[ 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.

[WORST PERSON TO PUT IN THE PRODUCTION ROOM TBH]

No. Which is strange, because Mister Arisato believed that Mister Butterworth was working in that room earlier in the week.

It must be where he's coming and going from. [ That or the basement...but the production room just makes more sense. ] But if there's not another door and he wasn't in there...how is he getting around?

[ It's more of a rhetorical question, but, hm. Much to ponder... ]

Are you doing okay?

[the Production Room made more sense to her, too. but then why shove her there for?? like?? an entire night??]

[she shakes her head in response to the first question, and pauses before answering the second]


. . . I am rather distraught. Mister Yves was. . .

[. . .]

I will be all right, however.

[ Yves-san was kind. Had offered Yuta his help more than once, and had been a warm presence that the house needed. They'd been talking about romance, just yesterday—

This isn't the time to mourn him, though. Not now. ]


Mm. If you're sure. [ A beat. ] Is this your first time? Seeing...a body, I mean.

[ Hm... ]

Me neither. That...doesn't really make it easier though, does it?

[ Especially considering...how gruesomely this was carried out. ]
