[ week one: investigation ]

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.

[ Beneath the lingering blood and gore from the eyeballs, it appears to be a stew recipe!

The eyeballs are ~the color of the dawn~.

By which I mean they're a very pretty blue-grey! ]

[ More does not understand television, but he does know that people love violent spectacle, so he can only nod at that. ]

... I am no stranger to public executions, to death being made spectacle for onlookers, but this is simply sadistic.

[ Blue eyes... There is such a sinking feeling in his stomach. Are there any bloody trails around the table by the way? ]

[combathatchet]

[Sadistic is right. The color of those eyes... That feeling of dread from before? It's gnawing at him tenfold now.

All the same, Leon calmly picks up... one of the eyes... to investigate it. I'm sorry. Anything notable about it? Or just your run-of-the-mill plucked out(?) eye?]

...How many people here have blue eyes? [Gonna have to do a headcount after this,]

[murderhost]

[ I don't know what makes a plucked eye not run-of-the-mill, but yeah, these are regular old eyeballs. Nothing wrong with them, no trauma beyond the "yanking them out of someone's skull" type of trauma.

There's no blood or anything around the table -- or around the library at all, really.

It's just the eyeballs and the book.

That's all here! ]

[akademise]

A few, but...

[ It's a distinctive shade. More winces. ]

I believe-- We should go and alert the others. Make certain who is accounted for.

[ Let's not speak any specific death into existence. Every option would be horrible!! ]

[combathatchet]

[A very specific shade...]

You're right. Maybe there's still something we can do. [A GUY CAN STILL BE ALIVE WITH MISSING EYEBALLS, RIGHT. RIGHT-

It's time to go and spread this very worrisome news.]
