Ding... Dong... Bing... Bong...
The chiming of a large grandfather clock sounds throughout the house, signalling the end of the night.
And with that, the game is over! Let's tally up the scores...
...
...hm. Well, it would appear you have all chosen the coward's route in this game, with a score of 0 to 0! A tie? Nay, a lack of participation? No reward for a winner, no punishment for a loser... that sounds fair, doesn't it? It seems none of us get to fulfill our wagers. A pity, but the show must go on. Alright, everyone! Gather in the—
"Guys! GUYS! We've got two more!"
Battler's voice echoes across the house and field, alerting everyone as he runs through the house. As more and more people gather in the entrance hall, they do a headcount. Disgusted faces turn away from the living room as the guests see Rei inside, wincing in pain, tears streaming down her face as Skelly tends to her mangled leg from which her shin bone protrudes awkwardly. Her nonetheless accounted for, all that leaves is... Stanley, Yuriko, and Mizuki.
"Help! Help!"
Hm? The guests all pause at the sound of the distant voice. Several trickle through the dining room and into the greenhouse, from which they see something sticking out of the ground in the graveyard. With a start, they realize someone has been buried out there. They run out to find Mizuki buried up to her neck, a large, bleeding lump on her forehead, crying out for help. She's hurriedly dug from the earth and dragged out, filthy with soil. The guests, minus Rei, all follow Battler upstairs to the third floor and into the master bedroom. Upon opening the walk-on closet, the air is suffused with the sharp, metallic stench of blood.
Hesitantly, fearfully, the door to the closet is opened, and Battler parts the multitude of clothes hung there, revealing the horrible sight of two fresh bodies.
Yuriko, the horror enthusiast, and Stanley, the Ultimate Button-Pusher, lie dead in a heap, their torsos covered in a viscous coating of blood.
An old grandfather clock chimes out, signalling the end of the night.
Now that's what I call a manhunt.
Uh oh!
This time around, please PM your investigation locations to Peregrine via DRG or Discord. Both bodies count at one search area. You're welcome! Feel free to use this thread to RP and decide amongst yourselves who will search where! But be careful, a murderer may be among you... You will have (roughly) 24 hours from the creation of this thread with which to investigate.
As always, you have 3 credits with which to investigate. 1 credit will Scan an area, 2 credits will In-Depth search an area, and 1 additional credit will allow you to differentiate evidence of a phantasmal origin in any single area of investigation. Don't let the ghosts fool you!
Like last round, each ghost gets to select 1 area to tamper with, creating (or destroying) evidence at their ghostly whim.
Happy hunting, happy haunting!
To update:
Bellamy has some tiny bits of paper stuck to his shirt.
Mizuki is stained with dirt from the neck down, and has a large bruise on her forehead.
Mao is holding the camcorder, and looks rather queasy. He seems restless.
Tomiko has a small amount of vomit on her shirt.
Battler's hands are covered in blood. He's rubbing a bruise on the back of his head. He also has a stab wound in his shoulder, which you can see through where his shirt was torn by the dagger and the blood seeping through his shirt.
J@N3 appears to have suffered a similar head injury. He is in possession of Rei's wheelchair, along with its contents.
Vee is holding a paper snowflake rather protectively.
Daisy's eyes are red; she has clearly been crying. Luigi is holding her hand, shivering.
Rei is currently not present, and has suffered a grievous injury to her leg.
