Third Investigation [Day 12]

[calloperators]

[After the very first investigation, it's almost surreal to not wake up to an explosion, especially when you consider the idea that someone's dead.

Still, you remember the phone call, and between the past two murders there is a very likely chance of death happening once more.

It's morning now, and sure everything seems normal in the motel, but when you start to venture outside, well...

Why don't you investigate?]

Comments

[advancements]

[Oh boy, that sounds promising! Well, since Xander's heading out is there something to note once he leaves the motel?]

[hotlinenpcs]

[So far nothing terrifying! Certainly no buildings on fire, and to a naive eye, it looks like everything's normal!

Wanna go wander the streets for anything off?]

[advancements]

[Of course! That's what he was planning on doing anyway, might as well see if there's anything immediately off anywhere.]

[hotlinenpcs]

[Eventually, Xander will come across something laying in the streets.]

[rangerslayer]

[ Kim's up early as usual. It's time to do some...patrolling? Yeah, patrolling. She's gonna head into town, if nothing stops her. Heading towards...the arcade? The arcade. ]

[hotlinenpcs]

[There is nothing out of the ordinary in the arcade!

...However, as she gets near the arcade, she will find something... or someone laying in the streets]

[rangerslayer]

[ Oh great, lovely, awesome.

Obviously she's going to rush over and see who she can see. Who's lying there? ]

[hotlinenpcs]

[Well then.

You have to see who is the monster behind this, right? Get at it.]

Bowling Alley

[hotlinenpcs]

[Tim is not a bowling ball!]

[conceivesfrenzy]

[ Rather than get any closer to the body, she's gonna go look around the bowling alley for any clues. Anything good to find? ]

[hotlinenpcs]

[There is! As she looks around, Alice will notice a bowling ball near the end of one of the lanes.]

[...Okay so have you ever seen something so horrifically fucked up that it just wraps back around to not being real because those are Michalis' feelings on this corpse. As such, he will be approaching it to get a better look because why not? Why not.

...Ignoring the entirety of the Escher corpse portion of this, what the hell is going on with his face? It looks beaten up, yeah? Like...are we talking "got into a fistfight" or "hit with an object" or what, here.]

[hotlinenpcs]

[It does look like he was hit with something! Namely that he has a black eye.]

[rangerslayer]

[ Ohh my god, okay, so a little...mental recovery later.

Kim's going to look around...the immediate area of the body. Or hell, maybe look back at that trail of red? What's biting here? ]

[hotlinenpcs]

[Well there's the mask you're holding! :D

But other than that, looking at the red trail it's pretty obvious that it's not blood.]

AREA CLEARED

Streets

[hotlinenpcs]

[Oh yeah, there was that weird pillow, wasn't there?]

[advancements]

[Okay cool, he's not dealing with the body, so time to head back out here and check out the weird pillow! What the hell is up with this.]

[hotlinenpcs]

[Good question! It looks like someone dressed up a pillow in shirts and pants.

Red has also been poured over the body. It's almost comical.]

AREA CLEARED

[hotlinenpcs]

Clothing Store

[hotlinenpcs]

[I knew it... the clothes murdered Tim.]

[boxingbuff]

[OKAY.... nobody probably wants Ladd over there, getting his mitts on the dead body. So let's just go somewhere else shall we? The clothing store seems potentially important.

No idea where he should start looking, but he's walking in.]

[hotlinenpcs]

[When Ladd enters the store, he will quickly learn that there's blood everywhere oh god the horror!!!! -

Nah, it looks normal, however if he looks around he'll realize it looks like someone's been rummaging through the clothes recently.]
