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. ))

The shockwaves weren't that long ago ... Are you saying we might have only just missed all this going down?

[ was the blood fresh. ]

Hey, was there a timestamp on the message to the admins?

When I stepped out of the Dove cabana, there was some sort of force field surrounding it that dissipated shortly after I walked out the door. Assuming that its purpose was either to keep us inside or muffle any potential incriminating sounds, it's a reasonable assumption to make.

[microtransactions]

... but there are other people here who were up and about and not in Dove cabana, or might have been able to hear things and, I don't know, intervene?

Even if Merlin was bunking in Dove, if the ... force field was there for the reasons you're suggesting, then why just that one?

[ clearly it means that only dove gets rights. ]

[dancing_flames]

[Suddenly, a thought.]

... or maybe it was meant to keep him from trying to get back in.

[microtransactions]

... I didn't think these cabanas looked like the sturdiest things in the world, but you might be on to something?

[ thinking emoji. what does this mean. ]

[dancing_flames]

It would explain why Dove was the only cabana to have a force field around it that I could see.

[butcherspice]

Hm. They were sent sometime last night. So that coulda just been somethin' the fucking island does?

[ dramatic sigh. ]

Because we just love it when the places we're stuck on make ominous cracking noises and throw out random shockwaves strong enough to knock people around...
