backdated to June 3rd, 8:15AM. (VIDEO) TRIGGER WARNINGS, Death, murder, violence, etc

[villainously]

( it's not too long after the girl was found, but long enough. there's no clear evidence as to who did it, as far as Hook can tell, and granted he's probably not the best person to arm the masses... it's just that somebody has to. this is not the first death, apparently, yet it is the first murder (as far as he's aware). and they've all got enough to worry about here, there can't be murders on top of it.

it's rare that a pirate finds people so morally repugnant but once upon a time he left the navy because he found his king deplorable. if nobody else is going to do something, he will; no matter how uncharacteristic it seems, all things considered. )

I don't know who did this, but it was somebody in this hotel. I'm sure they thought they'd get away with it, but they won't. That little girl didn't deserve to die, to be some sick message.

( it doesn't matter that she might come back, not to him. he won't be able to rest, nor function, knowing there is someone roaming the halls willing to murder. it's impossible to say if it was a test, for fun, just for attention, to get a laugh out of the people trapped... it doesn't matter. whoever it was, why they did it, it isn't as important as finding them and making sure it doesn't happen twice. )

Somebody did this, and I say we find out who did it and make sure they can't do it again. Somebody had to have heard something, saw something. There's got to be answers here, and there's nobody but us to make sure this girl gets justice.

If she does come back, I want her to know she's safe from whoever did this to her.

If you heard something, then speak up. Privately, if you prefer, but say something. Or this can and will happen again. If we don't act, trust me, it will. If that's alarming, it bloody should be. Whoever this is won't stop unless we make them.

( he can't be the only one alarmed by this. that wants to do something. he's relying on people being willing to take his side, because he's going to need it to enforce any kind of justice in this place.

and it's more than just that, sadly. why is the pirate giving so many public service announcements? )

Try not to go anywhere alone. Stay with someone you trust, more than one someone if you can manage it. Keep both eyes open and lock your doors. If you feel threatened, be as loud as you can, there's too many of us here not to hear something. These sorts won't stop when they start, and the last thing we need is another test to see what will happen.


( ooc: keep an eye out, there will be a plotting post regarding this sometime tomorrow! )

[Boo. Get off the stage, Hook!]

Well no-one will admit anything and will be doubly careful now you've put that out there.

[villainously]

Right, because not mentioning would leave the child murderer jumping up and down to confess.

shortly after his psa , no further replies after noon

[64th]

I think the staff's responsible. Not that people here aren't capable of murder.

[villainously]

why do you think that?

( look, he's not a fan of the staff either, it just doesn't seem their style. perhaps he's wrong. )

[64th]

I've said from the beginning that this is like an arena. If you don't kill each other in the arena, the arena starts doing killing of it's own.

Can you think of a better way to stir people up and turn them against each other?

[villainously]

what is an arena?
perhaps you're right, but I don't think so. it seems a message, not just to us but the staff as well, that they intend to take advantage of the fact that they can do as they please and not face consequences.

even if you are right, we'd be fools not to look into it.

[the bruise on his temple is a lot more faded by now]

I have a suspect. Italian-descent. Gruff-looking guy. Broad shoulders. Square chin. 5 o'clock shadow. About 6 feet tall.

He's one of the HYDRA agents Skye warned about but it got kind of lost among the dream broadcasts. Why do I think it's him? Because he murdered me the day he arrived. He's well-trained and dangerous.

[villainously]

( honestly, a highly trained murderer going after a little girl? why? for what purpose? )

And you didn't think to mention to the hotel there was a confirmed murderer roaming the halls?

( Hook shakes his head, because that's not the point right now. )

If it was him he needs to be isolated and kept from doing it twice.

[avengeme]

[he didn't want to turn it into a he says she says kind of situation. Admittedly, it was something he should have shared]

That's the plan. He keeps slipping from our grasp but we'll get him.

[Text/Private] I know you're busy, but I just had to

[ukase]

Wow, you are so bitter about that. You need to learn to let things go, Coulson. This obsessing isn't healthy.

[text/[private]

[avengeme]

You'll know when I'm bitter.

[text/[private]

[ukase]

I hope so. I'm looking forward to it.

private

[sheriffing]

Let's say we figure out who did this, then what?

We need a plan for how to proceed, preferably something most people can agree on.

private

[villainously]

I figure once we've got the bastard we can sort out the solution after.
these doors are close to unbreakable, apparently, I'd suggest room arrest.

private

[sheriffing]

Once we've got them, we might end up in more danger.
If it's one of the people we've been warned about, they might have help.

private

[villainously]

that hydra lot, you mean? that fellow up there is throwing accusations, but as far as I can see it could be anyone.

( if we're just going to point fingers at all villains, then he's on the list, too. )

there's too many of us and what, three of them? we have the majority here.

[unbreachable]

What happened?

[ asks the hermit ]

[villainously]

Someone murdered a little girl. Propped her up like a display and screened it for everyone to see to boot.

[unbreachable]

[ he's really glad he missed that video.

But oh man he has such a soft spot for kids the rage is strong in this one. ]

How can I help?

[notafraidofyou]

[Pissed Robin is pissed.]

I checked out her room. Nothing really there except her room key and some missing candy.

But I'm pretty sure no one killed her for some two month old candy, you know?

[But seriously who steals a dead girl's candy? That's just rude.]

[villainously]

No, I doubt that was the reason. Bloody hell.

( just insult to injury to steal from a dead girl. )

Nothing else, footprints or the like?

[notafraidofyou]

[He lets out a short, humorless laugh.]

I wish. No, there wasn't anything there. I mean, it looked like her stuff had been searched through, which is I guess how whoever it was found her candy, but there wasn't anything else in her room.

[una_persson]

I think ... I think I may have seen something. It may be relevant, though I'm not sure.

perma-private

[villainously]

Whatever it is, I say it's worth hearing.

[una_persson]

One of the men here—I didn't see his face, but I did see that he had something in his pocket. A large handkerchief, perhaps. Nothing that remarkable; simply the cloth caught my eye.
