WEEK 1 - INVESTIGATION

[petoskeymods]

INVESTIGATION

When you wake in the morning, you'll find that your illness has mysteriously vanished - of course, that might not be a surprise to you, considering that it vanished around 10pm last night.

And that can only mean one thing - that one of your fellow campers have committed murder.

Someone is dead. It's up to you to find out who...and to gather evidence for it.

BASE EVIDENCE: 9 PIECES
CAMPERS REMAINING: ???


((We ask that there only be 2-3 characters in a thread, please! At least for body finding/gathering evidence, though you're welcome to have characters react to it.

Please remember that The counslors will not be compiling evidence for you! Your characters will either have to physically hold onto evidence, take notes/sketch the scene, or remember details! Evidence will be compiled in headers during the trial.

We have two types of evidence: Base Evidence, which is the absolute minimum you'll need to solve the case - and Extra Evidence, which will help you figure things out easier if you find it. We will always tell you how many pieces there are of base evidence and when you've found all of it through AREA CLEAR comments, but we will not tell you how many pieces of extra evidence remain until you've found them all.))

REC ROOM

[trashmouthtozier]

[bodies? nope nope nope. after almost suffocating to death last night, the last thing Richie wants is to run around investigating a murder. everyone else can buy into that, but why? they're not being ordered to. you can't pay him to go near a dead body. so he's just going to camp himself on the couch - BECAUSE IT'S STILL CAMP - and try to figure out the Wii]

.... heh. Is this seriously called a Wii?

[you guys have fun with all that grisly shit, he's gonna be what he is: a goddamn teenager. once the shock has worn off, and curiosity really sets in, he'll go see what the hell happened, but right now he is so not dealing with this]

MESS HALL

[petoskeymods]

KITCHEN

[petoskeymods]

[seekingsunrise]

[Okay he's still damp and he might have forgotten key components of his outfit, like socks and a shirt. But people were screaming so he came running. There's obvious crowds in the kitchen and the "church" area but...

Anything of note in the mess hall proper?]

AREA CLEAR

[petoskeymods]

OUTSIDE

[petoskeymods]

[This is meant for Extra Evidence searching! Please put the location you're trying to search in the subject of your post.]

[seekingsunrise]

[Trudging straight to the bathrooms for a shower this morning. Everyone else feels better but this poor kid has so much heat exhaustion.

And he's crusty with aloe. Delightful. ]

Lake (Firepit Area)

[soylentprotag]

[So, what's the best place to dispose of a body?

... Though it's not like they have a great way to dredge the lake, you know what, we're going with this. Also great for staring broodily into the distance. But first we're going to check out the firepit, because guess what's another great way to dispose of evidence? Granted, how anyone would have had a fire going by themselves is anyone's guess.]

Canoe Shack

[finalguard]

[ Someone is dead. All night they've known this but also not really wanted to confirm it. Now it's light outside and there's a chance to find out what is happening.

Boa figures that one of the likeliest locations for an act of violence would be by the lake - people are not inclined to go canoeing thanks to the lake cat and it's far off from either the cabins or the RV area - and thus potential witnesses.

If you wanted to kill someone, you'd probably do it there.

Oblivious to commotion elsewhere, Boa will peek inside the shack. ]

[yunolikebugs]

[Gonta is no longer acting like a wild animal. Thank god.

However, since everyone suddenly got better, Gonta is now on high alert for strange evidence. Killing game experience comes in handy, though he never got used to the investigation part...

Gonta decides to go into the clearing first and check the few benches that are there before moving on.]

Around the lodge

[le_mat]

[He doesn't want to crowd the church... so Ren stays outside, pushing down something like rage. He will do what he can, he has to.

So he stands outside the lodge, closes his eyes... and opens his Third Eye. It had lead him to the lodge before, maybe it can lead him again.

[homeecspacecop]

[Chuuta and Lenka split up pretty quickly after the screaming started, both of them leaving the lakeshore and heading back up to the clearing. When Lenka went down to the canoes, Chuuta is going the other direction, towards the grassy field.]

Cabin Area

[lovebun]

[ Usagi is later getting up than everyone else. She'll yawn, and head outside, then blink. Wait no one was in, so she's going to poke around outside the cabins. ]

Where is everyone? Don't tell me they ate breakfast and didn't leave me anything...

ALL EXTRA EVIDENCE CLEAR

[petoskeymods]

BODY ANNOUNCEMENT + EVIDENCE DISCUSSION

[petoskeymods]

[IF you want to talk about the body or the evidence, do it here! For some odd reason, the counselors are in their rooms and won't come out....]

[yunolikebugs]

[Everyone was gathered around the body, so after setting the golf club against an unused pew, Gonta will try banging on the counselors' doors and warning them.]

STAN! RED! PASTOR DAN DIED!!!

[Bang, bang, bang.]

[stingingremarks]

Everyone, there's no more need to investigate. I found the body, and it was just a statue. Everything is fake, and it was just Dan anyway so like, who even cares. Case closed!

[diesifkilled]

[Shirou's coming in with a cutting board that's got some plant bits on it. And everything smells like mice.]

It looks like someone served him poisoned tea.

[Oh no how terrible, the priest is dead. Alas.]

[kitchen_witch]

[Lillith will go outside, to get sick - don't mind her, she'll return not long after, looking as white as a sheet]

[finalguard]

[ Well, if you were anywhere next to the mess hall, you might have seen Boa vomit his guts out while leaning against the wall. It's... it's not a fun sight.

After that is done, he makes a very shaky way over to the bathrooms to wash his face off a bit.

So then finally, you can find him just sitting on the floor in front of the bathrooms looking like absolute hell.

If you wanna ask him what's up, maybe you'll hear something about rock brains. ]

[velocirainbow]

[ Once Talcott is taken care of and resting, Cielo can just... be found sorta pacing by Cabin 3, looking kinda like a guard dog and very out of sorts. ]

Oh, brudda...

[killtheanimals]

[Mitsuru comes bearing gifts!

One is Dan's finger, wrapped in a towel. Less distressingly is a nice aerial sketch of the chapel layout, drawn in his handmade booklet.]

Here's what I was able to collect from the chapel. That man wasn't human, but... [And here, his brow furrows.]

...He wasn't a golem, either.
