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!

Uh! W- wait! Stop crying, I don't want Dewey to know-!

[spychic]

Everyone needs to know--!! THIS IS A PROBLEM!!!

[why is she so worried about him knowing. she doesn't get it at all]

[canreallymove]

[whispers to Reika]

C'mon, man, we need to get her out of here.

[noblesnow]

[Reika nods. Time to carry Anya away! Very carefully. Have to keep her pointed away from the death.]

[spychic]

[Anya can barely look at Reika or Sonic, but she's grateful. She's shivering a bit in Reika's arms. For all her spy grandstanding - her knives, her spy-tools, her adoration for her Papa and her Mama...

This is the first time Anya's ever seen anyone actually die.
And it's scary. It's like they're sleeping, but they're not. They're gone. You can tell. She wants to just try to talk to her, to tell her to wake up, please, she'll help her, she really will...

But she can't. She'll never know what she thinks of Spy Wars or how she'd feel if she knew anything more about her. She hardly knew her at all.

It's all that that goes with her. It's everything.

And that's what makes Anya really shatter. It's losing more than a person. It's losing words. Feelings. Experiences. And her family probably doesn't even know.

And she could've been watching a movie with her yesterday. They were in the same room.
Maybe if she were better, maybe if she tried to help people get along more, maybe...


It hurts.]

[canreallymove]

C'mon kid. You don't need to see this.

[Sonic's voice tries to be strong, but his sagged shoulders betray his own true feelings.

Someone killed. Someone murdered. This was wrong. This was all wrong.]

We got this, Anya. Don't worry.

[It feels hollow even as he says it, lets Reika take Anya.]
