week 1 — investigation

[mcmurderer]

The ticking of the grandfather clocks in each house draws louder and louder — soon, the ticking turns into a defining gong. Characters are stricken from their beds with the noise, allowing them to venture out.

Despite the frantic nature of getting out of their homes, upon exit out into the Abode, they'll see something unlike their arrival — the celebration seems to be over. Ribbons and streamers ripped from the lamposts, oversized candies were pushed into the river, wrapped presents were smashed and torn astray.

It looks like someone was not having a good unbirthday?

Shall you explore?

NOTE: Anyone in the House of Clubs (Foxes and Butterflies) and House of Spades (Snakes and Sheep), please do not reply to anything immediately. You have presents.

Welcome to the Investigation Log! To streamline things, I am listing locations and a cap of investigation slots. Please choose only one for now! I'll announce on Plurk if we need people in other areas. For the sake of setting — please have characters enter without getting too far into a building.

post dead o'clock, outside....the market...

[anarchial]

[ chloe has no idea what went on here, she just thought it'd be the easiest place to round up people

because the house with her bed is closest to it

because she is gonna take a long, hard nap soon. ]

Alright, someone messed with the axes in the pink vomit house, and they're not exactly clean. You get me? So... Raise your hand if you found a head. Or... anything else, I guess, there was weird shit in the bathroom at the totally-not-a-hookah-bar-but actually-a-hookah bar... hookah bar.

[tocked]

[ she's quiet, but then raises her head at the mention of the bathroom. ]

We were in the bathroom a few days ago. [ SHE PROCEEDS TO NOT ELABORATE, and just moves on. ] There were a footprints leading to the water near the water. And... a really big pool of blood.

[gedanzuki]

[ Here's Daddison Ford— Kojuro, with his oversized aloe leaf. ]

Someone went to the greenhouse and took a leaf from this particular plant, like this one. It's... Rather messy. The plants have the likenesses of people.

[ But not a dead body, I guess that's good. ]

[kanshisha]

[ He says nothing at first, just sort of raises his hands which are covered in frosting and red stuff?? He doesn't know if its blood or cake decorations but-- ]

I found him, Akira-- his head, at least. Over there.

[ He kind of just nods, in the direction of the market behind him. ]

[guilloqueen]

[marie is still very shaken, so she doesn't say anything. she just raises her hand, her head lowered.]
