[ 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.

Post-Investigations Roundup

[stds]

[ taking place in the living room as everyone comes back... ]

So... I think we probably know by now that someone died, and in a pretty gruesome manner. We should share what we found and account for everyone.

[ replying to my own toplevel yeehaw- ]

Kyoko and I found a bunch of butchered body parts in the kitchen. There was a human torso, still clothed. Inside a pot were chopped up arms, missing hands from the wrists. And inside the oven were the legs going down to the feet, which still had shoes on them.

There was a kitchen knife covered in blood on a cutting board. The fridge had some bloody smears on it too. And a lot of water on the floor, soapy.

[ she grimaces hearing all of this. ]

That's....

[ she looks down. ]

All I found with Mr. Tennmyouji was Mr. Fukuhara in the garden. Alive. He's alive.

[ she butchered all those last names like Yves was butchered. ]

[dresscode]

[ HORRIFIED FUCKING SILENCE??????? HELLO????????????????????? ]

[voring]

Woah.

[That oven is so big.]

[factoring]

[ Nodding to corroborate this account. ]

[NANI THE FUCK]

[fbwhy]

Yuta and I... found a pool table.

[ Fuck. She's just a little shaken by the mention of a bunch of body parts. ]

Table. In the pool. It was burned. A-and we also found Kalim unconscious in the hot tub.

[ But! Not dead! ]

[asimilate]

[I'm just gonna leave him unconscious for this conversation so he's wherever Grace put him]

[stds]

Hm. It's good you got him out before he was cooked alive.

[voring]

We found someone in the producer's room!

[Looks around because he cannot fucking remember what Princess looks like.]

[changel]

[OBIKAWA WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS]

[r. raises her uninjured hand]

That someone was me.

[dresscode]

[ OH MY GOD OBIKAWA. Haruaki actually looks mildly irritated for the first time all week. ]

It was Princess-chan. She was unharmed... until the door slammed on her hand. But she doesn't know how she got there.

[dissimulative]

[ hears what other people say and just






mutters "what the hell..." ]

... Minato and I found a notepad with a recipe on it and a pen with blood on it.

[ anyway ]

What do you mean you found pieces of a body like that?!

[memori3s]

[ beginning to realize what that recipe was for, after hearing about what was in the kitchen -- ]

Ah... The recipe...!

[honeytraps]

[changel]

Miss Milly. . .?

[girl u okay]

[dresscode]

Milly-san...

[ She's been so lovely to him so far, despite his Everything. Haruaki moves a little closer, reaching out to steady her with a gentle hand on her shoulder. ]

I-it's a lot, right? If you want to step outside, I think that's okay.

[ Tamon sure did. ]

[aspirings]

[This is real though.

He'd like to comfort her but he is also reeling and he didn't even see anything.]

[combathatchet]

[Leon's here, and he comes bearing... a pair of eyeballs, gingerly resting in an outstretched palm. This would be a prime time for a quip if he were a lesser person.]

More and I found these in the library. [The irises are blue-grey, AKA ~the color of the dawn~] They were resting on an open book, on top of a... stew recipe.

[Seems like someone's got a sick sense of humor.]

[dresscode]

EEP!!!

[ DAWG PUT THOSE EYEBALLS AWAY?????????????? ]

A-are they real!?

[stds]

Geez. This butcher really went to town.

[changel]

[just]

[covers her mouth with her uninjured hand and looks away]

[yesterbloom]

[ she closes her eyes.

okay!!! okay..... ]

[fixtures]

[ Well. Giselle is here, posture perfect as usual. ]

Assuming all body parts are accounted for, and we are certain there was only one victim... then the identity of the person killed is Yves.

[ She is. Relaying this information as coldly and neutrally as possible. ]

Milly and I discovered his head in the dining room. He was missing his eyes... but both his hands, and all ten fingers were present. It also appeared a large amount of blood had been drained and used to fill cups, though I am not yet certain whether it was his.
