[ The following half-cryptic message goes up in the early morning before class, at the exact same time as two people are let into the faculty office to talk to the Vice Principal. ]

S.Saihara

Sorry. I should have told everyone a lot sooner.
I know that.
But... if I did that, there was a chance it might have become about the merit points. And no matter what, I wanted to prevent that at any cost.

The person who did it might have been wrong... but they're still an important friend that we lived with.
That's something that shouldn't be reduced to a number.
The fact that it can be is what's messed up in the first place.
So maybe I wanted it to be a message. Not only for that person, but for the rest of us too.

[ There's no further explanation that follows, and any comments, no matter how important, will obviously not be answered for at least a few hours, depending on how things settle. ]

It's a bright and sunny day. The heat is unbearable, with sunlight reflecting off the whites of the outer walls of the school building and seeming to concentrate right in the middle of the courtyard where it comes off the concrete in waves. In desperation for a breeze, you open a window— or perhaps you can't, and simply rattle the window latch futilely— when something large and black falls from the sky and smacks into the pavement, black turned red turned nausea and vertigo and the consequential darkness of the school when a blood sacrifice has been observed.

Black shadows students start to converge upon the body in the courtyard, although their efforts to drag the body into the expanding void in the auditorium can be thwarted by breaking a mirror and returning to reality— just in time to see a second body hit the pavement in the courtyard and send you right back. Escape once more and... a third body hits the ground, bright blue eyes staring lifelessly up at the sky above.

The sky stares back, dark storm clouds gathering in the horizon. Tonight, and through the weekend, it will rain.

✽ Please use the toplevels below for investigations. For some semblance of organization, there will be a separate toplevel for body investigation, location investigation, and suspect investigation, as well as one for general questions.
✽ As a reminder, npc students can open/close any window; pc students in classes with at least one rank (3-A, 3-B, 2-C, 2-D, 2-E, and all of the first year classes) can open/close windows in 1-B, 1-D, and 2-C; and pc students in classes that gained at least one rank in the past month (3-A, 2-C, 2-D, 2-E, 1-B, 1-D, and 1-E) can exit through the courtyard-facing window in 1-D.
✽ Unless there's an ic reason to argue otherwise, npc faculty will remove all three bodies by the end of the day.

You're right, they're going to avenge Sena themselves

The cult will be sad that somebody stole from them but they can replenish the candles so they won't feel too bad, it's all good

AND YEAH, PLEASE HELP HIM UP BEFORE CHIAKI GETS THERE
There is no disturbed tiles on the ceiling or remarkable debris on the floor in 1-D

[sisters]

Good for them!! They have names now, nothing can stop them!!

Anyway, now that Saihara's up they can both head over to the 1-D bathroom for real. Amami's still going to be keeping an eye on the ceiling the whole way there, and once they presumably go in, too. Anything that stands out at a glance?

[adsum]

Amami opens the door, and with his eyes on the ceiling he misses a little black cat come running out of the bathroom, swiping at his pants enough to snag the fabric but not draw blood.

There is nothing out of place in regards to the ceiling tiles in the bathroom or on the way there. The sink basin closest to the door is wet, and if he checks the trashcan in the bathroom he'll find used paper towels, some snot crusted tissues, an empty water bottle, and some cigarette stubs. There is no blood on anything inside.

[sisters]

BEV!!! Okay but unless Saihara has his eye out for something specific, I think that's us for now — thank you!!

[unsurely]

Comes back... I was waiting to give more people time to catch up (and do stuff), but okay, considering "Bev" led him and Izumi+Komaeda to a clue that ended up being relevant last time, Shuichi is probably going to try and follow the black cat again for a bit. (Why was it trapped in the bathroom anyway??)

Where does it go... also tbh how can he apologize to it after The Boxing...

[adsum]

Shuichi can follow it down the hall but after a while it seems as if it's just intent on getting as far away as him as possible, straight down the hall and trying to squeeze under the doors to bypass them. Depending on how long Shuichi will tail it, it travels down the fourth floor hallway down the stairs to the second floor and attempts to hide in class 3-B with the spiders. It universally doesn't not seem to like being around people and won't lead him to any more pertinent clues.

[unsurely]

Enh said "bevtrayed" and I think that deserved to be shared but anyway, okay, Bev is a mood so Shuichi does feel bad about the box though and will leave a treat (like, idk, smoked fish) for it somewhere... on the floor of the classroom... and then let it be. Who will get to it first, the cat or the spiders? This is one of those vague endings where the reader gets to decide.

[adsum]

Bev will eat any spiders that try to get at the fish
it will only eat half the fish, though... at some point Lily May will wander up and finish the rest
