WEEK 5 - INVESTIGATION

[petoskeymods]

INVESTIGATION

As you wake up, nothing seems different - beyond that you don't seem quite as worried about your secrets being exposed anymore. And that, just like all the times before, means only 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: 10 PIECES
CAMPERS REMAINING: ???


((We ask that you remain in groups of 2-3! As per usual.))

[ Floe was still in the area after taking her shower and peeking into cabin 4, so she's in the perfect spot to see Chuuta go running into the bathroom. That...doesn't look good, considering what day it is? Screw this whole "boy side and girl side" thing, she's following him in with no hesitation. ]

Chuuta?? Hey, what's going on in here- ?

[homeecspacecop]

[He freezes as soon as he runs through the door and sees Ren.]

Wh-... [They're here too. Someone's already here. And someone's coming behind him. Chuuta turns, and runs again. Sorry Floe, if he has to knock you over in order to get out of here he will.

And if Floe doesn't stop him, he's heading for Cabin 4.]

[le_mat]

Chuuta, wait-!

[love_seriously]

[ "if Floe doesn't stop him" you literally told me to tag this, what do you even think she's here for. SHE WILL. ATTEMPT. to grab his arm before he can bolt, and also give Ren a look over his shoulder like wtf did you do. ]

Hey, wait a minute! What happened, did you...did you find...

[homeecspacecop]

[And grabbed!

Oh hey, there's Drew. Drew isn't in friendly marshmallow mode, he's in sharp-fanged and glittering blue mode, angry and defensive. But he doesn't attack Floe, and Chuuta stops when Floe grabs him.]

I... I didn't kill her. I didn't.

[le_mat]

[Ren just gives Floe a helpless look- hands up and harmless as posisble. And showing his half grown rock fingers since Chuuta showed up as he was cleaning them]

We don't think that, Chuuta- and we're not going to hurt either of you, right Floe?

[love_seriously]

Of course we're not! [ DREW PLS...she'll let go as long as he's not gonna make a break for it, but she's gonna frown about it. ]

Just...tell us what happened?

[homeecspacecop]

[They aren't going to listen. They don't care. Anything like "friendship" or even just friendly smiles here just falls completely apart under the slightest suspicion.

He's quiet for a long moment, not looking at either of them. Drew settles down, but he's still watching both of them with fangs bared.

Eventually...]

We found Usagi-chan's head in the freezer.

[le_mat]

Fucking hell...

Here, come on, let's sit.

[like, against the wall or something]

[love_seriously]

Her head-?!

[ That's. Fucking horrible. What the fuck. Usagi? Miss-sunshine-and-love-and bunnies Usagi? Her head. Her HEAD in the FREEZER. ]

Chuuta...

[homeecspacecop]

I didn't do it. [He says, as he lets Ren lead him wherever.]

They think I killed her. [And that's what breaks the dam, that's what breaks him down into a sobbing mess.]

They really think I killed her!

[The evidence points to you.]

Shut up, Drew!

[le_mat]

[he leads them outside so they don't have to sit on the gross bathroom floor]

Chuuta... you, you could never do something like that. I don't buy it for a second.

[love_seriously]

You couldn't do it...there's no way you could. No way...

[ She's mostly repeating after Ren, but there's something numb in her voice...because she'd said the same thing about Lance, too, hadn't she. ]

[homeecspacecop]

I...

Wait. Last night. I...

[We don't have an alibi, Chuuta.]

Yes we do, I was with Lenka until...

[We don't have an alibi.]

But I didn't do it!

[le_mat]

Shhh... Drew, whatever you're saying isn't helping. We're gonna find out the truth tomorrow. No one is going to rush into anything.

[love_seriously]

[ Grabbing Chuuta's hands impulsively, defensive Drew or not. ]

If you didn't do it then we'll find who did. We always have! We always will! Nobody's gonna get away with something like this!

[ Slightly desperate. He didn't do it. He surely didn't do it. ]

[homeecspacecop]

[Hand grabbing is okay, and Drew doesn't make a move to attack her.

Chuuta doesn't even react to being grabbed by a cute girl.]

Everyone's already saying I did it. They really think I killed her.

[le_mat]

Well, I'm not. And Floe's not. So already that's not everyone.

[love_seriously]

That's right! We'll find the real person who did it. We will.

Ren, can't you...can't you just look at him and see that he didn't do it? You're always finding evidence like that...

[ USE YOUR PLOT CONVENIENCE POWERS, RENREN ]

[homeecspacecop]

They won't even look. They've already decided it was me. [Sorry, he's a little bit in shock right now.]

[le_mat]

Who did?

[That doesn't sound like a lot of people in this group, so it has to be a Specific Someone]

[love_seriously]

Whoever it is, we'll make them look. They don't get to just say it's so.

[homeecspacecop]

[Who?

For once, Chuuta doesn't say anything. If he says something, he'll sound like he's accusing them. And he'd thought... he'd thought that Richie was his friend.]
