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. ))

[What a rude awakening the clocks give, especially since the ballroom isn’t actually known for having a soft floor. He chose this, but still! Rude.]

I suppose that’s the cue to get moving, hm?

[Eventually Break gets himself moving to leave the Ballroom, towards the Theater, so he can get to the stairs.]

[lesmodsalouette]

[ This leads him through the Promenade of Reflexion and... oh boy. This one looks like a real mess. There's also a person on the floor. So. That's fine, surely? ]

[whileaway]

[hey mods, what’s the smell like when when Break walks through the door. Is the mess blood or…]

[lesmodsalouette]

[ The smell is pretty normal in here! Old castle smell!

The mess is... a whole lot of glass shards. Please watch your delicate little feetsies. ]

[Well, the crunch from the glass will be very satisfying to listen to, as he walks across the room and potentially to the lump of …something on the floor. It wasn’t here last time he wandered by.

Is there a breeze? Maybe the glass is from windows…]

[lesmodsalouette]

[ There is no breeze!

And the lump of someone is... stirring. It's Chu Wenshan, looking sleepy. ]

[whileaway]

[The glass everywhere is still concerning, but at least he didn’t get to be the one to literally trip on a dead body. This one is still breathing]

[From behind:]/small>

It would seem we didn't pick the worst place to fall asleep, comparatively.

[Huh, what's going on with all this glass...]

[dumbface]

[ maybe next time??

he's pretty sleepy when he gets up, and doesn't actually get off of the floor... lazy... priorities, tho: ]

Did I miss breakfast?

[whileaway]

[after the nice announcement they’ve had….]

You’ve missed quite a lot, but I don’t think breakfast is one of them.

[dumbface]

[ yeah. yeah, that guy sure is loud. is that supposed to be witch? sounds kinda different.

chu wenshan takes a look at the glass and gets up, brushing himself off. ]

Guess so. [ rubbing the back of his head. ] What even happened?

[oncefallen]

Mmm... good morning. It seems they wanted to be sure we didn't oversleep.

[Why? Who knows.

Oh, his millennia-old back... this sucks.]

[breaking news: old white haired men agree the human spine was a terrible idea]
