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. ))

[Oh, NOW we're talking. This could be juicy.]

Oi, Beel, Alice. Think I just got a whiff of our prime suspects.

[Squinting over Billy's shoulder as he comes around from behind the foliage.]

...Mm.

We need to get this back to everyone else.

Alice, are you okay?

[ She huffs, pulling her stupid hat off to make sure Fou didn't get any prints of it. ]

No thanks to you two. I could've been seriously injured, you know!

You have an animal way bigger than whatever that was. I figured that you'd be fine.

Sorry, though.

Oh, so sorry for not helpin' you chase down a barmy squirrel when there was a blood-covered stiff to look over, lass.

[He does not sound sorry at all.]

Tch. [ grumble ] It's not like he was going anywhere.

Alright then, next time I'll keep a better eye so the big scary vermin don't gobble you the fuck up.

[Rude.]
