FOURTH INVESTIGATION

[whimsicalism]

INVESTIGATION

Good morning!

...Except it really isn't a good morning for the students at Ira Academy, after all. The deadline prescribed in this week's motive came just as quickly as the one's before it. It might be difficult to repel the sinking sense of dread that bleeds into Friday's early hours. That secret written on a slip of paper might even feel heavier for some. Perhaps it's Father's hate-filled words instead: I’m getting a little antsy about your performance. Do something to spice things up, won’t you? By now, is a grisly discovery every Friday morning a guarantee?

Though you're surely awake at the same time as usual--if you slept at all--there's a certain gloomier, late-year feeling to the artificial light keeping the Academy illuminated and providing the illusion of a complete world outside. There are no real seasons to speak of in this part of Closetland; one step into the playground proves that easily enough. And yet, as you emerge from your rooms, free to go wherever you wish today, it's hard to deny it. You've been enrolled here for quite a while, and time has passed.

Will autumn come and go before you get out of here?

_{[It's time for him to go upstairs and investigate since the sense dep room's occupied. Is there anything immediately and obviously off as far as he can see?]}

[whimsicalism]

[Oh, there is a lot that seems off here. The most obvious thing is that one of the vending machines is trapped in giant plastic bubble.]

[lets_dewey_it]

<sub>[Oh wow, that's weird

Is there anything else in the bubble or just the vending machine? He will comb the rest of the halls onces figuring that out.]</sub>

[whimsicalism]

[There's nothing else in the vending machine bubble but there is... a full bag of potato chips on the floor.]

[lets_dewey_it]

_{[Welp, he will collect that while Adorabat looks at the other piece of evidence.]}

[On the move from being ridiculously angry at the death of her big bro, she's taking this seriously. She notices a vending machine being wrapped in plastic bubble and that manages to confuse her enough for her to not be so angry anymore. She'll note down the positioning of the vending machine with how far it is from the Prefect's room.

After that, she turns her attention upward and downward. Is there anything about the ceiling or floor that sticks out to her?]

[whimsicalism]

[It's about in the center of the vending machine row.

It looks like something went down here. There's claw marks on the floor with a little bit of blood. In fact, it looks like this struggle continues to the library.]

[violence_ensues]

[Aaaaand the anger returns. Adorabat will briefly poke the blood spot to see if it's dried or not.]

[whimsicalism]

[It's just a little drip so it's definitely dried.]

[violence_ensues]

[Are the claw marks continuous or sporadic? One long line, or in short bursts, or completely chaotic in angle? This could determine what type of struggle occurred.]

[whimsicalism]

[Sporadic, just kind of short bursts.]
