Fourth.
| Friday morning starts as all mornings in the Vault do. The klaxons sound off at seven in the morning; some awaken easily, some don't, but the point remains that for better or worse, everyone has to leave the room they were sleeping in eventually. A few will be spared from the immediate knowledge that something is amiss – those whose rooms are tucked away in the corners of the dorms and don't have a clear view of the hallway may get a few seconds' peace of mind. However, as soon as the main hallway is visible it becomes obvious that something isn't right. It isn't like the first week, where the blood was contained to the far end of the building. This time, the blood starts in the dormitory hallway. It looks like it's starting near one of the dormitory rooms toward the middle of the floor. >Explore? |

But he doesn't want to make anyone else do it either.
Let's open that door.]

There's a person lying in a pool of blood on the floor, legs bent at loose but slightly awkward angles, hands drawn up in the universal position of one who tried to defend themselves, one of them curled into a loose fist. However, there's no motion forthcoming, no acknowledgement that anyone else is there, and the front of the body is covered in blood, clothing torn in several places.
Her purple hair is haloed loosely around her head, her face turned away and to the side; her eyes are open, her stare glossy and unfocused.
Megumi Sakura is dead.

Like, good thing he didn't bet against her. He woulda loooost.]

And well. As much as he wishes he can say he's surprised by this after what was found outside...the truth of the matter is that he can't.]
Miss Megumi...
[Bodies are startling no matter what, but this one hits Colress particularly hard. This is his next door neighbor whom he enjoyed speaking with. What makes it worse...is that it seems she died in this room, likely while he was just one wall away and completely unknowing of what was happening.
He feels sick.]
no subject
Damnit!
[She was right next door. She was right next door to both of them, and one of the two of them should have been able to do something, but they couldn't...
All he can really do is angrily hit the wall and say something that isn't exactly rated y7.]
Why do the walls have to be soundproof?!
no subject
[He turns to Tarrlok like he has something useful he can say in a situation like this, but he really doesn't. He was completely useless to Megumi when she needed help because of those soundproof walls. They both were.
Colress is still in a state of shock, so his response comes off more emotionless than usual.]
It is rather obvious why, isn't it? So we cannot interfere...
[That has to be it, right? Saving someone from getting murdered isn't what the Kingmaker wants. He's made that clear enough. It just makes things all the more awful for them.]
no subject
[...would he have been able to do anything, though? Here, he's... he could probably take a normal human, maybe, but... what if it was some monster like Kamui had been?]
...we'll find who did this and make sure they're dealt with.
no subject
It just feels so much more surreal now, this time.
He feels the anger rising, just like before, but he squashes it down and ensures that his voice is steady as he speaks.]
--we've got no time to waste.
[They need to solve this. One way or another.]
no subject
Fuck.
no subject
...and what do we see?]
no subject
Time to follow the others.]
