Week 3, Friday

[foundationmods]

[As Friday morning dawns on the third week, everything seems normal. The weather is as sunny as always, there's no stillness or heavy air, and after two weeks without a murder it's easy to assume that this Friday will be the same as the others.

Well, it's a few hours yet before Dazai would show up with some fun activity for Friday. Might as well go about with getting up and ready for the day, right? Who knows what you might find waiting for you this morning.]

S-someone.... someone is....

[he can't say it]

[failsaw]

Tch, idiot.

[DONT MAKE HER COME UP TH-- okay Giriko's coming up there

oh cool. a corpse.]

Shit, somebody finally did it, huh? [Giriko doesn't sound put-out by that. She's grinning.]

[iblistriggered]

[well that's fine, Silver is just huddled off to one side]

[foundationmods]

[Thanks giriko

Well, as she says that, with her closer vantage point, it's easier to see who it is.

Her blue hair gently shines in the light, in stark contrast to the whiteness of her skin. Her eyes are closed, as if in repose - if it were not for the wound on her front clearly displaying how she died.

Aqua is dead.]

[failsaw]

[oh right. is her soul still here?]

[foundationmods]

[Nah fam

At least, it's not currently in the area.]

[odasaku]

[ well, he hopes that saki's taking care of silver, because he's going to try to pull the body from the gutter as gently as possible. is she at least in one piece? ]

[iblistriggered]

[PS, Silver did leave the half frozen noodle spear on the roof, so yay]

[foundationmods]

[She is! More specifically, he'll notice she has blood covering her back and up to her head, the same as if she'd been lying in a pool of blood. There's no blood on her legs, however, and There's a small pool of blood in the gutter from where she was laying.

The cause of death is obvious: She's been stabbed in the chest through the heart, though to get more details he'll have to look more closely.]

[odasaku]

[ oda notices the stab through the heart, and grimaces slightly. she didn't deserve such a grizzly fate.

first of all, he'll take the half-frozen tip of the noodle and then compare it to the entry wound on her chest. does it match? ]

[foundationmods]

[It does, but the wound is rather wide.]

[odasaku]

[ how wide are we talking about? can he actually see inside her chest? ]

[foundationmods]

[I mean, it's wide enough for a fucking sharpened pool noodle to fit in.]

[odasaku]

[ well fuck i've never murdered with a pool noodle.

he'll check aqua's hands? is there signs that she fought her attacker back? ]

[foundationmods]

[There's no signs, because she's wearing gloves.

If he checks her body more closely, he will notice the exit wound in her check is much more narrow in the back - a lot like a slit, even.]

[odasaku]

[ oh that's....weird. he'll take a picture of it and the entrance wound.

can he find anything in her pockets? or is there something else that's off about her corpse? ]

[odasaku]

...

[ oda's also see the corpse. unlike giriko, his expression does look a bit more somber. ]

Aqua. The victim's Aqua.

[iblistriggered]

[distressed ball noises]

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[Guess who steps outside just in time to hear that.]

...Aqua is...?

[odasaku]

She's dead.

[ he looks over to her, his expression unreadable and his shoulders sagging. ]

Can you help me get Silver down? He's not doing well.

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[Saki nods, pale as she murmurs something under her breath. She's imagining a giant hand gently picking up the little hedgehog to bring to her own outstretched arms.

She can carry him away from here. He doesn't need to see this.]

[iblistriggered]

[Silver doesn't move, still curled into a loose ball, so his quills aren't super stiff or anything. In Saki's arms, he shudders]

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[She'll give him a gentle hug of a hold once she's got him, throwing one more glance Oda's way before carrying the poor hedgehog elsewhere.

They can curl up in the common room away from the blood and the sads.]

[iblistriggered]

[Silver will just stay in a silent, loose ball on or near Saki, huddled up close to her like he's freezing and she's the only warm object for miles. His eyes are dull, glazed.

They failed. They weren't able to stop it, and now Aqua was dead by one of their own hands.]

[odasaku]

[ he mouths "thank you" before returning to the body. he is a detective, after all. ]
