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...?]

Comments

[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?

[airlockedmods]

[On first glance, there is nothing obviously amiss in the game room. You'll have to look a little closer.]

[tasteslikesurvival]

[She'll poke around the game manuals. Did Chitanda decide on some Dungeons and Dragons before death?]

[ambecomedeath]

Do you think she left a message in one of the books?

[What if he checks under some tables. He's being helpful!!]

[tasteslikesurvival]

She might have. I mean...I dunno but it's worth a shot.

[airlockedmods]

[There's nothing going on in the game manuals. But there's a box sitting beneath one of the tables.]

[ambecomedeath]

[Oh! BABY'S FIRST CLUE. Toby crawls closer to check it out.

What is this box?]

[airlockedmods]

[The box is apparently for a magnetic sculpture kit!

It is, however, opened and empty.]

[ambecomedeath]

[Weird. Who the heck would leave something like that here?

Is there anything else weird about it? You know, like is it covered in blood or anything.]

[airlockedmods]

[It is not covered in blood.]

[ambecomedeath]

I read a book like that earlier this week. [He read a lot of garbage mystery books.] The case was solved because the victim left a note in a book.

[tasteslikesurvival]

Huh. Maybe she might have done something like that--[Something catches her eye.]

Hey, what's that?

[ambecomedeath]

It's a sculpture kit, but it's empty. Weird. Hey, do you know if this belongs in here or it came from the art room?

[He holds it up for her to see.]

[tasteslikesurvival]

[She tilts her head a little.]

I think that would be better in the art room but some people put them together like puzzles so it's not too out of place here. I wonder, though...

[ambecomedeath]

Weird!

[He's gonna take the box with him, but also it's kind of awkward to hold with flippers so. Like. He holds it up for Kurumi to take.]

I think you should hold onto this! It could be important and it's kind of big for me.

[tasteslikesurvival]

[She'll take it.]

Thanks. I'll keep it safe. If there's a lot magnets here I wonder if the games are alright.

[ambecomedeath]

It would take a REALLY BIG magnetic field to mess with the games. I don't even think the magnet in this kit was strong enough.

[tasteslikesurvival]

Probably not... Huh. That's a really weird thing.
