Fourth.

[trustmods]

The week has been relatively quiet after the utter debacle that was the previous weekend's trial; access to the fourth floor has generally ensured that no one has any excuse to not keep themselves entertained in one way or another, whether by way of games or by way of copious amounts of alcohol. Of course, that doesn't change the fact that this week's incentive came with a three-day limit this time – something that doesn't seem too geared toward discouraging the pattern that Fridays have fallen into around here. Thankfully, however, there are once again no bodies in the ballroom; it seems everyone has learned a lesson and decided to leave that place alone for the time being. But anybody heading upstairs beyond a certain point is going to have an...interesting time, let's put it that way. >Explore?

[ Marty is going to check the gaming room! ]

[trustmods]

[Unfortunately, there's going to be a bit of an obstruction as you're moving to ascend the stairs joining the third and the fourth floor.

Namely, there's a person lying at the bottom of the steps.]

[openterrain]

[ So let's say the very first thing Jean checks out in the morning is the bar - since apparently some people think he's too young to be in there.

What's he gonna discover on the way up? ]

[trustmods]

[About that.]

[nankurunaisa]

[Well, that's ominous. Whatever. Hibiki wants to head to the gym first thing every morning like usual.]

[trustmods]

[And she will be unobstructed! Enjoy yourself, Hibiki.]

[withabigsmile]

[GOOD MORNING EVERYONE IT'S A WONDERFUL AND BODY FREE DAoh who is she kidding.

Well, she's heading up to the game room because the sewing room and her still aren't on good terms and the ballroom is off limits on fridays, so up the stairs she goes!]

[trustmods]

[SORRY, BLUE...]

[charcoalfeather]

[Once again, the ballroom is safe. Thank goodness.

Rakka's gonna head up to the library then. Maybe look for something to read?]

[trustmods]

[Have a party, Rakka.]

[forcegalactic]

[Maybe he had no reason to be worried. Perhaps thus quiet week fortold a lack of trouble for the near future - particularly of the murderous kind. Mordecai heads off to the library to read a good book.]

[trustmods]

[Enjoy yourself, Mordecai, at least until the announcement goes off.]

TRUST HAS BEEN BROKEN

[antitrust]

[And after a while, there goes the clock, chiming out throughout all the rooms in the Academy; once it's done, the Conductor can be heard over the intercom – all of the anger from last week is gone, and the usual interest and vaguely manic energy is back in his words when he speaks.]

To the guilty: You've made your choice; someone's life has ended because of you. This is your fault; it's your doing. I only hope you intend to see it through to the end.

To the rest of you: Find whomever did this. It won't bring her back; it won't restore the life that was taken. But Counterbalanced deserves that much, doesn't she?

You will have time to investigate as you see fit. Once you've finished, convene by the stairwell on the southwestern side of the dormitories and I'll allow you downstairs.

[And for the time being, that is all.]

THIRD FLOOR STAIRWELL

[trustmods]

[perpend]

[It seems he does this too often.

What's the state of the body? Are there any obvious wounds or injuries? Bruises anywhere?]

[clearasmud]

[ Follow the shouting, find the crime scene.

Alright: is there anything of immediate and obvious note here, asides from luna? ]

AREA CLEAR

[trustmods]

FOURTH FLOOR GIRLS' RESTROOM

[trustmods]

[You might want to check this one. There's something important in here.]

[charcoalfeather]

[YOU KNOW WHAT, Rakka doesn't like inspecting bodies. They're usually gross and sad. So, she's going to journey into the bathroom instead. what's in here?]

[zomgboom]

[FOR ONCE, WE ARE NOT STEALING A KEY.

Because, uh. Tabby has a modicum of respect and really, that should be Sol's doing. Although she is totally dropping by afterward to steal everything investigate. WHAT'S UP IN THE BATHROOM, GUYS.]

GAME ROOM

[trustmods]

[shuttermouse]

[ Well, the game room seems like a good place to check, she can go take pictures of the body later if she has the time. What's up here? ]

INFIRMARY

[trustmods]

[midnightsea]

[look if you're gonna wake him up he's gonna get breakfast]

[so. is the place a complete mess?]

LIBRARY

[trustmods]

[nankurunaisa]

[On her search to find Sol, Hibiki will stop in here.

What's up? Any big messes to notice?]

CONFERENCE ROOM

[trustmods]

[openterrain]

[ You know who's totally forgotten about checking out the bar? This guy.

So instead, Jean starts off towards the conference room. He has no idea how likely it is that he'll find anything here, but he has to look for something.

Fortunately, he's sort of familiar with how this place usually looks. Anything put out of order? ]
