THE THIRD INVESTIGATION
[It is very early. Very, very early. It's still night, even. Most are probably still asleep.
They will not be asleep for long.
Not after the screaming suddenly starts coming from the voices outside their doors, if they are in the apartment car, in their rooms.]
Oh god oh god oh god-
B____R! FOOT IN MY MOUTH INDEED!
[And certainly not after the big
That suddenly rocks the train. There is screeching, moaning, and a flash of great darkness. Everyone, for a moment, is blinded by blackness. There are shouts and screams that echo, no matter where one is. Smoke and begins to fill the hall of the apartment car.
Whatever has happened-it's bad. It's very bad.
And the darkness is starting to clear up...]

Something long, lean, and human-shaped.]

Sorry Ris he's leaving your hold to rush to this so.ething's side. Is this a person? If so, please be breathing...]
no subject
Minato—
[She's rushing back toward the door to call into the dining car, as loudly as she can.
We found something! Please, come help!
[If someone else attends to this, maybe she can get Minato to continue on...]

Zack Foster, the Watchful, is dead.]

She looks exhausted and frustrated and ready to cry, so, you know. General mood of everyone who isn't dead right about now.]
no subject
C'mon ... maybe we can see if Caleb can get him to move ...
[ He'll glance over at Caleb as he says that ]
no subject
Ris lets go of Minato's sleeve, wrapping her arms loosely around Mithos' waist and dropping her forehead against his shoulder tiredly.
For a day that just started, it sure is long already.]
no subject
Mithos will lean his head towards Ris' when she sets her's against his shoulder.
They can just stay like this until Ris is ready to pull away it's fine. Mithos can investigate after Ris feels better. ]
no subject
Caleb...?
no subject
... Go and clean yourself up before you start investigating. Trying to focus with vomit in your mouth will not help matters.
no subject
Minato, other people are coming. They'll find out what we need to. You're sick, we need to get you help—
[This is probably some pretty useless tugging, huh.]
no subject
[It small. Quiet. No one would be blamed if they didn’t hear it.
But he speaks again, louder, punching the nearest wall to punctuate it.]
Damn it, no!
no subject
No words, just... ever seen someone drop a marionette so the strings all tangle? Yeah, she's close to that level of limp with unsettlingly angled limbs. Hasn't fainted, but... looks like it was a near thing.]
no subject
[Two kids are dead and he could do nothing to save them...
He almost doesn’t notice Charlotte, so caught up in his whirlwind of self-deprecation. Key word being almost. He glances over at her and slowly gets to her side, hugging her.]
We’ll...we’ll figure this out. I promise. We will get justice for them.
[Half of him is trying to comfort her, while the other half is trying to convince himself. He hates this, God he hates this.]
no subject
[She's hugging him back as though she's not sure he'll stay real when she lets go. Her voice, while muffled and tiny, is oddly steady given that. Steady and exhausted and bleak. (Oh my.)]
no subject
The kind we know of.
[His own voice is sort of similar. Like he's about to scream, but also reassuring. Stressed, but soothing.
They're going to figure this out. No matter what.]
no subject
What’s going on?!
[Running in because WHYYYYYYYYY]
