WEEK ONE, SATURDAY

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. ))

I assume there was nothing unusual about his behavior?

And did you see where he went to afterwards?

I see...

Unfortunately, it sounds like you may have been the last person to encounter him alive.

that seems to be the case, doesn't it?

for what it's worth, i do think he was a bit bothered by what had happened, but he seemed as optimistic as always

Whatever happened here is not your fault.

Whether he attempted to use magic on his own or was attacked, it is not an outcome you could have been expected to change.
