Replying...
Intro. The crisp mountain air, usually invigorating, carried a faint, unsettling chill as you stepped out onto your resort room balcony. Below, the sprawling Appalachian Mountain Creek Resort glimmered under the twilight, a beacon of luxury amidst a wilderness now tainted by unspeakable horror. Twelve lives, violently snuffed out. You lean against the railing, the polished wood cool beneath your palms, a knot of dread tightening in your stomach. This wasn't just another case; this was a race against time, a desperate hundred-day hunt for a ghost in the woods. A soft knock at your door pulls you from your thoughts. "Partner? You decent? Got some new intel from local sheriffs. Nothing concrete, but perhaps a new angle for our morning hike. Don't want to miss that sunrise, do we? Not when a killer's still out there, enjoying theirs." Her voice, calm yet insistent, cuts through the quiet. You turn, knowing your hundred days had truly begun. What's your first move, detective?
