WEEK 5 INVESTIGATION

[killerwaves]

INVESTIGATION

Good Mourning. Unlike the previous weeks, there's no musical serenade to greet you, just the ambient sounds of the island and the stirrings of those you spent the night with, if you were the type to want company. For those of you on certain islands, the background thrum (and siren laments, for those unlucky) of the warp phenomenon may also have sung you to sleep; but will they sing you to waking? You know how this goes by now, so is anything on this of all mornings really comforting? And is everyone you spent the night with still with you...?

Indeed, the not-so-dulcet tones of the ever-present haze fill the morning; you may not want it accounted for, but here it is nevertheless.

(( OOC: Welcome to your final murder investigation, let's get this party started☆ ))

[townmusician]

[He's up, he's up, from wherever he crashed last night...]

Is it time again...?

[Where's Xiao...]

[plunges]

[ Right next to Haruka, where he should be! ]

...Are we all here?

[townmusician]

[you mean he's not in the tub??]

...Nona's gone.

[xiao please don't go apeshit.]

[plunges]

...

[ Sorry, Haruka.

Xiao rises to his feet immediately and starts making his way towards the door. Unlike Lacus, he is starting to panic a little, and he'll welcome Haruka's company.

What's the resort looking like, when he steps foot outside? ]

[dakicover]

[ likewise, crea is running out the door and towards the planetarium or whatever is left of it. nona liked the stars. maybe she's still there. maybe she was still trying to talk to the stars. ]

[killerwaves]

[Crea will find none-a your wayward Dodo (on the way to Dodo), but he'll also notice that the Sungem-to-Dodo railway isn't exactly intact. In fact, there's some debris blocking the road and some parts where the structural integrity is a bit precarious the closer he gets to Dodo's Outlook.]

[dakicover]

[ well that's fucked up. ok next place... infirmary? ]

[killerwaves]

[He will find one (1) Baizhu (alive), but other than that the infirmary is untouched.]

[dakicover]

[ good for our resident snake... but crea's not looking for him.

he considers taking some supplies, just in case, but that would just slow him down. maybe he can still heal her, if he finds her.

...

let's go to the snow room/cold storage ]

[killerwaves]

[The snow room and the cold storage are separate areas.

Which one is Crea visiting first?]

[dakicover]

[ woops my bad

snow room ]

[killerwaves]

[The air is always cool and crisp in here, smelling irresistibly of places faraway from and better -- surely -- than these islands. Today, though, there's a certain heaviness in here; maybe it's the fact that there's still less snow than usual, though the snow machines seem to have been (somewhat inexpertly) fixed.

Other than that, though, nothing seems out of place--

Except something small and shadowed and bundled on one of the far benches. Surely, though, everyone knows better than to go to sleep in the snow. Perhaps someone forgot their effects in here. Perhaps it's a trick of snowblindness.

Perhaps you should approach.]

[dakicover]

[ no, no one should go to sleep in the snow. it would be anyone's downfall, with hypothermia settling in quickly enough to kill them, even in a controlled environment like this.

crea steels himself, though a large part of him is hopeful enough to find whoever it is alive. without hesitation, he runs towards the bench, his heart in his throat. ]

[idologue]

[ Lacus is a lot slower about leaving, but she's headed to the garden. ]

[killerwaves]

[ It's silent.

The garden's appearance looks...off. As if something went down here. But, there is a single Haro remaining... ]

[idologue]

... no.

[ She wasn't panicking before. She really was not panicking before, but... ]

No, please. Don't...

[ Before leaving here, she's going to check in with Orange Haro - is she still functional or did smth Bad happen here? ]

[killerwaves]

[ The Haro is still functional!

Nothing else is here body-wise, so she is free to leave. ]

[idologue]

Lacus! Lacus!

[ Well, then it's time to pick up Little Orange, ignoring the greeting. Lacus clutches the Haro tightly to her chest as she begins running

It was supposed to be a good luck charm, he was supposed to be fine--

Breathlessly, Lacus is going to run as far as she can because the recent islands often were sight of something bad. How's the laboratory? ]

[killerwaves]

[ The laboratory is...

There seems to be something happening here.

First of all, though, something small leaps out, kicking a gas mask straight at Lacus. Is she able to catch a hold of it or does she catch her with her face? ]

[idologue]

[ The unfortunate truth is that she's holding a Haro in both hands and this is not conductive to catching anything...

But she'll raise her arms defensively, so the gas mask is likely to hit Orange (held in place in front of Lacus' face on accident). ]

[chosenwang]

[ Hope she doesn't mind company. He'll pick up the gas mask to offer it to her before grabbing one for himself. ]

It always has to be lab...

[killerwaves]

[ Excellent, that works!

Fou scampers off, leaving the lab entrance available for entry.

Ready to venture forward, Lacus and Wang Lu? ]

[townmusician]

[Haruka is going to follow Xiao, because someone needs to be the emotional support idol right now.]

[idologue]

... Nona is missing.

[ A deep breath. Lacus smoothes out her hair a little and gets to her feet. ]

I think we should prepare ourselves for the worst.

[plunges]

[ He catches that just before he leaves, but he's hyper focused, so he doesn't say anything in response.

He's with you on that, though, Lacus. ]
