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.

okay first of all: noah is tired of walking in on the corpses of his friends but he's not going to cry yet because he's past that. he will cry later

second of all he's sending a network ping ~~because I need help with investigations as I am silly~~ that just says forest basement exit come asap and that's all, pls help him

anyway Noah does not believe Add is capable of death because it's Add so he's going to check their pulses

terrible, awful, bad vibes. but she remembers where this is, so Helena's coming. hopefully Noah left the door open or something but she can navigate there without light.

what do you need, mr. ebalon...what do we have to taptap and do

Edited 2022-04-09 22:52 (UTC)

noah will politely ask helena to taptap for the missing poison ivy clump which he points out while sounding like he's trying not to have a mental breakdown. we can start small for now

not starting small...

ok, here we go, looking for the poison ivy. when is he going to say that there's two bodies here.

LET'S JUST SAY THAT HE DEFINITELY SAID THAT BEFORE SHE DID THE PING I'M CRYING HELP

IF HE DID THAT SHE'S NOT PINGING SHE NEEDS TO LOOK AT THE BODIES FIRST LET'S SAY HE DIDN'T

CRYING.

Helena's tap-tapping will reveal the missing clump is not too far from the bodies! Nothing pings for being in them, though.

Neither of them have pulses! Which might not be very new for Add, given he has a Weird Void Body, but is pretty new for Komaeda despite looking like he's always on death's door. Exciting. They're also not breathing, as a note.

Which body will he be looking at first specifically? Komaeda is on top of Add, so he'll have to shove him off if he wants to check out the latter more in depth.

Noah doesn't exactly want to mess with crime scenes because people get mad at that, so real quick he pulls out his sketchbook and tries not to cry again as he loosely scrawls out the scene on paper. He read it in a book once okay

Alright now he's gonna check out Komaeda and mess with the crime scene, with Helena here to help of course

That's our Noah! So responsible.

Komaeda is face-down with his head resting on Add’s chest, just below where the core-hole is. His arms are also pulled up onto the chest. There is a hole clean through his neck that has since been filled with sharp clusters of pink crystal, making it look like some weird space shit was shot through it instead of a bullet. Despite looking like a dead body, Komaeda is actually... warm.

Will Noah turn him over?

let's...turn him over....

Clear signs of Add Crimes™

Noah adds this to his sketch and turns the body over.

He's smiling! Very hopeful, eyes closed, it's Komaeda. You know how he is.

Which is probably a little uncanny with the rest of him: he has red blood all over his neck and down his shirt, but he's also covered in pink/black blood from where he was laying on top of Add. There's a similar mix of blood on both his hands, and while he sure is smiling, there's pink and red blood dripping out of his mouth.

There are some wood splinters in his hair, as well as a small amount of blood, though there's no sign of injury there.

Finally, his throat is bulging weirdly, as if there's something inside of it; the spot in his neck where the wound is located is very hard and hot to the touch, too.

pleasant!

Noah makes the executive decision to suck it up and open Komaeda's mouth to check in his mouth — he knows Add's blood probably shouldn't be in there and also what the Fuck did he swallow. If he uses some celestial magic to make a tiny light can he see down there, or...

he's a smart person if he follows around the forest enough he'll find them, hello subaru is here

..............................................................................

oh, he's gonna repress this a hot moment too, pressing his lips tight together and clenching his fists so he doesn't, you know, throw hands with the trees yet. hi noah, hi lena, he'll give them a brief greeting "haha who missed murder mornings right" and then he'll

trip and kiss komaeda on those dead ass warm lips. why did we need to kiss can't we just press his throat and make it come up like a snake

noah doesn't want to be friends with subaru anymore

This is the right choice.

please punch him

whatever works

Nice trip and nice dice roll!

It doesn't wake Komaeda up, but Subaru gets to experience a little hallucinating like he's high from the red and pink blood mixture... before he feels half of a crystal go into his mouth and he conks the fuck out.

Like Komaeda, he has no pulse and he's no longer breathing. But they're sharing a crystal now, like the world's worst attempt at baby birding someone.
