second investigation

[arsholes]

[Friday again? Oh dear...

It’s entirely possible that the ruthless murder last week was a fluke. A one-off incident that, with the perpetrator dead and dissolved into purple smoke, leaves the surviving apprentices free to try and live out the next 28 days without further bloodshed.

But it’s been a few days since the Alchemist’s motive and just like last week the tower feels deathly still and eerily quiet as people roll out of bed to start their day.]

Comments

[spitessier]

[Welp, time to go to the garden area once again, for purposes. How are things going over here?]

[arsholes]

[Well, there are things to find here but first and foremost Katsuya is getting accosted by Chiffon the Cake Dog as he opens the doors! He's yapping his little head off, trying to shove his way back inside.]

[predecir]

[Well, Bruno doesn't have a great feeling about today, but he's sure as hell not gonna say anything about it. Don't want folks thinking he's making a prophecy. So, as per usual, he gets up with his rats and heads to the kitchen to get everybody fed.]

[arsholes]

[Oh boy, Bruno. There's stuff to see here but the kitchen is not in great shape.]

[amitiesbind]

[ olive is going to go vibe in the garden!! surely no one would leave a body there. ]

[arsholes]

[yap yap yap!]

[squidproquos]

[ Azul's gonna take a nice walk down to the dock since it seems like a nice day! ]

[arsholes]

[LET HIM IIIIN]

[rikonstructed]

[Nuadha still has zero capacity to cook. But he's made more of a habit of heading down to the kitchen in the mornings just to keep an eye on things.]

[arsholes]

[Bruno can confirm it is looking bad, actually. But not corpse discovery bad.]

[nomansbosom]

[Okay. So how's the training room THIS week?]

[arsholes]

[All clear. :)]

[philomachy]

[...listen just gonna go make sure the library doesn't have another body in it because I genuinely don't trust nikki to not have killed wu twice in there, SOMEHOW]

[arsholes]

[So...there's nothing visually off about the library. Not like with Wu.

But there is a certain smell in the air. The smell of something burnt.]

[reresurrected]

[Baldr is going to take a brief moment to get some fresh air before heading back inside to the kitchen to get some food going.

How are things looking around the lake?]

[arsholes]

[The lake? Chill and possibly monster-filled as ever!]

[pegasinister]

[Heading to the Tinkerer's Haven to work on his staff some more]

[arsholes]

[Tinker away, my fella.]

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

[Okay, off to the music room to see if there's anything to do in here.]

[cuttingremark]

[Loki's going to join you in the music room because he trusts nothing in this place.

A Cookie Has Been Discovered

[thealchemist]

Well, isn't that just the way the cookie crumbles.

[The Alchemist's voice rings out through the tower.]

He had a profile, he was an apprentice just like the rest of you, so that means it's time to investigate just like any other body.

Clock's ticking, get to it.
