fourth investigation

[facultwist]

This week, there's nothing like the previous to indicate that there's a body or not. The heat has been on, your thoughts have been in your head, and so on...

But there's still a feeling in the pit of your gut. It nags at you. It taunts you. Something is wrong. The same thing that is wrong every Friday this month.

Time to go check the damage.

[Tiera is heading for the stables first. She figures no one would hurt the animals, since it's not like they're a part of this, but it's still comforting for her.]

[facultwist]

[ Oh, Tiera, you really do have a nose for these things, don't you?

It's not too far into the stables that you see her. A girl laid out on a hay bale. She almost looks like she's sleeping.

But you and I probably know better. ]

[thanoptical]

[Let’s go to the kitchen to see if trauma is there.]

[facultwist]

[ There are some secret tools to help us later in the kitchen, but no bodies! ]

[curdle]

[ Thomasin is checking out the library (big)! ]

[facultwist]

[ There are many rows and shelves and the like in the Big Library, and all of them are clear of bodies! ]

[goldendoll]

[ all right, the horrors continue. how's the athletics center looking? ]

[facultwist]

[ Looking pretty normal! No bodies here. ]

A BODY HAS BEEN DISCOVERED

[facultwist]

[ The loudspeaker clicks to life. Those who didn't find bodies, you know what this means. ]

Ka- The Starlet and The Encumbered are dead. Now's your time to investigate.

CONSERVATORY

[facultwist]

[ for conserving many things but not bodies apparently ]

[thanoptical]

[Satsuki is clutching the bloody body of her crush… where is all this blood coming from?]

[shellhawked]

[Hawke's been lucky ("lucky") so far in that she hasn't had to investigate any corpses directly. It figures the first one she'd be mentally present for would be after dreams that eased the nausea of being around a dead body. Now it's just the fact it's Kana that's the problem.]

Satsuki, tell me if you need help. I'm going to look around.

[Her body is on the loveseat. She'll start there by getting on her knees and looking under it.]

AREA CLEAR

[facultwist]

LOUNGE

[facultwist]

[ you were supposed to be able to kick back and relax... ]

[rosewitch]

[Anthy has to investigate the lounge to make sure TV Junior is not harmed like his poor martyred father.]

AREA CLEAR

[facultwist]

KITCHEN

[facultwist]

[ I think there has to come a point when the health inspector shuts this place down, right? ]

[tomestones]

[The Interim Headmistress' announcement spurs Dagr into moving. They can't sit still. They can't cry over Dorothy when Kana is dead as well and their lives are all on the line. Someone did this to them, and they need to find out what happened.

Their feet take them to the kitchen and they swipe the sleeve of their jacket across their eyes angrily as they take a look around. What's going on here? Anything immediately out of place?]

AREA CLEAR

[facultwist]

TUNNELS

[facultwist]

[ do you know how jealous I am of the idea I created for this game that there are tunnels under campus??? ]

[iseedollpeople]

[This is going great. Surely going into all these endless tunnels is the best way to spend a murder morning.....]

AREA CLEAR

[facultwist]

CAFETERIA (OUTSIDE)

[facultwist]

[ yummy yummy ]

[curdle]

[ She's here, she's extremely concerned, she's probably not going to eat anymore! Is anything visually obvious from the outset? ]

STABLES

[facultwist]

[ things yall are not: this location ]

[ergine]

[ This is her responsibility. If Dorothy left their room last night—she should have noticed.

Before anything else, she wants to check the body's position. How is she lying in the hay? Like she just sat down to take a nap, or...? ]
