week one: investigation

[mygod]

Week 1

---

investigation

---

Suddenly, consciousness sinks its icy grip into you and yanks you into the realm of wakefulness.

Disoriented, you rise to your feet. Put one in front of the other. Who were you with last night? Are they all with you? Do they still take breath? You can’t tell. Not yet, at least. Instead, you stumble into the next area, and perhaps you’re not alone, but there is one thing that you are innately aware of: something is wrong. So very, very wrong.

The sky has a faint discoloration to it, and if you peer too closely, you might notice how the air seems to be thrumming, pulsing with magic. You can almost taste it—and if you aren’t careful, may choke on it. It’s best to focus on the task at hand in front of you first.

Welcome, Sacrifices, to your weekly 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 the mods know by pinging us on Discord!

[nona loves ukeleles so much....

anyway Lavi will pause when Totty calls out and head over to look at.... whatever the fuck this is]

What...

[wait he knows what the fck this is]

[sixillusions]

[Goodbye Aerith... I love you :<

Anyway he ponders a little longer and then takes a few steps back before he kicks the tree as hard as he can to see if anything was hidden up in the leaves. Please kill me via coconut concussion thanks]

[underinworld]

[I'm so sad trial isn't immediately afterwards, meaning Erin won't be all static-y upon trial time. Oh well, maybe right before trial I can have her return here to be bodied by sheep again.

i wont obviously but oh well

Takes about a minute for her to be in condition to keep investigating because, you know, farm animals can pack a punch sometimes.

Was anything left by whatever broke the fence with its heavy impact? Pieces...deformation from a heavy blunt impact...blood if what impacted was someone's corpse...]

[segnale]

Oh no...

[HEADING OVER TO LOOK TOO]

[recession]

What is it? We've found a sickle here...

[ Distractedly to Yuffie, because there's things happening here. Wow, Daan's eye is failing him, this is so sad. Well just note that he is being careful to not affect the state of the sickle much because of Saturday shenanigans, he's resigned to things happening tomorrow.

Is Mathis not perceiving the blool, I thought he was. We were both approaching it. Is there anything around it... how big is this blool... really love that blool has entered our regular vernacular.

Still glancing over to whatever Mathis is looking at just in case, also fuck you for not listening. Kids these days. ]

[ (randy your sticks voice) KARLACH, your BARREL

she doesn't have to go too far, maybe waist-deep, and yes, damn daniel will yell at her about getting her hand wet probably.

the barrel is kind of heavy, but not difficult to move around in the water. it runs directly into her chest, bending her over the opening of it and forcing her to (bold coconut tree) to look inside. something red flashes in the shadows of it. ]

[mogger]

We're about to find out!

[ yes she is absolutely going to try!!! i rolled a 13, yeehaw. action yuffie ]

[drymonster]

[ thank god. but also HOW BIG ARE THESE CHESTS...

ok well it's 7:59 so I GUESS HE'S TAKING A QUICK PIC AND TRYING TO TAKE OUT WHATEVER'S IN THIS CHEST...??? LAVI HELP ]

[bookpapers]

[HE WILL HELP TOTTY AHHHH]

[mygod]

[ imagine if i said something about the coconut tree again





Karma Akabane is dead. ]

[halved]

[amazing! she has no idea what she's looking at.

just to double check, she can't tell if these prints came from a canine or a feline? she's owned a cat and pickles is here, so she can probably get a sense... unless we are following mg logic and there's no distinction here.

are the lines thin? wide? do they stop here, or are there more lines and paw prints further down the path? if not, are the paws facing any particular direction? like maybe towards one of the three sections, or perhaps the barn.

she'll carefully get up so she can see more shit, i guess.

are both the sheep and the heifer pens broken, by the way?]

[ablazement]

[oh.]

[flameguard]

[ STILL BEING ATTACKED BY BEES ]

[killies]

[ wow this would be kind of devastating i'm glad i don't have to know about it yet ]

[mygod]

[ they open the chest and...

it is actually full of a bunch of stuff that you'll have to see tomorrow but i'll give you one thing: enjoy some leeches swimming in a pot. cute.

ukulele.

block 1 over leave. ]

[mygod]

[ what's draped on the cow looks like... a large, patterned shirt?

there's no blood on the animal fence, but the wood itself is splintered and broken. that said, all the pieces of the fence can be accounted for visually!

as for asa looking, it's probably hard to distinguish between cat or dog without either of them there! suffer in uncertainty. :) the lines are wide but not thick. the pawprints seem to be heading in the direction of the beach, and the lines follow after it.

the animal pens have one main gate, which is broken! when asa gets up, she might notice something dark fluttering in the wind, being buffeted left and right by all the chaos of the animals running around ]

[drymonster]

[



well i don't know what i expected ]

[mygod]

[ mathis finds an axe lodged into the wall, yay! luckily, it's not inside a body. also along the walls are some more holes; they are kinda scattered the barn walls haphazardly, and not just on this one.

yes you've both been perceiving it but you don't really glean much else from the blool besides that it's a large amount of blood and that the sickle was nearby! daan can perceive the same as mathis when he looks over where he is.

action yuffie!! with a 13, she can nab what's caught on the broken wood—seems like a scrap of... something, but it's gonna be a rough landing. good luck. ]

[cumulative]

[oh thank god it isn't a body



wait an axe and holes are still bad!!

thanks mods hopefully yuffie doesn't break anything but if she does: at least the doctor is right here?? for the record when they hear whatever sound happens from her landing mathis Will hurry over to help.]

[mygod]

[ gootbye lil printies.

the waves wash back in and onto aqua. a few things float around her: two pieces of fabric material and something long and skinny. Something else is farther out into the ocean, bobbing over uncrested waves that won't push it back to shore.

what does she wanna grab! :)

the prints are indiscernible. the coconuts farther out are lying in random, haphazard places and not turned in any particular way. it doesn't seem like they were placed there with purpose.

THE TREE RATTLES AND GROANS FROM KANDA'S ANGRY SASUKE KICK!!! nothing falls out... should it, too, beckon for him to climb it.......? ]

[recession]

[ If I had a nickel for every time Daan watched Yuffie fall off a roof, he would have two nickels already.

Anyway MA'AM. He's going to be looking between the axe, blool, and Yuffie landing but if Mathis is going over to her maybe he can just grab this axe and yoink it out of the wall real quick. He's worried about the fog making everything go away.

OUR INVEST IS OVER I ASSUME? Anyway they can check on Yuffie and start setting off. ]

[naginota]

[ can we perceive this pattern or is it a tomorrow thing...

god look at you all eating shit. iwatooshi will help the girls up?? stop this. does it look like any of the animals are holding onto anything else? does he have to chase more farm animals? ]

[underinworld]

[At least they can be accounted for visually...that's information to pass around.

So, let's see. Anything else to investigate in the fields where the sheep usually are? What do we got to see, if anything?]

[keeper]

[ bless you aerith, aqua will call out for assistance! SHE ONLY HAS TWO HANDS!! ]

Yes, I found some things over here—!

[ she will want to retrieve ALL the items, but if the ones closest to her don't look like they'll get swept away any time too soon (maybe aerith can help nab them), she'll first swim to whatever's further out in the ocean before it gets dragged too far awayyyy ]

[halved]

[wide but not thick??? when you say thick, do you mean, like... the depth... i'm so sorry width and thickness are the same thing to me, so i'm just trying to visualize. are these lines particularly long, by the way? or are they just shorter lines with spaces between.

looks at dice maiden. she's going to try going after the Dark Fluttering Something in the midst of the chaos, but will she succeed? you tell me.]
