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.

[Colress is still a little shaken up, but he wants to help with the investigation for sure.

While the others investigate the body, is there anything else off about Megumi's room itself?]

[Actually? No.

Given the fact that somebody is dead right there, you'd think that things would be a lot more disturbed in here; strangely enough, though, with the corpse in the state that it's in, there's nothing completely off about the room - none of Megumi's things have been disturbed, and outside of the position the body is in, there are no signs that there was some sort of struggle.

Interesting.]

[Well that's odd. The fact that there's nothing off with the room is...still off, but in a different way!

Keeping that in mind as he looks around, Colress considers the splashes of blood in the hallway and near the door. Is there any blood in the room leading to Megumi's body? And exactly how far is the body into the room?]

[The body isn't very far into the room - she's definitely in the room, but she's more toward the center and favoring the entrance as opposed to near the walls or the bed.

There's some blood near the body and leading out toward the hallway, but given the pool of blood on the floor it doesn't look like she was dragged anywhere.]
