☆ WEEK TWO ( INVESTIGATION )

[raisingproject]

Magical Girl Raising Project

Friday, Week 2

18 REMAIN...?

This week has been absurdly strange. From Fav bringing his "friend" over to force people to have their wishes granted via murder to the fact that the arcade makes a lot of people uncomfortable. I mean, who wouldn't be, when it spells out a lot of people's life stories in it? It honestly is surreal. Nevertheless, things seem to be quiet at first... at least, until people decide to exit their rooms in the Inn (sorry, Miach and One) and take a whiff of that Breath of the Wild that you might have been stuck playing on last night--

Except for the immediate fact that the first thing people in the inn will smell is the faint, coppery smell of blood in the morning. In fact, there's a whole trail of it that leads to various places depending on which floor you're staying at the inn. And there might be some blood outside, too...

We haven't found much either yet. [Off they go then! Following the trail out of the inn to wherever that will take them.]

[raisingproject]

[ The blood trail will lead them outside the inn and makes a left turn to go through the alleyway between the inn and the item store. The first thing they'll find on this trail of blood is near the back of the apartments, where there seems to be a bow tie. ]

[selfloving]

[After she finishes delegating to these little babies. who are acting like little babies.]

[breakingthrough]

[Team ho. Edna bends down and picks up the bow tie. Is this...?]

Wasn't this the thing Zack was talking about last week? The thing that belonged to Eliza they were playing with when the murder occurred?

[selfloving]

[Thanks for not being a little baby, Edna. One leans in, extending her hand to touch the bowtie's material.]

I can't imagine what else it could be. It's supposed to change your voice, isn't it? Does it work?

[raisingproject]

[ It is most definitely the voice changing bowtie. And it works. Would one of you girls like to test it? ]

[breakingthrough]

[Edna will give it a test. After turning it on--]

Like this?

[...what's the effect?]

[raisingproject]

[ She'll sound like Zack. ]

FAVY-FAV

[breakingthrough]

.........

[So one of Eliza's things ended up out here. And it did... well. That. Well then...]

Hey Fav.

[Yeah. She's even using it's name.]

Can we see Eliza's room?

[raisingproject]

I'll have it unlocked for you guys when you go back, pon.

[ Have fun. ]

[breakingthrough]

Thanks.

[She turns to One.]

Should we head back and check it out? I think the others have the park under control.

[selfloving]

[Well, Zack and Eliza were friends; they could have been playing...Or. Or what.]

In a minute. Let's make sure there's nothing else here.

[Does the blood trail continue? She inspects the ground and anything else on it.]

[raisingproject]

[ The blood trail does continue from here to the river. Other than that, there doesn't seem to be anything else on the ground. ]

[selfloving]

Fine. Let's bring that along.

[Having learned the basics from Dahlia, she takes a not that great photo after struggling with her phone for a bit.

Now it's time to go exploring, Edna.] I'm ready.

[breakingthrough]

Alright.

[Back to the inn and to Eliza's room they go. When they get there, Edna opens the door. What do they see?]

[raisingproject]

[ Apparently Dragon the Diglett is sleeping close to the door and wakes up, momentarily confused.

On the desk, Edna will find the seven branched sword, Muramasa, the pickaxe, and the dull kitchen knife, which is piled up randomly in a row. There's also a fan on the desk and the rest of the stuff she's regained. There are also several pages of notebook paper as well. Her other Pokemon that she managed to get back is also sleeping, too.

The bed looks a bit rumpled and not straightened out at all. ]

[breakingthrough]

[Oh. Huh. Carefully walking around Dragon so as not to step on it.

On the other hand. Those are... a lot of weapons. Edna instead goes for the notebook papers to see if there's anything of interest in them.]

[raisingproject]

[ It seems to be... the starts of a diary, as it reads:

Week One

Monday - I can't believe I've actually become a magical girl! I don't know why some people here are so upset about it, but at least there's one other person here who likes them. Hopefully Ryuzaki and I'll be able to introduce other people to it at the sleepover Zange's planning.

Also, we've already been doing the job of magical girls! Today Tamamo and I delivered a package to an old lady from her soulmate! I wonder what exactly it was...

It's really weird how no one here knows what Pokemon are. Taiki's the closest, but even those Digimon seem pretty different. I wish my Pokemon were here so I could show them.

