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.

Do you think that's a true possibility in this case? I know it would be simpler to exclude it, but...

[given the last murder's reliance on magic...]

[filialdeception]

It's entirely possible, and while it would be simpler to exclude it, it might be best for us to consider it as a possibility until we can rule it out for certain.

Either way, it seems the killer is a rather talented foe. In retrospect, I feel like it may be less of a surprise they managed to kill so many people.

[decrypter]

I wonder, though, did they kill everyone? Nine people is a lot to deal with, and given the scattered locations, it seems risky...though I'm sure there's a magic that could make it possible.

[filialdeception]

I suppose you're right in that it seems a little too inconceivable, even if it was for example, a particularly strong, otherworldly person.

Everyone does have their limits...so perhaps whomever killed this student at least took care a majority of the bodies, or at least more than one.

[decrypter]

That's very true. At the least, we can pinpoint certain groupings that were probably killed by the same person. But all in all, I'm not sure...I've never had to do anything like this before.
