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?

Someone decided to take up the challenge...

Like. Are we sure that's blood? I don't know, maybe she's just like me and thinks it sucks how quiet it is when the door's closed.

[modernmedicine]

I don't think there's any doubt that it's blood. There wasn't any paint stored anywhere, and nothing in the laundry room would leave this color stains.

Ketchup. Maybe it's ketchup. Maybe there was a wild ketchup party and I fuckin' [noticeable pause and flinch] missed it.

[modernmedicine]

It doesn't smell sweet enough to be ketchup.

Even not considering the difficulties of acquiring paint here, that would be in unbelievably poor taste.

So if you were considering decorating, don't use red.

Yeah I mean I have to say that bright pink would be a better choice here but maybe someone didn't think it through.

[certaingiant]

If you want to hope that, I won't stop you.