Tuesday - I can't believe I nearly crushed someone today! That was so embarrassing. At least Eruna was really polite about it, and she apparently knows about magical girls too! We had a nice talk about the different colors of magical girl teams and what they mean.

Also, Ryuzaki's magical girl form is adorable, and he helped me figure out my own transformation chant too!

Wednesday - I went back to the apartments, and apparently that one doesn't have anyone living in there anymore. This really is weird. Was that old lady just out on an errand or something? But she wouldn't have left her door open, would she?

Thursday -

Friday - I can't believe Tamamo would end up fighting someone like that! Magical girls aren't supposed to be like this. And she didn't show up at the sleepover either.

Still, Eruna thinks I'm cute! This is the first time someone's said that to me.

Saturday -

Sunday -

Week Two

Monday - How did things end up like this? This isn't how magical girls should be at all! And I can't believe Fav has been doing this kind of thing more than once! I hope Snow White will have more information for us later.

I guess it's true that those people disappear after we do the tasks. That girl couldn't have gone anywhere without me noticing, I'm pretty sure.

Tuesday - So that's what Madoka is. I see what Fav meant by "dark..." They're even fighting each other! Was he inspired by this?

Edna really did get her powers back. Hopefully I can get my psychic powers back soon too.

Wednesday - I hate M! She's a jerk and she insults people! And she insulted my Pokemon! I wonder why she said my power wasn't telekinesis though.

Thursday - So I found this cool bowtie that can imitate people's voices. I bet I can make fun of the mastermind a lot with this! And maybe joke around with some other people too.

It looks like someone else enjoyed it as well. Zack and I ended up messing around with it together. He's actually kind of nice once you get to know him.

Friday - Someone actually tried to play Fav's game. Now we've lost our leader. I don't know what we should do. This isn't fun anymore.

Saturday - I know Zack was with me, and Eruna is too nice to kill anyone! Edna seemed nice from what I saw of her too. I don't know much about Moeka, though...could she really have done that?

Sunday - why this i don't understand At least Tamamo's food was nice.

Week Three

Monday - Ugh, I can't believe Kyubey is actually here! At least I got to see Zack beat him up, even if him appearing to eat his own body was weird. Hopefully I can find my Pokemon again so they can beat him up too.

Also, Fav said that the secret to fighting M is to not think about her. He says thinking about her gives her power. I'll have to ask Snow White about that the next time she shows up.

At least I got to see how Madoka ended. It turned out to be happy after all! I'm sure Ryuza Beyond would be happy to know that.

Tuesday - That was really really weird. I feel gross just reading some of those cards.

Wednesday - That arcade is so weird. So many people found games about themselves! Still, the not-creepy-stalker games are kind of fun. And I feel pretty sorry for Tamamo-she really loves her husband, and it's not likely he can come here. I understand why she wants to keep that around.

Also, I took a look at Recette's game, but it seems really complicated.

Thursday - I can't believe I finally found Dragon again! I'm sure he'll be really happy to meet all the friends I've made here. And Zack found Crown! I've got 1/3rd of my team back now, and hopefully I can find more of them soon.

I'm still kind of worried. A wish is really big! What if someone wants to try and get it?

I think I'm going to patrol the hallway tonight. I've got the bowtie, so I can imitate the voice of anyone who's going to be attacked and distract them. Maybe I should bring a weapon as well. ]

[selfloving]

[oh fuck]

not here

[mikooon]

[DAMMIT ELIZA WHY DID YOU PATROL THE HALLWAYS ALONE]

[theotherother]

[Kaine'll head in here at some point, and after taking a moment to stare at all the weapons, he'll make his way over the diary, and just...]

Christ.

[selfloving]

[She's still here--or nearby, at least--finishing up with whatever's left in the room.]

Edna found that. I didn't hear all of it; what does it say?

[theotherother]

She was going on patrol. In case somebody tried something. The rest is...well, it's her diary.

[Does he have to explain further?]

[selfloving]

Alone? ...Stupid girl. [Her eyes lower.] Even if everyone has magic, how could she hope to overpower someone twice her size or age?

[selfloving]

[She crouches down to rub Dragon's weird little rock/rubber/whatever-Digletts-are-made-out-of-head to keep it calm.

While Edna's investigating the weapon/diary pile, she'll take her (poorly composed) pictures, then cross the room to take one from the other side, running her hand along the rumpled bed while she's over there snapping a picture of the door from the inside.]
