I've always wanted to visit Rogueport, especially with a group of mystery hunters like you all! I've got my detective costume all dry-cleaned and everything, just for the occasion! Now… I promised Sonic I'd bring him a souvenir or two… or five… anyone know where they serve chili dogs in Rogueport?

Glitz yoshi see? Nice to meet you my boy, let me give you the old sniff test, *SNIFF* *SNIFF*, Indeed my Nose knows best, from your heavy body odor you fight hard and quick, possibly due to your many years in the Glitz Pitt, but your riseing in the ranks, since the deodorant your using is a more expensive brand, not super fancy but definitely worth a few coins.

So, the rogues are back again. Hmph. Can't say I'm surprised. Piantas, Robbos, X-Nauts, whatever that one skirmish was five years back - all just different flavors of the same crud that's run this town since day one. I've seen 'em come and go many times over the years. Been part of some things I'm... not proud of. Doesn't matter what form it takes, it's all just about the same to me.
If you ask me, the Restoration Committee's full of nothing but hot air. They can try to gussy this place up all they like, but it's still just a layer of paint on the same old filth. It's a lost cause.
But that star... It gives me a bad feeling. This place may be a cesspool, but at least it's home. I suppose I can lend a paw - I've seen every trick in the book by now. Whatever's going on here, it won't get by old Chester.
*sigh* I'm getting too old for this crap.

What can I get you?
A drink, some snacks?
Well, it's all mine.

Although night had fallen in Rogueport, the little town was bustling with activity, with the new investigators busying themselves with introductions, box-opening, and souvenir shopping. And from the second story of an innocuous-looking building, a man found himself quite bothered by it all.
Ho ho! What an awful racket... It seems my would-be colleagues are quite giddy about this case. Just as a child cannot lay their head to rest the day before Christmas, so too these investigators can't seem to wait to get started on the case. I admire their enthusiasm, but it makes things harder for those of us who wish to relax.
A town shrouded in gloomy shadow. A Dark Star in the sky. And a collection of the world's finest detectives, all here for a chance at solving the incredible mystery. The man had heard such stories before, of course. For example, the tale of the detectives who went deep into the Amazon Jungle to investigate a paranormal phenomenon, only to be pushed back by an alleged pack of ravenous wolves. While that was the official explanation, told as a footnote to a greater story, there had been murmurs of foul play among the investigators as being the true reason for the expedition's failure. And even in this very town, there was the incident which propelled a certain investigator... the very same investigator who was also betrayed by several of his colleagues. Indeed, in situations such as these, it seems unwise to make friends. For wherever mystery lies, treachery is not far behind. No matter how tantalizing the promise of riches or fame, such an investigation was surely doomed to end with bloodshed.
You might think that this man, with his expert analysis, would go out and warn them, tell them of the almost certain tragedy to come. But, he simply isn't that sort of man. Any detective worth their badge would be able to see this coming, he reasoned, and besides, he'd have to go to the bother of getting dressed and going outside. The night was already far spent, and morning would soon be upon them. The introductions could wait. Let the children have their fun, while they still can. Christmas morning would soon be upon them, and the "gift" of a lifetime was surely going to follow, whether they were warned of it or not...
...And also, I just want to spend some time reading, while I still have the time. I don't want to get behind on my favourite manga, do I now?

: Daughter of the Kiksprekan - the Ancestral Speaker - long have I dwelt 'neath the earth, wandering through the caverns from which a dark presence has for a millennium pulsed. Above, I have ventured sparsely. In the underneath, like affords respect to like. Strange minds do not harry one another, permitting that I may hear clearly the wills of the maodiwe - those which, I believe, your people call "gods".: I have borne many daughters, not all so wise as to survive in a world dangerous to larvae. Only one daughter of mine survives to tread upon the stonepaths - perhaps because she was wise enough to seek the advice of her mother, hoho! It is not the custom of moths to grow attached to our offspring, but... in truth, she is the light of my life. You should meet her, nose-y one. To see her elation upon harpooning the white squid of the whaleroad, how can one not feel a joy and pride?: Not so long ago, she ventured above the earth, hearing that the Tribe of Rogue was embroiled in another of their endless conflicts. Why this one, with its detectives and dinosaurs and scientists, drew her attention, even the entosaiwe will not tell me, but she was intent upon intervening. I have not seen her since, but I am certain she will return any moment now.: It is for her sake that I now emerge. The maodiwe are most concerned with the emergence of a foul star and the blasphemous actions of the chirurgeons. Much is strange about this conflict compared to its endless predecessor. It is as if the stakes have risen. A darkness threatens to envelop this dwellingport. This may be but one settlement of many... but it is the only one she has ever known. It is her home. I am Prophetess first and mother second, yes, but what mother would I be if I were not to render it safer for her?: That is why I now emerge, nose-y one. If the words of the entosaiwe might hold the secret to driving threats from this town, then I shall be their sprekan.

Woah, a "private sniffstigator"? And I thought the Chaotix were a weird bunch! Sniffer's your name, correct? I bet you've been a great help in "sniffing" out a mystery! Ha ha ha!

I have certainly never expected to see a group of people as varied as this in one place. A large crustacean, a two-tailed canine, and even a sentient pair of nostrils. Interesting.
I am Xzzwls, also here for the same reasons. I hope for this to go as smoothly as possible.

Indeed I am see, the work of any detective is never done, especially since it seems like there's crimals popping up left and right all round nowadays see? And from the smell of you ( @Troy McClure ) my furry friend, you seem to be a mechanic correct? The smell of burnt wires, grease, and strangely mint, waft from you like a cloud of confidence, piercing through the chaos.

Meanwhile, in the middle of the night...
The Investigators who had arrived in Rogueport as reinforcements were taking advantage of their moment of freedom, using the time to get acquainted before turning in for the night. The following day promised to be a busy one: They were to attend a conference with the Rogueport Restoration Committee chaired by Goomberto, before formally beginning the investigation of the ominous Dark Crystal Star that was hanging in the sky. A phenomenon that might be linked to the strange shadow now draping the town in gloom.
Yet, things would not go exactly as planned. Late that night, at the inn, as one of the Investigators slept soundly, a shape within the darkness, slowly crept closer…

Christmas, it seemed, had come early. The dawn had not yet broken, and yet some of the investigators were in a flurry, crying out about a murderer. Well, it was to be expected, after all, even if the schedule wasn't quite to his expectation. It seemed that he wouldn't have time to read this morning's Shonen Jump releases.
Standing up, the man got himself dressed, putting on his signature hat, and made his way downstairs. Exiting the building in which he was staying, he stood outside and addressed the investigators.
Good morning, everyone. There seems to be a bit of commotion. Now, since we're all investigators, why don't we take a moment to look at this calmly and rationally? There has yet to be a report with details of the alleged incident, so let's not work ourselves into a tizzy over a mystery to which we do not yet have all the pieces.
Thinking of a way to reign in their panic, he looked around for a meaningless distraction with which to occupy their attention. With a sly smile, he called out to one of them...
Sir, I don't mean to alarm you, but it appears you've already lost a leg, a tail and your hat. At this rate, you could be the next victim. Perhaps we should focus on getting you some medical assistance?

Satisfied in his work, the man was about to head back indoors, when a peculiar organ called out to him.
