THIRD INVESTIGATION

[whimsicalism]

INVESTIGATION

By Friday morning, some of Ira Academy's best and brightest are likely feeling the effects of a few days' hunger. For a few, tensions have probably heightened, or sleeping to while away the time has become either easier or harder. Probably no one is even pretending to pay attention to classes any longer.

The sinister pattern of the past few weeks has also been difficult to ignore. Even with an indefinite deadline on the motive this week, Friday likely arrives with as sense of sick anticipation. It's time for students to wake up - or at least leave another sleepless night behind - and come see what the weekend has in store.

But as you step out of your room this Friday morning, however, you may notice that something is off right away, even if sleep or hunger or both are making you bleary. You might not want to leave the hallway outside of the dorm rooms right away and instead convene with the other students before moving on to any other locations.

What could possibly be waiting for you?

[The blue can is closest, then - what's most obvious upon picking it up? Any dents, any blood, any weird markings?]

[whimsicalism]

[Nope. Just flecks of paint. Looking at the other cans will result in the same conclusion: no dents or blood.

If you're looking around the dorm, there is a place you might want to check...

Valmont's room.]

[If there was anything that happened there... well, it can't hurt to look. Who cares if she's tracking paint everywhere.

First off - is the door shut, ajar, or open?]

[whimsicalism]

[It's shut but unlocked.]

[panglici]

[If a skeleton pops out or an axe falls when she opens the door, Carrie may not actually react. Still, she's going to open the door and look in before stepping in - there's no incriminating footprints she might walk all over, are there?]

[whimsicalism]

[It looks pretty clear of evidence you can trample over, at least. It takes some looking around but it looks like there's something in his nightstand. Take a look?]

[panglici]

[»examine nightstand]

[whimsicalism]

[You find a letter to Valmont's parents. It might be relevant.]

[panglici]

[Well, that's a pretty clear motive, but... he's the one who ended up dead.

Anything else?]

[whimsicalism]

[It seems to be it.]
