Second.

A week's distance from the last death seems to have helped some of you, seems to have calmed things down somewhat; the presence of a new floor has helped a little in that endeavor as well – things are a little less claustrophobic, a little more open. Of course, for others things haven't been going as smoothly; between the odd dreams that you've all been experiencing and the Wordsmith's incentive, the added space may just be encouraging distance between you and your fellow Apprentices. It seems that only time will tell how things will progress from here. Friday morning comes, and with it comes the brightening of the lights throughout the University – though it seems there's something a bit wrong with the second floor in that regard. Namely, the workshop remains dark. That's probably going to be a problem. >Explore?

[To get to the sewing room, you have to pass the workshop, so naturally Hanyuu notices something's amiss.

Cautiously, she approaches and calls out.]

Hello? Is anyone in there?

[trustwellness]

[No answer.]

[oyashiromama]

[...she's had such a good time dwelling on her memories too- alright, fine, once we've got some light (thank you Silver) she'll enter the workshop.]

[trustwellness]

[Do you have shoes on, Hanyuu?]

[oyashiromama]

[Yeah...]

[trustwellness]

[Good, because a short ways into the room she'll feel the brittle snap and hear that distinct crushing noise that comes with stepping on small shards of broken glass.]

[feistytrader]

[That's, uh... pretty damn dark, isn't it.]

I'll go grab some candles.

[He doesn't have nearly enough vision for this, man.]

[oyashiromama]

Be safe.

[High-alert mode is go.]

[neverheardofhim]

[So much for pestering her about sewing some more.]

Flaw in the Wordsmith's plan, you think?

[ravagers]

[ hi dad she's following you ]

How d'you figure that?

[neverheardofhim]

[Is he tentatively reaching a hand back to hold one of hers? Maybe. Hanyuu's talking about being safe after all.]

He can't make his own lights stay on. Pretty faulty, if you ask me. [Because he knows so much about wiring.]

[iaspis]

That.... doesn't look good. What happened to the lights?

[neverheardofhim]

[Oh good, Muscles is worried.....]

I'm sure it's nothing.

[elepe]

[...Well, there goes that trip to the Chemistry Lab today.]

It's not supposed to be this dark in there, I imagine...

[Are we going to need to find Jesus]

[modernmedicine]

I don't like the looks of that room.

[neverheardofhim]

[Yeah, about that...]

[Here comes a dwarf with a pretty dark look in his eyes.]

We need you.

[modernmedicine]

I'm on the way.

[She was afraid of that.]

[quadruples]

[ That... does not look good. Viktor decides to stay outside the workship, however. If somebody's dead he doesn't want to look at the body. ]

[introspects]

[ Orihime's outside with him. She's...she's really afraid to go inside. She will, but... ]

Oh...thank goodness you're alright, Nikiforov-san...

[quadruples]

[ He places a hand on her shoulder, squeezing it slightly. ]

I'm glad to see that you're okay, Orihime.

[introspects]

[ She has her chocobo plush with her and holds on to it tightly. ]

I...I don't want to believe someone's......gone, again....

[officerwilde]

[Well there seems to be a lot of commotion coming from the workshop today.. don't mind if this fox just kind of hovers back with the others and watches for now.

Whatever it is, it can't be good.]

[introspects]

[ Orihime is just as hesitant as he is, biting her lip dreadfully. ]

Do you...do you think someone's...?

[officerwilde]

I'm not going to say I don't think someone's been turned into roadkill in there...

[It's hard to be positive in this kind of situation, though.]

But, uh... yeah. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what happened.

[introspects]

I--

[ No...Nick is right. There is no good way to go about this rather than to prepare for the worst. ]

I'm glad you're alright, Nick-kun. I...can't believe Wordsmith-san would...use a motive like that...
