Murderverse Falls

[TenOfSwords13]

That was a bad fall! But yeah... electrocution, did you say? That's odd!

>Was it stormy weather last night? Could Maple have been struck by lightning?

[Kennifer]

>Was it stormy weather last night? Could Maple have been struck by lightning? (Jimothy)

You recall the weather last night being clear and dry.

[Whistle]

Jake enters the cabin, looking dazed... but sees the body and gets startled awake.
Holy shit!!
> what do you see around that could have caused scarring like that? even improvised?

[Kennifer]

> what do you see around that could have caused scarring like that? even improvised? (Jake)

It doesn't look like there's anything in the cabin that could've been used.

[Oggy123]

> Any clues outside the cabin?

[Kennifer]

> Any clues outside the cabin? (Kirby)

You're having a bit of trouble concentrating.

[NebulaChimera2211]

Yeesh.

> Is there anything noteworthy in the mess that was Maple's room?

[Oggy123]

> Again, try to concentrate and look for any clues just outside Maple's cabin.

[Kennifer]

> Is there anything noteworthy in the mess that was Maple's room? (Adrianna)

You trip over the mess and land face first in a pile of debris.

> Again, try to concentrate and look for any clues just outside Maple's cabin. (Kirby)

Nothing's really coming to you yet; maybe you got distracted by Adrianna tripping.

[NebulaChimera2211]

Ow! Damn it...

> Get up, then search the other cabins for a possible murder weapon.

[Caret]

Eki and Anya jump back a bit upon seeing Maple's corpse.

"So. I-It was true after all."

Anya takes a deep breath. She's been desensitized to this kind of stuff. "By the Goddess's name! That... that looked absolutely brutal. I hoped this killing nonsense was just a one-time thing, but... welp. Rest in peace, Maple." Anya wipes away a tear.

"Anyways... w-we need to investigate this, now. We should establish a lead at minimum, unless we want to... wake up to the sight of more corpses."

> what was the weather like last night?

[Caret]

> wait we already know what the weather was like. this smells awfully a lot like magic. search the town for any spellbooks, weird artifacts, etc.

[PointMaid]

> Get up, then search the other cabins for a possible murder weapon. (Adrianna)

You don't immediately find anything that fits the bill in other cabins

> what was the weather like last night?
> wait we already know what the weather was like. this smells awfully a lot like magic. search the town for any spellbooks, weird artifacts, etc. (Eki and Anya)

Umm... this town does have a penchant for weird artifacts and stuff. There's a lot of that. Whether any of them were used and/or even actually work? Hard to say.

[PointMaid]

...Well, I've got to fill yet another room, that X.C.O.P.Y. kid packed up early... Made a whole song and dance about having to go deal with something about his girlfriend... Maybe I should be more careful about renting to kids, but then again if I didn't, I'm sure someone would and I'd lose out on...

Ed stops in his tracks as he sees Maple's door wide open and what's in there

Well that's not good

[Cutegirl920fire]

After chatting with Neptune, Bunyan and Babe head back to their cabin and sleep for the rest of the night.OOC note: I got permission from Neptune's player, Zanreo, to make the convo between Bunyan and Neptune happening offscreen a thing, on the RP's Discord

After waking up, Bunyan gently nudges Babe awake.


"Good morning, Babe~"


Babe yawns in a cutesy manner, making Bunyan giggle. Bunyan grabs her axe and exits the door, with Babe following her.


...That's when Bunyan eventually finds out that Maple has been murdered.


"Quoi?!" Bunyan gasped. "Maple's dead!"


She turned to face the others. "I take we don't have a lead yet, right?"

And now time to investigate.

> Investigate the other cabins to search for evidence.

[PointMaid]

> Investigate the other cabins to search for evidence. (Bunyan)

You aren't seeing anything at a quick glance you can pinpoint as suspicious in other cabins.

...I hope you and Adrianna are speed demons going through all the cabins quickly, though, and willing to face the wrath of your fellow campers and Ed for going through every cabin with no previous suspicions. Or warrant, but hey, nobody seems to be too fussed about the police here.

[Oggy123]

> Try to investigate just outside Maple's cabin for clues.

[PointMaid]

> Try to investigate just outside Maple's cabin for clues. (Kirby)

...Kirby slips in the mud before he can even begin to investigate the area

[Oggy123]

"Hey, a little help here?"

> Keep trying to investigate the area outside the cabin for clues.

[Kennifer]

> Keep trying to investigate the area outside the cabin for clues. (Kirby)

Ah there you go, there appears to be footprints in the mud, headed towards the woods.

[Oggy123]

"Footprints?"

> Investigate and follow the footprints.

[PointMaid]

> Investigate and follow the footprints.

You're definitely seeing something not natural out this way... but it's out of the corner of your eye, what is it?

[Oggy123]

> What is it?

[Zanreo]

"Yawn... good morning... whoa,what happened? Neptune looks around her as the others seem busy investigating something.

[Oggy123]

"Someone just... just died!" Kirby tells Neptune.
