THE SECOND VICTIM

[airlockedmods]

[It's been one week since Mikaela and Mai died, and so far, it looks as though this week should have been safer than any. Everyone's been bonding closely, and though P.A.L. attempted to hand down secret motivations for murderer, they've been undermined somewhat by your willingness to share secrets.

You've all been doing well.

Nonetheless, something is amiss somewhere in the mansion this morning.]

Comments

[serrata]

[ alright, so after the... everything last night was, Yuuri's on her way to the dining room and the kitchen to tidy up after the King's Game. Anything amiss here? ]

[scourgingstars]

[...yeah that got a little crazy didn't it. might as well make sure some terrible king's game mastermind isn't cleaning up on her own, right]

[shikosuki]

[ yawning ]

Good morning Yuuri-san.

[desperateprayer]

[ Like usual, Clarith heads to the garden first thing to visit the memorials. ]

[airlockedmods]

[You're good! Have fun, Clarith.]

[brokencode]

[Angel's first instinct is to rush to the first floor foyer. She has a bad feeling, and she needs to know if someone hecked up again.]

Jk im here

[plugout]

[ oh hey what up girl ]

Hey... You okay?

[shikosuki]

[ Choromatsu is heading to the kitchen for breakfast, not even expecting anything to be wrong.

Does he come across anything on the way there? ]

[honoraryembryon]

[ Roland is headed over to the tattoo parlor for some more paper this morning. What? He wants to keep writing, and it's the only paper around. ]

[tacomeme]

[Now that he's more used to the yucky water, Takumi has decided that morning swims should be a thing and peeks in the pool to see if anyone else is there yet]

[goteachother]

[There's the sound of running feet passing the door and then abruptly changing direction. Then there's a Queenie leaning in the doorway, offering him a shaky smile.

If she panics too soon he'll bolt.]

Takumi! There ya are.

[daughterofthemark]

[Arianna apparently inadvertendly stole a pillow from the first floor rest area yesterday, so first thing in the morning she heads off to put that back.]

[everylittlesecret]

[First aid room is Nari's first stop today. All clear?]

[marvelously]

[lets have an eensy-weensy peek at the bowling alley this morning. hopefully there's noone there so she can practice without anyone making fun of her!]

[getgood]

[Lee's a few steps behind Mary, her half-asleep stretches windmilling in the air around her.]

You gonna play this early, or you wanna sprint with me?

[myocordial]

[So how are things looking over in the second floor rest area?]

[airlockedmods]

[Oh, hey, it looks like someone's sleeping in here.

Face-down.]

[buddyoldpal]

[ Morning seems like a great time to check the storage room for... you know. Bodies. Or lube. You know, the morning necessities. ]

[airlockedmods]

Attention, Champions. The Champion of Resistance's body has been found. After a short period of investigation, please proceed with Kip to the courtroom for a trial.

Cece will continue to be on morgue duty.

Wound diagram.

Kitchen

[airlockedmods]

[shikosuki]

[ Well since he's here with #KitchenCrew anyway...

Anything suspicious here? ]

2nd Floor Rest Area

[airlockedmods]

[everylittlesecret]

Please. Bones? Would that make you Booth?

[Anyways. Joking aside, Nari puts on a pair of gloves and kneels to hover over the body. Anything to note before she turns it over?]

Pool

[airlockedmods]

[motherfucking_ghost]

[Church is still in his shirt and pants, just all disheveled-like. Out of the guest house and into...the chaos, apparently. Finn...god damn it, no, and after he'd made fun of him...after his first kiss!

Nari will have the body on lockdown. It's so...strange for this to be happening. It must have been another accident. He wanders into the pool area to maybe chill out and think because fuck all this and anything immediately wrong with this picture?]

First Floor Bathroom

[airlockedmods]

[goteachother]

[This is less investigating and more getting her shit together before she puts on the brave face for coffee and pancakes.

Is there anything obvious?]

Infirmary

[airlockedmods]

[buddyoldpal]

[ Well, Nari's got the body and if he showed up on the second floor, then there might be a thing or two in the rooms up here. Last time was an accident, but asphyxiation sure as hell doesn't happen accidentally.

So Nishitani heads to the infirmary and starts searching through some of the cabinets. Anything weird going on in there? ]

Storage Room

[airlockedmods]

[marvelously]

[the storage room seems like a good place to hide out and cry. surely there is nothing murder-y in here, right?]

WHO NEEDS TEA AND COMPANY

[serrata]

[ ALRIGHT. INSTEAD OF DEALING WITH OUR GRIEF LIKE HEALTHY ADULTS, LET'S CRUSH OUR FEELINGS INTO THE PIT OF OUR STOMACHS AND KEEP AN EYE ON EVERYONE. Or at least that's what Yuuri's doing. She's brewing endless pots of tea and moving them to the dining room with some of the buffet leftovers.

Come in and sit down if you need a breather. You'll get a pat on the shoulder and a sad, distracted smile from the hostess herself and when she's worn herself out on keeping an eye on folks, she'll slide herself into a seat to poke at some food and sip at her tea.

It's a dour sort of breakfast but it's a dour sort of Friday, isn't it? ]

[honoraryembryon]

[ He has nothing better to do this time around, and is far more concerned about Takumi and Clarith, so he's going to hang out here.

And make some coffee, too. Because some people might want that, instead of tea. He sure as hell does. ]

Thanks.

[ To her. A nod of his head; he's glad someone's trying to help. Glancing to Takumi and Clarith and then the others here. Will this be okay? Can they keep him here? ]

INVESTIGATION CLOSE

[airlockedmods]

Attention, Champions. The time for investigation has ended and the time for a trial has begun. Report to the pool patio doors with any relevant evidence and wait for the doors to open. Refusal to comply with result in an automatic punishment.
