Second Investigation

[grimgrinningghosts]

[You wake up and almost instantly notice that the thumping has stopped. Maybe a wave of relief washes over you or maybe you’re confused, but one thing seems immediately clear, it doesn’t seem like the monster is here anymore.

The problem is that something also feels deeply wrong when you wake up. Sure, nothing is wrong with the bedroom you’re currently residing in, but as soon as you leave the comfort of your bedroom it should be abundantly clear that something happened last night.

[A little uneasy about the sudden silence, Pinocchio decides to check the billiards room. Maybe it was slight paranoia due to Soos mentioning that someone could definitely be murdered with a cue (thanks, Soos!), or maybe it was just the odd feeling he'd been greeted with when he left his room, but he'd rather be safe than sorry-- might as well go confirm everything's where it ought to be.]

[It's a miracle she managed to fall asleep at all last night, but when she wakes up, she realizes immediately why. The thumping and roaring has stopped.

That can't be good.

She gets up, dresses, and goes out into the hallway, bracing herself for more destruction like last week.]

[astronomics]

[ Oh kriff. Alright, Jyn's going to go through the casino towards the foyer! ]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Whoa hold it there Pinocchio, not so fast.

As he heads for the stairs, he will notice someone lying down on the floor.]

[pinkflip]

[ ...Okay, that's bad. Kim had intended on staying up all night to guard against the monster, this is. Actually really worrying.

She decides to go and check out the music room first. ]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Well she might notice something on her way to the casino...]

[bayoublues]

[The silence that greets Louis's ears when he wakes up comes as a relief, at first. But then he realizes the implication of this, and a new wave of panic sets in.

He's going to very cautiously make his way to the music room, as always, trying not to think about it too much.]

[sharpasanarrow]

[He would be happy about getting a decent rest if it weren't for the implications of it. With a sinking feeling in his stomach, Arrow goes to check out the bar just to make sure there were no instances of alcohol poisoning the previous night.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[As you head towards the stairs, you might notice something out of place.]

[madeofpine]

[Great! Thanks!

Given what happened with Arrow earlier this week, he kind of just assumes they're just sleeping? Unease aside, he'll go over and shake the figure by the shoulder just a little bit.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Huh that's weird.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Not so fast Mr Arrow.]

[tanukey]

[Okay, clearly it's monster hunting time. Rocket's armed and ready, hefting the shotgun he got from the slot machine; now heavily modified, one of the anulax batteries wired in near the back of the stock, an occasional arc of electricity sparking at the end of the barrel.]

[He's gonna start the day by poking around towards the dining room and kitchen.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[There is no response, but Pinocchio should quickly notice something.

It appears to be one of the younger members of the group. And... that sure is a lot of blood.]

[angelgoatdemon]

[He's headed to the art room today to paint a thing or two, maybe add some more to his journal. What's in store for him, he wonders.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Assuming you don't go through the Foyer, there is nothing stopping you from doing that. Enjoy messing around with your weapon Rocket!]

[pinkflip]

O-oh god- P-Pinocchio, stay back!

[ WELL THIS SUCKS. Trembling, Kim tries to cover his eyes while she...sees who the heck this is. ]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Well he might be stopped by something.]

[hasit]

[Peering around Kim's shoulder, Leia can't get her eyes off all that blood. And it's a kid.]

...Who is it?

[not_over_yet]

[ ...Welp, murder happened again.

Alright, Lets check the Kitchen. There was talk on Tuesday of using that place as some sort of refuge... Shortest route from Basil's room is through the Projector Room. ]

[madeofpine]

[THAT'S... PROBABLY FOR THE BEST because he definitely didn't want to see anything else after all of that blood. He doesn't even try to take a glance past Kim's hands.]

Who is it? What happened?

[sorrydoods]

[Soos is here too and he is completely horrified. He can't help but try covering Pinocchio's eyes, hoping it helps.]

[sharpasanarrow]

Try to keep any of the younger onlookers back, Miss.

[A dead body is a bad enough sight as it is.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[His is completely unresponsive as Kim calls out. Kim should notice that his body is covered in bruises and there is a sizable wound on his head. Judging by how some of his blood is dry, it seems like he's been there for quite a few hours.

Noby is dead.]

[sharpasanarrow]

[Oh fuck.]
