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.

If that's what you're going for, be clear about it, yeah? You didn't even describe what their expressions were before pointing out the people close to them specifically, and I wouldn't call the transfer students as a group "close," so it would've been easy to get the wrong idea.

( says the guy who considered himself very close to both of them, so it didn't exactly sound as general as she's claiming to his ears. not the point though. )

Working backwards, we should start with the strongest evidence first, then we'll see how the rest ties in. Anything you noticed about their injuries, and where we did find the rest of the evidence, 'cause the two of you got a better look at the scene than I did.

When everyone hears about that, I'm sure they can put two and two together, don't you think?

Baachan, Ama-chan, let's get along~. I know she doesn't make it easy, and this is a seriously personal case for you, but you're both right that we've gotta work with what we know and start at the bottom to get to the top. There's no point to even thinking about whodunit until we get that out the way.

[don't be so heated...]

Was the rest of the evidence in 2-C? Where you guys found the note?

And that was my mistake then, I'm sorry. And it's true that not all transfer students will be close to each other, though. The same goes for the regular students as well, too.

[Another sigh, although it's not necessarily directed at anyone else but herself. She knows when to back off on a clear point that's being made. There's no animosity in her voice in the slightest, just something a little apologetic.

But then she hears Subaru cut in, pauses, and then speaks up again, a little more thoughtfully:]


The classroom itself was splattered in blood-- actually, hold on.

[She turns the page of her notebook and sketches out the classroom and draws a circle in the area where the blood's location was at--between the desk and the center and marks that it was a linear splatter from the front and back of the classroom.

Basically, a drawn description of this.]


Does this help?
