First.

[trustwellness]

The past five days have come and gone, though exactly how easily they've done so is debatable; some have been trying to press onward in their optimism and faith that things will get better, while some seem convinced that things will only go downhill from here. However people have chosen to see it, though, clearly this week hasn't been all bad – after all, attempts at encouraging unity among the group seem to have been at least reasonably successful. ...Seem to have been. Friday dawns like the rest of the week before it – the clock chimes the hour at seven, the doors to the kitchen and the mail room unlock, and the building is quiet. It would seem that maybe the night passed reasonably quietly – were it not for the large red smears on the walls and floor of the southeastern side of the dormitory. It looks like somebody decided to be a damn overachiever and took some initiative of their own. >Explore?

[ Oh, well that's good, wouldn't want to overwhelm her senses.

Are all of the basins still there, or is there any sign things have been moved around in a hurry?

(huh the rest of the people seem to be congregating at the sink) ]

[stepout]

[ ...Yeah, you know what, let's check that out. What's on the trunk? ]

[neverheardofhim]

I know.

[The hand on her elbow loosened, just enough for him to rub a circle or ten against her arm. He thought about telling her the stories they exchanged, but figured it would only make things worse. That she had an unresolved story back home certainly hadn't rubbed him the right way.]

We'll find out who did this and we'll make sure they pay, alright?

[elepe]

[Alright, once...all of that is taken care of, there's no time to waste. They're finding who did this to Adelina, and that is that.

Lusamine sees that the others have the 'blood' taken care of, so she's going to continue down the hallway--is there anything to note while going down?]

[uncouthhatcher]

[Oh, good, someone's already got breakfast out! Gold's gonna grab a spoon and reach for the bowl--]

[introspects]

I...suppose not, Judy-chan...

[ She is definitely using -chan with you because you are a cute fuzzy bunny

anyway, murder ]

[trustwellness]

[One second, Mercy, you're not done with her face.

...That sounded better in my head.

But there's something notable about the blood on her face as well - namely, it looks like it was dripped down onto her as opposed to anything that came from a cut on Adelina herself.

As for turning her over, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the body herself - you want to check her clothes, maybe?]

[feistytrader]

[And Silver's slapping that right out of his hands.]

There's plenty of food in the fridge.

[trustwellness]

[The other footprint is really only half a footprint and smudged, so it's difficult to get an idea of exactly what shoe it came from. With that said, it isn't the same as the boots and it looks a bit smaller.]

[trustwellness]

[A room key.

Just kind of hanging out there, near a corpse, as you do.]

[trustwellness]

[Actually, there is! While Nick's looking around, he might spy something shiny on the floor.]

[introspects]

[ That's a perfectly reasonable assumption! ]

...She was so young... If I just--if I just had my powers, she would be okay--

[tsugomori]

[ Well! He's not sure what else to do so he'll come over here. ]

They sure were in quite a hurry. What a mess...

[uncouthhatcher]

[WHAT THE FUCK]

Yeah, I'm sure, but there's somethin' right here!

[... He'll go to the fridge to get food in a bit but tell him why he cannot eat what this is right now.]

[plentyfriendly]

[Any marks on the floor? Whatever those giant red smears are it was a huge mess that's probably going to be a pain to clean.]

[modernmedicine]

[WAIT HOLD ON I'm dumb and somehow didn't realize she was on her back already.

In that case, flipping back, making notes of the blood on her face, starting to check her clothes.]

[trustwellness]

[There is, yes! Along the wall you might notice a strange mark. It looks like a gash instead of graffiti or something.]

[certaingiant]

[Well, that's interesting.

Just so I can get a better mental picture, by "a good amount", do we mean 'most of the door has this red stuff on it' or 'yeah I guess something bigger than a breadbox that had red stuff on it hit it'? Since, there are a lot of somethings that could potentially slam into a door.

Especially during a murder. People kill other people in weird ways.]

[trustwellness]

[That's correct! The stains are the same as the ones found in the hallway.]

[officerwilde]

[Huh.... that definitely is something shiny on the floor.

Don't mind if he just picks it up to inspect it, then!]

[introspects]

[ Huh...that's unusual. Two different sets of footprints. Though Orihime can take a guess at where that smaller one came from.

Around what shoe size would the size of the boot footprints be? ]

[trustwellness]

[All of the basins are still there, yes! It doesn't look like they've been used either.]

[firstaid]

[There's a bit of reluctance at first to follow, but she knows it's for the best to get out of everyone's way to investigate this. She needs to calm down... and accept that no matter how awful this is, that this happened.]

[trustwellness]

[It's definitely not strawberry jam. But you're not too far off with the ketchup idea - it looks like someone was crushing tomatoes in this bowl.]

[avoidcomplications]

[HE'S NOT DOING IT YET.]

That's peculiar. [Then again, there was blood(???) everywhere. If that wasn't what killed her, then maybe...]

[Is the uniform relatively clean?]
