WEEK FIVE

[whimsicalism]

WEEK FIVE

There's one thing that belongs in Closetland: Monsters.

It was a monster that brought the students here to begin with, and it's a monster who controls their lives now. By now, some have even accused their classmates of turning into--or always being--monsters themselves.

The academy is just as cold as it was last week, autumn air seeping in through the unfriendly architecture and the artificial light seeming darker than before. The occasionally cloud of purple fog snakes through the hallways at ground level, a constant reminder of the new presence haunting the school and her role in the past five weeks of torment. Now that Kakuya is back in a body of her own making, the music room is silent, though the rooms and halls of the Academy themselves occasionally fill with a low, haunting flute melody. With the school's new overlord already wishing her ill, Nanami's already deflating power and free roam capabilities are more or less completely limited as well: She's just one more toy in the box.

The stairwell has opened into another new floor. Upon closer inspection, it seems to be the uppermost one. This is the top of Ira Academy, and while it likely bears some new answers and some new locations to try and find a solution to your plight, is there anything that can heal some of the rifts that formed from the accusations thrown at the last trial? Still, if you don't find answers, then you'll be here playing this eternal deadly game.

Is the devil you know better than the devil you don't?

OOC NOTES

Welcome to Week 4! Nanami has joined the party! She no longer has office hours but still be contacted privately, as can Kakuya, who is no longer stuck in the music room. New locations are now open, and some minor adjustments have been made to the IC profiles and rules. 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. The SHEEP are still taggable, though you may find them in a...different mood.

You now have a week to make sure your AC in for last week and to start collecting AC for this week. Remember to submit your regains, and sign up for a spot exploring this week's mystery if you want to!

BODY CLASS (later on of course)

[canreallymove]

[Well. Not quite yet.

First he's in the art room, where he has procured a suspicious amount of home economics-level of quality of stuffing and is...sewing. Something. He keeps poking his fingers, though, which is probably why he is not wearing his gloves presently. And also why his fingers have a bunch of needle holes in them.]

Ow! Ow! Owie owie-

[People are more than free to wonder what the heck he's doing, and why he's got a bucket of red paint.

Or maybe you don't have to wonder, because later on in the day, there's a note on the door to the art room.]

HOW DID SONIC DIE WORKSHOP

please come in and aveng the victim.

they died a very tragic death.

its up to YOU to figure out how they were killed!!!

(ps TURBO, I made a self defense dummy, its in the dance studio)

[Oh no, it's...Sonic. Sonic is ded. what do.

Well, more specifically, part of both of his leg is missing, allowing stuffing to get out, and this also means no shoes. There's a combat knife stuck in his chest, and there's a jump rope around his neck. Also lots of red blood everywhere. And by blood, we mean red paint. There's also some water on him for some reason. And a partly-eaten chili dog on a plate next to him. Très tragique. Either way, he's very very dead.

Meanwhile, actual Sonic is standing there, rubbing his nose.]

All right. This is...just in case, ok? Gotta make sure someone else can figure out a body if it comes to that.

So yeah, let's do this, ok?!

workshop

[hashtagwoof]

[ Okay, he knows this is serious business, but seeing the Sonic plushie mauled in such a way is making him chuckle.

Or maybe the chuckling is him trying to resist the urge to chew on the paint covered toy. Who can say. ]

Maaan, whoever did this must have gone overboard. I mean, strangling and stabbing at the same time?

Re: workshop

[canreallymove]

Looks like they did, huh.

[shrug]

But that's what we gotta figure out, right?

[hashtagwoof]

Right, right.

[ Still smirking as he kneels down to poke the body. Taking out the knife, looking at the stuffing and paint...

Trying not to focus on the chili dog... ]

[canreallymove]

[Well, one thing he will notice is that there is some "blood" on the knife and on the chest, but not as much as one would expect from being stabbed in the chest.

Hm.]

[hashtagwoof]

[ Hm indeed. He will take another look at the legs, then. More "blood" on that? ]

Re: workshop

[lets_dewey_it]

Okay okay so- _[Wheezing] They removed his legs in order to foil our shoe check. Because that's something we'd be looking out for.

[hashtagwoof]

Heh! I think you're right! Unless they were so sloppy we end up finding his shoes in a rubbish bin.

Re: BODY CLASS (later on of course)

[lets_dewey_it]

_{[Dewey is so incredibly sorry Sonic but he is trying not to die of laughter, so he is containing it and his face looks like a tomato.]}

[canreallymove]

It's the face, isn't it?

[lets_dewey_it]

S-

Sanic the Heghodge- _{[FBDDXSHGFBSFJSGHRVHTDVJV]}

[canreallymove]

H-hey, I did my best-[Ok, he can't help but snrk a little too.


Honestly, one can only imagine how badly anyone else's face would have gone over if he'd screwed them up.]

[temmapathy]

[Emma was a bit worried about what they would see, but a small smile breaks out on her face when she sees the scenario. As her eyes roam over it, the smile slowly widens, and when she sees the chili dog bursts into outright involuntary laughter.]

[canreallymove]

Such disrespect for the chili dog!

[what about the body though-]

It's way past important evidence!

[that he may or may not eat after this-]

[temmapathy]

[Sorry, she's laughing too hard to look at his lips properly right now. She finally settles down, her laughter trailing off as she wipes her eyes.]

Okay, okay. I guess we need to check it for poison somehow?

WITHOUT taking a bite!

[canreallymove]

Well, it might be a thought. Maybe sniffin' it?
