(mingle) cat herding, round two

[sisters]

( on february 2, transfer students will find that there are notes hung up around the dormitory with doctor's scrawl handwriting that a few people might recognize scribbled across it. it reads: )

TRANSFER MEETING
february 2, 5:00 p.m.
dorm common room

( the early-arrivers will find that amami is already set up in the common room, making himself comfortable on the far side of one of the couches with a sketchbook, but beyond a wave and a smile he won't offer much to speak of. it's only once it looks like there's a good handful of people that he'll glance around, grimace a bit, and speak up. )

So... I'm sure you guys already know why we're here, right?

( rest in piss, hiro. legend almost took two transfer students with him on his way. )

I know I might not be the person anyone wants to hear this from, but I figure everyone's had some time to gather evidence and any witnesses we might've had by now. I don't like the idea of this continuing more than anyone else, and if we want to keep it from happening again, it's probably best if we compile what we know.

( and unfortunately what he knows is nothing, because he was busy getting stabbed, so the floor is officially open. )

---

(ICly, this meeting begins on February 1. However, to keep us from trapping ourselves in another time cube, when things start to slow down, Amami will pitch that they regroup in a couple days. The details don't matter so much, but you can assume they'll come back for more discussion intermittently if anything new comes to light before Disney. This doesn't all have to be in one day! Feel free to PM/ping me anywhere if you'd like me to add any other helpful links. )

PART ONE RECAP

[dereban]

Okay, so I'm going to go over the facts as we know them for those who missed the first meeting. No theorizing or anything, just baseline so that people don't think I'm trying to swing things in a certain favor. If any new information has cropped up, feel free to bring that up.

[She says those words rather simply and without much emotion outside of just plain old exhaustion, but that comes with the whole 'being stuck in a murder meeting' thing.]

First of all, let's start with the vice principal. She was found in the area outside of the auditorium. She had injuries that were consistent to a fall with cracked skin and several broken bones. Her body was also burned. We'll come back to that fact later.

In the faculty office, there was a note written by Maya Arisu, the former student council president that requested her to go to the student council room. It was confirmed that it was her handwriting. There were also short orange hairs in the vicinity that matched Subaru's as well.

And then we have the student council room, which was found locked. As far as I'm aware, the only way to get into the room is by using a key that can open it. According to Miyuki, the room smelled faintly of chlorine, and Maya Arisu was found nailed to the ceiling by her joints with nails. There was no damage to her uniform, but there were splotches of skin that ranged from red and irritated to blistered, comparable to what one might have to a hot shower.

Both Maya and the vice principal's skin damage are distinctly different; if anybody took any photos to share with those who missed it, that'd be great.

That's it for those two, anyway.

Separately, on the fourth floor, a bare, muscular arm that was... uh, torn off at the shoulder? Was found on the fourth floor. The area was apparently covered and scratched and there was a lot of blood that lead to the bathroom.

There was a cracked mirror with a bloody handprint on it that was roughly around the size of an adult--an older teenish? I believe someone said that Ishimaru and the bare arm were the closest matches. The trail also apparently looked like something was dragged, as well. Also, that's where Stephanie was found, unconscious. She was laying in a pool of blood, but didn't have any visible injuries. And I think there was a mention of something about her soul, but I'm no expert on that part, so I'd rather leave it to someone else to talk about it.

And I think that's the basics of it. Leave your questions, comments, concerns and theories out there, I guess. Oh, and I suppose if I'm missing anything, feel free to mention it. I wasn't exactly around to see all of this, so a lot of my information is based on what I was told, after all.

[samuraiwomen]

[ Oh! Before they start Sara has something to say! ]

Oh, and accusations are part of a fair trial, and are nothing personal! We all just want to find the truth. That being said, a lot of this will be based on hypotheticals, so please please do not stab people who are under suspicion!

[ Standing in front of Miyuki and Amami like look, try it! ]

Please raise your hands if you understand the no-stabbing rule!

