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!

You - you sit with her - you haven't seen Jeanne yet today, have you?!

[Accosting a nearby person because she just did a quick headcount and realized they aren't all here, this kid?

That shouldn't be a surprise.]

[britbrat]

[ Valmont's immediate instinct is to brush Carrie off - you don't get to talk to him like that, peasant - but. Jeanne.

Damn. ]

...I haven't.

[ That might be the least snarky response he's given to any question since arriving here! ]

Shall I send Yasu to check her room?

[panglici]

I don't think any of us should be going anywhere alone right now. I'll go with her, if you'd rather not accompany me yourself.

[Want to check out the hallway on the way?]

[britbrat]

True. It would be a shame to lose our only maid to an overzealous murderer.

[ A classmate is expendable. A good servant isn't. ]

Very well, I suppose I can accompany you. I've got to change into something more presentable anyway.

[ Also, the sooner he can be in not the same room as a literal dead body, the better. ]

After you, then.

[ Definitely not because he's planning to use her as a human shield if the worst happens!! Don't worry about it. ]

[panglici]

[She rolls her eyes at the talk of Yasu being the only maid, and sighs at the frosty "after you", and then -

Jeanne is shouting Luz's name.]

Come on, move!

[Congrats, Valmont, you got Carrie to hold your hand, sort of. She's just grabbing his wrist and taking off.]

[britbrat]

[ I mean, do you see any other maids around here??

But, yeah, okay, there they go, wrist in hand. It's a mark of the seriousness of the situation that Valmont doesn't even complain about getting poor people germs on him. ]
