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!

how is karlach doing? chasing a crab.
ok.
uhhh. anything else going on around here...? ]
no subject
it has something black in its other claw, waving it around, about a few inches in length. it feels plastic-y, but does karlach know a plastic.
rondo climbs the best coconut tree he has ever seen and felt. his weight makes it teeter back and forth. oh!! at the top, he can see something out in the water of the ocean... a large brown something.
one of the coconuts falls out of the tree at rondo's jostling and lands on the ground by ashlyn's feet.
except it isn't a coconut,
it's a beehive. (meme voice) run ]
no subject
Ow! Fuck you!
[what hand did it snap so i can continue to be ethan winters
anyway, no, she doesn't know a plastic necessarily but she's going to grab at it anyway to try and get it away from the crab, and attempts to slap the crab off her hand. SHE DOESN'T WANT TO KILL IT. go home to your wife.]
no subject
Wow, I can see really well from here - Karlach! There's something in the water! [ he calls out!!! how far out is it? is it a swimmable distance? can we discern the shape of the object from this amazing view that ashlyn suffered for. ] Miss Ashlyn, we should probably get back to -
[ bees
[ is there anything else in this fucking tree besides coconuts and bees ]
no subject
AND NOW BEES. but ashlyn can't just abandon rondo up in a fucking tree, so she is just... AH!!! ]
Jump! Get down! Come on!
[ ACTUALLY. ARE THE BEES EVEN GOING AFTER HIM UP THERE OR WILL THEY JUST CHASE HER? BECAUSE IF THEY ARE IGNORING RONDO SHE'LL DITCH HIM AND JUST START SPRINTING AWAY TOWARDS THE NEAREST SHELTER. ]
no subject
and then its entire arm, claw and all, rips out from karlach's sexy strength. it falls onto the ground, kicks sand at her, and then scuttles away!!! BACK TO ITS WIFE!! without a prize, so now she will reject his advances.
listen. the coconut tree wanted you all to look at it, i don't make the rules. the bees at the coconut tree chase ashlyn, of course, since she is definitely the one who has done the MOST offense to them.
out in the ocean, a lone barrel bobs in the waves within swimming distance. ]
no subject
okay
wait did the crab rip its arm off to get away from karlach or am i reading this wrong. i must be reading this wrong. well she has a piece of plastic i suppose. is there anything on this side of the beach with the tracks and things before she starts her way back to bees?
did the tracks actually go all this way or did they stop at some point (or does that not matter)]
no subject
Oh no - hey, hey!! HEY!!! LEAVE HER ALONE!!!!! Pick on someone your own size!!!
[ GOODBYE COCONUT TREE I GUESS RONDO'S LEAPING OUT OF IT AND TRYING TO ATTRACT THE WASPS AWAY FROM ASHLYN!!!!!! lIKE AN IDIOT!!!!!!
i sure would love to go get the barrel but alas. bees. we're counting on you karlach. ]
no subject
(tuxedo mask voice: my work here is done) ]
no subject
the barrel is just out there, waiting.
the bees leave ashlyn be(e), yay! hehe. except now they turn around and descend onto rondo to maul him with their stingers.
the coconut tree did this. ]
no subject
anyway i'm going to assume the tracks don't matter and just. take a look at ashlyn and rondo screaming about bees, and then.
turn and walk into the ocean to go touch the barrel. what's up with the barrel. how far out is it! is daan going to be mad at her for getting her hand wet]
no subject
[ this is also yelled as he is being ATTACKED by bees
and uselessly swinging his sword to fight off the bees. wouldn't it be cool if he could do a cool sick sacred flame light attack and kill them all at once. this is what he would do if he had magic powers. which he does not because this is a murdergame and he forgot.
anyway he's going to get stung by bees a lot now but at least ashlyn will not. a knight has done his duty :salute: ]
no subject
1/2
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. ]
