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. ))

un: songofpeace

[idologue]

I must agree. I have sympathy for your lack of experience, but matters such as this may require more gravity.

[diabolizes]

i'll get him into shape

[conceivesfrenzy]

you know theres a backspace button


right?

un: bishopkallamar

[hearnoplague]

Please use the buttons next time. You are making yourself look like a fool.

Anyway, did anyone actually see Merlin around yesterday?

[idologue]

He was listening to our song yesterday. I cannot say I know what he went to do after.

[diabolizes]

i saw him last night

[idologue]

About when and where, if you recall?

[chosenwang]

Unfortunately I didn't really see him yesterday
I did talk to him the night prior

un: hichai

[rhythmaction]

no.....

man. what the hell??????? is there anything proving that someone was there?

[necrotiem]

I'm afraid not.

Do we know how long he's been gone? Working from that, we may determine who was the last to see him.

[dakicover]

Last time I saw him was during the party.

un: Tenkuuzakura

[dancing_flames]

Not me. Not that I was looking for him, granted.

[microtransactions]

He showed up to Lacus and Haruka's little impromptu performance, but I don't know anything about after that.

un: killingtime (now even more unfortunately)

[passetemps]

I did note that he was not *present* in the Dove cabana when I returned last night.

I regret now that I did not think to *search* for him at the time.

un: twopied

[divector]

i didn't see him yesterday

[finalforte]

kanon doesn't remember seeing him

[dupiety]

I noticed him at the concert, but not beyond that.

[conchy]

He was at the concert, non? Merlin was the sort to get around and enjoy a bit of idle chatter.

un: ironlotus

[felame]

[ she is unsurprised on so many fronts and staring at this message for the reason that she probably shouldn't ]

I'm going to ask for your time later.
We're going to correct this, Xiao from Teyvat.

[ JUST SO PEOPLE KNOW THIS IS THE OTHER XIAO ]

But thank you for the information.

[ right yeah dead body ]

un: makuracover

[dakicover]

I don't know whether to feel more sorry for Merlin's passing or the fact that the death announcement was like this.

[stilllovesyou]

Typing is hard.
