First Investigation

[grimgrinningghosts]

[It's Friday the 13th, the deadline for taking the motive. Even the most optimistic guest would have noticed the tensions rising in the hotel. After all, The Narrator seemed pretty sure someone would die in this hotel. Still, there have been attempts to make sure morale remains high in this hotel, and maybe it all worked?

Nothing seems off on the bedroom floor. Perhaps the attempts to keep morale up worked after all?

But maybe you should Investigate anyway]

Game Room

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Now we can finally play irl Clue.]

[fairlypushy]

[. . . So what else is up besides the body.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[It looks like someone took that Twilight Zone board game! That's a lot less spooky than a body, right Amanda?]

[fairlypushy]

[. . . It's less spooky, but also what the fuck. Are all the other games here?

Amanda dug through them all, so she has a pretty good idea of what was here when they arrived.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Every other board game is here an accounted for!]

[fairlypushy]

[Cool. At least we don't have a board game thief too. Small victories, fam. Small victories.

Virgil's got the chair, but uh. What about the candy? It looks like typical Wreck-It Ralph candy, right? Does it look like it spewed out of her or it was used in an attack???]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[It doesn't actually look like Wreck-it Ralph candy, more like the kind of candy you would find in the kitchen. And... while "spewed" is a gross way of wording it, it looks like the candy just fell off of her than an attack of some sort.]

[coulombslaw]

I can't believe someone killed a child...this is messed up.

[Virgil comments that while he checks the candy. From the kitchen, the mod said? In that case...]

You think she was attacked by surprise or someone chased her in here?

[coulombslaw]

[Virgil's not touching that body, someone else will have to do it. Trying very hard not to look at it, he looks for evidence away from the body, like signs someone pursued the poor child, or anything like that]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[There is a table that's been knocked over, it's pretty close to Vanellope's body.]

[coulombslaw]

[That's a start. Does it look like someone crashed against it? Like, is there any blood on it, or any marks or anything like that?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[There are no blood or marks, unless you count a smallish dent on the the side of the table that's on the floor.]

[coulombslaw]

[Virgil raises the table and passes a finger over the dent, thinking. This could be important...maybe? It's evidence and that's what matters.

Did anything fall to the floor at some point? Not from the table, anything that belongs to Vannellope or to the culprit?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[There is the candy that Amanda is looking over.]

[audentiae]

[ And now... to touch a body, okay. If anyone's watching, Reyna has this kind of... detached air to her as she goes to investigate the wounds. She's... this is clearly not her first time seeing a dead kid, #demigodlife.

Anything immediately off? Or like. She's covered in blood, where'd all that blood come from? ]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[The shards of glass that's embedded in Vanellope's chest might have something to do with it.]

[audentiae]

[ YEAH THAT... THAT WOULD DO IT.

Okay if she very carefully tries to... grab a cloth of some kind and pull one of those out, is there anything to note about it? Color, size, etc? ]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[It looks like it belonged to a bottle at one point.]

[audentiae]

[ Oh good, someone... stabbed this girl with a bottle, that scans. Are there any defensive wounds she can see? On her hands or... wherever. ]

[tadaishi]

[Why was it a kid? Why was it anyone, but especially a kid?

Is there anything on the body besides a lot of blood?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[There's nothing else on her, but the first thing Tadashi will notice about the body is that she is laying on her back, with pure fear in her eyes.]

[tadaishi]

[Thaaat's disturbing. Anything immediately around the body? or is she holding anything, like in self-defense?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[She is not currently holding anything. However, as Tadashi looks, he might notice something off about her neck.]

[tadaishi]

[This looks familiar.

Is it an open wound or something more like a bruise, like something was pressed against it?]
