Is anyone up at this time? If so, you'll notice the power flickers—sorry if you were working on anything and hadn't saved in a while. This goes for the entire school, but it only lasts a few minutes... It's probably nothing to worry about.

The sun breaks on another beautiful day at Yogen High School. The birds are singing, the weather is clear, and several rooms seem to be a little messed up. While there isn't any immediate smell of blood when one steps into the entrance-way—a relief for those who might remember October's terrible killings—something is definitely... off.

Those who live in Star 4 or who make it their business to visit the cooking room before school starts will probably be the first to know:

It's going to be a long morning.

The current state of Alice is that he feels like the absolute worst roommate for sleeping through this apparent ransacking. And it's weird that Add would stay asleep, if he's finally returned to Star 4, when he was so displeased to discover fish in cups that other time! He doesn't like people messing with his belongings in any way, does he?!

That suspicious body-shaped lump is definitely filling his heart with dread... Should they approach the bed? Joe and Nanami get to see everything in the room as soon as Alice steps aside so he isn't blocking the whole view by standing in the doorway.

[waitingforplayer2]

Nanami's gonna see the state of the room, see the motionless lump, and rush over to the bed to check it because the last time this happened everything did not turn out great but we might as well get it over with--

[adsum]

It's Add!

No, just kidding. It's the anatomical model.

[gatetohell]

Uh.... okay? Weird why is this here?

Looking at it closer is there anything that stands out? Please don't say it has real organs.

[adsum]

Nope! It's just the model. Seems like someone was trying to play a fun little prank on Add and his roommates...

Particularly since, come to think of it, Add hasn't been in the dormitories since around 9:30 PM last night. Where did he go, Cotton-Eyed Joe.

[gatetohell]

Has PTSD flashbacks to my Irish Stepping days

ANYWAY well... this is still sus af. Joe's gonna propose they go look for Add then.

[waitingforplayer2]

Before they can leave, Nanami's gonna check the drawer cause it seems like a mess. Maybe one of them will be able to tell if there's anything missing?

[shimashima]

Well... This is a new storage location for the anatomical model, so Add probably didn't go to bed with her last night. Probably...

Yes, can they take a look at the drawer before they begin their search?

[adsum]

They sure can!

Nanami and Alice will find that Add's school uniform is missing—you know, the one he sewed the cat-hood to. Weird.

[waitingforplayer2]

Okay by this point Nanami's starting to get the sense that Add is, somehow or other, gone, so she's gonna do this properly. Let's investigate the beds more closely, including underneath them. (Sorry if you were sleeping, Hinata-kun.)

[adsum]

She'll find something under Add's bed!

And that something is this little shit, aka Massacre, Add's little guard... pet... thing. He'll shock her a little electrically, but just seems to be guarding the usual fare that's beneath Add's bed: his engineering/science/etc books. Bookshelves are for squares and hoarding is IN.

[gatetohell]

Okay let's not mess with that thing and Add's stuff...

He'll help Nanami up after that, checking to make sure she's okay. Hopefully it wasn't too serious of a shock.

Thought did cross my mind tho: After making sure Nanami's okay, Joe's gonna hate it but if he takes the anatomical figure apart is there anything hidden inside?

[shimashima]

High school girls are brave, Chiaki Nanami is so proactive... Alice feels guilty about her getting that shock, though, so while he'll step back to let her and Joe have their Wholesome Moment, he's worried about Joe taking the anatomical model apart by himself (especially given Joe's track record of things happening)... Don't do it alone, Jou Tazuna!!!

[adsum]

There isn't! There is still one more clue to find in here, though. Might have to do with that missing doll Alice noticed earlier. Wonder where it went?

[shimashima]

Where could that doll be? Can they search every remaining unoccupied bed? The... alien (?) plant...?

[adsum]

It's not in the beds and it's not in the alien(?) plant... but searching around will lead to its discovery in the trash can. How rude. Add always keeps it by his pillow; he'd never throw Apollyon, Dread Lord of Collusion away.

This makes that the last clue though! Good work.

[waitingforplayer2]

Nanami's gonna run back to Moon 1 to get her hoodie and backpack because this is probably going to be a long morning.

Also check whether Sou's there while she's at it, she didn't actually notice when she got up whether he'd gotten back from his overnight shift yet.

[notsosou]

[zzzzzzzzzzz

he's once more in his bunk, dead asleep. there's a phone nearby on the covers which seems to have several missed alarms

you should probably get him up for school reasons as well as murder reasons]

[waitingforplayer2]

[ Shin. Shin wake up you have math class.

Also there's been a murder maybe? But more importantly MATH CLASS. ]

[shimashima]

[ Yes! He must rise for all of these reasons! ]

[gatetohell]

[WAKEY WAKEY EGGS AND BAKEY MY MAN]

[notsosou]

[NOT MATH. ALSO WHY ARE YOU ALL HERE.

He's up tho. You can see the second stage of regret when he remembers he's also teaching today.

Another murder...?]

[waitingforplayer2]

[ No idea, we're going on a quest to find a maybe-murdered Add, Sou you wanna come? :) ]

[waitingforplayer2]

ow ow ow it's fine just give her a second-- OW

what else is even in here, nanami's gonna scan the room from where she's sitting while trying to shake the ELECTRIC SHOCK, add you jerk

[adsum]

Nothing else! You three are good to go.
