Eighth.

[trustharder]

Seven in the morning comes and goes as it always does – namely, loudly and a little obnoxiously, given the usual blaring of the klaxons. Today marks almost a full eight weeks since the Survivors awakened in the Vault; more than enough time for people to get used to how things tend to work around here on Fridays, and yet not so long that there isn't any hope that maybe (maybe) this Friday will be better. The first-floor corridor is generally quiet, in that it's free of blood; however, there are some scattered books in the hallway, near the library. Maybe it's nothing. Maybe it isn't. It might be good to make sure, though, right? >Explore?

[It is Friday. Time to wake up and...well, look for dead bodies, Mouri supposes. For a moment he thinks of who it could be this time and who the killer will be. It is depressing to think about.

When he reaches the hallway of course he sees the books. Mouri sighs]

Here we go...

[Time to go into the library]

[trustharder]

[The library is quiet, as it always is; perhaps a bit too quiet, given the circumstances.

There isn't an explosion of blood, or weapons left behind indicating that someone's been on the receiving end of the Kingmaker's punishment; however, that doesn't change the fact that there's a person sitting in one of the library chairs, unmoving.]

[captainobnoxious]

[The library isn't any place she particularly enjoys to be, but you know what, there's fishy shit every Friday and hell if she won't go check it out. Stiletto-less for now.

Maybe someone just had too good a time.]

[trustharder]

[Depends on your definition of "good time."]

[amygdalae]

[...who messed up all these books out here.

It's Friday and of course the dread is there, but its not like he can ignore this, so...

Let's follow those books into the library...]

[trustharder]

[Go forth and look, Bruce.]

[isafraid]

[After the strange turnaround with the Kingmaker's incentive this week, Speedwagon thought that, maybe, just maybe things wouldn't turn out for the worst. Could it really get better?

Maybe that's why he doesn't expect much of the scattered books in the hall. Though, seeing as they were here, it stood to reason that someone may be in... the library.

Oh boy. Let's head to the library.]

[trustharder]

[Even Speedwagon is filled with trepidation.]

[pokexplorer]

[Despite his attempts, Colress still hasn't gotten much sleep. He managed a little Thursday night, but he's still awake well before the klaxons blare.

...He almost decides to just stay in bed, but he knows what today could bring. He has to go check on everyone.

So after getting all of his Pokemon's Pokeballs together and in his pockets, he ventures out into the hall. No blood, thankfully, but...books? What are they there for?

He'll go check them out. What sorts of books are they?]

TRUST HAS (sort of) BEEN BROKEN.

[kingmakereffect]

[There's no announcement from the Kingmaker. Why should there be? No one's dead. Any attempts to contact the Kingmaker will be ignored, so it looks like you're on your own for now.

You're not done here yet though. Someone tried to kill Gabriel. You've all got some investigating to do.]

Re: LIBRARY

[sleepingkogoro]

[So it was decided Gabriel was going to be brought here, wasn't he? This is not a murder, but there's no time to relax. It is time to do detective job.

For the first time in two months Mouri is going to talk to a witness. After Gabriel gets comfortable - as comfortable as one can be after almost being murdered - Mouri will sit and try to start an interview]

Knight-san, please tell us everything you remember from the moment you arrived to the Library.

[goodforsomething]

[Someone's GONNA be dead if you put Stan's old man heart through any more emotional whiplash, holy Moses in a bucket

But okay, Gabe's fine and Bruce is gonna look after him. Great. Seemed like he didn't remember what exactly happened though, and even if there's no mass executions to avoid here, Stan would really like to know. He moves over to the chair Gabriel was sitting it, looking on the ground around it. Any handy strangling tools or anything?]

[amygdalae]

[WELL GUESS THEY'RE JUST DOING IT IN HERE... at least not everyone is crowding around Gabriel.

Bruce goes off for a bit to get Gabriel some water while Mouri questions him, returning soon enough with that and some Advil in case he needs it. He passes the water over and keeps the Advil in hand.]

Here, drink this.

FIRST FLOOR HALLWAY

[trustharder]

[pokexplorer]

[Well...with all the commotion going on in the library, Colress figures he may as well check out the hallway so it doesn't get too crowded in there. He's really glad that Gabriel is alive, though.

Still...why would someone attempt to kill him now?

He ponders that as he looks out into the hallway to see if anything is immediately off apart from those books he decided to check out instead of just wandering into the library earlier.

He's tired, okay.]

DINING HALL

[trustharder]

[captainobnoxious]

[... Really, the only thing she can think about being in the hallway are those books, and she's not particularly good with books, so she's stepping right over those things and heading to the dining hall.

What's out of place here at first glance. Besides possibly everything.

Fuckin' Gabriel.]

MEN'S BATHROOM

[trustharder]

[The one on the first floor.]

[cherryblooded]

[What terrible sleep.

By the time Cherryblod manages to drag himself out of bed, he vaguely processes that there hasn't been a body announcement yet. So there's probably two people dead, or more. Wonderful.

He sees the commotion over in the library, but before he can be at all useful here he needs to wake up. So he goes to the bathroom intending to splash some water on his face.

Is there anything immediately off?]
