Ask Detective Orpheus

A story of an astray detective stuck within a manor. Asks are open. Inbox : 5

[adriftdetective]

The detective ponders as his eyes landed on a peculiar machine on the desk, its screen shining brightly within the dark room. He felt drawn towards the illuminating screen, and sat down on the chair next to him.

It took quite some time to learn how to properly use this... machine. I’ve only begun with my investigation inside this manor, and yet it brings an overwhelming amount of things to unpack already. I cannot help but wonder how this piece of technology can exist here. I haven’t seen anything like it before, either... This case only keeps getting confusing...

Nevertheless, maybe using this can help me with my case. A personal diary, mayhaps.

[Asks are now open for Detective Orpheus.]

(How much would Orpheus go insane if a hunter or a survivor talked to him?? — mod of ask-the-wolf-idv)

[ Mod speaking here. Well, it would likely depend on the character themselves. Detective Orpheus would be likely be wary of hunters, but would also question the survivors as when he reads through some of their diaries, as some of them are morally questionable. I wouldn’t say he gets insane, but if it’s slowly bothering him and he loses grip of his reality, then it’s a possibility. ]

Update.

[Mod of this blog speaking, OOC.]

[ Hello! I’m not dead - I’m really sorry for the long absence. It’s finally Christmas break here, meaning I can actually continue this blog again! It was hard trying to draw when I have so much work to worry about, and a lot of responsibilities came up in my life that I had to take a step back and take a break from. Will be answering the questions as Orpheus soon, expect some art experiments here and there as well for the answered asks that will be made.

Detective Orpheus deserves better. NetEase and even the IDV fandom really ignores him a lot... Since I’m also speaking now, I’d like to thank people for actually following this blog! I never expected this to get some traction especially on how very underrated Orpheus is within the fandom. I really appreciate that you guys take the time to not only wait for me or even ask my interpretation of Orpheus some questions, but to see what I have in store for all of you. It means a lot <3  Will be answering the questions soon! Asks are open again! I’m really sorry for the late late responses;; ]

It is quite interesting to see these, despite these being artworks and paintings... It looks quite similar to the manor, isn’t it? This is the closest that I could show how its interiors are quite like - dusty, deserted, a mess, but quite antique - especially its furniture. 

[adriftdetective]

Hey Detective!! What paranormal stuff has happened to you?

I do appreciate the question, though. I do think that these things might be useful in the future, if I only discover more things about the case. I can’t help but think that all of the things happening to me right now, however, could mean something. I have read somewhere that dreams has meaning and symbolism within them - maybe I should try going into it. But I don’t want to be too distracted from the case itself, but it’s worth noting these little things, isn’t it?  Something about the young girl feels important, however. She almost looks like the girl that I have a picture of - now I wonder - what was up with that dream...?

The adrift detective awakens from his slumber.

I apologize for my absence. I have been doing some detective work and investigation outside of this. Not much progress, but I think it counts to piecing a part of the puzzle in some way. I will be answering the other questions issued to me as soon as I can. Again, I apologize for my unprofessional behaviour... 

[adriftdetective]

Uh...question Detective. How long have you been in the manor? And also..uh, have you been eating and if so, what? From what I remember, the manor is mostly cobwebs and dust!

I also try to minimize the food and only eat them in chunks so I don’t waste or eat too much. I can survive without too much food, so there’s that. Don’t worry about me, I’ll do fine.  Having to investigate in a dusty and seemingly abandoned manor is also quite difficult... it took me a while to properly clean up some things since there are quite a lot of dust and cobwebs, as you said correctly. But again, I can live with it, since the investigation is what I am focusing on right now.

[adriftdetective]

Detective!!! Are you alone? Have you met anyone in the manor?

I did do my research upon the manor’s history, it was even known as quite an infamous estate among the townspeople here, talking about all kinds of paranormal phenomena within it. I do wonder about the mystery surrounding around it, though. But yes. I am sadly a one-man team within this investigation. I have yet to meet someone within this investigation.

[adriftdetective]

Did you brought food to the manor? I'm pretty sure that dying of starvation isn't part of your investigation

Nevertheless, if it ever came to an emergency, maybe I will attempt a breakout from the manor - if it ever came to that, at least. Don’t worry, I don’t really need much food to eat, but I am definitely making sure I don’t push myself too hard. 

[adriftdetective]

Detective, what is this case of yours? Can you divulge any details as of yet?

I’ve been pondering about the endless possibilities of such question. Of course, I cannot make connections of which without proper deduction or evidence. The details are quite difficult to piece together, but here it is so far: The entries that I have gathered so far are connected to each other, all of which having somehow interacted in one way or another. The game required diary entries and had a ludicrous yet large prize to bring forth to a winner. A gardener, a doctor, a thief and a lawyer - with a bandaged hunter, all forced to work together. Needless to say, it is quite a strange game... I cannot help but wonder what purpose it brings to exist. There are still more entries that I need to read thoroughly, as shockingly, many has participated in this “game”.  Unfortunately, it is the only thing that I have discovered so far. I have no luck onto finding any connections or clues towards the missing girl. I can only hope that she is safe and sound, and that I could find and save her in time. I can only imagine how a child may react to being stuck in such a place like this...

[adriftdetective]

What do you do in the Manor?

I have explore it soon too, because staying within a room is not going to help me solve the case itself. It is just difficult to go through and read each survivor’s diary due to the overwhelming amount of them. It is also because the manor itself it is massive as well, and it will take time for me to fully explore it since I am only one mere person. It’d be nice if I had someone here with me to help...

[adriftdetective]

Do you prefer coffee or wine? xdd

Would someone really believe me with that one part...? Probably not... Wine also tastes peculiar, now that I haven’t been drinking for almost a week. Coffee definitely tastes better than wine. It is more calming and soothing than wine itself, and I need it for my investigation case now than ever, too. I’ve been trying to quit drinking after all, so it helps me get through with it.

[adriftdetective]

Hii, How are you? :D

It does not help that the case requires me to go through lots of diaries, of people I do not even know. It will take quite a while to even get to the bottom of it, but it would be worth it, I am sure of it, even if it is stressing...
