THE FIRST INVESTIGATION

[As Friday morning dawns, everything is quiet. Serene, even. It's been almost two weeks since the beginning of their stay here, and the time to fulfill the Commander's ultimatum offer is almost up. It seems that no one's taken her up on the offer, so far.

Maybe the lack of murder will continue, as everyone starts to go about their day....but there's only one way to find out.

Let's go about our normal routine, shall we?]

1ST FLOOR HALLWAY

[strangerpeople]

[beguiledcard]

[ After taking a moment to himself, he will eventually make his way out here...

What will he be able to see first? ]

[tiefleaf]

[ You know what, Molly is just gonna... hang around here. ]

I'm honestly not sure if we should be surprised or not.

[ It has been TWO WEEKS, people, chill the fuck out. ]

[beguiledcard]

[ That gets a wry smirk from Akira. ]

Eventually...? Surprise is the last thing you feel, on Fridays.

[tiefleaf]

...okay, see, the fact that you're telling me it's always on Fridays for some reason just raises further questions.

[beguiledcard]

[ He tilts his head a bit, twisting a strand of hair. ]

For some, it wound up being about making a deadline...

[ Akira runs a hand over his face. ]

Even this one had to happen before the end of the week, according to her "incentive" announcement.

[tiefleaf]

Okay, but like... what about Tuesday?

[ HE'S NOT DONE HERE ]

Do these things just sorta happen like that, or... I'm asking because there's no reason someone can't be possessing all of you and going all "hahahaha, now my ridiculously circuitous Friday murder plan is complete!"

[beguiledcard]

[ He does nod at that, actually. ]

Yeah, Tuesday was... the exact same day that they did it on...

[ Akira's just going to lean his head a bit more heavily against the wall at that, now. Though his gaze is still shifting around them, quietly searching for anything that might read as suspicious... ]

Guess it's something to look into.

[tiefleaf]

[ ...well, fuck. Know what, Molly doesn't know what exactly to say to that.

He'll just

look around. Anything of interest? ]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[For starters, there is a trail of glitter going from the hallway to the women's bathroom.]

[beguiledcard]

[ Click.

After that picture is taken, he'll... head over to the women's restroom? Anything else around here? ]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[Oh boy! There's blood stains outside the women's bathroom!]

[beguiledcard]

[ Click...

How do the blood stains look? Is there any kind of pattern to them? ]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[The wall and doorframe appears to have absorbed the blood some. Not to mention that it does look a bit faded.]

[beguiledcard]

[ Just... going to study that pattern for a while...

Is he all clear to move on? ]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[The pattern itself looks like something smooth as it's moving along. No clumps or anything besides where they stop at as mentioned.

Other than that, this room is clear! If you have any questions, let us know!]

[backuphero]

[He was just kind of following Akira, but broke off and headed over towards the elevators. He's not getting on them, though. If he looks around the both of them... is anything noticeably amiss or out of place on either one?]

[strangerpeople]

[Nothing on the elevators!]

[backuphero]

[Well, in that case, he's heading back upstairs....]
