Fourth.

[trustwellness]

It seems that each week is getting harder than the last. You've lost three of your number already this week, and that's before anyone seems to have tried to take the Wordsmith up on his offer – and from the look of it, the incentive has tempted quite a few of you, perhaps even more than the usual. But now, the week is coming to an end; maybe it's too much to hope for that it's passed without anyone killing one another. Maybe it isn't. Only time will tell. The chimes ring out, signaling the hour as they always do; the day seems reasonably normal, with the first three floors of the building seeming clear enough. However, those of you wishing to make absolutely sure may want to head a bit lower down. It's possible that you'll find nothing down there; the more jaded of you will probably suspect otherwise. Either way, there's no point in keeping the possibility open when you can confirm it for yourselves, is there? >Explore?

[...You can piss in relative peace and also the knowledge that there is nothing horrendously amiss in here, Guzma, good job.]

[oyashiromama]

[...]

Kimbley...

[She puts a hand on his shoulder. Almost shakes it, but...]

K-Kimbley. [Are his eyes closed, or are they open?]

[trustwellness]

[They're closed.]

[oyashiromama]

[...That's good, at least. Lifeless staring eyes... That's something no one would want to see.

After a moment, Hanyuu finds her voice, though it cracks, as she calls out:] I-I found someone! It- K-Kimbley is dead!

[iaspis]

[....Oh. Well.

This is a good time for Jasper to enter the infirmary. She just stares in shock for a long while.]

K-Kimbley.....

[oyashiromama]

[...Oh, no.]

I-I'm so...sorry, Jasper.

[acherontiastyx]

Oh, what the fuck!

[he rushes in, clearly not here for this.]

Couldn't they have waited?! Or not killed someone?!

[tsugomori]

[ He hears Hanyuu's shout as he's coming back up, and ... there it is. Well, it is an unfortunate sight nonetheless. But, what is there to say? It seems the pattern will begin anew. ]

[matchbreaker]

[ What.

Elda's super hearing okay not that super but pretty good picks that up from the pool's woman's locker room and she runs in the direction of that voice while still wearing her swimsuit ]

What?!

[matchbreaker]

[ did Guzma zip his fly up... ]

[quadruples]

[ Oh good, then he's staying here until they find a body. ]

TRUST HAS BEEN BROKEN.

[wordsmithery]

It seems the offer to rewrite history rather than continue this course at the university has been accepted, Apprentices. And again, it is one of you who has paid the price for that reason.

If you wish to attempt to have the guilty instead be held accountable for Incendiary's fate, then take this time to investigate and prepare to make yet more of your number take responsibility.

[And that, for now, is all.]

EVIDENCE LIST

TOTAL 32/32

INFIRMARY (9/9)
- Kimbley (probably) didn't deserve this
- Or this
- This one he probably deserved, though
- Burn baby burn
- You people will never clean up after yourselves, will you
- That's not supposed to be there
- This would be the worst slip and slide
- Water, water everywhere
- Seriously, who's going to mop all this up??

POOL (7/7)
- That's new
- Are you wearing shoes?
- That looks painful
- I guess we could call this case the "blood bath" case
- Where does this go?
- Lusamine spared herself
- To the infirmary!

CHEM LAB (7/7)
- Why don't you people clean up after yourselves
- That's not worrying at all
- Also probably not a concern
- Okay, this one is a concern
- Chemistry is super boring
- Seriously, clean up in here
- Another note!

KIMBLEY'S ROOM (9/9)
- It works better if you actually close the door
- Kimbley had some problems
- One of them was science, apparently
- Another was claustrophobia
- And his memories
- And Kira too, probably
- What are these doing here?
- This is kind of important
- What happened to poor Chiyuki this time?

[acherontiastyx]

[YES, GRANDMOM]

[elepe]

[...Lusamine walks out of the pool room to the hallway, lamenting her morning already--but she rushes over when she hears Hanyuu call out.]

What? Who could have done this?

[introspects]

[ Oh, thank goodness Hanyuu's alright, but Kimbley-- ]

Oh, no...

[ She can't say she's surprised, but it doesn't make this any less horrific. ]

[neverheardofhim]

[Dojo clear, Varric begins to make his way around the fourth floor. There seems to be a commotion at the infirmary, so he steps in, heart in his throat. He isn't sure what he expects to find -- pink hair? A tall noodle body? But no, there's nothing like that there, which almost makes him worry.]

[And then he spots Kimbley.]

[To say he was relieved at the sight of the man he thought a monster would not be entirely inaccurate. Nevertheless, he turned from the room in a hurry, aiming for... anywhere but here.]

[ good, good ]

KIMBLEY'S ROOM

[trustwellness]

[tsugomori]

[ Well, someone had fallen victim to the motive, and it was a shame, no matter who had expired. Mikazuki will be heading closer to look upon Kimbley's dead body. Now, what kind of obvious wounds or other important details will he be able to detect just by a cursory glance? ]

[iaspis]

[It's right next to hers, so she's headed on over.

It's not like she'd be any help looking over his body.

So how much of a mess is his room right now?]
