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.]

[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.]

[plentyfriendly]

[She'll deal with that later. First, it's off to the kitchen for... well, let's be honest. Something light again.]

[neverheardofhim]

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

Flaw in the Wordsmith's plan, you think?

[sportadork]

[this seems like a better plan. less murder, more snacks.]

[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.]

[iaspis]

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

[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]

[ravagers]

[ hi dad she's following you ]

How d'you figure that?

[oyashiromama]

Be safe.

[High-alert mode is go.]

[trustwellness]

[There are a couple of things that are in disarray in here; if she's going to stay here, we'll catch you on the investigation top-levels proper!]

[trustwellness]

[Do you have shoes on, Hanyuu?]

[modernmedicine]

I don't like the looks of that room.

[plentyfriendly]

[Given that she's going to want to on account of having noticed, let's.]

[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.]

[plentyfriendly]

[She'd rather not think on an empty stomach.]

[oyashiromama]

[Yeah...]

[neverheardofhim]

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

I'm sure it's nothing.

[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.]

[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. ]

[feistytrader]

[Silver is back with candles, and it is a good damn thing that Weavile's hitching a ride right now. Yikes.

He passes a candle over to Hanyuu, then holds his own out to see if he can make out anything else.]

Here.

[oyashiromama]

Thank you. [She calls back to the others:] Be careful approaching. There's broken glass. [we have a few people who don't wear shoes here after all-

With that she'll cautiously start to look around with that candle. If she walks to the center of the room with it, can she see anything?]

[neverheardofhim]

[That's... concerning. Plus, he's not the type of man to let a woman and kid go plunging in alone. Hanyuu certainly could handle herself but... back-up is good.]

[He'll stick close to Hanyuu's light, prepared for anything.]

Right behind you, Feather.

[trustwellness]

[The candlelight will pick up quite a few pieces of broken glass scattered around on the floor as she moves; hopefully everyone took the warning seriously, because there's a lot of it around.

However, there's something else in the middle of the room that she'll thankfully see before she trips over it.

A very definitely person-sized something.]
