THE FIRST INVESTIGATION

[Good Friday morning, everyone!

Ah, the sun is shini--no.

Well, the birds are singi--....no...

It's time to take a shower and--...oh.

It's...the bats are...cute....?




Ok, it's a dreary and miserable morning and everyone is annoyed that they are here and there's an infestation of spiders and creepy happenings and the Stewards are jerks and no one likes this place, ever. Fine. Be that way. So.

What is everyone doing?]

Comments

[Eric has got a proper spear with him today, the weapon he's always carried, courtesy of Franciscus' luck with paper spider prize roulette. If anyone took the bait and is willing to attack again, he'll be ready.

If there's nothing immediately visible outside the bedrooms, well. The servants' quarters are evidently cursed, but they're close, so he'll head there first.

Is there more blood? Maybe not in a bottle this time?]

[Jun is in the arena, leaving the dragon staff where he saw other people leave stuff.]

[even though he had a fairly interesting night, it doesn't stop the day from coming. Osomatsu wanders out of a room that isn't his. don't worry, nothing too eventful happened. he's still clothed, rubbing his eyes as he steps out into the hallway, quite possibly to check on the others]

[Franciscus is actually looking quite cheerful as he leaves his room. Nothing seems immediately wrong...he's going to head towards the gardens with Hydrangea in tow.]

INVESTIGATION START

[strangerpeople]

[Upon the discovery of the body, a cadre of bats suddenly descend on everyone.

No worries, though. They will not harm you. Instead, they will be dropping off scrolls to each and every one of you. They glow with a strange aura, and clearly have a magic to them.

The Elder Steward's voice echoes through the webs that are strewn throughout the Mansion.]

My, my. The Ursa has been cruelly taken from this world. It appears one of you is a murderer.

Now, you shall find that these scrolls are different from those you have been given before. These scrolls are capable of retaining and sending information you have written or drawn on it to anyone else who possesses one. Ink is not required; using your fingers will suffice.

Now. I suggest you start looking for clues that will aid you in avenging that poor girl. And I do suggest you start now.

The clock is ticking.

[Everyone, as if on cue, begins to hear a ticking in their minds. It will not go away until they have found everything needing to be found - or until time runs out.]

BANG-SITTING

[whiterosefoes]

[because why not take a good excuse to not investigate as a mod player character

Harriet is just sitting here, on promised duty and seething once she hears there was a body and it was Akko of all people. Her nose has been in her magic scroll thing the entire time, waiting impatiently for updates.]
