SECOND INVESTIGATION

[whimsicalism]

INVESTIGATION

After last Friday's horrific discovery, the march toward the weekend must be filled with dread for some of Ira Academy's students. This week, the Principal's tailored threats became even more personal. Tuesday's motive announcement received a more noticeable reception across several members of the student body. In most cases, this would be a blessing: Good children care about protecting their loved ones.

Now, however, it's a threat. Someone with loved ones to protect might have felt there was nothing left to lose--except, perhaps, another classmate. Despite the lack of a real sun (or, truly, any genuine weather outside at all) the morning is a gloomy, cursed one. For anyone feeling concerned about what might be waiting out there, it might be a little hard to emerge from the warm safety of bed. Others may have felt the oppressive fear on the other end of things, unable to fall into a true sleep and still wide awake come morning.

Will this Friday see a repeat of last week, gruesome and bloody early in the morning? Or has everyone chosen to wait out the danger, refusing to give in to their fears? There's only one way to find out.

Where will your weary morning legs take you today, children?

[ As is typical in the mornings, Valmont plods out of his room and in the direction of the cafeteria, yawning. He's not a morning person. ]

[whimsicalism]

[It seems that nothing is amiss in the cafeteria, feel free to get a snack or sleep.]

[canreallymove]

[Well, he's still working on his project to redo the art room, so he's going to be doing that with a yawn as he walks upstairs.]

[whimsicalism]

[About that... there's something strange near the back of the art room, close to the workshop door.]

[lets_dewey_it]

_{[Something was still eating away from him in the back of his mind. Maybe he had to relax for a bit... So upstairs he went to the Sensory Deprivation Room to submerge himself... that is, if there's nothing there.]}

[whimsicalism]

[Yasu is right behind you, alive, thankfully.]

[keyringwitness]

[Yasu's rationale for going to the chamber is grimmer than Dewey's, so much so that she feels vaguely guilty when she sees him going inside to actually make use of its facilities rather than to check for bodies.]

Ah- Um-

S- Sorry for intruding, I'll, er, be on my way.

[She scooches toward the exit.]

sensory deprivation chamber

[keyringwitness]

[With the oppressive atmosphere and the morning and the events of last week still on her mind, the first thing Yasu does once she gets up is to check the sensory deprivation chamber. Seems like an ideal place to murder someone and/or stow away the body, in her opinion.]

Re: sensory deprivation chamber

[whimsicalism]

[There's a living duck here! Say hi to Dewey.]

Re: sensory deprivation chamber

Mornin', Yasu. _{[He headed out after opening the pod and deciding submersion's a bit too extreme for relaxation, heading in the meditation room's direction.]}

[spychic]

[Anya will check the Workshop! Might as well look there again...]

[whimsicalism]

[Before you do that Anya, something probably catches your eye first.]

[violence_ensues]

[Like last time, Adorabat heads over to the gym for some quick morning workouts. It really would be a shame if Adorabat found another body here.]

[whimsicalism]

[Lightning doesn't strike twice, thankfully! There's no dead students here.]

WORKSHOP

[panglici]

[Carrie's been spending a lot of time in here this week, figuring out how to assemble an altar cross from wood cut to make birdhouses after Jeanne went all bright and sparkly at the idea.

It might look a little bit like a roadside grave marker, but... well, aside from her work (hopefully the paint is dry now?), is anything out of place here?]

[whimsicalism]

[There's something definitely up in the workshop but something else probably catches your notice first.]

Decontamination Room

[holyironmade]

[Jeanne is up early, pessimistically dressed in gym clothes. She looks to see if anything is suspicious about that chamber on the first floor.]

[whimsicalism]

[It still ominously is connected to the trial room, that room filled with monsters... but nothing much else today.]

[temmapathy]

[Emma is going to head towards the first-aid room. Maybe they can prevent it somehow...?]

[whimsicalism]

[Sadly there's nothing left to do for your friend. The first aid room is clear.]

[whimsicalism]

[Almost like clockwork, the speakers screech on and the sheep pause to help sign the ominous message.]

Wake up, children. The Goatforsaken witch is dead. Find out what happened or there will be more death on your hands.

[Not exactly in the art room, per se, but.]

HEY! EDWARD! GET YOUR BUTT TO THE ART ROOM!!!

[There's some work in here, alright.]

Anything that sticks out?]

[holyironmade]

[Jeanne headed back from the decontamination room to see if anyone needed to be awoken, but... is the door to this room ajar or something?]

Parcel Service Announcement

[holyironmade]

[Jeanne comes out of Thomasin's room with a weird bundle and also has her own parcel tucked under her other arm. Thank goodness Yuta is taking care of lunchables for them.]

Forgive me for finding this area on my own. Please feel free to take a look into it yourself. Her motive photographs were not what I expected... I think we should seriously consider bringing our parcels to the trial.

What's a par sell?
