First.

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?

LAUNDRY ROOM

[trustwellness]

[byday]

[This seems like a more secluded area to carry out investigations. Perhaps old habits needed to die hard, but Bruce couldn't blame himself for needing a degree of seclusion while doing these things.

Is there anything immediately obvious or out-of-place when he heads inside the laundry room?]

[trustwellness]

[It looks like there is - there's a school uniform tossed in the sink. It's one of the ones everyone received as their second outfit.]

[byday]

[Bruce heads over - this was sloppy. Given its location, is it wet? More importantly, what's the sizing on the uniform like? Does it look like it might have fit Adelina, or is it too big or small for her?]

[iaspis]

[Jasper wanders over eventually.]

...Someone must have tried to destroy evidence.

[Though now that she's said it, she's not so sure.]

[byday]

They did it poorly.

[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...

[trustwellness]

[It's not wet... at least, not with water. You'll find some red stains on it. While you're looking at it, you also might notice some stray hair, so be careful!

(We'll get back to size in a second, promise.)]

[byday]

[Interesting. Would Bruce be wrong in presuming the red stains match with the stains on the wall? He might not have any forensics equipment, but he'll take a look at the hair in a second.]

[trustwellness]

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

[byday]

[He's already forming a few ideas in his head. While we're waiting on the sizing, does that hair look like it could have come from Adelina, or is it of an unexpected color or length?]

[tsugomori]

[ Since there are a lot of people in the hallways... if he takes a look in here, is there something that will stand out? ]

[trustwellness]

[Looks like Bruce has found something.]

[tsugomori]

[ Right then. He'll probably leave Bruce to take care of that (planning on returning to him and co. in a bit), and then venture a little further in. Is there missing from the laundry's storage room? And if not, are all the chemicals (bleach, etc.) stored within at full capacity? ]

[trustwellness]

[Surprisingly, everything's actually there! It doesn't look like anything has been used last night (unless one of you guys did laundry, but that's not relevant to this case).]

[iaspis]

[All the blood and a body have unsettled Jasper greatly, so she decides to bee-line for a different area of the university entirely. With her luck, this room is probably also covered in blood.

Is there anything immediately noticeably off in here?]

[trustwellness]

[Bruce has found something strange.]

[matchbreaker]

[ Wow that sure is a crowd of people at the end of the hall.

Elda is going to the laundry room because she sure doesn't want to hang out with that crowd.

... What the hell was that PA ping? ]

[trustwellness]

[Probably a good place to be away from people. What will you do now that you're here?]

[matchbreaker]

[ Well there isn't a strong iron scent apparently despite all the red at the end of the hall, but Elda has a strong sense of smell. Does anything smell like chemicals or the like in here? ]

[trustwellness]

[Aside from the chemicals being kept in the storage room, nope!]

[matchbreaker]

[ 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) ]

[trustwellness]

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

[matchbreaker]

[ Huh.

What about those hanging racks, they're all good too? ]
