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?

[Upon closer inspection, is there anything noticeable with the chairs?]

[trustharder]

[They're not much different than the one found in the hallway. Beaten up, a little bloody, oh and there are some claw marks in the metal. But that's probably not important!!]

[prismbloom]

Speedwagon.

[ ...? ]

Claw marks, of all things?

[isafraid]

Mi-- Aqua.

[Welcome to the party.

He knelt down, running a few fingers over the metal.]

Looks that way, not like normal nails would do this to a chair. But... that's impossible...

[prismbloom]

[ She kneels down as well, examining the rest of the chair. ]

None of us have claws, do we?

[isafraid]

None that anyone's made obvious...! [He didn't notice anything of the sort... mmmgh...

The unease was worrying.]

[sleepingkogoro]

It doesn't have to been done with claws. It could have been done with a tool that could leave the same prints.

[Don't ask Mouri to name one, though]

[prismbloom]

A tool--one from the storage room or even the vending machine?

[sleepingkogoro]

I haven't seen anything in the storage room that could produce these marks. It is more likely it came from the vending machine.

[prismbloom]

If there were an easier way to take stock of what all has come from the vending machine...

[ But, obviously, the murderer won't be telling them if they did get such an item. ]

[isafraid]

Oi! Then what then?

[Well then you shouldn't have spoken up then, Mouri.]

Don't tell me you didn't happen to find anything like that around, did you?

[sleepingkogoro]

[Damn it, Speedwagon, it was just a suggestion! Calm down!]

All I have seen around are knives.

The culprit may have taken such tool with them when they made their escape.

[isafraid]

[He can't calm down! Speedwagon is in not-calm mode. It's been a long time coming.]

Then the murderer... might still have it with them.

[....]

Not good...
