week four: investigation

[mygod]

Week 4!!!!!!

---

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!

After two hours, characters will find that their surroundings warp and ripple as a veil of magic closes in over each location, restoring it to normalcy. But the village itself is not normal; the crows squawk, the pyre flares and holds an eerie blue, and the church bell tolls. The stars shudder and fall from the sky until none are left, the moon snuffed out last. The monster presence in your mind goes between quiet and restless.

There are some new posters on the bulletin board.


Rest in Peace

Izutsumi, None Lives Left
Kanda Yuu, Might Stay Down This Time
Rondo, The Flame Extinguished

Happy Friday Dieday! A few things:

The crows can be heard, but not reached. Overseers are not available on Friday. The posters cannot be removed, vandals only receive more paper cuts. All investigation locations are cloaked in a veil of swirling magic; while this veil can be passed through painlessly, characters will find that locations look completely restored to normal after doing so, and will not be able to further investigate. That includes looking for bodies!

Characters will need to be responsible for holding onto evidence until trial, though they will not be able to tamper with it. Please use the sub toplevel to turn in evidence, unless your character ICly would withhold evidence, in which case you do not have to. See you all at trial!

PYRE

[mygod]

[bookpapers]

[what's the animal crossing reaction for relief... WHATEVER IT IS IT SHOWS UP OVER LAVI'S HEAD when he sees Robin and Ashlyn,]

M'glad you guys are okay.

[hey why are we still alive...... Lavi will look over at the Scawwy Library first ig, is there anything noticeably different about it]

[sonorant]

[ there are little stars twinkling above her head because people are alive, but they dim because.... they're about to be looking at murder evidence. ]

It's a relief to see you two.

[ why ARE we still alive.... someone take us out... hope the murderer set a trap i can die in.... wink wink..... nudge....

anyway, is there anything that stands out immediately? if not, she will look at the fire to see if there isn't anything burning in it. ]

[mygod]

[undread]

[staying close to home this time, are we? well, laudna's leaving the haunted house, so she'll walk towards the cemetery from there. anything stand out?]

[ablazement]

[hello cemetery... wanders towards laudna, though she probably holds out a hand for mathis as they're walking in the direction of it. what stands out!!]

BOARDWALK

[mygod]

[allomantic]

[surely nothing bad happened in this fun place of enjoyment

she relaxes a little when she sees alfyn, even though she's still pretty tense for whatever reason. without a word, she's looking around the area - is there anything immediately out of place about it?]

[concoctive]

[ surely everything terrible happened here.

he looks relieved to see vin, stepping closer to her as they look around. what part are we in, does it matter... can we still see the ferris wheel spinning or has it be yote off at mach fuck? or stopped. we really can't keep doing this to ferris wheels.

are things on fire. ]

SUMMER CAMP

[mygod]

[halved]

[glancing at camille when she spots her so fucking awkwardly because does not know where they stand. but it's fine? it's fine. we really let camille go on a walk with both asa and gale. there's one thought in her head and it's just: this is awkward...

starting from the top, what's immediately visible as they approach the log cabin camp...? are the animals chilling, or do they seem skittish and alarmed?]

CHURCH

[mygod]

[marauderprincess]

[ Anisphia is here and seems to be sparkling in the sunlight as she approaches the Church. Is there anything off about the exterior? Any blood, foot prints, neon signs telling them a body is there? ]
