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!

[He hates this. He hates this he hates this OH MY DOG DOES HE HATE THIS!

But...someone is dead. Luz is dead when she didn't deserve it. And now they need to figure things out.

So. First things first, since no one else can, Dylan will...do something he'll probably regret.

Take a big sniff in this area.

Any notable scents...other than the blood?]

[whimsicalism]

[Sadly, no. Just Luz. The scent of blood is overwhelming.]

CW: Emeto

[canismajorcontrolfreak]

[Absolutely gagging once it registers.]

Oh my dog-

[He swallows down any bile before it can come out. This is horrible. This is one of the worst things he could experience. It is terrible. Awful. Horrible. No good. Very bad.

And he knows it's about to get worse.

He goes up to Luz's corpse, next to Edward.

Anything immediately off he can notice?]

[whimsicalism]

[Since he's looking for it... Dylan, you probably know how humans usually wear their shoes, right?

Something is off about Luz's feet.]

[canismajorcontrolfreak]

[For the most part, yes.

Are they on the wrong feet? Is she missing a shoe?]

[whimsicalism]

[She doesn't seem to have put them on well? They seem kind of a mess, actually. One of them is practically hanging off her foot.]

[canismajorcontrolfreak]

[That's...probably wrong, right? Yeah, it's wrong. Humans want their shoes on secure and stuff, since their feet are so sensitive.

Anything else immediately of note? Any visible minor injuries? Weird clothing? Some other third thing?]

[whimsicalism]

[Edward seems to have gotten more about the body right now.]

[canismajorcontrolfreak]

[Alright, he seems. Professional, about things.

...he's so cool...

BACK TO THE POINT-is there anything else around the gym he should note? Other than the sad, sad confetti.]

[whimsicalism]

[Nope, just sad sad confetti.]

[canismajorcontrolfreak]

[Well, this still feels relevant, so he'll be collecting some papers he can show later. Any of the symbols stand out?]

[whimsicalism]

[Not in particular, no.]

[canismajorcontrolfreak]

[Dang, he was hoping there'd be a pattern or something.

He'll still collect a good number of of symbols, scanning each one, just in case.]
