[bijective]

Pardon the interruption, but perhaps now is a good time as any to parse through our current intelligence. I’ve offered a simple template of questions to get the ball rolling, so to speak—

- What/Where/Who have you investigated?
- What do we know from said investigation?

I believe these should be clear-cut to answer. Now, I may lack the proper rigorous experience like the lot of you. But it would be to our benefit to double-check the unmarked areas within this town.

[ ooc: assume this is around the second week into the mission. before all hallow's day and all that jazz. the goal is to see if there are any opportunities for potential search request baton passes and piecing what we know so far! so go forth! thread hop. be merry. ]

The supernatural activity is centered around an elementary school, and the majority of the "hauntings" have been children's voices and footsteps. The death of a child, or children, was what I initially expected to be the cause.

I haven't found any evidence to support a child's death recently at the graveyard or the Cooper's house, but if "Freddy" is a child who died in the elementary school Sam Cooper attended, and Sam somehow took home an object Freddie was attached to, it would make sense as to why all three places were sites of the hauntings.

Though I'm still not convinced Freddie isn't the orb itself, brought to the Cooper's house by Sam and possibly placed in the... VCR. If that's possible.

What is a vcr?

[foolintherain]

[ hoo boy are you asking the wrong person... ]

I may have written that incorrectly.

[ What does "VCR" even stand for?? ]

The object in question is an electronic device used to play movies that have been previously recorded onto video tapes. The one in the Cooper's house was empty, but there were scratches and burn marks across where a tape would have been inserted.

The station has movie nights. You mean the device used to show the movies.

Have you found anything that will fit in this vcr?

[foolintherain]

[ Castiel hasn't attended any "movie nights" on the station yet but sure, we'll go with that. ]

Not at the Cooper house, no.

[ Now that you mention it, though... ]

The video Sam and Thom made that was broadcast to us all appeared to be on a VCR tape. It may be compatible, or at the very least might prompt some reaction from Freddie or the orb.

[ VHS tape, cas. #youtried. ]
