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!

[WELP she still feels warm, or at least warmer than he does, but not as warm as someone alive would be.

On the off chance that she just somehow is chilled from bloodloss he double checks pulse and breath but it's not with much hope, so when hes sure shes definitely absolutely dead it's not a shock even if it is a blow. But, while he does, he does keep an eye out for any obvious wounds that might have caused all that blood loss.]

[Well. Well, okay then. It's surprising, but he's gathering himself again quickly enough.]

So she's really...?

[bellabellabella]

[His voice is low and terse. He's angry, and feels like he is slowly coming awake. If he had his normal abilities, maybe he could have prevented this.]

Yes. She's dead.

[cellpreservation]

[Cool, that's just

great.

He casts a look around, at the group pulling Anya away from the scene, at others hurrying to check out the other locations for clues. This sure is actually happening.]

...Yasu said the body should have at least two guards to make sure nobody messes with it. If you want to check the body, I'll keep watch.

[bellabellabella]

[He lets out a short, harsh bark of laughter that includes no humor.]

Yes, I suppose that unless the principal has decided to act more directly than he has so far, there is someone here who should not be trusted.

[cellpreservation]

He wouldn't make it that easy. We'll just have to figure it out ourselves.

[bellabellabella]

I'm not sure if he wouldn't, but from everything that has happened so far its possible that he can't. But we certainly will, now that this has happened. You do remember the second part of Rule 11, don't you?

[cellpreservation]

If this motive didn't work, he'd just have to keep pushing until we did. And besides that...

All of us already hate him. It isn't a big surprise if he turns around and kills one of us. But one of us killing someone else...

[This... is not going to be pretty.]

...Yeah. We can't let them get away with it if we want to live.
