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?

HALLWAY

[trustharder]

[cherryblooded]

[After he's said his goodbyes, Cherryblod leaves the dining hall, but - he definitely doesn't want to leave the entire investigation up to three people.

So, about this trail of blood. What's it look like? Like somebody was dragged along, or like somebody was running away while bleeding, or...?]

[trustharder]

[It's a bit hard to tell, but it definitely doesn't look like anyone was dragged. It's probably closer to the latter.]

[cherryblooded]

[Okay. That's something to note.

Is the blood dry, or still fresh? He may not be able to establish exact timing but he would be able to tell if it was in the last hour or so.]

[trustharder]

[It's definitely not dry, but don't go sticking your hand in it, that's gross.]

[cherryblooded]

[They have sinks. He's done worse things than stick a finger in someone's blood.]

Recent.

[Anything else immediately notable about the blood trail, or should he just join the congregation around the chair over there?]

[trustharder]

[GROSS, SHRIMPDAD

It seems like everything's been checked out here, good work!!]

[happysweets]

[ So this whole thing is a goddamn mess and Misa wants absolutely none of it so she'll be heading right back to her room, but, aside from the huge trail of blood, is there anything of note that she'd catch along the way? ]

[trustharder]

[There is that chair in the hallway...]

[happysweets]

[ ...Maybe just a peek at it wouldn't hurt, right? ]

[trustharder]

[Don't worry, it (probably) won't bite you!

The chair is one of the metal ones from the dining room. It looks sort of banged up...]

[happysweets]

[ This couldn't be...the murder weapon, could it? ]

[trustharder]

[That's a good question, isn't it? You might want to examine it a little closer.]

[happysweets]

[ Don't mind if she does...if it was the murder weapon, there'd be a lot of blood on it, so, that's what she's on the lookout for. ]

[trustharder]

[There definitely is some blood on it, but probably not as much as you'd expect from a murder weapon.

More importantly, there are claw marks in the metal.]

[garudynamic]

...maybe... that's what he got hit with?

[His voice is shaky, but Zagi deserves him to do his best and save his getting sick until later]

[happysweets]

If it is, that's just brutal...but what's it doing in here, then?

[pokexplorer]

[Exploring the hallway as well, Colress notices Misa investigating the chair. Ah, that's right, he remembers seeing it on the way to the dining hall.]

Hello, Miss Misa. I hope you don't mind my joining you. Is there anything strange about the chair?

[happysweets]

O-oh, Mister Colress, um...

[ God, she wishes the circumstances were better, but... ]

It's...very dented. Like it hit something hard...

[pokexplorer]

[Movin' on over to the main thread!]

[pokexplorer]

[Figuring that the detectives and doctor can handle a human body better than he could, Colress follows the order to head on out.

Maybe he can find something useful in the hallway though? He at least wants to see if he can figure out how all this went down.]

[trustharder]

[Misa's got a chair to look at. Maybe you want to check that out too?]

[garudynamic]

[Yosuke isn't exactly investigating yet, but he is here. Hands pressed against the wall, head down and breathing deeply to get himself under control.

Once he manages that he will join in looking around]

[trustharder]

[There's a chair in the hallway, but otherwise there's just the blood trail.]
