Third Investigation

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Two people have already died this week, but no matter how you look at it, the requirements for The Narrator to call off the motive still haven’t been met yet. And with a motive that affects so many, it’s hard to believe that no one else will die this week.

At least, when everyone wakes up today, they’ll find that there’s absolutely nothing off with the second floor.

Investigate anyway?]

[Chip's heading for the chapel. Sure, he needs breakfast, but he thought of something last night and it's gonna bug him until he reads it again.

Also, remind us- are there windows there?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Before Chip can even enter the chapel, he will find that there's someone lying in the entranceway.]

[Sally's just going to ignore that it's Friday and someone still needs to die or else. She's going to her happy place, aka the craft room.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[The craft room is clean! Have fun, you sweet child.]

[stenchus_rodentus]

[Death on a Friday again? God this group must be pathetic.

Ratigan doesn't care and waltzes into the craft room to find Sally.]


...how appropriate that you're here.

[anasty]

[ Ursula heads for the spa. Maybe there's more of that salt scrub and coconut oil to pamper herself with...

Let's be real, she wants to take a second look for ingredients. ]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Before you go any further, I got to ask a question even though I already know the answer to it.

Is Ursula wearing shoes?]

[geomanctic]

[Cornelia's off for a early morning spa day.

Perfect isn't easy!]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Well, Cornelia?]

[greatwidesomewhere]

[Belle wakes up with a familiar knot in her stomach, barely paying attention as she dresses in jeans and her Epcot t-shirt. She leaves her room on tentative feet, trying hard not to look up too often as she navigates toward the movie room to check, just in case she sees something gruesome.

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Enjoy your movie, Belle! Nothing unusual to note here.]

[keyofimagination]

[There is a pause as people mourn over the two deaths, and then, in a weary voice.]

… Amanda and Thalia are dead.

You know how this works by now.

CLUE COUNT

[grimgrinningghosts]

Total Count 28/28

Chapel 12/12
I spent like five minutes trying to think of a neck pun besides "necks of kin"
Who's been eating coins?
Quick look away before you're turned into stone
Yadda yadda bloody good time
Don't set her on fire
She almose seems normal besides the neck wound
Someone was finger painting with her blood
This is fine.jpeg
pew pew
Oil thief
Why are you destroying Dipper's memory
A nice stabbin knife

Spa 9/9
Please give me a good neck pun
Amanda was just rolling in blood I guess
And took an oil bath
With some water on her top half
Someone does not know how to have a bubble bath
It's fine they're happy tears
Amanda why are you so cryptic
Maybe it's pink lemonade?
Spilled pink lemonade

Kitchen 3/3
Suspicious sandwich
The Worst Way to make a sandwich
Wooow where could the knife be now???

Amanda’s Room 4/4
This isn't ominous
Oswald's dad is here
Please don't light the candle
Hey it's Walt's weird magic pen

Chapel

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Everyone is a sinner now.]

[nocasetoobig]

[Chip can't stay here. He's crying, but he can't- he can't. Not with Thalia. He crawls off, moving away from everyone else - straight in to the chapel.

Is there anything immediately off in here?]

[coulombslaw]

[Thalia's death has made Virgil rather upset and determined to investigate as much as possible. But not the body. That'll have to be left to someone else.

From what he knew of Thalia, he's sure she wouldn't die without a fight. That's why he immediately looks for signs of a fight here in the chapel]

[greatwidesomewhere]

[This time, the third time, Belle doesn't abscond to her room. She's sad, she's upset, but this time she's channeling all of that hurt into finding out who hurt her friend like this. Who could have done something so horrible. She stops briefly to look at Thalia, to commit her face to memory, before glancing around the chapel, looking for anything that stands out in particular. Anything that could be a clue.]

ROOM CLEARED

[grimgrinningghosts]

Spa

[grimgrinningghosts]

[And you'll never be able to come here again.]

[anasty]

[ Speak for yourself, flavor text.

Ursula is still in the tub, rolling her eyes in frustration about being abandoned by the little blonde child. She and Amanda weren't what you'd call close, so while it's initially shocking to recognize her body, Ursula isn't feeling anything in particular...

Aside from, perhaps, curious.

One tentacle reaches down, verifying the slant of a broken neck before reaching to loop around an arm. Any defensive wounds or gashes to explain the blood? ]

ROOM CLEARED

[grimgrinningghosts]

Kitchen

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Have some breakfast while you mourn the deaths of two women.]

[darnsitall]

[Sally's not too keen to investigate anymore, so she's going to sneak off to the kitchen and hope she doesn't stumble upon anything suspicious.]

ROOM CLEARED

[grimgrinningghosts]

Amanda's Room

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Huh, the door is already unlocked.]

[forgottenfounder]

[The... rather morose announcement from the Narrator definitely captured the mood as Oswald felt it. He was horrified. Thalia, and Amanda? They were both just so... friendly. They knew about his world, and he always enjoyed talking to them.

It tears at him, but he knows he can at least leave the chapel to the others, so he goes off to check the rest of the building.... and finds Amanda's door.

He never really considered checking other people's rooms. But today, as he turns the knob, he finds it unlocked. It's concerning to say the least, and he slowly pushes the door open...]
