The howling of the wind rises to a fever pitch outside. The rain plasters the windows, darkening the already black night outside. The storm is at it's absolute strongest.[break][break]
If you can ride out this part of the storm you know you will be safe. It's only a waiting game, then, till the storm eventually peters out and you can safely leave.[break][break]
Walsh looks over the case briefing again as well as the clues you all have uncovered so far.[break][break]
"Something isn't adding up." declan walsh speaks aloud, to no one, with a tight frown on his handsome face.[break][break]
It seems there is still much for you to uncover as the night wears on...
TEA ROOM AND HALLWAY [break][break]
The team room fills with small talk, Madam Peacock's body unable to join in. Yuina Higashi, Elise Calcifet, Remiel Calcifet, and Grigori Sokolov raise a lot of very interesting questions to one another- yet they aren't ones any of them can answer at this moment. A shame.[break][break]
Grigori continues to wash his eyes over the scenery of the room. Madam Peacock seemed to be a well traveled and adored woman right up until her death; many of the photos were awards for generosity and thanks from various charities. There were pictures of her and her family, as well, her, a stony faced man, and then their son happily in her lap in one. Yet, while interesting, it does eventually lead Grigori to come to a conclusion. He knows what Madam Peacock's TYPE is.[break][break]
[break][break]
Elise focuses down on the stain on the floor. It's still kind of tacky; given what is known about the murder, it should already be dry if it was anything normal. But, she does eventually parse out what it happened to be-[break][break]
[break][break]
[break][break]
It seems that chatter was right. This could be the smoking gun for the case to reveal who the killer was... but it does call into question the motive. That, perhaps, is why Yuina and Remiel take such interest in the teacup on the ground. At first glance it seems like a normal teacup that's been dropped, just broken and shattered, but there is something odd about it. Even if Madam Peacock had fallen from the chair it is much too far away from her body to make any sense.... and away from the stain. There also seems to be something yellow and fuzzy clinging to a few of the pieces, but it's hard to make out what it could be without more investigation.[break][break]
Unlike the last pass, this time the hallway does not go abandoned.[break][break]
Kouji Matsubara stops in the hallway, something about the carpet catching his attention. The first is very faint lines in the wood underneath. Something even the best polishing can't hide. Like a doorway has been opened here enough to catch on the floor in the same spot- but there isn't a door out here, is there?[break][break]
Strange stains are also soaked into the carpet. They were hard to make out at first, deep red on red, but the faint outline of drying... something is noticed.[break][break]
[break][break]
Ambrose Hendrix meets howard slayte in the hallway as well. Ambrose catches a nasty smell- and it's not himself after that quick workout with the Breloom. It's rancid and sickly sweet with rot. Howard flees right into the smell, too; with the work of their sniffers, they manage to discover some things.[break][break]
The smell is definitely something dead. It smells similar to how Madam Peacock's body is already starting to reek... but it's not from Peacock's body. It's something else, something here in the hallway.[break][break]
[break][break]
The three of them manage to put what they know together and come to the same conclusion. There is something hidden in this hallway. Now they all just have to work together and find it.
