Sixth.

[trustwellness]

While the week may not have been everything that was hoped for, it hasn't been met with much tragedy, either; things have been solved, things have been found, and once again, the week has passed without interference from the executioner. Overall, it hasn't been too bad; however, that doesn't mean that things haven't been strained in some way or another – the incentive and all of the deaths you've been dealing with over the past several weeks are surely taking a toll of some sort on the group. The chimes ring out on Friday morning, as they always do; the morning is quiet, but that doesn't mean that things have been uneventful. The third floor is probably enough indication of that, actually. Don't worry, it's not like there's blood thrown around or bodies in the hallways; just the same, that doesn't mean the night passed easily for all of you. You know. In case you were feeling hopeful. >Explore?

[...Here's a question, now that so many of you are congregated in here.

Are you all staying here?]

[matchbreaker]

[ . . . IS SOMETHING ON THE FUCKING CEILING?

Also yes she's staying here until something else happens to prompt otherwise ]

[trustwellness]

[Don't worry, the ceiling is fine.]

[matchbreaker]

[ Phew, a spider would have made this weird.

Or a kidney.

A kidney on the ceiling ]

[...after last week, it may be best to take no chances. Looking to everyone in here other than Jasper--who she assumes will be occupied with the body.]

We should...probably sweep the building. We don't know if this is going to end like last week.

[...in any case, she needs to get out of here--she's gonna check the Dojo. How are we looking here?]

[trustwellness]

[The dojo is fine! As is the fourth floor, actually.]

[iaspis]

[Nope, Jasper's going to storm out because she can't really handle this.

She's going to head for the art room, and assuming that's not a den of murder too stay there until the trial.]

[trustwellness]

[The art room is thankfully not a den of murder! The fifth floor is actually fine.]

[feistytrader]

[...Well, after comforting Hanyuu, he's gonna head down to the greenhouse.]

[trustwellness]

[The greenhouse is clear.]

[feistytrader]

[...What about the new library?]

[trustwellness]

[Likewise clear.]

[feistytrader]

[...Then the only thing left on this floor (besides the bathroom) is the chapel, right?

Did someone get sacrilegious as fuck in the chapel?]

[trustwellness]

[Did they ever.

It looks like there's a person lying on that raised area at the front of the room, along with a good amount of blood spilled on the ground around them, emanating from the area around the person's neck.]

[feistytrader]

[...The temptation to leave the room is high, but he quickly shakes his head and quickly steps forward to get a better look at this person's face... If it's not like, drenched in blood.

THANKFULLY HE HAS SHOES, HE WILL NOT BE STEPPING IN BLOOD WITH HIS BARE FEET LIKE SOME KIND OF BARBARIAN.]

[trustwellness]

[The person's face is turned away, and upon closer inspection it seems that their head is tilted at a really unnatural angle.

Like, an exceedingly unnatural angle.

A "definitely not attached to their neck anymore" unnatural angle.

That would probably explain all the blood.

However, even if you don't want to get much closer after that particular realization, there's really only one person that could be lying there - the body is reasonably small in stature, and since Kyrie's death, there's only one other person here with that particular haircut, in that particular color.

It isn't nice, and it isn't pretty. But...

Phi is dead.]

[feistytrader]

[...Well this is fine and dandy and her head is not attached to her neck, this is absolutely not fine, but he's mentally checked out for the moment.]

Phi. It's... It's Phi.

[His words are really mechanical, all things considered.]

[elepe]

[After making sure floor 4 is clear, Lusamine goes down to check the sixth--murders do have a nasty habit of happening on new floors, and she never really...got...the chance to check out the Chapel...

...oh Tapus that is unholy. Um. Lusamine walks over to Silver, intending to take one of his arms and get him out of here...]

...Leave this to the ones who can handle it. Let's...go elsewhere, okay?

[feistytrader]

[He lets himself get dragged a little bit away before the situation starts to catch up with him and he abruptly stops and pulls his hand back.]

No. I- no, no. I'm going to help.

[If he goes away, that means more people have to come look at this, or that it could happen to someone else, or-]

I'll be fine.

[He's shaking a little, but some determined resolution is starting to show up on his face.]

[elepe]

[Lusamine's...honestly a little bit surprised, but she doesn't go to reach further for him.]

...If you're certain. Will you need any help with this, then?

[She doesn't want to leave him by himself with this, even if she's...really uncomfortable in the room with someone so cruelly murdered.]

[feistytrader]

[He stops to think about it for a moment, then glances over at Mikazuki.]

You've done this before, right? I want to help.

[There's no point in dragging Lusamine into this.]

[tsugomori]

That I have. You don't have to look at the body or anything, but...having a second pair of eyes in general could help.

[tsugomori]

Oh, ah...

[ Okay, well... this is quite the sight. Another unfortunate one, as it may. He doesn't have any words for a moment, but -- Lusamine has Silver covered, so... ]

[tsugomori]

[ How about the chapel? If he heads down there... ]

[trustwellness]

[Well, uh.]
