✽ Silence lifts at six in the morning, and there is still quite a bit of time before classes start. Early risers who decide to return to school from the dorms cross the courtyard and open the double doors and—- something cold and wet drips down onto their head: old blood from the torso of a student(?) bound by rope and strung up above the doors to the courtyard, body burned black and cut in half at the waist.
✽ The air is heavy, and the entire school smells of blood.
✽ Hello (: there are nine bodies to find (:

OOC

✽ Please use the sign-ups toplevel below to begin investigating. A mod reply will link to the corresponding section below, organizing investigation by location and body.
✽ Throughout the mini-event, progress will be tracked in the table below, noting un/explored relevant locations and the number of clues found in each location. When a clue is found, it will be noted in the subject line of the mod response. Clues found on the bodies that hint at the murderer(s) will be included under the location in which they were found.
✽ Please allow new players to investigate first, before doubling up and investigating more than one body/location.

Character(s): Add (+ body guarders, probably, dwbi)
Location/body: All 9 8 bodies, there have only ever been 8 bodies, what u talkin bout haha
Action: me still hung up on void things while everyone else is actually trying to solve the murder but I SWEAR THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL, ANYWAY,

After what happened with gonbei-chan, Add wants to know if some, all, or none of the remaining bodies trigger a response from the shadow students. We're not dumping any more bodies into the void (Amami would definitely kill him), so he'll be moving any bodies in places that are too close to/overlapping with the void to prevent that, and we're just taking a very brief trip to The Dark World™. Only long enough to see if any shadows are drawn to each body before bailing everyone out w\ mirror pieces so the bodies can't get dragged off.

Of the 8 remaining bodies, are the shadows drawn to any of them?

Future reference is always good!

Of the 8 remaining bodies... the shadows are drawn to none of them. The shadows go about their business as if the bodies don't even exist, the same way they don't seem to react to characters visiting unless they're dead/dying/violent towards the students