KITCHEN AND GREENHOUSE The kitchen is thoroughly picked clean- even if most of the people involved seem more interested in torturing Navy's taste-buds than looking for actual clues.[break][break]
While Navy, Hyakkaryōran Tsubaki, and Isaac Merlo play in the spices, Mika Nakayama gets to work on sorting through Grace's purse. She does, eventually, find her wallet- stuffed full of large note bills. A picture of her and a small boy is shown- the boy looks sickly and pale, laying in a hospital bed. They both still smile wide at the camera, even if there is a lingering sadness in Grace's eyes. As sad as that may be, Mika does find enough evidence to conclude what Type that Grace is.[break][break]
[break][break]
Eris Halla happens to notice something peeking from under the hood of the oven. Pulling a stool over, she braves climbing up the metal chimney for a good look. It smells faintly like smoke up here and is leaves black grease stains on her fingers. Still, she ends up face to face with two faceted eyes that shimmer in the low light. The bug type crawls onto to the top of her hat. She comes out a little dirtier and with a VIVILLION as her new companion.[break][break]
[break][break]
[break][break]
Eris goes to deliver the pokemon to the officers. Meanwhile, Navy, Tsubaki, and Isaac set about to do something much worse than the murder- make the most disgusting sandwich known to man. All in the name of getting Navy to take a bite. They do, however, end up uncovering a clue in their messing around.[break][break]
[break][break]
The Cinnamon is sprinkled handily on pickle slices and peanut butter. Covered with so many other spices, it's almost easy to miss the slightly off and cloying scent . Or, the very slight shimmering sheen of purple glitter. Tsubaki and Isaac would realize it right as Navy went to take a huge bite of his creation- the Cinnamon was poisoned.[break][break]
[break][break]
If they manage to stop Navy in time or not is up to them- but since he isn't weak to POISON, the worst that would happen is he gets a crazy tummy ache.[break][break]
With that simple ingredient changed out, though, it does inspire you to maybe check the pantry for extra clues.[break][break] [break][break]
In the greenhouse, while much progress is made- so far robin coello, mint frost, @adelaine, Gwyar Wledig, and a Rowan Wrynn don't have as much to show for it as their kitchen counterparts.[break][break]
Robin, Adelaine, and Mint don't find a smoking gun- but oddly enough, after some digging, they do find... cleaning supplies. Under many of the plants are washcloths, plastic bottles of cleaner, scrubbing pads. There isn't really a rhyme or reason to the placement and they seem to be hurriedly and randomly scattered amongst the plants. There are still a few more plants to search, though, and maybe a little more would help uncover something... or, perhaps, it had all been a waste of time. That was up for them to decide.[break][break]
Gwyar and Rowan, meanwhile, investigate the toolbox. The lock is snapped, not just left open. It would have been easy to miss. Inside, under piles and piles of tools are... letters. Love letters, it seems like. A quick scan doesn't reveal the sender or receiver, but taking the time to search a little more might uncover something interesting.
BEDROOM AND GYM While the storm continues to rumble outside, Josh Devlin and ollie morales continue the search of Andrew's bedroom. With just the two of them, it's more work than they can finish on their own. That doesn't mean their searching is useless, however. While most of what they find seems to be random trinkets or just junk, a few letters are found scattered between the boxes. Who sent or received them is unclear, but they do all seem to be from the same person. A little more investigating will be needed to to parse out what they are, though.[break][break]
[break][break]
The group in the Gym do fare a little better, though the mess made is so large it will take more time than expected to clean up.[break][break]
Victoria Beckett finishes digging through the backpack. There isn't very much interesting inside; it seems than Andrea leads a very spartan life. There are, however, a few little clues hidden at the very bottom- under a very squished orange. After peering over what she's uncovered, Victoria can say with confidence that she now knows Andrea's Type.[break][break]
[break][break]
Cillian Quinn and @albrecht still endure howard slayte's presence until he flees. The two men work on picking up the mess, slotting the TMs all back into place. The case scans and beeps every disk that they place back inside, some mechanic inside of it. On a small screen inside the lip of the case, each scan also flickers a quick picture- some representation of the element of the TR inside. While the case is expensive, and the insides no doubt more-so, it seems these are all TR and not TM; each disk is a particular move with a particular type, unlike some of the more powerful TMs that can teach many things in the Hoenn they're familiar with. They also are useless after teaching the move.[break][break]
If this is useless or leading down a more solid evidence, that is up to them to decide.[break][break]
[break][break]
WHERE AND HOW? LOCATIONS AND CLUES
- To uncover a CLUE, it must be investigated so many times. The amount is listed in 0/0 format, reading times investigated/needed investigations.
- Investigation carries over between rounds. You can investigate the same clue multiple times if it's available.
- You can only investigate once per round.
- Certain Clues being uncovered could unlock new places to search!
- You have a limited amount of time to search, so it is advised to work together OOC to find out where you might need to look next!
