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. ☆ ))

[ No signs of any machinery damaged over on here! Second pairs of eyes are always welcome.

There's also no additional signs of violence to be witnessed either. Unless you count the possibility thanks to a second, knocked over drink. Though, it seems like the type of 'knocked over' to suggest an accidental hit than purposeful, given it hasn't been flung across the floor or anything. ]

[Knocked over drinks can be quite violent...what if someone were to slip?

Okay, the spilled battery acid is interesting, but presuming Magalor is going to do the following and scrutinizing of those little feetsies...she will focus on the substance itself.

Is there an empty glass or like, Monster can or anything that might have held what was spilled? Any trash at all in the vicinity will catch her eye, actually, but she's starting off focused on vessels of liquid transportation]

We should try to get a bit of this wiped up before it fully dries, I suppose.

[killerwaves]

[ One quick clarification is that both drinks—the one Magolor was looking at that was half-full and the spilled one—are also in Monster cans™, so that at least will tell her real quick re: what was also inside the spilt one for certain. Especially as the second drink has nothing weird or odd slipped into it.

No oddities in trash is happening, but she can probably also catch sight of those intriguing (oooh~) sticky footprints that Magolor's checking out. ]

[necrotiem]

[Do you really just shove the candy down into the can like that? Holy shit that is foul.

Waltaquin puts her new oversized shirt to good use but tearing off a square and wiping up some of the spill (but not the footprints). If it's still fairly recent-but-sticky, she figures it'll come up all right.

Said footprints do seem very intriguing and like the main feature of this scene... As expected, Magalor has the following underway, but is it possible to tell generally what kind of footwear might have made them?]

[killerwaves]

[ Truly, the fowlest of crimes.

The stickiness comes up okayish. Not all of it, but some of it. Clearly, it's been there for awhile (hard to tell how long, though.)

As for 'if what kind of footwear can be deduced', that is not possible! ]

[necrotiem]

[Alas. Well, she holds onto the cloth, which presumably just smells like Monster but I have to check anyway that it does. Also where is Beel when you really need him to lick some Monster.

Bear with both me and her here, mods, but if she stands up and walks backwards from the footprints, does a wider view of the area reveal anything else eye-catching, like a personal effect left behind by someone who couldn't carry it out or something that looks like it's been moved?

Sometimes I feel like a crazy person in invest and this is one of those times but that'll probably be it for her.]

[killerwaves]

[ It's fine to check it! The scent gives off the telltale scent of Monster indeedy.

Sometimes, though, one has to be crazy in order go glean any other information, but she should find that there's nothing else noteworthy, in regards to additional potential eye-catching details or other personal effects.

Nothing else also has been moved around. ]
