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!

[Well, there's a lack of something that should be noticeable. Someone's taken the dirt and plants out of them.]

_{[Alright, that's. A thing. He'll probably talk to the others about what they found in terms of the dirt and stuff. Is there anything about the playground equipment that's off? Or has he and everyone else in the playground found everything that could be found?]}

[whimsicalism]

[Nothing about the equipment but there's something more about the pots we should clarify. He would recognize them from coming from the reception area--also, one of them does have plants.

Someone made an attempt at replanting all of them with a thin layer of dirt. An attempt was made.]

_{[He takes note of that... well, actually, this sounds like a time to start combing the playground to see if any of the other removed plants are scattered about the place. Or if any could have possibly been used as a weapon, as unfeasible as that might be.]}

[whimsicalism]

[It seems that all the missing plants are here. In their sad new home.]

[ Once Kuro hops down from the monkey bars, she heads back toward the entrance. On approach, she actually takes note of the out-of-place pots this time, and... She'd like to make a quick examination of the plants that have been crammed back into one.

Specifically, do any of them have dirt clinging or smudged on the ends of their leaves or flowers—as if they were used to draw in the dirt? ]

[whimsicalism]

[While some of them are definitely are dirtier than others, it's more that someone might have buried a leaf or two while replanting.]
