[ 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.

dying is sooooooooo annoying
so fess up who did it

✽ 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.

Character(s): Turing
Location: 2nd floor
Action: Searching the classrooms! They also look around the windows and stairs, other possible entry points, etc to try and ascertain whether the culprit has tried to blend in with the rest of the students. They can detect recent-ish movement by using their thermal sensors too, idk if that helps

[adsum]

There are a lot of spiders in 3-B. Depending on whether the Tutoring Club met in 3-A and/or Gardening Club met in 3-E, Turing would be able to detect residual heat from bodies in there. But it's also like 90+F indoors so idk if that messes with thermal sensors at all.

None of the classroom windows are currently open. What are they looking for to ascertain whether the culprit tried to blend in with the rest of the students?

[begetblue]

uhhhh I'm thinking any heat from the tutoring club would probably fade too quick with the high ambient temperature, but Turing is in the gardening club so they might get that one if the club met that day! Also they will try very hard to not step on any of the spiders but they'll get a little freaked out if they get like covered in spiders or something

I guess they'll be looking for cloth that got snagged somewhere or some other fibers near the windows to see if there's evidence of someone trying to rappel down or up the building during all the chaos? Just in case the culprit has an npc as an accomplice or something. (I don't know if npcs being able to open any window is common knowledge though, so never mind that if it isn't!) Otherwise they'll be looking for any evidence the windows have been disturbed or maybe handprints/fingerprints on the glass?

[adsum]

Turing would be able to see npc students open and close windows throughout the month, mostly after classes when there aren't teacher around to yell at them for letting bugs in. That said, almost all the windows do have fingerprints to some degree on them, but they wouldn't be able to tell when those prints were left, and if they watch the janitor make rounds before school is closed, they'll see that the janitor mostly focuses on mopping the floors, taking out the trash, and cleaning any major messes like the remains of Ball Monokuma that Komaeda hasn't retrieved, rather than wiping prints off windows. There doesn't seem to be any cloth/fibers/etc caught on or near the windows that suggests somebody climbing up/down them.
