✽ The silence breaks at six to welcome in another crisp Wednesday morning. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and there's a surprise waiting for anyone who decides to sludge through the snow to inspect the area in front of the auditorium outside. There's a deep indentation in the snow, just large enough for a frozen, charred body to fit in.
✽ There are a total of three bodies to find. All three bodies have now been found.

Character(s): Kiyotaka Ishimaru
Location/body: The rooftop
Action: I just noticed it specifies inside the main school building, but is there anything to be found when Ishimaru goes up to check the roof in search of anyone having been pushed? Or anything otherwise out of place?

[adsum]

Ishimaru heads up to the rooftop, nearly slipping on the smear of blood he finds on the fourth floor stairwell that crosses from one wing of the floor to the other. Turning towards the right wing, he opens the door and his feet hit something heavy and solid on the ground

it's an arm

a very muscular bare arm that seems to have been torn off by the shoulder, lying in a puddle of blood that's also splattered across the floor, walls, and ceiling, but doesn't continue down the length of the hallway towards the rooftop stairs

Wow. This is a very disarming discovery!

First of all, Ishimaru will let out a loud scream, because finding any part of a body never really gets old. Then he's going to take a deep breath and try to look at that buff arm to see if there's anything else about it that stands out. What's the complexion, any other marks or wounds on it that may be identifiable?

[adsum]

The scream is very loud, maybe enough to attract other people nearby if they want to jump into an investigation thread

The arm's complexion looks tanned Icelandic, and is covered with deep scratches and bite wounds, that Ishimaru may be able to tell was done by a large creature, not a human, but while he may be able to make out some bloody footprints here and there, he cannot find any animal prints. The arm looks to be a left arm, and if he wipes the blood off the inner wrist, he will see a single tally mark

[moraloutrage]

On top of that, Ishimaru will leave a quick message on the PDA at some point.

But yeah, that's really, really looking to Ishimaru like it could belong to Sportacus. He doesn't recall anyone else around school being quite this muscular! In fact, he'll weep and call out his name as he takes in everything he can about the arm. He will wipe some of the blood with a cloth on him to see the tally mark, and then he'll look around a bit more. Now, he's going to stay by the arm and blood to watch over that area until anyone else comes to relieve him. So without moving far from the arm, what he can he see of those bloody footprints?

[adsum]

He can see that they're scattered in the area where most of the blood is (end of the hall near the stairs), like Sportacus had been walking and turning in place, footsteps smeared and messy.

There are no footsteps in the stairwell, nor in the left wing of the fourth floor where this trail of blood leads to the bathroom at the end of that hall
