Seventh.

[trustharder]

The klaxons blare out bright and early Friday morning – granted, given the lack of windows in this place, it probably just feels early. Once again, things are quiet on the lower floors – the first-floor hallway isn't covered in blood, there aren't any bodies lying around, and things seem fairly normal to those just leaving their dorms. Of course, that doesn't mean that nothing is wrong; seven weeks in this place have probably taught everyone at least that much. Overall, though, things seem pretty sane until you get to the higher floors – where there are traces of blood on the fifth, in the general direction of the locker room between the saunas. >Explore?

[That is weird! He'll open up that water tank straightaway.]

[trustharder]

[Not immediately, no. Where do you want to look first?]

[notjustawriter]

[If the shrine isn't damaged at all, he's going to start looking around the pews.]

[trustharder]

[It looks like there are a few things on the floor, actually, among all the chemical...crap that Speedwagon is trying to pick up with all the common sense a man from the 1800s is going to possess. Dear lord.

Other than that, though, there are notably pieces of glass that have been shattered, lying scattered on the floor.]

I tried to play a few things and watched Bruce go at the pinball machine, but other than that... Nope. He was pretty good at it, by the way. Something to do with angles.

[... Mettaton liked it in here though, and so did Misa, so that makes this place sad to her.]

[amygdalae]

[IT'S OKAY BRUCE IS COMPLETELY USED TO IT even if he will be the first to admit how gross it is. It is very gross and he's sorry everyone else needs to see this. At least he's the only one who has to deal with it.

After waving off some more smoke, Bruce does notice the shrapnel wounds... and why does he not have gloves. He needs gloves for this shit.

A moment's worth of internal debating later, Bruce is taking out more bandages to just... use them instead to protect his fingers as he reaches out and... sees if there's any actual shrapnel that he can retrieve from this mess.]

[Pads over]

...did you clog it? I think we have a plunger downstairs...

[cherryblooded]

Shouldn't have, since I haven't used it.

What are the odds someone just dropped a piece of evidence in the water tank? It's not somewhere you'd look.

[trustharder]

[There are pieces of something in there! Whoa, so nifty!!

The pieces seem to belong to the same thing and it seems to be an electronic.]

[penduli]

[ ...well, body announcements are never any good. Black's just going to take a routine check of the first floor in general (hello incinerator room it looks like you're clear today, thank goodness) and...

anything immediately off here? ]

[cherryblooded]

Thought so.

[...Whatever electronic it is, it's not doing anything electrical anymore, so he's just going to carefully scoop those out.]

[trustharder]

[A different one! It smells like vinegar.

The bootleg plushes are just fine! The machines are also fine, but it looks like a scuffled happened in here at some point.]

[isafraid]

[.....you know what, that is probably not a good idea, seeing as how the cracking stuff is currently around Shriazu's exploded corpse. And Speedwagon doesn't quite feel like being sent to the infirmary right now.

Still, we can... try to get a good look at it. Really memorize it. From a safe distance.]

[trustharder]

[The shrine is perfectly fine! The pews are also fine... except for that thing sticking out from the underside of one of them.]

[pokexplorer]

[Well this seems like a lovely combination...Colress sets them aside in case they're needed during the trial.

If there isn't anything else strange on the wall, he's going to turn his attention to the tables. Is there any evidence of someone working in here? Any beakers, tools, etc. out of place?]

[trustharder]

[There is some! It's glass shards, actually.]

[trustharder]

[Nothing immediately off, no. How familiar are you with the usual supplies in here?]

[trustharder]

[Unless you have more questions about the electronic thing, you're good here!]

AREA CLEAR

[goodforsomething]

Sounds like somethin' he'd be good at. Pinball's either for nerds or cheaters. So me and Ford both used to be pretty good.

[captainobnoxious]

[Vinegar? Oh, gross, that is worse than charred bodies. At least she's used to that.]

Soooo, you might've already guess this, Stan, but a fight happened here.

[An excellent observation. The blood led from here to the sauna area, so where is it in here?]

[cherryblooded]

[Are they big pieces or little pieces, and about how many are there?

He's mainly concerned about whether this also exploded.]

[notjustawriter]

[...That's suspicious.

Let's take a closer look at this thing before he reaches out to grab it.]

[penduli]

[ That's... a really good question and I'm afraid the answer is going to be "probably not as familiar as we need right now" uh. He doesn't stalk it religiously, but he does come in here from time to time to read and to grab candles?

...so probably "okay, but not super familiar." Um. ]

[captainobnoxious]

I thought about putting kittens in it myself. Since they're small and would enjoy chasing the ball.

[Murder what murder.]
