[nospaces] [attr="class","omgen"] [attr="class","omgentop"]MURDER AT MAPLE MANOR [attr="class","omgenmid"] TIMELINE: OCTOBER 1ST, NIGHT [player]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/791380318115463178/1156735664642080819/Pokemon_Black_and_White_2_OST__Ns_Room.mp3?ex=65160d89&is=6514bc09&hm=2a2dea96f57cba076d92384b2177ce27aef9ef2afbff081478d3055bcce8bf84&[/player] [break] N's Room - PKMN BW 2 [break][break] THE STORM SLOWS...
There is one last, loud boom of thunder overhead. You all realize that the storm seems to be finally dying down...[break][break]
Your detour here is almost over. Soon, you will be back in the Hoenn you know, reunited with Pokemon and family alike. As time draws close, you feel a restless energy. It's almost time to go back. You don't have enough time to help the investigation further.[break][break]
SECRET ROOM Inside of the secret room, you all get to work. Like ants devouring a dropped lollipop, you swarm. There will be nothing left to uncover in this room when done.[break][break]
Unanimously, you all decide that declan walsh can investigate the body of Hensley. The Detective kneels down and pokes at him a bit, hemming and hawing and muttering to himself as he does so. With a final nod, he stands up and tells you what he's found.[break][break]
"It appears out friend is a Flying type. There are scorch marks on his front. A pokemon killed him."[break][break]
[break][break]
Hyakkaryōran Tsubaki and Mika Nakayama work on calming down the panicking pokemon in the vault. A flutter of feathers, it staring between the two of you. It is clearly in high distress; having been trapped in this room with it's Trainer's body, lacking food or water for who knows how long... but the two do, eventually, get it to calm down. At least enough to step outside.[break][break]
The Xatu approaches slowly, cornered and still slightly scared, but it does peep softly as it starts to calm.[break][break]
[break][break]
[break][break]
Elise Calcifet, Ambrose Hendrix, and Kouji Matsubara start to pick through the suitcase. While Kouji's dumping of the contents will reveal little, it does help Ambrose and Elise sort through the things inside. It's most what one might expect, a lot of stuffy papers full of legal jargon, some ink pens, white out, and the remains of the man's lunch. However, something interesting is inside of the case.[break][break]
First, they would realize a few of the papers were missing. Two, it seemed that Madam Peacock was revising her Will.[break][break]
The revised Will leaves the house and most of the inheritance to her son, as is expected. However, it seems she specifically was adding that all of her staff were to receive hefty sums as well. Madam Peacock even left a heartfelt message to all of her staff, saying how much she appreciated them for when the Will would be read.[break][break]
The missing papers, from their best guess, seems to be more Will documentation. However, you have no idea where that might be hiding or why.[break][break]
[break][break]
[break][break]
The papers on the desk do seem important, which is why Navy, robin coello, Gwyar Wledig, and Rowan Wrynn decide to riffle through them. It's not anything that interesting when they first start to look through them. Collected tax documents, receipts, and other such boring things one needed to keep up with in adult life. However, they would start to find a pattern of discrepancy between a few of the written checks between the amount actually leaving Madam Peacock's account.[break][break]
For whatever reason, Madam Peacock seemed to have been giving Grace extra money under the table every month for... at least the last year. You can't even begin to guess why, that clue elsewhere in the house. You do note that Madam Peacock was writing off this fudge on her taxes as 'Medical Expenses'.[break][break]
[break][break]
[break][break]
With the antsy Xatu cleared out of the vault, Eris Halla and Isaac Merlo now have a chance to take a closer look. The vault is large, big enough for you to walk inside of, but not as deep as expected. The walls are lined with various smaller metal boxes. The organization on the wall shows them labeled as things like "Grass, Water, Electric, Fire" and so on.[break][break]
Picking around, they find that inside are a few scattered Elemental Evolution Stones. You don't know much about Peacock's life, but this might have something to do with why she's so rich to start with. However, while the two of them do find a few stones they are scattered. Most of the boxes are empty, as if the place has been robbed.[break][break]
The oddest part, aside from the robbery, is that the outside of the vault has cracks on the edge to show it was broken into. These cracks are similar to the ones that had been found in the Kitchen and demonstrate great force was used.[break][break]
[break][break]
[break][break]
POKEMON The five pokemon that have been found are all gathered together in the entrance. The officers running around have provided them with food and water. The Snubbul in particular seems bothered by the other pokemon, sticking away from the group.[break][break]
Remiel Calcifet, Victoria Beckett, Cillian Quinn, Adelaide Whiteley, and Yuina Higashi decide to take up the task of scanning the pokemon. The process is quick; the device is shaped like a gun with some twisting knobs. A screen on the front reveals the information. The pokemon themselves don't seem bothered by the process, only staring at the people around them curiously.[break][break]
[break][break]
[break][break]
ELSEWHERE There are still a few who linger in other parts of the manor, uncovering secrets. A few areas will forever hide one or two last Clues; but that's alright. By working together, you have all done well to pick the manor clean.[break][break]
In Andrew's Bedroom, mint frost, Josh Devlin, and ollie morales begin the arduous task of searching the drawers. There isn't any rhyme or reason to how Andrew had shoved his things in his dresser; it looks as if he simply opened drawers and used his arm to swipe everything inside in one go.[break][break]
Messy, but altogether harmless. It seems Andrew is a big sports fanatic, works out, and has a hobby of stamp collecting. The little things you can discover about someone when picking their belongings apart. However, half hidden under an empty water-bottle, they find a TR.[break][break]
It looks damaged, scratched to hell and back on the bottom. That's a problem, since that means you can't tell at a glance if it's been used or not. However, if one of the men decided to test it out, they would find it matched the missing TR from the Gym.[break][break]
[break][break]
[break][break]
In the Gym, Grigori Sokolov, @albrecht, and howard slayte all decide to endure the great stink for more clues.[break][break]
The pile of clothes is rank. The deeper they go, the smellier it seems to get. Grigori is right about there almost being visible stink lines. When was the last time any of this was washed?[break][break]
Either way, the three of them do manage to find another paper. This one is more concise, a threat directed at Andrea. It seems like the spartan lifestyle she leads isn't by choice; Andrew has a gambling problem, and her debts are catching up with her. Whoever wrote this wants their money. Now.[break][break]
[break][break]
[break][break]
THE FINAL REQUEST As the storm slowly drags to a halt, Detective Declan calls you all back into the entrance. He rubs his chin as he ruminates over the clues you have uncovered. A glance out of the window sees one final flash of lighting light up his face before he turns to address you all.[break][break]
"It seems you will be leaving me soon. I thank you for the help." When Declan turns to face you, the man gives you a quick, grateful smile. While dour, the sourness that surrounds the declan walsh of your world is not present. "I think I've got this all figured out... but since we have some more time to kill, why not play a little game?"
Detective Declan uncrosses his arms, sliding his eyes over all of you to make sure he has your attention.[break][break]
"What are your theories on who committed this crime? The more details you get, and the closer you are, the more I'll reward you before you leave. A bonus for paying attention." His smile turns to a playful smirk.[break][break]
[break][break]
CLUE RECORD 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!
