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.

[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!]

[temmapathy]

[Well...she'll take a peek at the playground as well, already feeling just the slightest bit more nervous...]

[whimsicalism]

[There's nothing in the playground this time. The curse is broken?]

[temmapathy]

[She'll just keep moving on...towards the cafeteria? Anything there?]

[whimsicalism]

[Nothing odd here.]

[temmapathy]

[...school store?]

[whimsicalism]

[Just Adorabat.]

[temmapathy]

[Oh hey Adorabat. And Slimy. Time to head upstairs, she supposes. But she'll peek in the decontamination room on her way up, just in case.]

[violence_ensues]

Hey, Emma. I'm going to check the AV room then sweep the second floor.

[And off she goes.]
