☆ 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...

[Edna doesn't really emerge until noon, at which point she stops by the corner store to get some unhealthy brunch snacks. If everything's okay there, she's going to the arcade to get in some stupid gaming.

Gotta get Zaveid in the party so she can mess up his looks too.]

[raisingproject]

[ The corner store is clear of any dead bodies or murderous tools. Have fun with your snacks, Edna. ]

[breakingthrough]

[Wonderful. Her and her snacks are going to the arcade where she's going to be for at least a good two hours. Around 2:30 she heads outside to check on the garden by the Sakura Inn.

And she'll eventually have to go back inside to get the signs she made..... How's the lobby?]

[zackthekiller]

[After a day with his old scythe back, it's no wonder he decided to sleep in until 10AM.]

[If there's blood on the second floor of the inn, he's gonna notice it as soon as he walks out of his room.]

[raisingproject]

[ You have fun at the arcade, since there's nothing off there. The blood trail doesn't seem to be at the back garden, either.

But the lobby... definitely has that trail of blood. It leads upwards, as well as outside. ]

[selfloving]

[Fortunately (unfortunately? fortunately?), One makes the journey from the northern apartments back to Inn to bathe. The plumbing in the apartments, plus the general miasmatic dark presence, leaves a lot to be desired.

She'll start the walk over around 7 A.M. because she's disgusting. What's that about Breath of the Wild?]

[hawthorned]

[Dahlia will leave her room on the first floor of the Sakura Inn at around 9AM, frowning at the metallic smell lingering in the air. Is thee anything unusual she sees on the first floor hallway?]

[raisingproject]

[ HA HA HA

funny story about that, Zack. A good majority of the blood is pooled literally right in front of his room. Good luck with that. The trail seems to lead downstairs and not only that, from across the hall of his door, there's a small dent in the wall. ]

[breakingthrough]

[.............how did she.....

No. Not thinking about that now. Yelling for anyone nearby and later following the trail...]

[raisingproject]

[ While there's nothing in the hot springs, there sure is a pool of blood from the lobby to the stairs. ]

[raisingproject]

[ The trail goes all the way up to the second floor and seems to end (?) right outside Zack's room. ]

[raisingproject]

[ Besides the blood leading to two different paths -- one towards Zack's room and one downstairs to outside, nope, nothing. ]

[breakingthrough]

[And so her trail leads her here. Right to...]

...you're alive.

[BRILLIANT DEDUCTION.]

[zackthekiller]

[Is someone trying to frame him for murder?! Because he's not having it.]

[He goes to inspect the dent in the wall before following the trail downstairs.]

[zackthekiller]

No shit, Sherlock.

[You picked a bad day to be dumber than him.]

Did you see any dead bodies downstairs?

damn i was really hoping for an elevator bloodbath and you crushed my hopes w/ that edit

[selfloving]

[Great, because she prefers to shower in the privacy of her hotel room, anyway.

Is the blood fresh? If it's still wet, and if possible, she will try to walk around it to avoid treading in it and, unfortunately, make her way to the stairs.

And do the horror movie thing--but with Awareness. She's clearly just being cautious] Hey. Is anyone there? Are you hurt?

[raisingproject]

[ Who knows. It seems to be not too big of a dent, but it's there nevertheless. It's not too high off the ground either; rather, it's a little over 4 feet off the ground.

What he'll also notice on this wall -- as well as the wall near his room is that there are scratches on it now, too. At least, whatever it was avoided the doors? ]

[breakingthrough]

No. I followed a trail in the lobby up here and found you and a pool of blood. What was I supposed to think?

[SHRUG.]

Then if it didn't come from you...

[...great. Not what she wanted to do today.]

Let's look around.

rest in pieces, your hopes and dreams

[raisingproject]

[ It's definitely dry. There doesn't seem to be anything on the stairs outside of the blood trail, so carry on. You might meet some friends. ]

[hawthorned]

[PARTY UP IN ZACK'S ROOM. ...She'll just stand there kinda staring at the hallway situation for a bit before playing morbid Hansel and Gretel upstairs. is there anything about the blood trail that she'd be able to discern? Is the blood dry and coagulated or fresh? And is it a solid trail implying the body was dragged smoothly or interrupted/irregular?]

[zackthekiller]

Way ahead of you...

[Let's find out who croaked.]

[raisingproject]

[ The blood is decisively dry and it doesn't seem like a body was dragged at all, as the blood drops are decisively irregular and lead in those two different directions. ]

[breakingthrough]

Did you hear anything weird this morning? Any bumps or crashes or people? If they were right outside, you might have been able to hear something...

[It seems like a fair enough question.]

[zackthekiller]

[Was something trying to get into his room?]

[WAS THIS SOMEONE HE KNOWS?]

[He'll inspect the scratches.]

[zackthekiller]

I was sleeping like a log, so I probably missed it.

[He was exhausted from fighting the training dummy, ok?]
