FIRST INVESTIGATION

[whimsicalism]

INVESTIGATION

Reactions to the Principal’s last announcement Tuesday were certainly mixed. Can the Principal do as he says and bring a dangerous threat from everyone’s homes, eager for revenge? Whether he can or he can’t, a student who believed it to be possible could have easily taken him up on his offer and turned on another classmate. Of course, it could all be a lie–a story to scare children into behaving themselves. But can everyone take that risk?

With no weekend class events scheduled, Friday is perhaps the highlight of the school week. Just one more day, and it will be the weekend! Fun, friends, and excitement await!

… If only that excitement could carry over into Friday morning at Ira Academy. As students go about their mornings, they may drift into various areas of the school. It’s early enough that classes haven’t started yet.

What will you investigate?

HOW IT WORKS

While most folks have likely been through this song and dance before, here's a quick breakdown of how investigation runs at Castle W:

1. Post with your character indicating the area they're visiting this morning.
2. The mod journal will reply letting you know if the area is normal, if something might be a little off and you'll want to check back later, or if something's VERY off.
3. Once the something VERY has been uncovered, the discovery will be announced, and mods will post a comment highlighting the areas of the school that have clues and toplevels for these areas.
4. Tag into the toplevels for these areas if you'd like your character to look for clues there.

Have fun!

[Anya will be heading to the music room. Anything here?]

[whimsicalism]

[Nope, the music room is clear. Say hello to A for good luck, though.]

[canismajorcontrolfreak]

[Okay, so Dylan may have...gotten a little distracted. Yesterday. And not properly set up meeting stuff to talk about the threats that could be put into the school. BUT!! It is something still on his mind, and he will not forget again!

So, first things first, prepare invites to the meeting. He will go for the school store, so long as nothing stands in his way.]

[whimsicalism]

[He might notice a few things on his way there but that can be saved for later. The school store is clear.]

KITCHEN

[canreallymove]

[Uuuuuuuuugh.

Movie night was cool, but it's time to up and at 'em. Time to make some breakfast for people. And himself, Obviously.]

[whimsicalism]

[Something weird is in the kitchen but that can be saved for later.]

Yasu > Kitchen

[keyringwitness]

[Yasu has learned to get up bright and early to make sure that she gets to eat a meal before Valmont demands that she make his breakfast, so her first stop is the kitchen to scrounge up some quick grub.]

Re: Yasu > Kitchen

[whimsicalism]

[Say hi to Sonic! There is something off about the kitchen but you can come back later.]

Gym

[violence_ensues]

[Adorabat will flutter her way over to the Gym for some early exercises and quick training before classes.]

[whimsicalism]

[There's.... something you might want to check first, Adorabat.]

[copycut]

[ Kuro's going to go do what any 11-year-old would: have fun on the playground! ]

[whimsicalism]

[Huh, something funky is up on the playground and I'm not just talking about the congregation here.... but still not enough that you found a (dead) body. Aside from the vampire.]

[shinedsobright]

[Is she still having fun when there is a scream]

[noblesnow]

[Reika's going to be our sanity test (...maybe she's not the best for that job...) and check whether anything's funky in the dormitory so we aren't all just casually ignoring a five body pileup outside our rooms or something.]

[whimsicalism]

[No huge pile up here, go ahead and look in peace.]

[shinedsobright]

[Let's get some fresh morning air at the Playground]

[whimsicalism]

[You've found Edward, Kuro, and Dewey here. They're all moving so fortunately, even as weird as this area is, it's not the location.]

[bellabellabella]

[He has taken to going outside in the morning sometimes, and at other odd hours, so Edward is on the playground. Something had felt odd when he'd been venturing out with Sonic, and he's been trying to figure it out!]

[whimsicalism]

[Congratulations, you're currently the only dead person on the playground. Say hey to the others here.]

[panglici]

[Carrie's going to head to the cafeteria - yes, the kitchen is in there, but... not going to go about trying to get breakfast just yet.]

[whimsicalism]

[Looks like this area is clear, Carrie.]

[lets_dewey_it]

_{[Dewey made his way from his dorm to the Playground. After bringing up those self-defense lessons with Sonic, he was going to practice being a leader...]}

[whimsicalism]

[Fortunately, the only cold person in this area is Edward. Practice away, Dewey.]

[whimsicalism]

[The speakers screech on. The voice of the Principal can be heard. The sheep pause what they're doing to help sign the speech.]

Well, well, well. Isn't that just peachy? The Owlette is dead. I'll call everyone once I think you've done enough poking around. Just get going, already!

[lets_dewey_it]

<sub>[...oh no.

Oh no oh no oh no.

No no no NO NO!]</sub>

W-What...?! _{[Whatever prepwork he was doing, whatever speeches for self-defense class he was thinking of, they immediately faded from his mind as he heard that announcement.]}

Gym

[whimsicalism]

[Shh, she's sleeping.]

[violence_ensues]

[Well... Adorabat's already in the gym. There's no police tape around, so she can't exactly set that up, so she'll just go straight to the investigating. She looks around the room. Is there anything suspicious?]

Hallway

[whimsicalism]

[Oops.]

[holyironmade]

Luz?

[Jeanne is much later than the others. She has put on the bare minimum pieces of her personal outfit, which goes as far as coming out barefoot with hair loose, and is now running purposely through the hallways, hands cupped around her mouth.]

LUZ!!!

[Shamash can barely keep up with her.]

Playground

[whimsicalism]

[It's all fun and games until...]

Re: Playground

[lets_dewey_it]

_{[WELL! Now'a the time he scours the playground for suspicious stuff! Anything by the fence?]}

Kitchen

[whimsicalism]

[What's cooking, good looking?]

[keyringwitness]

[Remember that weird thing that Yasu noticed in the kitchen? She immediately bolts to investigate (since she doesn't have the constitution at the moment to investigate the body oh god). What was the thing that first pinged her sense that something was off?]
