fourth investigation

[stagemanagers]

[Boy howdy, last night sure was a wild time. A blackout, a massive rain storm, hotboxing in the photo dungeons, excessive PDA, Hester dissociating out of her skin- what a time!

Come the morning, the storm has mostly calmed to a normal amount of rain but the power seems like it's back on! Let there be light and let there be breakfast!

...Oh but it's Friday, isn't it? Better take a headcount.]

Comments

[mcfife]

[Angus wakes up and heads to the photo dungeons to check on anyone that might have stayed behind late. Probably also bring snacks from his room as well.]

[stagemanagers]

[Photo dungeons are clear but probably covered in trash and at least one person who fell asleep in there.]

[themuseabandonsyou]

[ WELL time to go out to the garden and make sure the grave markers are still in good shape. And also try to find some peace and quiet what with the weed hangover. ]

[stagemanagers]

[Only thing out here seems to be the already dead people and Discord. Say hi!]

[disharmonizes]

[...Okay listen Discord is two for two with being in the garden only for corpses to happen, so. Let's tempt fate.

Anything in the garden?]

[stagemanagers]

[The garden is safe this time! Pity poor Orpheus and his weed hangover though.]

[brokeforgood]

[Farrah feels so jittery this morning. So, she’s just gonna head up to the girls locker rooms on the second floor— and if that’s clear, just. peek into the pool to see if it’s currently a pool or a ice rink.]

[stagemanagers]

[Both are clear! And the pool is currently just a pool with an Angus in it.]

[whatyouwant]

[Elle heads to the costume room first to grab some materials for a project.]

[stagemanagers]

[The costume room is all good!]

[comeandfindme]

[ So. Wow. Yesterday, huh? Peregrine wakes up in the biggest haze, later than she normally would.

Probably why she slumps her way to the first floor girl's locker room by way of the gym, to if not shower then splash her face to wake up a little more. ]

[fourbutts]

[ Apparently also feeling some residual Stuff from last night, Janis follows her! Probably having upgraded to very touchy-feely while they walk, I'm so sorry Per. ]

[feudalladyshandmaid]

[It's been one hell of a week, hasn't it? That's what Cass is thinking as she pulls herself out of bed and finds, to her delight, that the lights are back on.

Time to head down to the cafeteria for some breakfast.]

[barberic]

[Benjamin heads for the boy's bathroom on the first floor to wash his face, and then to the weight room for some boxing practice.]

INVESTIGATION START

[tailor_made]

[The PA system screeches softly with feedback as people crowd into the cafeteria. There is near silence, save for what might be very faint, strained breathing for a long minute before Hester finally speaks up.]

A- [She audibly swallows.] Antonio Salieri, the Best Example of a Narrative Foil, is...



Is dead. You may now-may now start your investigation and then the class trial will....will begin.

CAFETERIA

[stagemanagers]

[rip in rest, morality chain dad]

[themuseabandonsyou]

[ You all know the drill by now. If he can get past Farrah and Spongebob and the rest of the mess going on there, he'll lay a pair of coins over Antonio's eyes. He'll have to pick them back up if they need to move him for the funeral, but he's not thinking about that right now.

Is there anything notable he'll see while he's close enough to be doing that? ]

[feudalladyshandmaid]

[Well, provided they can eventually move Farrah and Discord away from the body... someone else may have to do that.

There's still room around the stage. Time to begin a sweep of the area. Looking for clues, blood, bodies they haven't noticed yet. That sort of thing. That's the only thing Cass can think of that would make her useful.]

cw: dissociation

[barberic]

[Benjamin sits back as Orpheus lays the coins over Antonio's eyes, staring sightlessly ahead.

He's relieved, when Orpheus goes to comfort Eurydice, leaving him alone on the stage with Antonio's body.]

I'll kill him myself, Antonio. Whoever did this, I'll snap their neck with my bare hands.

[He keeps his voice low, so others can't hear, reaches out and takes his friend's cold, sticky-wet hand, trying not to think about the warmth and tenderness with which Antonio had bandaged his knuckles earlier in the week. Everyone slip-sliding around the crime scene has no doubt made a huge mess of it, but what is there to notice about the body?]

AREA CLEAR

[stagemanagers]

BAND ROOM

[stagemanagers]

[/raises hand

Is murder an instrument?]

parks here and waits for farrah

[disharmonizes]

[Whenever someone finally gets Discord away from Salieri's body -- for now, anyway -- he'll just... wander. Making his way to the band room eventually.

As good a place as any to be in right now...]

LIBRARY

[stagemanagers]

[Quick, someone find Clue the Musical. Surely it will have all the answers.

Or just multiple audience-based endings. Heck.]

[comeandfindme]

[ Where Peregrine's quick pace takes her is the library. She doesn't really know why, it's just where she is when she can let herself catch a breath.

Is there anything immediately off here? ]

KITCHEN

[stagemanagers]

[Has the knife box failed us at last?]

[mayavericks]

[Maya can't look at this, and she refuses to be the monster that tries to pry Farrah off of Salieri again so. She's going to the kitchen to get -- something.

Water? A rag? A place to cry? Who knows.

Is anything immediately off when she enters?]

NURSE'S OFFICE

[stagemanagers]

[I think Salieri might need more than a band-aid, ya'll.]

[sugarlumps]

[She's in something of a blind panic but she's here, sure. What's cursed this week?]
