INVESTIGATION 1

The clock strikes eight. The intermittent showers that dominated most of yesterday had, at some point during the night, escalated to a complete downpour that drenched the streets. Maybe that's why the morning might almost feel refreshing today—while it can't be said that the birds are chirping and the sun is shining brightly, the breeze is cool without being frigid while the sky is bright with the half moon.

Nevertheless. The deadline for Tuesday's motive was laid down as Friday, and amongst the pleasant earthy smell of the rain may be a tinge of something else.

Well now, how shall you spend this morning?

[ Mikami shall spend the early morning leaving his room and heading to the kitchen for a brief breakfast. IS THIS SAFE TO DO? ]

[umbralant]

[You are entirely safe, Mikami, there are no dead bodies to trip over on the way. Enjoy the food!!]

[inordertobelieve]

[ This is wonderful. He can live happily unaware of crime for another 20 minutes, unless someone bursts in screaming now.

After he has had a few bites, it's time to head to the candle shop to up his stock. He has to cross the main square to do so, of course. ]

[raventhaw]

[ we're spending our morning in clock tower. how's the first floor looking? ]

[umbralant]

[...Well about that uh. Depending on which direction Raven's coming from, she probably won't even make it that far without seeing something very interesting along the way. After all, it's pretty hard to miss all the stuff scattered about in front of the clock tower in the main square.

>Move closer?]

[deadlygoals]

[ He's in the Clergy Housing, heading out to walk towards the Opera House. Anything on the way? ]

[umbralant]

[Well, there is a little something that Dazai may see as he exits the Clergy Housing...]

[baitless]

[has Seteth prayed enough? hm. Probably not. Time to go back to church!]

[umbralant]

[Seteth should probably pray more because this unholy sight is happening right now.]

[reanbeans]

[ He's doing his morning rounds. How's the tram station? ]

[umbralant]

[The tram station is safe and thankfully body-free!]

[youspinmeknightround]

[Let's get some bookstore coffee...]

[umbralant]

[He can still get bookstore coffee but it's a coin toss to if he'd want to after seeing this in front of the clock tower.]

ANNOUNCEMENT

[dominioned]

[ From the very top of the clocktower stands a very familiar familiar, a pop of yellow bright among the dreary scene. The clock rings once, twice, and then three times before the man there speaks: clear and loud enough to those in the town square. ]

Isn't it wonderful that one among you was punctual? Rejoice, for your loved ones are safe from harm at the cost of one life: Elliot Schafer is dead.

Of course, this is only the beginning but all things in order—you may investigate as you like until we summon you again in a few hours time. Or you may retire and go about your business, but surely you're fond of justice in some form or another?

[youspinmeknightround]

[ok yeah no anger is not in check]

What would you know about justice?!

AUTOPSY FILE

[dominioned]

Ah, and we have another gift for you. Not everyone is a medical expert, and even those who are can leave much to be desired. In the lobby of the opera house, you'll find something to aid you.

[ In the lobby is a stack of 26 pamphlets containing the following: ]

AUTOPSY REPORT

Victim: Elliot
Location: Outside the clock tower
Estimated Time of Death: 12 AM
Wound Diagram: x

[baitless]

Ah, yes, making us play amateur sleuth to a murder you orchestrated. I am not sure why I didn’t expect it.

[time to angrily flounce on off.]

[p_q]

One life. Quite generous of you.

[The most deadpan driveby comment ever, I guess.]

[drydrown]

[So just because someone's gotta, and because it's easier to focus on this than Elliot's...that - ]

Dare I ask why we should bother? Surely, appeals to justice will be enough reason for some, but as you've acknowledged several of us already have what we want out of this.

[notbymyside]

[Yes hello Rembrandt, Ango has a question.]

Do you already know who did this?
