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.

[...Well, damn.

Is there anything weird looking about said crushed tomatoes, or should he move onto the can? To facilitate actually being able to see if there's something weird in the crushed tomatoes, he's sticking his face right in the damn bowl, on account of not being able to god damn see.]

[Nope, nothing else to note about the bowl! Except that someone left it out. Rude.

Moving onto the can, it's one of the typical cans that can be found here, but there's no label on it or anything.]

[As someone who's spent an absurd amount of time in the kitchen, would he be able to narrow down what it might be? Is there anything leftover in the can? ...Does the can smell like anything.

I'm so sorry-]

[It smells suspiciously like... tomatoes. GEE I WONDER WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN IN HERE.]

[...Who the fuck eats tomatoes out of a can?

Well, now that we've safely established that there are a hell of a lot of tomatoes in here, Silver's looking around for some other out of place food products on the counter or stove. Surely no one would straight up eat a bowl of raw canned tomatoes, right?]

[I'm sorry I missed this somehow??

Nope, there doesn't seem to be any other out of place food products! There is still something else in the kitchen area, though!]

[...Is there something on the ceiling? Is there a cryptic message in tomato sauce.]

[Yes, of course there is. You did it - written on the ceiling is—

NO I'M JUST KIDDING.

Where do you want to look next?]

[MAYBE NOT NOW, BUT THERE WILL BE SOMETHING ON THE CEILING. SOMEDAY.

What about the logical opposite of the ceiling? How about the floor?]

[ANOTHER MESSAGE IN KETCHUP—

Nope, nothing on the floor either!]

[...How about in the blender]

[Nope, nothing off about the blender! Thank god no one blended the tomatoes.]

[...Well damn, uh. How about that nifty thing with all the knives or the drawer with all the utensils.]

[Ding ding ding!! The utensils seem to all be in place but the knife block is missing a knife. That might be important.]

[...THE KNIFE BLOCK, THANK YOU, IT'S CALLED A KNIFE BLOCK.]

Someone has a knife.

[YOU'RE WELCOME]

[That is indeed smaller than most things and also I forgot about them.]

What kind?

[There are a lot of knife types, okay.]

One of the fancy ones.

[He pulls out the knife block and shows it to her, because as a kid that lives in the woods, he's probably not the best versed in fine cutlery.]

Oh, really, someone has a knife and there's a dead body hangin' around. Wonder what could've happened. Hopefully the killer doesn't have it on 'em still.

[... boy, waffles are great.]

...Who died, anyway? I don't remember which one Securing is.

[And hahahahah he is not going anywhere near a body today.]

[That gives her an idea. There's a trash can in this kitchen, right? What's in there?]

Edited (unclosed tag) 2017-01-27 18:05 (UTC)

[Nothing, surprisingly. Nice try, though! Always remember to check the trash cans!!]

The label's got to be somewhere...

[Having an entire cabinet full of unlabeled cans would be really inconvenient. Wasteful, too, but mostly inconvenient. She'll just. Rifle through the rest of the cabinets half to make sure anything else canned is still labeled and half to see if anything looks just plain odd.]

Edited (that is NOT the icon I intended to use, oops) 2017-01-27 18:17 (UTC)

[I'LL JUST SAVE EVERYONE THE TROUBLE OF LOOKING FOR IT RIGHT NOW and mention that it is not here. Where is it?? Who knows. But that is not evidence for this investigation! Sorry about that.]

[It was worth a shot.]
