FIFTH INVESTIGATION

[whimsicalism]

INVESTIGATION

After Thursday night, there are a few unexpected emotions injected into the atmosphere of Ira Academy: longing, determination...perhaps even hope, for some. After everything that's been learned and shared between realms, some students may even find themselves believing that victory can be achieved without any more death. Maybe there's just one more investigation, one more puzzle, one more piece of missing context left to find before the way forward is clear.

There's no shaking the knowledge of past patterns, however, and the morning brings with it a familiar apprehension. Ira Academy itself may not have gotten the memo about the shift in vibes. It's a dreary pseudo-fall morning like the week before, ushering in a bleak and eerily silent day as the students rise one by one to find what's in store for them this time. Many have said it by now - bad things happen on Thursday nights, and no amount of hearing the voice of a lost companion over an old touchtone phone can completely erase that experience.

Though your numbers are fewer now than they ever have been, the school is so much bigger than it was during your first week at Ira Academy. The extra amount ground makes it all the easier to recognize just how many of you there no longer are to cover it. The five vast floors of the school, now under new management, wait for someone to see if Kakuya's incentive forced another participant to play along - best get exploring to find what secrets are out there.

[Time to get up. Anya begins her investigation by looking into the Soda Fountain.]

[whimsicalism]

[There's a noise when you open the door but... there's something else in here, too. Someone, actually. Why is someone taking a nap in here?]

[temmapathy]

[Well, Emma's up, nervousness thrumming through her bones. She gets out of bed, and heads out into the hallway, where she starts knocking on everyone's doors. Just as a precaution.]

[whimsicalism]

[There's nothing off in the dorms, at least!]

[violence_ensues]

[It has gotten really lonely, hasn't it? Good thing Adorabat found a new monster fremd that may or may not be riding on Adorabat as she flies off to the Gym.]

[whimsicalism]

[There's nothing of note in the gym, other than your new friend with you!]

[gotnothing]

[ Ava figures the best thing to do is go against her natural inclination away from the place and look at the library. ]

[whimsicalism]

[It looks like there's nothing amiss in the library.]

<sub>[Unfortunately, he's certain the pattern hasn't been broken this time...

Upstairs all the way on the fifth floor, he's checking the Little Fears room. He was going to check it out after Adorabat told him about the stuff in here anyway.]</sub>

[whimsicalism]

[This strange room is, luckily, clear.]

[whimsicalism]

[There's no noise from the speakers as you hear a voice that could just be a thought. It's as if Kakuya is right behind you, even if she's clearly not.]

It... seems... the stakes were raised... even without Kakuya doing much... The satori and witch are dead... you should do something before... you join them, hm?

Two people?! Why?!

Soda Fountain

[whimsicalism]

[Kakuya, why do we have this?]

[violence_ensues]

[Adorabat sighs. She's not angry. Just disappointed. Time to get to looking.]

...Slimy, this is a crime scene. Don't eat anything or disturb anything. It'll corrupt the evidence, okay...?

[She gently sets Slimy on the floor, then will head on over to the body. How is it positioned, in what orientation, and what immediate wounds or marks are there?]

[temmapathy]

[Well, Emma might as well follow Adorabat up here. What non-body things are there to find?]

Re: Soda Fountain
