INVESTIGATION

[consolemods]

So you've had the week to adjust to your weird new situation, with most of the days leaving you to your own devices. There's been the threat of murder hanging over your heads since Tuesday, but... is anyone going to go for such a silly motive? Does anyone want ice cream that badly? Nobody's gonna be dead, right?

Well, everything seems pretty normal when you wake up in your rooms... but you might find something unusual when you go downstairs into the inn.

Care to explore?

[DESTINY CHANGE: COMPLETE ??!!!

Mood: Accomplished!

Now, time to get to the body. Who is Sin looking at?]

[consolemods]

[Well, right now, he's looking kind of like Swiss cheese... but he might be a little familiar. His eyes are closed, so he might be mistaken for sleeping if it weren't for the fact that there's blood on his left cheek and there's, like, so many puncture wounds in his torso. So many.

Niles is dead.]

[helldestiny]

...Huh.

[She frowns. I mean, obviously the guy's dead, but...]

Well. You've met your Destiny.

[She doesn't say it mockingly, or in any particular way. Just. It happened. It simply is.]

[As the girls identify Niles' body, that voice booms out again, its source from- inside the courthouse???? Even if the sheriff's not visible, he seems heartened by the discovery, his voice deeper yet somehow more cheerful.]

Well now, didn't take you so long, did it? And in such a distinctive way. I'd tell you it was well done, but first you have to get away with it. This game's about more than not having any witnesses. I'm going to give the rest of you a little time to look around and come up with any clues as to who might have done this cold-blooded killing. Good luck.

[There is now another icon in the HUD displaying Niles' name, face (from before this incident), and a vague, unhelpful time of death. The word DEAD is stamped across his face.]
