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?

[A few indications that she did not go quietly in the general vicinity of her hands. The right kind of has a larger indication than the left.]

[ninehundredlives]

[Let's check that hand out.]

[trustmods]

[It was probably a bit hard to see, given the oversized parka and the blood all over being a little distracting, but it looks like she was holding something when she died.

Namely, a pair of scissors. They look like they came from the supply closet, and they're covered in blood.]

[ninehundredlives]

[Oh, Ashley. Susan is so proud of you.

She's going to gently take those scissors, put them in a baggie, and take them with her. Maybe she'll get a chance to stab the killer again before they die.

Anything else going on here? How about the left hand?]

[trustmods]

[Again, it looks like Ashley didn't go quietly into that good night; it looks like there are some fibers under her nails.]

[ninehundredlives]

[What kind of fibers? It's not totally nondistinct white fuzz again, is it?]

[trustmods]

[Thankfully(?) not - it looks like red yarn.]

[ninehundredlives]

[IT'S THE RED YARN OF FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE

yeah okay taking samples of that too]

[trustmods]

[Good job, Susan.

Unfortunately, though, that's all there is to find here today.]

[ninehundredlives]

[Well, we don't know what on earth the Conductor does with the bodies.

But she's going to try to clean Ashley up a little before she goes.]
