THE TRIAL INVESTIGATION.

[thegardeners]

[On Friday morning, for any of the early birds, they may find a note lying outside their door:

I think someone’s after me, if someone breaks into my room I’ll run to the lake! Please help look after me! ~ The cutest in the world, Cagliostro

There’s a smiley face at the end, along with tiny hearts. (You can choose to have your character to run into it if you wish-- some were purposefully delivered, and some were blown by the wind. The general idea is they can run into one easily, around the Pagoda.)

However, if you look at Floor 17...

Well. For now, everything seems peaceful. What do you want to do today?

Investigate?]

[ Well, he looks at the letter ... really.

He then decides to descend down to Floor 17 from his own floor. Is there anything immediately noticeable on his casual walk? ]

[thegardeners]

[He will indeed find leaves, sticks and flower petals scattered around. As in, more than usual. Some amount of dirt, too. Something's been going on here, and apparently only on Floor 17 for some reason, because the stairs themselves are swept clean.]

[shikiori_no_hane]

[ That's really strange. He was thinking, judging by the cheery nature of the letter (despite how someone said there might be someone after them) that it might be a big prank. Well, anything else here that is notable besides the surprising amount of leaves, sticks, and flower petals? ]

[thegardeners]

[The door seems to have its lock perfectly intact. However, the door is ajar...?]

[shikiori_no_hane]

[ Well, he'll stroll right into the room then. He won't bother asking if anyone's in here because it looks open and presumably the person left, but... what does he immediately notice upon entry? ]

[thegardeners]

[It's a fucking mess.

There's dirt, leaves, petals, all that was outside-- but also lots of wood shavings, like thin pieces of bark peeled off trees and scattered across the floor. There are a lot of peach skins thrown around too.

Goddamn.]

[shikiori_no_hane]

...Someone sure had a party in here.

[ He'll just step around the mess in here. And look around, nudging some of the leaves around. Anything else in here besides all of this? ]

[thegardeners]

[Nope! The bed seems perfectly immaculate, though. It's even been made.]

[shikiori_no_hane]

[ That's weird, actually, considering all of the mess inside of the room.

Nothing under the bed or anything? ]

[thegardeners]

[Nope! However, the bed has clearly been slept in before. There's still some hair on it, somewhat crumbled mattress, the works.]

[shikiori_no_hane]

[ Well, if that's all, he's going to just leave the room and head downstairs for a nice 'walk' outside. ]

[thegardeners]

[ Have fun walking down 17 flights of stairs. ]