[rearranger]

[ ...

He's not raising his hand. Does that mean he doesn't understand, isn't willing to agree, is messing with Sara, or just isn't not paying attention? Who knows. ]

[samuraiwomen]

[ To late, he's been. Spotted. Sara cups her hands around her mouth to yell across the room at him. ]

Ri-o Ran-ger! Please raise your hand!

[commences]

( stands danganronpa-ly )

[samuraiwomen]

Sooo close Komeada! Your hands go above your head when you raise them!

[ Do it. ]

[commences]

( makes a run for the other side of the room. )

[miirai]

Mii.

[Rika raises her sword in the air, that counts as her raising her hands, right?]

Stabbing is a bad, bad thing, after all.

[Should she be saying this with a sword in her hands...]

[taketori]

[ miyuki like. i hate this fuckin' family

he raises his hand, but really up a little bit. For Reasons. ]

[protect]

[ Nanami isn't a freak like everyone else responding, so she'll raise her hand. ]

We have top work together, not tear ourselves apart. We don't want to lose anyone else.

[ She didn't know any of them, and wasn't here for the prior investigation, but even so, the loss of two lives is more than enough. ]

[crystallomancy]

( oh natsume understands the no-stabbing rule perfectly fine, his look says so

but he's not raising his hand to agree to it and you can't make him these were two of his friends You Can't Make Him. )

[heroicpolonaise]

[roomie....... she respects your hustle for the truth it's why she's not offended you called out her classmate, so yes kaede's raising her hand, also gonna be taking a place close to amami hello friend.]

That's right. It might feel... um, good in the moment, but it won't lead us to the truth -- and we need to look for it, no matter how difficult that might be in the end. Let's work together and clear any doubts to let their souls rest in peace.

[starrypoint]

[this icon he's not raising his hands because--]

Is punching okay?

[dereban]

[Inaba raises her hand--enough to get noticed, but not exactly enthusiastically, or wholeheartedly.]

Honestly, I don't know what's so hard about doing stupid shit to those who may not even be the culprit in the first place -- better to wait for full confirmation rather than making assumptions, really. There's a reason they're called 'assumptions', after all.

Although I vote that those who need it should get a punch in at least for the guilty party.

[samuraiwomen]

...

Hold on a second everyone!!

[ She's gonna tackle him. ]

[samuraiwomen]

Ok, thats a second vote for punching! As I said before, I think punching is fine! Feel free to hit people who murder your friends.

[ Ahem, anyway. ]

But yes, lets all wait for full confirmation and maybe a reliable confession.

[commences]

( when he thought he made it, but instead he's being tackled to the floor —

!!!

... )

...vy...

( HEAVY!!!! )

[samuraiwomen]

Punching is totally fine!

[ And Subaru can hit whoever he wants, Sara trusts him. ]

[samuraiwomen]

What was that!??

[He couldn't be saying...no!! It's just her shoes that are heavy, and her uniform!!!

...grabs his arm and raises it above his head. ]

Anyway, thanks for agreeing not to stab people!

[samuraiwomen]

Thank you very much for your input...Rika-chan...

[ Why is there a sword????!?!??!?!?!??!?!?!??!?!?!?!? ]

[samuraiwomen]

[ Hell on earth which Nanami is this? Sara isn't sure how to familiar to be...better just play it safe. ]

I agree, Nanami-san. Lets work hard everyone!

[samuraiwomen]

[ Stares at him expectantly... Can you just punch them? Look at Subaru, Subaru is just going to punch them. ]

[starrypoint]

[!!!!!]

Ya~y! You're the best, Sasara~! I love you!

[commences]

( nooo!!!!!!!! the distraction failed.

...sighs... is raising!! is raising! )

You didn't raise your hands... is what I said. And here we go!!

( let him roll over if she's going to sit on him so he can lift up and raise her hands too!!! )

[crystallomancy]

( does he look like he could punch someone and make it hurt? hello? )

..........Is magic aLLOWED.
