fifth investigation

[stagemanagers]

[Oh, what a night.
Why'd it take so long to see the light,
Seemed so wrong, but now it seems so right.
What a time, what a night.

What a night last night was! Dancing under the stars, romance, family...all the things a good school dance should stand for. Even with everyone being sick it could still, overall, be considered a hige success.

But on the subject of the sickness thats spread through the school...when people start to rouse from their dance-fuled exhaustion in the morning all the symptoms seem to be completely gone. Which should be good news but knowing what day it is.

Maybe you should leave your dorms and investigate.]

[Oh! His hands don't ache, the colors are normal! Thank the gods, Angus had enough fear for this week regarding his own fate.

...Which immediately suspicious. Angus first heads to the boy's locker room on the first floor to wash up after the wild times last night. Has the curse returned?]

[brokeforgood]

[Can’t investigate, totally grounded in Ambassador.]

[employeeoftheyear]

[... Spongebob wakes up.

And decides that no matter what happens, he’s going to be brave.

It’s no ones fault but the Wizard.

He’s going to go check the Rooftop garden first.]

[stagemanagers]

[Woah there friend, you may want to slow down!

Unless you intended to step over the body in the dorm hallway on your way to the locker room?]

[mcfife]

[OH HELL.

Angus runs over to check on them? Are they just drunk? Passed out?]

[stagemanagers]

[Same again, my guy!]

[stagemanagers]

[It's difficult to say! While it's clearly a human shape, they're covered by a length of white cloth. That's an evidence bullet so you can maybe look closer at that later, but for now - remove the cloth?]

[mcfife]

Hey. Are you okay?

[He's going to pull that cloth away, that's not how you use a blanket, buddy.]

[employeeoftheyear]

[Spongebob sees the body and just

Stands aside as Angus pulls off the cloth, feeling his heart beat out of his chest.]

[stagemanagers]

[I mean, it sounds like there's some stuff going on just outside, but you do you.]

[feudalladyshandmaid]

[Guess who's awake, and slowly coming up beside Spongebob as she exited her dorm, hardly expecting that there'd be a commotion right outside in the hall.]

[brokeforgood]

[does grounding still apply if there’s a murder????

someone ask a dad]

[stagemanagers]

[Beneath the sheet, the body is sprawled out on its back, very still. That pristine prom outfit is soaked through with blood on the front, and there is a pair of coins resting over her eyes.

Maya Tendo is



still breathing.]

[employeeoftheyear]

[That

That’s his sister

His baby sister

Spongebob doesn’t think. He immediately goes to her side and cradles her close to him.]

Maya! Maya please tell me you’re still with us!

[mcfife]

Maya!

[Angus crouches over her, no, that's too much blood. There's the coins, she's dying, she's alive--]

Supplies! We need--! She's still alive, we need to save her!

[He's going to remove the coins from her eyes.]

[brokeforgood]

[Well maybe if she just stands in the doorway she’s not technically leaving the dorm—]

Hey guys wh—- [Farrah Screams.]

[comeandfindme]

[ The shout wakes her.

Peregrine stumbles out of Broadhurst, hair mussed and half-dressed in a long night shirt, too focused on the adrenaline to perform a head count. ]

What hap- what happened?! [ She looks— ] Maya...?

[ She pales. And immediately returns to Broadhurst, pulling out her emergency first aid supplies from her backpack. ]

We gotta clean the wound, stop the bleeding!

[stagemanagers]

[Maya is out cold, for the record!]

[feudalladyshandmaid]

Maya?

[What...... how....]

[mcfife]

Her dress- we remove it!

[He's going to let another girl to do that, for now he's going to keep her awake.]

Maya, brave Maya. Can you hear us? Please, we're here for you. [They can save her. They won't lose another of their number. He swore to get them out of here alive, and he isn't going to break that promise!]

[fourbutts]

[ And, behind her, shortly after! ... Also, even moreso, Deeply Disheveled. ]

Maya? Fuck-

[ Well now Janis is fuckin Awake!! ]

She's not... is she?

[stagemanagers]

[Yeah, you should probably do that - but for organization's sake, let's save it for the investigation header. After all, you're bound to find some things.]

[comeandfindme]

[ Man, here I am already writing up a fun first-aid comment— alright, we'll save it for then. ]

[employeeoftheyear]

[Its okay, Spongebob is continue to gently cradle her, soothing her hair out with his good hand.]

Please say with me Maya, stay with us. I won’t let my baby sister die on me.

[mcfife]

She's alive, we can save her!

[He prays they can. Peregrine is more than capable of saving her.]
