Third investigation

[letsplayamod]

[You awaken to your shames... not being broadcast across the sky. Or, if they are, they haven't, yet. Even though things seem normal, it's hard to shake the sense that something is deeply amiss.

It's Friday. Do you know where your friends are?]

Comments

[sweetsynergy]

[Well clearly this just means Typhon was bluffing.]

[Anything interesting on the way to the kitchen?]

[letsplayamod]

[Nothing particularly amiss! Go get your coffee, girl.]

[markofnobility]

[Ferdie is heading downstairs to do horse things, let's hope nothing of note is on the way there!]

[letsplayamod]

[Ferdie is all clear to see his beautiful horfs.]

[necromants]

[So someone's probably dead, but Zvei's heading to the library anyway because that's his second home now, what do you expect from him. Anything off on the way there?]

[letsplayamod]

[There are a few things here but those are special tools to help us later. The important thing is no bodies!]

[catsgothistongue]

[No dirty laundry being aired out for all to hear? That's... not a good sign. And Friday's been a cesspool for murders these past two weeks.

Ranma's on edge as he scouts the area, deciding to head for the armory. To check and see if nothing funny's happened there.]

[letsplayamod]

[Like with Zvei, there's something for later but not a corpse.]

[taintedfayth]

[Unfortunately for everyone, Seymour is alive and well on this fine day and heading out into the gardens for some fresh air.]

[letsplayamod]

[Enjoy the garden time, all is well.]

[murchada]

[good morning, time to take a lil trip to the bathhouse, and everything better be fine there.]

[letsplayamod]

[All good in the bathhouse!]

[raisethemoon]

[ Luna, when she drags herself out of bed again, makes her way out towards the cliffs, intending to take a quick flight around the edges of the barrier. She knows that something has probably happened, but she cannot quite bring herself to change her routine, as if it's a complete certainty that someone else is dead. ]

[letsplayamod]

[Nothing seems amiss at the cliffs.]

[stringup]

[ Hm. Definitely not a good sign.

In true Velvet fashion though, she's heading down to the crafts room. ]

[letsplayamod]

[No bodies here!]

[latinumsbetter]

[he's going where he always does first thing in the morning, which is the Washrooms]

[letsplayamod]

[The public washrooms are free and clear!]

[yourheroine]

[Aoi is nervous about the motive, but she can't do anything without breakfast! How's the pantry?]

[letsplayamod]

[You can eat your breakfast in peace, Aoi.]

[pariunt]

[After last week, he's checking on the stables.]

[letsplayamod]

[Say hi to Ferdie! All hood and horsey here.]

[atu709]

[ what a terrible day to have a curse!!!

how's the uh. channeling room? ]

[letsplayamod]

[Channeling room is.....

Free and clear! Nothing wrong here surprisingly.]

[fillets]

[ Time to go to the forest and vibe with the ancient energy signature, I guess! ]

[letsplayamod]

[Sure, she could go vibe there but...something about the vibes in the bedroom hallway felt a little weird.]

[brokenhabit]

[ After yesterday she's still a little on edge so... while the others are looking around she's going to start knocking on bedroom doors ]

[liedol]

[ It takes a little bit of time since everyone's out and about but...

once Leb knocks, Ai's door opens and blinking sleepily, the bnuuy herself pokes her head out. ]

Mm...? Ah... Leb-chan, is that you?

[tailoredfate]

[She doesn't like this. Not at all. The last week has frayed Aglaea's nerves in a way the past several centuries haven't. It's! it sucks!

So with everyone else spreading out, she's gonna go check the bathrooms.]

A BODY HAS BEEN DISCOVERED

[letsplayamod]

[Wait. But tha– but, what-]

A spectacular turn of events from your own Goddess of Performance. What do you intend to do about this surprise, hm? I look forward to seeing it.

Well…? Find your evidence. You know what must happen next.

[Typhon’s words are in and out, as shocking as the body you have suddenly been left with.]

Ai's Room

[letsplayamod]

[Here lies a bnuuy. Graceful in life, as in death.]

[fillets]

[ Okay so I know her narration just said she wasn't going to walk away but she IS going into the room to see if she can get a bead on those vibes, or at least pinpoint the origin of the that awful smell! Assuming both of those things weren't just Ai herself. ]

Ai's washroom

[letsplayamod]

[Probably not polite to poke in here, but what are you gonna do?]

[sweetsynergy]

[Regrettably this is somehow the best place to slip away from All That.]

[What fresh hell awaits us here lads]

Living Quarters hallway

[letsplayamod]

[It's really more of an open square, but that's probably not important at the moment.]

[markofnobility]

[Ferdie came running after the scream and... oh. Oh no.

But the crowd is too big, so he'll start scanning out here with his power]

Armory

[letsplayamod]

[You didn't have Alex to put corks on all the pointy bits.]

[catsgothistongue]

[Soon as the announcement is made and he's allowed a minute to get his bearings in order, he returns to the armory. There was something nagging at him when he visited here earlier. What's amiss?]

Library

[letsplayamod]

[Athena looks down on your misery.]

[necromants]

[Zvei heads back here since he noticed something weird earlier... So from a glance, anything immediately off?]
