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?

[There is, actually. It looks like there should be more paint in some places.]

[keyringwitness]

[As in, even accounting for all the red paint spilled around Thomasin, there's more paint missing than there should be? Is it just the red that's missing, or are more colors gone, too?

Yasu begins patrolling around the room, taking it in in its entirety. Are there any signs of a struggle?]

[whimsicalism]

[It would be hard to notice at first glance but if Yasu takes her time it does seem that there are a few spots around the art room that have been recently cleaned.

There doesn't seem to be any signs of a struggle.]

[keyringwitness]

[Hmmmmm. Yasu goes back to the doorway and walks a path toward Thomasin's body. Are the oddly-clean spots near the path she's tracing here? In essence, she's trying to deduce if the culprit learned from last week and cleaned up their footprints.]

[whimsicalism]

[Some of it seems to be in that path, yes.]

[keyringwitness]

[Has anything aside from the unusual cleaning (and the mess near Thomasin's body) been disturbed?]

[whimsicalism]

[Not that you can tell.]
