❥ INVESTIGATION À LA REVUE (Volume II)

[stalledrevolution]

INVESTIGATION

EXTRA! EXTRA!

SCENE: Everywhere throughout the inverted tower, from crypt to chapel

Once the clock strikes six in the morning, at the first sign of light, the sound of church bells rings throughout the tower, announcing either a wedding or funeral.

Across every window and similar surface runs the silhouette of GIRL C, like a town crier. As she runs, her voice resounds throughout the Conservatoire.

Extra, extra! Extra, extra! Man—

—D-down! Man down!

—At least one member of the Troupe has been—

—murdered! By someone, um, someone else in the Tr—

—murder(s) most foul! Committed by their very own allies! Now here's a—

—A headscratcher!— It's— um—

...

...

... I... I-I'm sorry... you're always doing it alone and... I thought I knew the lines, so... I thought I could help...

...

... I... I'm just bothering you, huh?

Sorry... I can go away now...

...

The silhouette of GIRL C grabs the wrist of GIRL D and begins to run away with her.

Huh!?

Here's a headscratcher: Could you forgive someone for hurting others if they mean to make up for it later? Can you give it a pass if it's for the greater good?

And here's two for two, since there's two of us here!: Is it better to obey an authority that's hurting your loved ones but keeping the peace, or wreck the peace for everyone to protect the ones you love?

The silhouette of GIRL C and GIRL D disappear with their footsteps, leaving you behind with with a cruel truth: at least one of you is dead, and another one of you did them in.

( OOC: We're back to FFA investigation style! React to the initial header with waking-up reactions, and nose around for the body (or bodies)! Once the victim(s) have been found, mods will put up the investigation headers and you all can go at it! As always, the limit of investigators per header is three unless otherwise stated, but you can baton pass as needed. There will be a ~2 hour mod grasstouching break around 12 PM PST, but we'll pick up when we're back! )

[fullswingkiss]

[ Sleeping in the Sports Court is 0/10, he's achy. That said, is everything alright here? ]

[stalledrevolution]

( All clear! Looking about, it seems God hasn't punished you for shredding.

Yet. )

[impacter]

[Disappointing the entire straw poll results, Solomon is unfortunately waking up today, uncomfortable ans drenched in sweat as he is.

Looking for companions first, and then towards the doors of the infirmary.]

[insistence]

[Sitting sweatily on an infirmary bed while Solomon does all the work because I am also at work rip, chop chop, old man.]

[ohiganbana]

[ raikou opens his eyes. raikou realizes he is...wet.

and raikou immediately gets up and with a loud shout that really, the person in question should be proud of: ]

Tsukasa!!!!

[aspirings]

[Okay well if he wasn't awake before, he is now????]

Hm? Huh? What?

[heartstringless]

[Raikou... why u wet

Okay but while everyone awakens in the studio, P glances about, a little hurriedly-]

Is everyone still present and... and okay?

[Anything out of the ordinary happening in this here studio?]

[physalia]

[Okay, fine, one of us has to be first, and it might as well be Cantarella, who wakes up in the fields of the petting zoo...in darkness.

She throws the leaves and debris off her her face and sits straight up.

First of all, she was pretty thorough with her head count last night and also took notes on her surroundings, which should be right next to her and on her hands. What's different?]

[ohrlyeh]

Snzzzz...







[He's just going to keep sleeping here underneath the leaves. Snorkmimimimi.]

[stalledrevolution]

[She is still right where she was last night! Her notes are there and intact. Once she's done checking on her fellow petting zoo non-exhibits, she'll immediately notice several new additions to the area.

Most of them seem to be... plant matter and junk piled up where it wasn't before? Curious.]

[noellemadic]

[Noelle opens her eyes, groans, and with some effort removes the single branch that had been on top of her]

What the hell...?

[Well, this wasn't waking up to someone beheaded nearby, so all in all, this is an improvement]

[laestrella]

[Don Quixote wakes up, sneezing as she shakes off the debris and leaves]

Tis is most unfortunate of places to take a nap in.

[liliaofthevalley]

[Waking up.......... slowly............. in the petting zoo area.................. why must early mornings happen to good lilias who have done nothing wrong.

Not that the others would be aware, since he seems to be? In the middle of absolutely nowhere?? Hello what happened here.]

[physalia]

[She takes a big, deep breath, this is somewhere between foliage and boats chronologically, probably.] Lilia?

[Should Cantarella call out, having noticed he's not with the rest of them, can he hear her?]

[legendofthelion]

[Dehya awakens in the hot springs and immediately gets to looking for the rest of the people who were there with her.] Okay, head count! Is everyone alright?

[stalledrevolution]

( As Dehya looks around, she'll notice the hot springs (physical location) (we can't speak for your friends) seems all clear of anything unusual. )

[burner4ccount]

[Elan is groggy, but at least he's only half in the springs and none of them have probably drowned, right. Shaking his head, which is completely disheveled from steam and sleeping in a weird position. Ow.]

This was a bad idea...

[trollophoroi]

[ Meanwhile, Fandaniel is stirring from the second round of forced slumber in the Grand Theatre. He sits up with a sigh. ]

Hmm, another day and here I am, still alive. I even gave the killer a grand arena for a death...

[ Depressing. If there's nothing here, he'll be getting up and moving on to the Costumerie on his way out. ]

ANNOUNCEMENT ღ 1/2

[stalledrevolution]

ON AIR

 

He~lloooooooooo, everyone! Can you hear me? Can you? Can you? We've got some breaking news!

You won't believe this— a beloved member of the Troupe, Anette, is dead! Body's in the petting zoo, her soul... well, we can't really say her soul's in Heaven, huh?

Theological implications aside, you'd all best hop to it!

Oooh, imagining her bunnies all sad and alone makes me wanna cry! Somebody go look after them, will you?

ANNOUNCEMENT...? ღ 2/2

[falsehymn]

( A second announcement crackles to life over the intercoms after the first, following a few minutes of delay. Unusually, it's the Dramaturge's voice. )

Well, well... It seems the Extras got a little distracted today, didn't they? I'll be brief, so you all can dive into the matter quickly— Annette's body has been found, and you will need to investigate to locate her killer.

As usual, trial will be at twelve PM today, on the dot. I wish you all the best of luck.

( The announcement crackles once more, and then all is silent. )
