Please try to set aside an hour or so of your time this evening at around 7:30 pm to return to the study hall. I'd like to speak with as many people as possible regarding the recent incident in the school.
-H.A.


[and she won't be replying to anything posted below it.

by the time the hour rolls around, Helena's set herself up in the study hall with the rolling whiteboard she took from the school set up. the markers are a toss up between colors, but the important part is there. she's seated herself by it, and when 7:30 hits, an alarm on her PDA goes off. silencing it, she stands up.]


Thank you for coming. I realize it's another demand on people's time, but given the vast scope of the murders, there's more to be said than unsaid. With it, we had no choice but to split up and find what we could, to do our best at the least to remember and categorize what we saw. Generally speaking, I'd like if we could pool our resources to see if we might draw any parallels between what was where, and if there are any peculiarities to distinguish this or that event.

With that said - [she points behind her at the whiteboard, where Rantarou has been kind enough to write out a list] - if we could try to speak individually, we could write down anything critical shared, so we could look at it from a larger perspective. As well, if something comes up in other days, we could reconvene and add in new information.

As I am unable to do it for you, please allow my dependable transcriber to do so. And a final note before we begin - if anyone becomes overly agitated, I request that you kindly step outside until you can keep your voice to a moderate level. Sound echoes well enough without yelling added to the mix.

Let's begin.

[He probably makes an amusing sight, lingering off to the side with an almost comically small teacup and saucer that he brought along with him to this meeting. The liquid inside is still hot enough to burn his tongue, and after several attempts to try and power through it anyway he's since decided to be patient for once and wait. Or try to. Which clearly hadn't worked, as he had just tried it again.

In all honesty, he hadn't really intended to come along to this meeting, as he hadn't been present for the body games. Add bringing up talking points on the void, however, makes it worth it.

Taking a moment to smile to himself behind the rim of the teacup, he neatly places it back down on the saucer once again and leans a little more comfortably against the wall, expression easily switching back to impassiveness.]


I'm not surprised how thorough your testing has been thus far, though I have to say I am rather impressed with the lengths you must have gone to in order to test them. I'm interested in hearing the specifics of the theories you personally have that pertain to a hypothetical timeline, if you have any. Whether or not they were disproven by your results.

The void is a topic of interest to me. Places like that... understanding their function could prove useful, in the future. So I'm willing to put forth the effort.

There's no point in making hypothetical timelines when we don't even have all the data points yet. I want to see the rest of what was collected first. Observations of the bodies, and the evidence surrounding them...

[he doesn't care much for the murders themselves, but if they had an impact on the void? he want to know all the details now.]

Not even if the guesswork could lead to something? Who knows, brainstorming might dislodge a detail someone might have repressed out of fear that it was unrelated.

[He's going to take a sip of the tea again. Nope. It's still hot. Childe it's been like three seconds.] Or maybe, depending on how close you get to the truth, someone might panic. Confess their sins, come clean about their methods. There's a reason a lot of interrogations end with the suspect cracking solely from pressure alone.
