First.

[trustharder]

Friday dawns much like the rest of the week before it – that is to say, obnoxiously. The klaxons are as loud as ever first thing in the morning, and anyone wandering out into the main corridor will be pleased to know that- ...Oh. It's a straight shot down the hallway, meaning that everyone's line of sight is likely to be immediately drawn to the unholy mess going on past the threshold leading to the dorms. There's some hints that someone may have been busy out here last night – for one thing, there's a chair lying on the ground for god only knows what reason. That's obviously not supposed to be there. Come on, guys, clean up after yourselves. Of course, there's also a fucklot of blood. That's probably important. It seems concentrated on the far end of the hallway, closer to the elevator than the dorms. There's also a large trail of it leading somewhere. That's probably also important. Despite everyone's best efforts to keep themselves busy and optimistic about escape, looks like somebody got restless last night. >Explore?

FROM THE HALLWAY...

[Jesus Christ what even--

Not that Bruce isn't used to blood, but still.

Alright let's see. Following that blood trail now. Where does it lead him?]

[trustharder]

[About that.]

[wokeupdead]

[FOLLOWING WITH HIM. BECAUSE THIS IS BULLSHIT.]

[ Sorry, Misa's sticking with you guys, practically clutching at Lynne's coat. The sight of this huge mess, and the blood...

She's already shaking. She doesn't want it to mean what she thinks it means. ]

[wokeupdead]

[At least Misa is okay. Lynne will shoot her a reassuring smile.]

If anything looks dicey run back to your room right away, okay?

[happysweets]

O-okay...I'll head right in there and lock the door.

But you have to come back and knock when it's safe, okay?

[wokeupdead]

Will do. I promise. It's not in my nature to leave any stone unturned.

[happysweets]

I just hope it's just...an accident or something, but...

[ Something like this, she's seen it before. She knows what it is. It's a murder. ]

[wokeupdead]

Same here.

[Except, you know, there's all the blood.]

[amygdalae]

[Bruce nods in agreement with Lynne here.]

Take care of yourself first. We'll be able to handle ourselves as well.

[happysweets]

Got it...but, all of this is...

[ It's really extreme, isn't it? ]

[amygdalae]

[It's looking really bad. But that just means everyone's safety is more important.]

Don't worry about us. We'll come and get you when things settle down.

[ Aqua's here to rest a reassuring hand on Misa's shoulder. The blood... ugh. Aqua's shaken up, but she manages to stay composed--at least outwardly. ]

It's far from normal, but we'll manage. As long as you're alright, Misa.

[happysweets]

I'm glad that you're safe, too. I just can't believe it...everyone was having such a good time yesterday, and after all that, did someone really...

[ Christ. Caren was gonna rub it in her face so hard... ]

[prismbloom]

[ She hates it, too. Hates that she's... failed. ]

We'll get to the bottom of this. I promise.

[happysweets]

I hope so...
