third investigation

[stagemanagers]

[There's already been a death this week, despite all of your best efforts to prevent it. So, waking up on Friday morning, it doesn't seem like too much to ask that nothing bad have happened the night before. Right?

There's nothing immediately off in the hallway outside your dorms, or in the dorms themselves - save, perhaps, that not everyone is there. That's not so weird. But maybe you should just do a quick walk-through to make sure everything is good.]

Comments

[themuseabandonsyou]

[ Orpheus is going to go to the boys' locker room with the intention of taking a shower and experiencing dread.]

[sugarlumps]

[Oh hey, same paranoid hat.]

Oh, cool, you're still alive.

[stagemanagers]

[For the first time in forever,
you can shower without fear.
For the first time in forever,
there are no bodies here.]

[sugarlumps]

[You know what, after two weeks in a row. Let's just check the guys' locker room immediately, shall we. Even LSP can spot a pattern.]

[stagemanagers]

[It's all good here! Except that you're walking in on Orpheus in the boy's shower room, maybe.]

[mcfife]

[Angus is going to do a quick warmup in the weight room and hopefully not have a reason to hate coming here anymore!]

[stagemanagers]

[The only thing here is the weight of your sins.]

[disharmonizes]

[Last time Discord decided to vibe outside by himself, someone fucking died, so. Time to tempt fate and go out to the courtyard fuck it.]

[stagemanagers]

[Nothing wrong in the courtyard!]

[howtheworldwas]

[ eurydice elects not to follow orpheus into the boy’s locker room because that place has some nasty vibes. instead she’ll see what there is to eat in the kitchen. ]

[stagemanagers]

[There's a couple things slightly off here, but nothing too alarming! Eat your breakfast!]

[whatyouwant]

[Elle hits up the dance studio for a shortened yoga session before heading to the kitchen for breakfast, as usual.]

[stagemanagers]

[We can talk about the dance studio later!]

[mayavericks]

[Maya's kind of groggy so she just sorta. blindly wiggles herself out of the girlfriend pile. Surely they're all there so. No need to check!

Anyway, she's going into the girl's bathroom to get changed for the day.]

[stagemanagers]

[You're good!]

[brokeforgood]

[Farrah’s off to the girl’s locker room then into the band room to poke at some piano keys]

[stagemanagers]

[Things are about as normal as they ever are with this particular piano.]

[comeandfindme]

[ Like Maya, Peregrine extricates herself, equally drowsy. She hasn't been waking up as early as she used to.

Anyway. Once she makes sure Janis is still asleep there and she is I swear I got the go-ahead from Lyndon she heads to the teacher's lounge to check on the carvings, see if there's been any developments there. ]

[alchemistake]

[Varian always tries to treat these days like normal days. This week, it feels even hollower trying to do that, considering they'd already lost someone just two days prior.

Maybe this time it will be different.

He's going to the Parking Lot this morning to check up on the car, which IM ASSUMING is out here by now even if nobody's taken it for a joyride I'm still worried about it okay, and I need to investigate someplace not the auto shop for once-]

INVESTIGATION START

[tailor_made]

[Oh boy.

Throughout the school and the grounds the PA system screeches softly with feedback.]

Rina Tennoji, Best Poker Face, is dead. You may now start your investigation and then the class trial will begin.

GARDEN

[stagemanagers]

[If this garden becomes the new boys' locker room body depository, I swear-]

[disharmonizes]

[Yeah it better not, but. Well, Discord promised to stick by the body, so stick by the body he shall. Speaking of which, let's very carefully and gently take a look at the body.

Like, first and foremost, that blood... where's the wound all that came from?]

WOODS

[stagemanagers]

[Now I turn around and find I am lost in the woods

North is south, right is left, when you're gone]

[mayavericks]

[This is the logical place to lose her shit, right? Maybe she'll just pause next to a tree and... have a look around to make sure no one will see it?]

CORN FIELD

[stagemanagers]

[Let the corn sins begin.]

[themuseabandonsyou]

[ Orpheus just... runs, after performing last rites for Rina as best he can. Being in the garden, surrounded by memorials to the dead, was just too much for right now, and he needs to get as far away fro that as possible. Is this a bad idea? Probably, without someone to make sure something awful doesn't befall him too, but he's already out in the corn by the time he thinks of that.

Well. Anything here? Does it seem like anyone else has walked through recently? ]

KITCHEN

[stagemanagers]

[Baby need snack- oh.]

[fourbutts]

[ ... once the announcement sounds, she can't stay in bed. It wouldn't be fair. She has to help.

So shaky but almost not obviously on the verge of tears, Janis brute forces her way past her fucking trauma to investigate. Kitchen seems like a decent place to start. What's going on in here? ]

NURSE'S OFFICE

[stagemanagers]

[Boy howdy, this place is getting a workout since it was unlocked!]

[mcfife]

[Angus arrives to leave Varian on a cot and keep watch, and hopes that he will have a quiet rest. But is there anything immediately concerning when they enter?]

DANCE STUDIO

[stagemanagers]

[DANCE, DANCE, DANCE 'TILL YOU'RE DEAD]

[whatyouwant]

[Well, Elle saw some weird stuff in here earlier, might as well look around again.]
