Non-Peace Weekend - Investigation

[mockmods]

[Two weeks have passed since your arrival. The Researcher has delivered a pair of motives, promising to reward some or punish others if rule 7 is not enacted by the end of the week.]

[Today is Friday, the deadline for your incentives. There is no morning announcement today.]

[Maybe It's nothing, but you might notice a faint, odd metallic scent in the air as you exit your bedrooms this morning.]

[Proceed with caution, Participants.]

Comments

[mightdoriya]

[Izuku is always up early, and the past few days have been no exception. Since he's already awake and actually waiting for the announcement before he leaves his room, the lack of one is strange and very much noticed. And when he leaves his dorm, that scent that hits his nose is...familiar in a way he doesn't like. Without taking much time to think about it, he'll follow the scent down the hall to wherever it might lead him.]

[windowsexplorer]

[Meredith is... well, strictly speaking she's following Izuki, but she smells the scent too.]

Do you think something happened?

[mightdoriya]

I don't know. [He doesn't want to make any rash assumptions, but the best he can guess from there being no announcement is that if something didn't happen with them, something happened between Penny and the Researcher. And given his conversation with her before movie night...it leaves him unsettled. To that end, he won't tell Meredith to go back to her room for her own safety even if his first instinct is to do so...it might be better not to be alone right now.] Stay close.

[mockmods]

[Follow your nose, Izuku. You won't need to go far; just down the hallway, towards the hub housing the security office and dining area. Boy, someone sure made a mess of things.]

[mightdoriya]

[Following his nose has never steered him wrong before, but he hates it in this instance. That's where he'll head, then, keeping his guard up the stronger the scent gets. So, when he gets to the hub he'll survey the immediate surroundings before choosing any particular place to go...what exactly do we mean by mess?]

[doppelanger]

[ hey y'all guess who absolutely recognizes the smell of blood AND wants a danish ]

[windowsexplorer]

[WHY DID A THING HAPPEN NEAR THE SECURITY OFFICE OH NO]

[biolence]

[Rosa awakens and makes for the coffee as usual, but the smell in the air has her pausing in her tracks. She scrunches up her nose, casting a wild-eyed, suspicious glance around the common area between the dorms.

Does it smell like blood?]

[mockmods]

[Oh boy does it. And heading for coffee is the right direction, or the absolute worst direction depending on your point of view.]

[biolence]

[Cool so Rosa’s gonna go ahead and follow the blood smell. It’s not her first time at the rodeo. She noses toward the dining room and pokes her head in.]

[deathroadtocanada]

[Kara wakes up as early as she normally does. When sleep isn't a necessity for Androids, she can feel rested while still noticeably restless.

She notices the odd scent in the air as soon as she steps out of her room. It's not one she's fully familiar with, but something about it still fills her with anxiety.

Guess it's time to follow wherever it leads to...]

Investigation Start

[mockmods]

[As the Participants gather, the Researcher's voice rings out over the loudspeaker system.]

[The document has a small camera icon in the lower left corner? To save everyone bumbling around, we'll just tell you now - it's to document evidence. Just snap a photo of whatever seems relevant, and it'll get added to everyone's case file.]

Foyer

[mockmods]

[There's a lot to unpack here so let's just throw out the whole guitar case.]

[mightdoriya]

[WELL, IT'S NEARBY...and since it seems like Rosa will be able to handle the actual body check (he might have emergency situation experience but he's never actually had to investigate a cadaver before), Izuku will eventually peel himself away from the more grisly scene. ...and possibly thrust himself into an even grislier one?? Who even knows, his pants are already covered in blood so it's not like it can get any worse.]

[doppelanger]

[ WELL, SHE'S HERE AND SHE'S READY TO MESS WITH A BODY but also, from experience, detectives can get really touchy when you, say, mess with their crime scene, or access their computer and move photos on their serial killer wall around, or kind of graze their ear with a bullet. She pauses, then says: ]

I am going to kitchen. Call if you have knife questions, please.

[ Which is all you get out of her until, however many minutes later, she comes out with bloody hands and forearms, doublefisting four big, bloody kitchen knives. And after an "excuse me" to anyone nearby, she'sefinitely going to crouch over the body and eyeball the neck wound if nobody stops her, Sonia's already done it so why not. ]

[aragona]

[She talked to Yaiba once but she's not all that upset about his death. She's just sticking around the body since she's curious as to what he was.

So from crouching over his head, is there anything that sticks out?]

AREA CLEAR

[mockmods]

Kitchen

[mockmods]

[Maybe it was just a midnight snack gone horribly wrong?]

[clandestineideals]

[ Got up a little late, but the situation is obvious as day. What's off at first glance if anything? ]

[doppelanger]

[ SPEAKING OF KNIFE QUESTIONS after whatever's immediately off, what's up with that knife block? Is anything missing? can she take one ]

Supply Closet

[mockmods]

[Maybe you can at least mop up a little, ew.]

Dorm B2

[B2 or not B2, that is- wait, dammit.]
