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]

[. . . 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.]

[fairlypushy]

[Oh well. If it's not Wreck-It Ralph candy, Amanda is going to . . . look for some less bloody ones and put them in her pocket. He did say collect the evidence, right?

Does the candy lead anywhere? Since she's looking for less bloody ones anyway.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[They stop around the lobby area.

Pretty close to the candy is a blood trail, though.]

[fairlypushy]

[. . . Yeah, she's just gonna leave that alone since Goofy is checking it out and she's not about to go running around where people are already investigating.

Is there anything else?]

[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?

[fairlypushy]

I don't know. It's - this is weird, it's the wrong kind of candy.

[She keeps picking up less awful looking ones and inspecting them.]

I think it was dropped, but I don't know why she would have it in the first place.

[coulombslaw]

...maybe she just liked candy.

[He sounds genuinely saddened about this death. Shaking his head, he goes towards Reyna.

Sorry for having bothered you, he's really unsure of what to do. He never dealt with dead bodies ever before]

[fairlypushy]

I mean, I guess? She comes from a world where everything is candy. [There's literally candy in her hair.] I just . . . think it's weird she was apparently carrying an entire bag of candy with her while she was running from a killer.

[She feels like there's some explanation, but she has no idea what it is. Maybeck would probably know. He was always good at seeing things other people couldn't.]
