January mini-event
01/12 06:00
✽ 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.

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.

Looks like... they're both blonde, right? [Blonde is blonde, isn't it? Natsume's right, it does narrow things down immensely.] If we compare them we could get a... better... idea...
[Trailing off as he suddenly feels the pressure of eyes. Just gonna slowwwwly turn his head.]
no subject
The moment that he hears that the hair was blond, he freezes up and then Natsume keeps talking. Does this guy WANT him to die?! ]
Hold it!
Why the hell are you two treating me like I'm a suspect here?!
no subject
Everyone is a suspect in a murder investigation until they can be cleared completely of suspiCION.
( Japanese law is guilty until proven innocent etc etc etc, we can rule out people without blonde or orange hairs for now unless we suddenly have people with wigs. On the other hand, they don't really need to glitch to the other school, and he thinks about it for about two seconds before he looks at Shin. )
So we're going to do THAT. Hiyori-kun, go compare the color so Shirogane-kun can calm DOWN. Hiro-kun— ( he hesitates, not... quite meeting his eyes when he looks in his direction.
...His voice softens, much different than when he's talked to either Miyuki or Shin: ) You wanted to see Maya-chan, RIGHT? Come here THEN.
no subject
No amount of fixing up would make this look okay. He feels sick. ]
no subject
He's just a tiny bit miffed at being ordered around like that, but he's used this sort of thing from Sara, and it softens a little hearing Natsume soften himself... he'll let him take care of Hiro, he seems like he'd do a much better job right now than Shin could... or already has.
He heads over to Miyuki and his eyes and their indirectness have an apologetic air to them as he fishes in his pocket for the hairs and brings them out.]
I'll be quick, ahaha... Just hold still. You want to clear your name, right?
[Honestly even if the hairs match, it's not certain until they check everyone else... but Shin would honestly like them not to, just because it would make everything so much simpler. He'll at least not pull out Miyuki's hair in the process.]
no subject
Shin left him in a hell of a bind today, but none of that was particularly his fault. Not that he's too happy about this situation, or at the other two. Seriously. "Yet?" ]
Of course I do.
[ Miyuki stands there, keeping his hands visible for... really, everybody at this point. ]
Is the blond hair the only clue we have in terms of a culprit so far?
no subject
Miyuki's part of the student council. His hair being here means nothing. ]
no subject
there's no reason to killing the president if you're on the council, though. Undoubtedly Maya thought he was just going to be a good match and put him on, especially with how many people just dddied because of exams and the like.
He'll keep his voice quiet though, not because he's nicer to Hiro now but because he doesn't want to get interrupted. )
Then where it was found becomes imporTANT. Hiyori-kun mentioned it was by the cabiNETS, which is where he found the hamMER. ( ... ) But I'll admit I have my doubts about if it was actually used in the crime or if the whole thing is a red herring to frame Shirogane-kun. He's turning out to be an extremely easy tarGET.
no subject
There's been others... It's kinda circumstantial, honestly.
[Spoken like a man who's found out that it's a perfect match against his wishes and wants to keep kicking this can down the road. He's thinking furiously. His brain's going whirr. There's nothing to say Miyuki isn't the killer; maybe he's a good actor. But until they know for sure... yeah let's head stabbing off at the pass. Shin has a nose for how easily a group can pick and turn on someone.]
Miyuki... you're in here fairly frequently, aren't you?
no subject
Seriously-- there's a hammer involved, and blond hair that really, he wouldn't be surprised if it was his. His cooperation will only get him out of here sooner, hopefully. ]
Two days a week, at the very least. Although I haven't been on the council long enough to say if it's necessarily "frequent".
[ There have only been at this point... five meetings since he started? Give or take a couple. ]
no subject
[That his hair is here. The placement is suspicious, and so is the lack of any other hair... but where do the orange strands come into it?]
It's strange, isn't it? That someone went to all this trouble and would miss this. ...ahaha, but we should save some speculation for the meeting, shouldn't we? Don't know what the others have found yet.
[Is he making a mistake? He doesn't know.]
no subject
( Kind of the trend here, but also bless Kaede for just doing one later today.
...He really shouldn't take it out on Shin. Ghhh. )
But you're RIGHT. ( Logically, he is. Emotionally however— ) What should we...
( ...looking down at the
the body.
Leave it for the Student Council to take care of so she can get a little remembrance stand of rocks..? )
no subject
It's not like they haven't been called on short notice before. Just need someone like Sara to run around gathering everyone... so we can solve this incredibly unfair and unjustified death.
[Or Kaede, as the case may be. One of the September meetings had been the exact day after because of that... Guess he really doesn't understand people who don't come from a place of logic... He can't refute the trend but don't snap at him, it's not his fault that nobody has any idea what they're doing.
Speaking of... he stares down at the body as well. He still doesn't think he'll ever get used to this... but maybe the difference between his and Miyuki's reactions means he has, without even noticing? It's not the greatest thought.]
...
Hiro, she's your sister... What do you think?
[Does he... want to take the body home to their parents? Does the fiction there's anything outside the school even allow for that sort of thing? Shin's realising he's not entirely sure what usually happens.]
