WEEK 2 INVESTIGATION

[killerwaves]

INVESTIGATION

The sun rises over sparkling waves and beaches -- and there are far more of them now, double the amount of sun and surf across the two unusual islands you've been forced to call home. Not that you were able to see the breaking dawn, given that you found yourself falling asleep at the stroke of midnight, regardless of how tired you were.

Your restful(?) sleep is brought to a sudden end at 7am with a booming whipcrack of sound; those on Seagull's Playground will hear it first, much louder than the karaoke windows shattering last night. Indeed, a window or two may crack in the arcade, but at least nothing else breaks as a new shockwave flashes out on that island. Those on Sungem's Peak will merely feel a stronger breeze and see some higher waves, but they'll certainly hear an echo of everything as they come to.

Given your sudden sleep and confinement (if you took notice in the midst of everything you were up to), it's understandably harder to keep track of your cabana-and-islandmates.

Now that you're very likely very awake -- perhaps it's time to take a look around outside, and see if this week brings better tidings than the last.

(( OOC: Welcome to your first official investigation! This is similar to last week's peace week investigation: body discovery part comes first, free for all exploration for everyone until a body (or bodies) is found. Then we will move into the detailed investigation of body and locations! Good luck at Costco. ☆ ))

GO-KARTS

[killerwaves]

[dupiety]

[Temenos was here earlier in the week (as much as he'd like to forget that experience), so he'll start poking around to see what's different.

Is there anything immediately off about the go-karts still here?]

[killerwaves]

[ Hewwo Temenos, gwad two hawve u here.

First thing he'll immediately notice off about the go-karts is that...one of them is missing! Oh noes. ]

[dupiety]

[nvm i'm ending this thread now

Awfully rude to not put that back, honestly. Is there any damage to the surrounding go-karts?]

[killerwaves]

[ 2bad so sad.

Anyways, the surrounding go-karts seem to be surprisingly in good condition. Nothing's off about them—but since he's already looking downwards probably to get a good look at these well-made babies, he might spot something on the floor nearby... ]

[dupiety]

[He'll bend down to get a better look. What might this "something" be...?]

[killerwaves]

[ It appears to be a discarded governor! Does this holy man know his machinery well? Regardless, it is quite clearly an object that is very much out of place in an area such as this. ]

[dupiety]

[Machinery is still very novel in Solistia, so he has like, a basic understanding. That said, he does know enough to consider it out of place for sure. In the absence of being able to take a photo, he opts to bring the gear with him. Hopefully someone else has better mechanical knowledge than him. Chai would be one such person, but...rip.

Are there any tools around to go with it? Perhaps in or underneath one of the nearby go-karts?]

[killerwaves]

[ RIP in rest indeedy, Chai.

As for there being any tools that you might expect to be lying around when there's a gear out and about, there are none! ]

[dupiety]

[He is curious about one thing regarding the tracks, but he'll wait until Psyche has had her look first. In the meantime, he's going to check for signs if any of the other go-karts have been used recently, touching them for warmth.]

[killerwaves]

[ The other go-karts are free of signs of use! So, he won't feel any warmth emanating from them to suggest that they were utilized recently. ]

[dupiety]

[Hmmm. So it really was just the one.

With the general go-karts area checked, Temenos is going to take a slightly different approach to the tire tracks. Do they happen to pass by any of the track finish lines? Or did this go-kart go completely off-road?]

[killerwaves]

[ It went completely off-road and straight on over to that golf course! No joyrides were happening on this raceway. ]

[dupiety]

[Huh, guess they were there on a mission.

His next order of investigation is to check out the concessions to see if anything is off over there! May as well be thorough while he's here.]

[killerwaves]

[ The confcessions are free of sin! Everything is all good here. ]

[dupiety]

[Good for them, good for them!

With that, he'll follow along to make sure everything is going okay with Psyche!]

[chrysaline]

[ Well, the good/bad news is that she doesn't know what she's doing... ]

Oh, Temenos... I haven't found much here. it looks like the tracks go straight ahead. Do you think whoever was driving meant to go this way?

[chrysaline]

[ Hopefully Temenos doesn't mind Psyche tailing him like an upset duckling. At least she's not touching anything yet. ]

[killerwaves]

[ Not touching anything, huh. Is she simply watching him or is she also looking around the general area as well? ]

[chrysaline]

[ Well, she's watching Temenos, but she's also looking around! Anything eyecatching here? ]

[killerwaves]

[ Lo! What is this over yonder?

...Just kidding, there is nothing over yonder. But it sure can be easy to catch tire tracks leading to the golf course! They look to be pretty steady as well. That's probably fine. ]

[chrysaline]

[ Hm... Okay, she's leaving Temenos for the moment to follow the tire tracks. Anything dropped around them? Do they just make a straight line for the golf course? ]

[killerwaves]

[ Nothing was dropped around them, or any such oddities linger in the tire tracks' vicinity.

And yes, they make a straight line for the golf course, right on target. ]

[chrysaline]

[ She'll pursue the rest of the way to the golf course and look for anywhere they hit a hitch. She doesn't really know what machines are supposed to do, RIP ]

[dupiety]

[Not at all! Psyche is more than welcome to stick with him. It feels a lot more familiar to have someone along with him on his investigations anyway.]
