to put out a fire that way... ]

[murderhost]

[ Time to look around! The rest of the pool area looks pretty normal and much like they left it after their miserable rager, but...

Hm, after another look, it looks like there's someone in the hot tub. ]

[fbwhy]

... Uh.

S-stay behind me, Yuta...

[ Wow. She's so brave. Even though she's already let him go first once before, and she has no shivs or anything on her, and maybe someone is just chilling in the hot tub, five feet apart 'cause they're not gay--

But time to creep over there to check it out. ]

[incurse]

[ You know what, she's got this one. He follows behind her, eyes narrowing on the form in the hot tub. Uhhh... ]

Um...hey, is someone there?

[ god help him if it's naked mifune again ]

[murderhost]

[ They creep closer, very bravely!

And in the hot tub, there is....... a body!!








Am I allowed to do this joke twice in one log? It's Kalim. He's alive, just passed out and gently turning lobster red from being in the hot tub all night. Rip.

That's everything here! ]

[fbwhy]

[ Oh, no. Not another teenage boy.

Grace lets out an alarmed yelp, reaching out to shake his shoulder and also try to pull him up at the same time. ]

K-Kalim! Hey! Wake up!

[incurse]

[ ALL NIGHT? HIS GOOSE IS GETTING COOKED

Sliding quickly down to his knees, pressing his fingers against Kalim's neck to feel for a pulse before

A huge sigh of relief. ]

He's alive.

[ Just a dumbass, apparently. ]

[asimilate]

[continues to be a very unconscious tomato

I have nothing to say here I just wanted to use my otter icon]

[fbwhy]

[ Valid.

Grace breathes out, a little shakily, and I guess, they. Uh.

Are just gonna lug him back inside, if Pixi so desires?? ]
