WEEK ONE, SATURDAY

[killerwaves]

INVESTIGATION(?)

Exciting night, no? Were you able to get to sleep, or did you stay up into the wee hours, seeing that far-off shimmer near the gazebos and listening to the rising rumble of whatever-that-is and wondering when it would come for you?

At least, when dawn finally comes and the shimmer is overcome by the rising light of the sun, it seems that last night wasn't the end. For you.

Instead, once it's morning proper, there's a shift -- like the breeze and the smell after a bout of sudden summer thunderstorm without the storm: the pressure and the oppressive atmosphere of yesterday is gone, just like that. But also: accompanying it a few seconds later is a clean whipcrack of sound, like giant hands clapping together. And a moment after that, you'll feel something pass overhead -- you won't be able to see anything, but anyone outside at the time will find themselves staggered by what seems to be a small shockwave spreading throughout the island.

That's not the only change that awaits you this morning, however.

You might want to get out of bed, if you haven't already, and take a proper look around.

(( OOC: Welcome to our peace week Saturday event, islanders! Please note that this will be run similarly to a normal investigation, but will not be a full investigation. As such, everyone is welcome to explore for the first part of the event, and then we will take a limited amount of people for the second half, investigation-style. ))

[Since our trusty manlet is so close to the ground, he’ll notice a trail of conspicuously glowing flower petals along the footpaths leading out of the cabana area.]

[plunges]

[ Hm.

Alright. He's going to cautiously follow that trail of glowing flower petals, then. He'll get his spear ready for this, too, just in case. Where does the trail lead? ]

[killerwaves]

[I should also note that the feeling of malaise has disappeared.

The trail is leading towards the garden, perhaps unsurprisingly. He may meet up with Wang Lu on the way, and Kallamar is bringing up the rear, so they’re a proper parade now.]

[plunges]

[ He'll go and join up with Wang Lu down below, then! ]

[hearnoplague]

[ Hi, there is a squid who is more content to let Xiao follow the trail to potential doom while he examines the flower petals himself.

He attempts to pick up a petal. Any particular species of flower here? ]

[killerwaves]

[Unfortunately for Kallamar’s botanist endeavors, the flowers vanish as soon as Xiao passes them following the trail.

They’re pink and amaryllis-like from observation, though!]

[hearnoplague]

[ He's not a botanist, but he could probably describe the petals to someone who asked.

The fact they vanish so suddenly doesn't seem very good...

Why is he following after Xiao? Chalk it up to instinct. ]
