fifth investigation

[thecastle]

Many are on edge—this is a fact that no one would dare challenge. The motive had hit a lot of people harder than the one previous, and there are more than a few of you who would consider someone acting as a blessing more than anything. It still doesn't help in keeping thoughts of concern far away, as no one is eager about the thought of a comrade dying. Then, there is the reality that there would be the upcoming trial as well. However, in the end, nothing can be done to make any of this easy, and all of you must take whatever may come.

Now, who will be the first to venture outward into the halls? Undoubtedly, something must have occurred. It would be unfortunate if it didn't, no?

[ABANDONED HEARTLESSLY BY HER ROOMMATES no i'm kidding, but really: left to her own devices, Ros is going to be searching the bedroom wing.]

[godinsolitude]

[Guess it's time to check the kitchen.]

[thecastle]

[ How dare they.

No dead bodies, no blood, it's peaceful here. ]

[thecastle]

[ The kitchen is....spared for the first time in this game damn. Good job team, but you'll have to look elsewhere if you're hoping to find something awful. ]

[godinsolitude]

[Thank goodness, it's such an unsanitary choice for murder shenanigans.

Time to go through the great hall! He'll venture up to the second floor from there.]

[thecastle]

[ There's no bodies up here, and you're getting colder rather than warmer. ]

[presomnia]

[it's a beautiful brand new day, surely nothing will go wrong, surely the courtyard is free from suffering]

[irrationalities]

[Nothing like Friday morning to go and get some fresh air?! Not that he's expecting that the week passed without someone dying, but he's not particularly looking for a dead body either. With that said, he'll still note if there's anything weird visible as he enters the courtyard.]

[thecastle]

[ ...wouldn't that be nice? While it looks like nothing is off from first glance, there's a feeling you just can't shake that something is very wrong. Where do you want to look in the Courtyard? ]

[gyakusatsu]

[Misora will be doing the usual routine of heading towards the training ground. Anything weird there or on the way there?]

[thecastle]

[ Nothing visible at first glance, but your spidey senses might be tingling. Where do you want to look? ]

[presomnia]

[MMMM. NO. IT'S PROBABLY FINE. IT'S DEFINITELY FINE??? THERE'S NO WAY ANYTHING IS GOING TO FEEL WEIRD AS SHE APPROACHES THE BRIDGE IN THE GENERAL DIRECTION OF THE GREENHOUSE AND TREE]

[irrationalities]

[Well, someone already died in the bathhouse, surely it can't happen two times in a row!!! Maybe he'll just check out the greenhouse though.]

[thecastle]

[ There might be something a little weird with the bridge. Actually, scratch that.

There's definitely something weird. ]

[godinsolitude]

[Guess he'll head out to the courtyard with everyone else.]

[irrationalities]

Why're you wandering around here.

[Tiki, do you want to find a dead body or something--]

[presomnia]

'cause it's morning.

[it's. it's fine. THERE ISN'T GOING TO BE A DEAD BODY IT'S FINE, IT'S FINE]

[thecastle]

[ If you two went by the bridge... ]

[presomnia]

[ok well

tiki and mahiro are here too now it looks like. to her credit, tiki is waving at misora, so long as she's here

what's weird with the bridge]

[gyakusatsu]

[....Huh. Okay that's not right. Let's take a closer look at the bridge! What happened to the poor thing?]

[irrationalities]

[Okay well that's always a good sign, right!! Surely it can't mean anything bad pshaw.

So what've we got here? Did someone just leave their copy of The Game of Life there!!]

[thecastle]

[ If they did, you guys would be winning! As you peek over the rail, however, you can see someone else's game isn't quite as strong. It seems someone's shoulder peeking out from under the bridge.

They're on the outer side, nearer to the training area than the greenhouse. ]

[gyakusatsu]

[Well fuck.]

Looks like there's a body under the bridge.

[She'll kick off her shoes and roll up her pant legs as she speaks to Mahiro and Tiki.]

Mahiro, help me.

[And with that, she'll just wade into the water to get closer.]

[irrationalities]

[Man. Man. He's not ruining his pants for this shit y'all, just let him check if he can see who it is before he decides if he wants to help or not.]

[presomnia]

[SHOULDER??? SHOULDER???????? SH O U LD ER??????? Tiki is not the person being addressed here but she probably doesn't actually hear that because she is too busy screaming—] Someone's down there! Someone's down there!

[MAHIRO CAN DO WHAT HE WANTS BUT WHEN REACHING OVER THE RAILING DOESN'T WORK BECAUSE SHE HAS SMALL ARMS TIKI IS JUST FUCKIN TAKING HER SHOES OFF AND JUMPING FEET-FIRST INTO THE RIVER TO FOLLOW MISORA IN A PANIC]
