April mini-event
04/13 17:41
On Tuesday, after classes are long over and clubs just about wrapping up, those studying inside the library may notice black smoke start to fill the room. With the lack of sound, the library relies on flashing strobe lights to alert students of an emergency and the librarian with her piercing stare and domineering presence to order students to pack and leave IMMEDIATELY. The longer one lingers inside the library, the greater the sense of dread builds inside of them until they're unable to resist the student council members who have come to escort the last of the stragglers out, physically if need be.
Outside of the library, gathering students speculate about what happened, whether there was a fire, what were they planning to burn, maybe they were trying to get back at the librarian— who looks positively livid, by the way, and maybe staying clear of the library for several days until she cools off isn't a bad idea, although students will have no choice as the student council members standing guard at the door prevent anybody from reentering the library until it is deemed safe.
The library is closed for the rest of the week, and a sign on the door states that it will reopen on Monday the 19th.

Around half an hour after midnight, those sleeping on the third floor in or near the second year classrooms may feel the ground shudder beneath them. They, uh, may actually want to relocate very soon, because water bursts out of the bathroom and floods the entire floor with very cold, light pink water.
Is that a finger floating down the hall? Yeah... yeah.
By the time the first of the faculty arrives at six in the morning, the entire third floor is flooded, and water has traveled down the stairwell to the lower floors as well, although there isn't as much water as one would think, as if something more is blocking the pipes and preventing all the water from rushing out of the burst pipe at once. The water is shut off for the rest of the day so repairs can be done and the floors mopped down and dried, with the second and third years relocated to the club rooms and auditorium for classes, and the bathroom by 2-D is closed for repairs until Monday the 19th.
When the water is turned on again at the end of the day, it is still very very faintly tinged pink.

Considering that it's the middle of the night and most people, if they need to sleep, are doing so, it may be a while before anybody wanders into the auditorium. When they do, they're stricken with a bout of vertigo that passes almost as soon as it starts, and they may notice a body on the ground in front of the largest glass case in the back of the room. As in, the body inside the case is still there, and now there is a second body lying on the ground in front of it in a pool of dark red blood. A charming little note has been stuck to the front of the body's uniform, and a fluffy white cat runs out of the room while a skinny black cat peers at whoever is there from behind the large glass case.
Whether the people who initially discover the body decide to look for clues first or go wake and gather everybody to bring to the auditorium, they should be aware that the other students and faculty will be arriving in just a little over two hours. What are y'all going to do!!! You tell me.

Whether the body is left or moved, though, a missing student quickly becomes obvious, and the assistant principal orders a school assembly in the auditorium on Monday the 19th, looking very pale and slightly sick, which may or may not be due to the presence of a ...very realistic """doll""" on display in a glass case behind her. She announces that the student council president has passed away, and that students who report information regarding the situation to the faculty will receive merit points for their assistance, and whoever can provide indisputable proof of what happened and who was involved will receive 300 merit points, enough to put them well above even the best of students.
She also brings up the destruction in the library the other day, and how the pipes had burst overnight, and how the ceiling tiles seem to have been falling in places and have led the janitor to discover rats in the walls. Since the school will be closed over spring break, she will be having repairmen do extensive repairs on the school, including a very thorough fumigation to ensure no rats or bugs or anything of the sort left inside the school will come out of spring break alive.
Be good! Be safe! You are all dismissed.

OOC
- ✽ Please note that silence is strictly enforced in the library at all hours, and in the rest of the school from midnight to 6 AM. Although the library and the bathroom by 2-D are closed until the 19th, the doors are not locked and both rooms are accessible for investigation when the npcs are not present.
- ✽
- ✽ Please use the toplevels below for investigations, and the post itself to discuss amongst yourselves who the culprit may be. There is no deadline for solving this murder, but the solution will net 300 points to one character who reports it to the faculty and will guarantee you the winning bid on the body in the glass case.

Investigation: Student council meeting
Time: After classes on 4/19
Action: Kokichi will feign illness so he can skip the last class of the day and get Ain to let him into the student council room before classes end so he doesn't risk running into anyone. He'll find a place to hide in the supply closet (and situate himself so he's not immediately visible if anyone opens it) and try to eavesdrop on the meeting.

Shortly after 4pm he can hear the door opening and closing as the student council members enter the room, sometimes on their own and sometimes together. Most than once, one of them goes "shoo" or "you can't come in here" but in a quiet, low voice that one might use to speak to a small animal.
There's some huffing and murmuring but no clear conversation until apparent everybody's arrived and somebody starts to speak— somebody else interrupts at almost the exact same moment— and he can hear an argument quickly escalate over who should lead this meeting until there's a sharp crack! and silence falls over the room, after which a soft girl's voice says to shut up and stop acting so immature, and not to forget the purpose of the meeting. There's a little more grumbling, but no outright complains, so the girl proceeds with roll call, answering her own name, Maya Arisu, with a soft "here" when she gets to it. There are eight student council members present at the meeting and Kokichi learns their names but those names aren't relevant we're moving on.
To summarize the meeting, they talk about how to elect the new student council president. The two third years say it should naturally be one of them, and they're both qualified so let's just do the vote and end the meeting. Another student accuses them of not taking the time to think about how the situation came across, that what if one of them killed the late student council president just to open up the position and that they're sore losers who took things too far. He can hear Maya's voice telling the student that they're being too hasty with that accusation. Another student pipes up that they think Maya should be the president because she's good at getting everybody to calm down and stay focused, and another voice shoots down the idea because what do you know, you're just a first year?
tl;dr it's a mess that I'm not writing out, but he gets the sense that the student council members don't work together well when they're not united under common leadership. The first thing they vote on is whether the new president should be closed to the third year members or not, but with the abundance of first and second years, they decide that the position will be open to any member. The second vote is for the president- both third year members put their names in as candidates, and so does Maya. In the end, Maya gets voted to be president, but in between the scattered applause, he can hear the third year members saying that this isn't fair, somebody else telling them to stop being sore losers, another person warning Maya to be careful and watch herself around those guys, and Maya saying that she'll be okay.
She ends the meeting there, and a few seconds later, the door opens and slams shut. And opens again and closes more softly, and again as the student council members file out of the room. The last person to leave shuts off the light and after closing the door, jiggles the handle to make sure it's properly locked before they go turn and go home.
