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?

WORKSHOP

[trustwellness]

[modernmedicine]

[Time to investigate another body. Let's start from the top: major injuries she would see right off the bat?]

[trustwellness]

[Well, hopefully people left some of those candles around, because from the looks of it, this is going to be done in the dark, and that's not going to be easy due to all the broken glass lying around.

It looks like there's a head wound that's immediately visible on him, though.]

[modernmedicine]

[Not completely in the dark, at least.

Just to make it easier, she's going to try and clear a little space so she can examine the body. When she does, she's going to take a closer look at that head wound.]

[trustwellness]

[Well, his head looks like it lolled to the side a little, given that he's not really capable of holding it still - his hair has been disturbed in an area toward the back of his head, and it looks like someone hit him with a good deal of force - there's definitely swelling over the area where he was hit.

...Also his horns are just straight-up not on his head anymore? That's. That happened.]

[modernmedicine]

[Hard enough to be the cause of death?

Also,

UH. WHAT. Let's take a closer look - are his horns near the body at all?]

[trustwellness]

[Actually, no - it looks like he definitely wouldn't have been happy and quite possibly would have been knocked unconscious, but it doesn't look like the strike was hard enough to kill. There's no broken skin, and no evidence of hardcore internal bleeding around that particular area.

As for the horns, um. Poor Hanyuu? She seems to have found them, they're just in a place that is definitely not on his head for whatever reason.]

[introspects]

Ziegler-San, when you're done... I have some bandages i grabbed from here yesterday, if you want to...cover his wounds...

[modernmedicine]

Thank you, Orihime. I'll take care of doing that - it's the least we can do for him.

[introspects]

Yes... I...wouldn't want to leave him bleeding out like that...

[ It's just...sad.

Orihime reaches into her shirt (??) and pulls out a bandage, which she'd gotten from the infirmary on Thursday. ]

Here.

[feistytrader]

...I'll get more candles.

[He'll get a bunch, in fact, and leave them and a box of matches by the door for anyone who wants to investigate. Once he's finished, he starts to look around the room with his candle; he's focusing on checking out the benches on the walls instead of the floor.

Is there anything amiss here?]

[trustwellness]

[Actually, yes - it looks like a bunch of things have been knocked off the tables.]

[feistytrader]

[...Does it look more like someone was pulling stuff out to try to get something, or like the tables were collateral damage in some kind of fight?]

[trustwellness]

[It looks more consistent with a struggle of some sort.

Interestingly enough, though, the tables don't seem to have been moved, and furthermore all of the tools are in place.]

[feistytrader]

[That's... Kind of weird. He can't imagine that someone would bother to tidy this all up- if they even could, after breaking the lights.

...

The lights. Silver's looking up and raising his candle the best he can- is all the glass from broken lights?]

[modernmedicine]

Thank you.

[feistytrader]

Yeah. Thanks for getting the hard part.

[How the hell do you look at bodies for that long, god damn]

[modernmedicine]

I'm glad to do it.

[Primarily so no one else has to. She's had the medical training and personal experience to handle it.]

[oyashiromama]

[She's got a candle and the room's fucking dark and Angela has Christo's body. So. Hanyuu's going to look around, once she gets her emotions in order. For the source of the broken glass, right now.]

[trustwellness]

[Well, it doesn't seem to have been caused by anything on the tables or workbenches nearby - it's a woodworking studio, not glassworking.

Where else are you going to look?]

[oyashiromama]

[Naturally it wouldn't be so easy. How about the floor? Particularly around the body, since Silver's got the benches.

[trustwellness]

[Searching the floor around the body won't yield you the source of glass either, but, uh. Apparently Christo's missing something kind of important.

You can his horns, in other words.]

[oyashiromama]

[I would like to thank god and also jesus for this tag-

Hanyuu on the other hand-] Wh- what on-- how- [...yeah she's kind of not taking this well!!]

[officerwilde]

[Well he can't actually walk in there, because glass and bare paws do not mix well. But, he does walk over to the entrance and watches them investigate for a little bit, before calling in:]

If you find a police badge on his body, it's mine!

[He... may have lost it to him.. in a bet last week... about how soon it was going to take someone to die....


Seems kind of ironic now that you think about it.......]
