INVESTIGATION 5

It's a quiet night as the silence remains unbroken. Without the toll of the clock tower, only a choice few will be able to discern the time as the hands on all four faces remain fixed at 9:27. And yet, even those without any means of checking the time will probably get the picture: it's been four consecutive weeks of death already, so what makes this one any different? So even though the lines between days may blur and tangle together, time still marches on and deadlines continue to draw closer.

The time is ████. Is there a reason to be out in the streets right now? Maybe.

(frozen comment) TIME

[umbralant]

[For those who have pocketwatches, it is currently 12:30 AM.]

[bawcock]

[ Ass o'clock you say?? All right, cool, sounds like a good time for a stroll!

Anything out of the ordinary around the arcade? ]

[umbralant]

[Ass o'clock is always a great time to go for a stroll and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. But no, there's nothing out of the ordinary near the arcade so your games are safe for this week!]

[moonfang]

[ass o clock is too early. Zangetsu is passed out in his beanbag nest in the arcade with a cheerful tune playing from the TV in front of him. Sleep tight, Krakow.]

[deadlygoals]

[ After everything going on, him and Rean decided to do one last patrol. Time to leave the clergy housing. Dazai will head towards the auto shop. ]

[umbralant]

[Thankfully, the arcade is not on fire (again), so sleep tight Zangetsu!]

[reanbeans]

[ Maybe it's time for one last night patrol. As Dazai heads elsewhere, tiem to check out the opera house. ]

[bawcock]

[ Meta gets it!! Tho this sure is some thief logic right here, maybe he'll just pop by somewhere and steal something—

Or maybe he'll continue to wander around and think about things he could be looting?? You don't know, nobody knows! Forward...!! His next stop is toward the bookshop in the main square! ]

[umbralant]

[There is nothing weird as he exits the clergy housing, but as he goes to the auto shop, Dazai will notice that the door is open.]

[raventhaw]

[ holy gods of light and darkness y'all, did someone do a murder at midnight again -- well at least she's actually awake for this... whatever time it is anyway.

she's going to head towards the art museum. ]

[umbralant]

[After being messed around with for like three weeks early on, the opera house remains mercifully untouched! Hurray!]

[deadlygoals]

[ Oh this is fine. Time to go inside of the auto shop. ]

Dist~ Are you still in here?

[ Is he living in there for real ]

[umbralant]

[Nothing here but more postmodern pieces than you can shake a stick (sword??) at. It may be best to go hunting elsewhere!]

[raventhaw]

[ fine, fine! moving somewhere else then. let's check out the football field. ]

[umbralant]

[Erik can continue to go on his merry way and possibly loot things because there is nothing unusual on the way, nor is there anything to note in the bookshop. Maybe the third time's the charm...???]

[umbralant]

[It's actually super dark inside the autoshop right now, so he won't really be able to see much unless he brought something else along, but! Either way, the only response he'll get is the pervasive smell of motor oil and grease alongside an echo of his own voice.]

[umbralant]

[No angry marquees for you today, and there's nothing suspicious about the field itself either!]

[raventhaw]

[ thank god. well...might as well get a workout in while we're on the Hunt, so let's go to the gym! ]

[deadlygoals]

[ lol lets light fireworks- no. Not doing that. He's been spending time watching Dist in here a couple of times, so he's going to go wander to the light switch to turn it on. Hewwo lights are you working? ]

[bawcock]

[ Or he's going to end up circling around whatever's important, which is fun too!! Clearly he really doesn't wanna see a body today and, truly, who could blame him??

Okay, making his way to the lover's bridge!! ]

[galrarm]

[ the botanic garden is a nice place to chill! anything going on here? ]

[umbralant]

[The lights...! Are not working at all, no matter how many times he flicks at them. Looks like someone didn't pay their electricity bill.]

[umbralant]

[Fair enough, because bodies are unpleasant even on the best of days so obviously that's why Erik doesn't find any on the Lover's Bridge! This is what you call luck, probably.]

[umbralant]

[There's the gym! Go ahead and workout at midnight like some sort of fitness maniac, Raven, you're definitely free to do so -- no corpses in sight!]

[deadlygoals]

[ DID YALL BREAK THE AUTOSHOP AFTER THE DEAD FIXED IT

okay he's going to pull out his pocket candle and set it inside the jar he carries just in case. time to light it up.

There is light now. Let's get back to checking stuff out. What can he see now? He's going to start by the entrance and start heading towards the back. ]
