INVESTIGATION I

[lesmodsalouette]

Investigation

Psst. Were you enjoying your peaceful, sleepy spring morning, blanketed in magic and mystery? Alas, the times they are a-changin’ – that is to say, everyone will get a rude wake-up call from a sleep they may not remember falling into at precisely 8 o’clock AM on the dot, every single grandfather clock clanging out the hour once again. It’s truly a grand and terrible orchestra, made perhaps just a bit worse by the state some of you may be waking up in.

Now, is this better or worse than your last magical wake-up?

Only time will tell.

(( OOC: Comment to this entry with where your character is going in the morning. A mod response will let you know if there’s anything to be found there! The Investigation is a free-for-all until all bodies have been found.

Once the victim(s) have been identified, there will be an IC announcement, and mods will provide Investigation sub-headers for the relevant locations and up to three characters are welcome to investigate under each header unless indicated otherwise. ))

[ ayaka doesn’t remember sleeping, but when she wakes up in the theater’s backstage, she does so with a weight on her chest. opening her eyes, she sees the culprit—

cardboard cutouts on top of her?

she’s going to shove them off of herself, looking around the area. when did she fall asleep and who the hell put that on her?

and, most importantly: ]

Sabo!? Saber!? Are you guys okay!?

[Ayaka will see flames.

On top of her, that is. They're painted flames on a fiery backdrop. There are also two lit candles next to her, as though adding to the atmosphere. Very important.

Her shoving means that the stage prop and a couple of other cardboard props cascade off her with loud THUMPS. She can't see her companions...]

[ It takes a second for Richard to wake up, but he can feel something pressed against him, which after a quick second he identifies as the curtain set on top of him and the third party in the space.

He sits up, pushing it off of him, when he hear's Ayaka calling for them. ]

Ayaka! Are you okay?

[ He is shooting straight up and heading straight for her with little regard for Sabo lol. What else is going on backstage on the way there... ]

[simulacres]

I’m fine but what the hell happened!? I don’t remember falling asleep but I woke up to a bunch of stuff on top of me. Are you okay?

[ she looks at the lit candles uneasily, and then at richard. from his expression it’s obvious that he had nothing to do with it, and that’s even more unsettling.

she looks around, what else can she see aside from the candles? are the cutouts still in good quality, too? ]

[As Richard moves out from under the curtain, it's pretty messy onstage with all of that and the instruments and so on... But that's a problem for another investigative time!

It looks like backstage is just as messy, though most of it is props and Ayaka.]

[ they get stuck in an infinite loop of "are you ok." the game continues on without interruption. ]

I seem to be all right. Sabo and I woke up with the curtain on top of us, but otherwise uninjured.

[ As far as he knows. He didn't notice the dolls or ask Sabo. lol. ]

I doubt it was a mere coincidence.

not here

[ IT'S FINE.

HE HAS NEW ""FRIENDS"" NOW.... ]
