✽ 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.

Lily May was sitting on one of the desks grooming herself. She was offended by the disturbance everyone was causing and left thanks to all the noise and movement.

[notsosou]

Just to double check, there's no sign Maya's uniform experienced bleaching, right?

[adsum]

Correct! Aside from where the joints were nailed in, there's no damage to the uniform. Likewise the only staining would be the blood from where the nails were. There's no discoloration or other signs of damage.

[notsosou]

This might be a weird question, but what is the ceiling like? Is it just flat drywall or tiles or are there visible joists etc?

OH also what do the windows look like, are they sash windows or do they have like those sticky upper things on the inside?

AND HOW HIGH IS THE CEILING?

[adsum]

They're just drywall! There are some lights on there though, maybe a vent or two since I think those are commonly put there, but it's otherwise it's just a flat ceiling.

They're sliding windows with the lock on the side.

The standard ceiling height for a classroom seems to be about 10 feet, so it's somewhere around that height.

[notsosou]

Oh sweet, thank you so much
Were the windows locked at this time?

[adsum]

They were locked tight. I'll also confirm that there weren't any signs of the locks being tampered with or anything of that nature.

[notsosou]

Although they haven't been tampered with, what's the locking mechanism for the windows, do they take a key (what kind) or are just like a physical pin or slidy thing?

Also Maya's pockets, Len wants to know what position the items were within them and I want to know what the 'odds and ends' are bc i have a pathological need to know how many paperclips Maya was carrying. Is the Student Council Key a loose key or is it on a lanyard/string/keyring etc?

Also, is there any gap between the door and the floor, or between it and it's frame?

[adsum]

The window has a latch lock. It follows similar rules to the door, so it can only be (un)locked from the inside.

Can you clarify what you mean by the position? Generally when things are in you're pocket they just kind of hang there. It's just some loose change and maybe a couple paperclips and some lint or something, there's not a lot there. The key is on a keyring, but it's not on the same one as her house keys, and it is the only key.

There is no gap between the door and the floor or its frame.
