Third.

[trustwellness]

This week has been difficult; between the death of Milla Maxwell and the fact that this motive seems to have hit several people far harder than the last, there's been an unmistakable tension in the air for the past several days. The week is coming to a close; it's been seven days since the last murder. If no one's moved as of this morning, time is becoming incredibly short before everyone's secrets are revealed. Either way, the morning dawns undeterred on Friday; the chimes ring out, signaling the hour, and the first and second floors seem clear. For some of you, that may be enough to ensure that you start your day normally; some of you, however, may wish to be a bit more thorough and check the third floor down, just to make sure everything really is all right. Maybe it is. Maybe it isn't. You won't know until you look. >Explore?

[Well, she's here. Might as well start looking around.

Is there anything noticeably off?]

[tsugomori]

[ Alright then, that... certainly happened. Mikazuki will make his way into the bar, and begin to take a look around. Anything that is immediately obvious on sight? ]

[neverheardofhim]

[Well... Shit.]

[It wasn't necessarily unexpected, considering the week they'd been having. But after the relatively peaceful start, he'd had his hopes up.]

[With everyone occupying the billiards room, he figures he'll only be in the way. But hey, Jasper's in the bar and at this point, fuck drinking rules. He'll make a bee-line straight for the collection of booze.]

[Anything jumping out at him?]

[trustwellness]

[You'll notice that someone's been through here recently - things look a little out of sorts. Drawers and cabinets are left open and the items inside have been picked through and moved around a bit, like someone was looking for something.]

[quadruples]

[ When Viktor hears the body discovery announcement, he almost wants to cry - he liked Chiyuki a lot, she did not do anything to deserve this. He considers going back to his room and stay there until the trial, but he decides that he can't just sit around and do nothing.

So he decides to check the infirmary like he did last week. Anything immediately out of the ordinary here? ]

[feistytrader]

...I'll check out the rest of the room.

[It's said calmly- a lot more calmly than anything he's said while looking at a body before- but there's definitely a hint of anger in his voice, and he's clenching his fists.

The first couple times he saw a body, it was horrifying, sure. This time? This time he's pissed.]

[introspects]

[ Poor, poor Chiyuki. Orihime really liked her. While it's a little surprising to see that she's not human, thinking back to the scary story she'd told, she's going to let Mercy and the Pokemon boys handle the billiards room, if they so wish.

Anything strange about the tables? ]

[trustwellness]

[It looks like someone left something out on one of the tables.]

[officerwilde]

[Of course someone died again... why wouldn't they? Nick doesn't want to go to the scene of the death, so instead he decides to go to the bar... maybe for a drink, maybe to investigate. Maybe both.

Either way, anything a fox would be able to immediately see out of place?]

[trustwellness]

[How well do you know your alcohol, Mikazuki? It looks like there's something going on with the bottles.]

[avoidcomplications]

[Well, we're already in here, so average guy may as well take a look around. Is there anything notably out of order on more than a cursory glance of the room?]

[uncouthhatcher]

There doesn't seem to be a real body there for you to take care of, doctor, [but the anger's not at her, even if it's there and scalding,] but go right on ahead. I know it's your damn job.

[He's gonna just lay on a table for a bit and grab one of the cuesticks, ready to fucking hunt down someone and...

... go outside, actually, so he can call out to anyone in the area:]

Body's in the pool room, don't go in if you've got a fear of dolls!

[It's so much easier to distance yourself when you're hurting and angry, he can deal with the first later.]

[trustwellness]

[It looks like someone has been through these recently, since some of them have been moved around. Specifically you're looking at blue curaçao, gin, and white sweet vermouth that have been misplaced.]

[officerhops]

[Judy notices that immediately, so the first thing she does is trot over to where the drawers and cabinets are open, though she doesn't reach in or try to bother anything. Let's check the drawers first since they're a bit closer to her level.

She's been to every room here, and while she doesn't have a perfect memory, she's also tried to take stock of where everything is in the event that something like this did happen again. Is there anything noticeably missing?]

[tsugomori]

[ Well, Mikazuki sure knows his sake pretty well enough (but beyond that not much). Regardless, what's going on with that? He'll take a closer look at them. ]

[feistytrader]

[So. There are parts of Chiyuki scattered across the room, it looks like there was some kind of fire related incident, and this room's a mess.

But he'll look somewhere else. What's going on with the pool tables?]

[trustwellness]

[Looks like Jasper's found something.]

[oyashiromama]

[Hanyuu isn't far behind. She...could only catch a glimpse, but--

Well, she is positive she doesn't want to leave Orihime alone, after... After seeing something like that.

(Chiyuki... Something cold burns under her skin.)]

[iaspis]

[Let's take a closer look, then.

What is it? And if it's something she wouldn't recognize, what sort of object is it?]

[trustwellness]

[Well, the counters (and the chemicals) are all a little disorganized, like someone was going through them and looking for something.]

[matchbreaker]

[ Elda for her part is furious.

... Honestly, so furious that while she is "technically" behind Orihime she's not really investigating. She's more like grinding a d20 between her fingers as if expecting she can turn it to dust.

She can't, of course, but. (though so do this she is thus sort of looking at things on the shelves ]

[officerwilde]

[Well everyone seems to be looking at this and that, so don't mind a fox coming over curiously to you, Jasper. Might as well while he's here.]

Find anything?

[neverheardofhim]

[The names aren't familiar, but he's been to the bar enough times to know that something's not right.

... Really he probably has a problem, if that's the case.]

[Anyway, he'll go ahead and pick up the gin and investigate that. Maybe motion to the others to help him out with the other two.]

[plentyfriendly]

[If someone was looking for something, then something is likely to be missing, no?]

[trustwellness]

[The tables themselves aren't odd at all, actually! But since you're looking around here anyway you guys might notice some things under the table...]
