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.

Perhaps I should just excuse myself from this conversation, Chloe.

[anarchial]

[ sooooo marie excuses herself from conversations she's not into, got it. that's almost elegant. chloe kinda wishes she could take a page from her book once in a while, before all the shit comes out and she has to apologize later. ]

Uh. From me in general or... do you wanna go, you know. Relax somewhere.

[guilloqueen]

[it's very much a trained skill. marie has her tantrums, sure, but she usually handles these things with ease. thank goodness she wasn't summoned as a berserker.]

I'm not opposed to your company! Our current conversation was just getting... a little too personal for me. You understand. But I'd love to relax with you...

[small smile]

My homeslice.

[ UMMMM HER NAME IS MARIE ANTOINETTE.....?

chloe looks a little like something just dawned on her before patting her pockets and looking around. ]

Cool, uh, let's find somewhere with a fireplace. That sounds... nice and relaxing, yeah.

[guilloqueen]

Ah... lead the way? If I'm allowed into your house, that's an option.
