[ 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.

[with the arm that isn't clutching onto Natsume like it's the only thing keeping her upright, she shakily points at the stairwell.]

She's... Her neck, it's...

She... Did she... [jump.]

[samuraiwomen]

... [ She pushes past Stephanie and Natsume to walk towards the door before looking back to face the two of them. ]

Natsume do you want to go take Stephanie to go find the others? [ She doesn't need to investigate this in front of them... Really they could both leave now. It would probably be better. ] Or...maybe get some water.

[crystallomancy]

...That's a good iDEA.

( Both of them are, and he rubs soothing circles into Stephanie's back as he pulls her with him a little further away. )

Come aLONG, Little Bunny... Let's find somewhere to sit and calm down, oKAY? ( Never mind it's mostly her, and his mind is just working through this step by step. ) It'll be all RIGHT. Chidouin-san'll take care of HER... So will everyone ELSE.

[she nods stiffly and allows herself to be led, even if she keeps just. glancing back, over her shoulder.]

... We didn't take care of any of the others. And even if we did, nobody will ever get in trouble for what they did. They're doing what they're supposed to be doing, here.

[crystallomancy]

That doesn't mean we have to give UP. There's not a single person here who thinks this is right from an ethical standPOINT.

( komaeda aside. )

...Neither the little wolf nor Hiro-kun know how to talk to Sato-chan aGAIN, not after what happened last year - that's more than proof enough for the fact they feel bad about IT, that they're aware it's WRONG. ( they're probably not so broken up about kouji but anyway ) I'm almost certain if the students here could live a normal school life that didn't involve hurting their PEERS, they'd do so - they'd be less at risk as well, after ALL.
