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!

[ ohhh alright. that's cool. definitely the thing Kuro should be investigating here.

Do we have a visual reference for this or nah? Either way, Kuro will probably... climb up on top of the monkey bars (assuming they're clean of other suspicious activity) and use her vantage point to draw the glyph in her notebook or some such. For reference. ]

[whimsicalism]

[Kuro can certainly do that. We (the mods) will try to send you the image of the symbol before the trial and respond later.

Either way, symbol drawn.]

[ COOL, COOL. Just a couple more quick checks while she's up here, then.

First of all, are there any noticeable knee- or footprints in the dirt, maybe indicating where someone had walked around it to complete the symbol, kneeled at its edges to draw, etc?

Secondly, are there any other noticeable disturbances on the playground that Kuro might spot from her vantage point up here?

Also, when you say "giant glyph", roughly how wide across is it? ]

[whimsicalism]

[There does appear to be some prints but rather indistinct. It's rather large, maybe six feet wide?

It looks like this but doesn't seem like there was enough dirt to finish drawing it.]

[ Okay cool, one last clarification then. When you say that there wasn't enough dirt to finish it, are we saying that the middle circle is done but there wasn't enough space for the side ones? And are the beginnings of those circles at least there? ]

[whimsicalism]

[Yeah. That's right. It's just that big.]
