Fourth.

[trustfellows]

As the fourth week comes to a close and Friday morning dawns like the rest of the week before it, with the chiming of the clock and the doors to the kitchen unlocking, it seems, for a brief moment, that everything will be normal. For a given degee of "normal", anyway – perhaps some are on edge because there's a definite pattern that's been happening here, but for a few blissful moments, everything seems quiet. It doesn't last long; eventually, Jericho's voice can be heard over the public-address system. He doesn't sound as excitable as usual, though perhaps that can be explained away with the content of his message: "Hey. Just so you know, we've kind of got a problem this morning. Nothing catastrophic or anything, but you might want to get into the foyer so you know what's going on. We'll be waiting." You might want to go.

[There's nothing off here, no - the rest of her body actually seems to be fine, which isn't really going to help those suspicions.

...Granted, there's also something else on the bar that's possibly not going to help those suspicions, either, if you want to take a look.]

[Well, she is, because of course she is. What do we got?]

[trustfellows]

[We've got what looks like a piece of paper with some writing on it, shoved off to the side. Not very far from the body, but out of the path of the blood.]

[...oh. Okay then.

Rin reaches out for the paper, a stoic look on her face. What does the note say?]

I'm pouring one last one out, and then doing this to reset the timer. This note is so you don't tear each other apart at the trial, if they make you have one. I'm taking responsibility for my actions now.

Keep trying to get out of here. You'll make it, just don't give up.

[That note is being folded very neatly because if she didn't control herself she'd crumple it to be taken to the trial room for later, along with the dagger.

Anything else, or are we good here?]

[One more brief thing, regarding the note -

It's not in handwriting that's immediately and definitively recognizable as belonging to anyone (that is, it definitely isn't Aligula's, nor does it belong to anyone who's sent notes around for a party) but it's also generally unrecognizable at least partly due to the fact that it seems very hastily-written.

It's not hard to believe that Sigrun was in a hurry, judging by how quickly all of this happened; then again, it's something to make note of, anyway.

Other than that, we're good here. o/]

[Roger that! It's definitely something Rin will keep in mind, thank you.]
