WEEK 4

[whimsicalism]

WEEK FOUR

Monsters come in all shapes and sizes, it would seem.

The students of Ira Academy will find themselves entering the new week with their hunger sated, but it's likely the grisly scene of Friday's murder and the demonstration of the execution make the food hit much heavier. The risk of death is still very real, and astute watchers might also find it haunting to think about what sort of twisted game could have forced Yuta to lose control of his own actions. Or perhaps, for the fifth week in a row, people are just finding themselves angrier at their circumstances and their captor than ever.

After her release from the washing machine last week, Nanami Kiryuu can be found more often shadowing the other students around, hanging out in the periphery and putting in appearances even if she doesn't have information to share or announcements to pass on to the rest of the group - as long as no one makes an attempt to shoo her away.

The stairs open up to another newly remodeled floor, offering new locations that may prompt more answers to your dilemma--or more questions. There's no way to know which it will be. Thankfully, there's always a new mind-numbing relaxation activity to take in.

How long can this keep going on?

OOC NOTES

Welcome to Week 4! New locations are now open, a couple of old ones have been tweaked, and characters have started the next week of their education. Please hit the mods with a ping in Discord and put INVESTIGATE in your subject line if you're interested in exploring a new location. Nanami may be putting in some public appearances in threads this week; otherwise, please ping + Discord tag her or the (SHEEP) if you want to speak with then. All NPCs are still available for their private contacts as well!

As a reminder, AC runs Sunday to Sunday concurrent with these posts and is collected based on the prior week; this means you have a whole week to get in AC for the week prior. AC for week 3 should be submitted no later than this coming Sunday. Remember to submit your regains, and sign up for a spot exploring this week's mystery if you want to!

[GASP! Contraband food! Adorabat will have to coffisate it to show the others. And what's with this comic book? Adorabat briefly flips through it to see if there's any clues.

...WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE'S JUST READING IT THIS IS IMPORTANT POLICE BUSINESS QUIET YOU.]

[whimsicalism]

[You’ll have to flip through it backwards, it seems that this is a manga. Volume Two of… The Death God Theory?

It appears to be about a young man who fights death gods with a notebook of some kind. It’s more action oriented than you’d first think.]

[violence_ensues]

[This is the first manga she's ever encountered. What of this pile of shenanigans? But she can't help but find this... actually super cool! She'll just coffisate it and poke about in the class notebooks for- WAIT.

What are these girl's interests magazines that's hiding under the notebooks?]

[whimsicalism]

[Fashion, some pamphlets for various girls schools, gossip magazines… they’re not particularly aimed at one thing or another. Except there’s a romance manga or two hidden in there. It never goes beyond dating but… the couples are girls. There’s a lot of hand holding.]

[violence_ensues]

[Oh, so those backward comic girls are friends with each other! Kinda weird that they're holding hands. Are friends supposed to hold hands? ...Never mind. POLICE BUSINESS!

These weird comics don't seem to be that interesting, so she'll quickly browse them to see if there's anything of note related to any weird mysteries involving this skewl.]

[whimsicalism]

[There's nothing in them that seem relevant to the school but there is one thing that you might want to look at. Why is the mirror missing...?]

[violence_ensues]

[...Yeah, Adorabat will let this slide as she places the magazines back on the desks. Out of the corner of her eyes, she notices the missing mirror. That's a little strange. Why didn't she pay it any mind earlier? Oh well! Time to look closer. Is there anything notable about this missing mirror?]

Huh...? Why ya missing, mister mirror?

[whimsicalism]

[It seems that the frame is burned slightly, but done so long enough that the faint smell is gone.]

[violence_ensues]

[Burned... The prissipull's doing, perhaps?]

[whimsicalism]

[It seems possible. The mirror itself is gone but the frame has bits of mirror still stuck to it.]

[violence_ensues]

[Hmm... Adorabat will examine then closer.]

[whimsicalism]

[There’s not a lot to discern from this now but it definitely looks like something shattered it at some point.]

[violence_ensues]

[Hmm... Shattered by what? A blade? A blunt object? ...Adorabat doubts if she can even tell.]

[whimsicalism]

[Sadly, you can't tell right now.

It seems that this room is clear.]
