WEEK 4 - April 27th

Week 4: Investigation

A late frost has settled over Cartesio. Ice clings to the grass, to the variety show stage, not yet melted by the sun. How could it be, as it's yet to rise Friday morning?

It is only technically Friday, as the planned variety show reaches into its very final hour. Nearly everything on the schedule's been completed, and the cleanup process has begun.

That's probably why no one expects it, not now. Not this early. It's hard to miss, whether you're attending the show or getting some rest. After all, the sound, it comes from somewhere close to the motel. Somewhere close to the show.

Three gun shots ring out at one in the morning, echoing through the park. Something has gone very wrong.

[ yell heah ]

[cartesio]

[ You'll find both the sign-up sheet for the variety show and a copy of the show schedule. ]

[odasaku]

[ oh Boy.

alright, is there anything else on his person? any contusions or other injuries? ]

[cartesio]

[ No injuries. Nothing else on his person...but there is something else near his body. ]

[odasaku]

[ ohhh dear. he’s gonna go check that out! what is it? ]

[cartesio]

[ A half-eaten burger! It lays abandoned on the ground. ]

[odasaku]

[ well there’s the answer to what jughead was eating at the time of death.

is there anything else near the body? bullets? caskets? ]

[cartesio]

[ No, but backup a moment! The burger needs a bit closer examination, because there's something strange about it. ]

[odasaku]

[ oh man. he’ll take the burger, examining it closely. what’s off? does it give off the same smell? ]

[cartesio]

[ First of all, it's probably a little weird that this burger has two different kinds of cheese. One is a fancy brie, and the other is plasticy American. ]

[odasaku]

[ well that is a little weird. why mix the two of them together?

will he yield any results by looking closer at the cheeses? or is there something else that’s weird with the burger? ]

[cartesio]

[ The proof is, in fact, in the pudding! ...Er, cheese. Particularly the American cheese, which is strangely powdery. ]

[odasaku]

[ powdery? he’ll take an even closer look at that. or, well, a sniff. what does that smell like? ]

[cartesio]

[ It's odorless. ]

[odasaku]

[ if only he could taste it.

is it powdery as in theres powder on top of it or powdery as in it’ll crumble in his hand if hes not careful enough? ]

[cartesio]

[ The first! The cheese itself is still intact, but there's this...strange, white powder on it. ]

[odasaku]

[ wonderful.

is there something else in the burger that’s off? ]

[cartesio]

[ Nope! Just a sad, discarded burger. ]

[Once the people have evacuated, Kino makes her way over to the body, pausing only once it's clearly in sight. She crouches to get a good look at those bullet wounds in particular, eyes narrowing.]
