Third.

[trustmods]

This week has been eventful for the lot of you, if a bit political for some; another resistance meeting, petitions everywhere, group dinners, and the new addition of a bunch of chickens to the group have ensured that at the very least, you've all had reason to keep busy. Of course, there's still that incentive to keep in mind, as well as the fact that there's been a murder every Friday since everyone arrived. Either way, the clock chimes in the morning, as it always does; the doors to the kitchen and the mail room unlock themselves, and all seems quiet. Thankfully, today the ballroom is blessedly corpse-free, as is the rest of the first floor. Maybe it would be good to move upstairs, though, just to make sure the rest of the Academy is likewise. >Explore?

[Well, since Hibiki is now sleeping with the hen so no one eats Dorika, she'll head to the gym for her morning work-out. Surely, no one will ruin her second work-out area.]

[trustmods]

[Thankfully, morning workout will be uninterrupted! As long as, you know, we don't find a corpse elsewhere.]

[ninehundredlives]

[At this point, Susan has some suspicions regarding Fridays.

She's just gonna...head up to the infirmary ahead of time. You know, just in case anybody ends up needing first aid today, instead of...other things.]

[trustmods]

[...Yeah. Yeah, something happened in here, but at the very least it's not, like, "someone died in here" levels of happening.]

[openterrain]

[ Upstairs sounds like a good plan. It's become something of a haunt for him, so Jean meanders through the library first thing after breakfast. ]

[trustmods]

[Thankfully no one has decided that the library is too useful and therefore it needs a few more creative decorations.

That said, someone was definitely in here, but it seems they left alive.]

[withabigsmile]

[Thank fuck there is no body in the ballroom. Now she can head straight to the sewing room in peace because if there is someone dead, she wants nothing to do with it.]

[trustmods]

[...If you wanted to avoid the body, you've got a big storm coming.

It definitely looks like there was a struggle in here.

A good amount of the sewing room is in disarray, scattered supplies and upset furniture but first and foremost, the heavy scent of blood in the air; there's a good amount of it in the room, but most of it is near the center of the room, where there's a fair amount of floor space left clear by the arrangement of the tables and old-fashioned machines.

It's here that there's not only blood, but what's very unmistakably a person lying on the floor.]

[oftheland]

[...thank god, there's no corpse in the ballroom. Well, he'd like to spend some time in the dojo anyway, so let's see if this will be a normal Friday. Third time's the charm, right?]

[trustmods]

[Hey, look, you can actually do that uninterrupted, assuming there are no corpses found elsewhere. Good job!]

[charcoalfeather]

[Oh thank goodness, the ballroom is safe. With that, Rakka decided to head upstairs to the sewing room after breakfast. For sewing reasons.]

[trustmods]

[Uh, well.]

[shuttermouse]

[ Thank god the ballroom is corpse-free. Let's go to the shooting range because why not. ]

[trustmods]

[Well, thankfully at least no one got shot in here today; it's remarkably corpse-free.]

[zomgboom]

[what's even on the other floor - shooting range.

she totally forgot her steak knife there.]

[trustmods]

[Go get your steak knife, Tabby, there are no dead bodies in here to stop you.]

[icysemblance]

[Weiss has a new outfit on today. She peeks into the ballroom first, thanking heavens it's empty. She sees a few people going upstairs, so she follows, looking into the conference room.]

[trustmods]

[Conference room is clear! But there's something going down just down the hall that's probably not a good something, either.]

TRUST HAS BEEN BROKEN.

[antitrust]

[Once again, the clock breaks its usual pattern, settling into the usual ominous chime reserved for signaling someone's death in the Academy, the sound ringing out over the intercom and throughout all the rooms.

However, it seems that the clock isn't the only thing breaking pattern this morning; the Conductor, it seems, is not going to be bothering with the usual nonsense today - his tone is surprisingly cold, despite the usual interest in these things, and the few words he offers are incredibly clipped. Blunted.]

Find. Who. Did. This.

SEWING ROOM

[trustmods]

[At least it isn't the ballroom??]

[zomgboom]

[........ honestly if we think tabby is going to do anything useful during body investigation besides steal the key, we're kidding ourselves.]

LIBRARY

[trustmods]

[openterrain]

[ The library. Right. There'd been something off about the library. Jean finds himself headed that way without giving it any thought. When he gets in there he stops and looks around, a vacant expression on his face.

He's been here plenty of times, though, looked through it over and over again, and he can tell that something is off. It's just a matter of figuring out what it is. ]

SHOOTING RANGE

[trustmods]

[announcemyvictory]

[Elise never even goes here, but she wants to get as far away from the body as she can. Is there anything immediately apparent?]

INFIRMARY

[trustmods]

[nankurunaisa]

[After hearing Rakka's scream, Hibiki is on the move. She couldn't tell where it came from, but if someone's in danger...after everything that's happened to her this week...she can't risk anything. She ducks into the first room she can find, which just happens to be the infirmary next door.

She has no idea Ashley's died yet, but what is she looking at?]

ASHLEY'S ROOM

[trustmods]

[Required: One (1) Silver Key to room #7.]

[nankurunaisa]

[After finding out about the murder from Morty, Hibiki's going to head here. She might not have the key...but she's sure someone will show up with soon. She can't go see the body, but she can sure make sure her room is as undisturbed as possible.

She almost doesn't want anyone else looking through it, or maybe she needs time to compose herself. So she and Morty will wait outside her room, Hibiki more or less looking like she's lost.]

FOYER

[trustmods]

[one of your mods is dumb and forgot this location]

[oftheland]

[...RIGHT YES LET'S GET AWAY FROM THE SCENE OF THE CRIME rassafrassin can't a man's creepy weird hobby intersect with dealing with being mad someone you liked died

what is going on here, then]
