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.

04/12 06:00

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.

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

BODY: KOMAEDA

[adsum]

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?

[decrypter]

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

[silentabyss]

Clear signs of Add Crimes™

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

[adsum]

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.

[silentabyss]

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...

[starrypoint]

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

[silentabyss]

noah doesn't want to be friends with subaru anymore

[adsum]

This is the right choice.

[commences]

please punch him

[starrypoint]

LONCHAN!!!!! YOU CAN GET KISSED TOO? LET HIM BOOBILY MAKE HIS WAY BREASTILY OVER THERE AFTER THIS

[crystallomancy]

die?

[silentabyss]

listen if subaru wants to kiss noah he has to go brUSH HIS FUCKING TEETH AND WASH HIS FACE FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[decrypter]

whatever works

[adsum]

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.

[starrypoint]

hold up alice said im on my way out too

[samuraiwomen]

.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................hm

[silentabyss]

so you know those moments where something happens and you literally sit there in abject shock for a solid sixty seconds just. staring. at the scene.

that's noah right now. watching this shit happen. sitting there. baffled away from crying for approximately the next minute before he just angrily shakes his head, writes all of that down because he knows he's going to have a hard time explaining it later, and then

he walks over and he tries to take the crystal out of subaru's mouth. you stupid fucker.

[decrypter]

YOU KNOW WHAT noah help we gotta do the Heimlich on komaeda

and then maybe subaru come on

[silentabyss]

gonna help with his awesome arm muscles he hides under his jacket whatup

[adsum]

Hell yeah, get that rock.

Once Subaru's been kicked off and gets to be high as a kite for mumblemumblesometimemumble, they'll be able to perform the Heimlich on Komaeda! The glowing pink crystal goes flying out, and omaeda returns to life.

And immediately starts choking on his own blood again; if he's not treated quickly, he's going to die, but returning the crystal to his mouth will put him back into stasis so he can be carried to somewhere or to someone that can keep him from shuffling off this mortal coil.

[decrypter]

SHOVES IT BACK IN HIS MOUTH

EAT IT

[rearranger]

Once people are done investigating the body, Ranger is going to at least make an attempt to confiscate Komaeda's things from them... But whether or not that succeeds, he's going to take his boyfriend thanks.

[decrypter]

he can have it all after helena finishes impersonating komaeda on the network

[rearranger]

helena's so valid for that, he apprecaites her
