First Investigation

[airlockedmods]

[It's been five days since the Champions woke up in the space station, and three days since Bolton's first incentive. And this morning, like the day of the incentive, Bolton is not in the library for his morning office hours. Unlike the day of the incentive, there is no breakfast being served either. The space station is still open for the champions' exploration, but there's something eerie about the suspension of routine, like unfinished business hanging in the air.

The Art Room door is ajar. Maybe someone's channeling their inner art student and pulling an all-nighter...?]

[The Doctor really just wanted to get some coffee this morning. But the Art Room is between his bunk and the cafeteria, and that door looks weirdly ominous. He's going to regret this, but let's take a look inside, then.]

[yukionna]

[ In the absence of a training room to keep her from going stir-crazy, Rukia will absolutely head out there to get some more pencils.

But uh.

What's going on here, friends? ]

...something wrong?

[fatherofsin]

[ ...And then there's this asshole who grumbles and heads on forward to the library while you guys go play with a body probably. ]

[airlockedmods]

[The Art Room smells of blood and paint.

Everything is in disarray, but the most obvious thing here is the figure lying on the floor. She may have been here all night, but she wasn't working on art - unless you appreciate the knives sticking out of her, or the way her blood has pooled on the floor.

Chitanda Eru is dead.

[voltrounds]

[MEANWHILE HERE'S RICKY OBLIVIOUSLY MAKING HER WAY TO THE CAFETERIA SINCE HER ROOM IS PLACED TO LET HER MISS EVERYTHING ENTIRELY.

...and from there into the kitchen, because... no food being served? Weird.]

[decarded]

[yeah, where's the food at]

[fatherofsin]

[ While a bunch of people pile into the art room, Seth heads off to the library because he's grumpy and doesn't care. ]

INVESTIGATION START

[theoverseers]

[It's not the mechanical woman's voice that makes the usual announcements whose voice comes out from the speaker on the PIPs, but Bolton's. Considering how gleeful he was at the incentive earlier in the week, he sounds distracted and almost...upset? The announcement is almost too brief to tell.]

Attention, Champions, the Champion Curiosity's body has been discovered. Now there will be a short period for investigation before the trial.

KITCHEN

[airlockedmods]

[ratherdoweddings]

[Yurika's not too happy. After rounding the others up, she looks at the knives and makes one conclusion. It's off to the kitchen, then. Anything out of order?]

[decarded]

[...Well, Angelica was already there. Let's look around the kitchen while she grabs an MRE.]

[voltrounds]

[WELL SHE KNOWS WHAT'S GOING ON NOW.

Okay, okay. Focus.]

Stab wounds. That means...

[She turns her attention to the knife rack. Anything weird there? Say, something that looks missing?]

ART ROOM

[airlockedmods]

[kingshaming]

[Xander is not messing with the body, but he IS giving anyone not investigating the body itself the stink eye and guarding the place so no one can disturb the poor girl.

Other then the body itself he does give the room a look over to see if anything stands out]

[fatherofsin]

[ As soon as he hears the announcement, Seth sets his work aside in the library and books it to the art room. ]

Out of the way, I can actually act as a coroner.

[ So first of all, what are the knives like? Kitchen, art knives, what? And after that, is there anything immediately eye-catching to someone experienced with anatomy and just generally dead bodies might notice. ]

[yukionna]

[ Rukia will....poke the body if need be because although it's Chitanda, she Does the Death Thing, but it looks like it's mostly covered.

Anything else for her to snoop at? ]

[cyan_maid]

[Okay

Don't anybody even try to pull Jane out of the art room, she's investigating here, even if she can't

Even if she can't look at

We were talking, we were just talking, we were going to

...Let's look at this miserable excuse for an art room. What's out of place in here besides the dead body?]

GAME ROOM

[airlockedmods]

[tasteslikesurvival]

[Kurumi is just going to get some thinking down so she heads away from the art room to the game room for some quiet.

Anything amiss?

CHITANDA'S ROOM

[airlockedmods]

[bylight]

[Nope. After that body announcement Lightning is a little too wound up to join that little freak out party. Better to get away from people.

Which lands her in front of Chitanda's room.

So... let's go in. Anything immediately off?

[airlockedmods]

Attention, Champions. [The mechanical woman's voice makes a return once the last piece of evidence is found.] The time for investigation has ended and the time for a trial has begun. Please report to the teleporter with any relevant evidence for transportation to the court room.

[ooc: The teleporter can hold up to nine people. This first time multiple trips will be needed. Being so wee, Toby counts as half a person and can be carried in a group of nine.]
