fourth victim

[airlockedmods]

[It's a new day, and everyone who was sabotaged finds themselves free of the sabotage - the electric locks on Jane's mittens, Lightning's skates, and Xander's spreader bar all come free. Xander will even find a familiar-looking outfit in his closet, almost as an apology for what he's had to endure over the last few days.

But there does appear to be something wet on the floor of the males' side of the first floor hallway...]

[Yurika walks up, dragging behind her a roll of bubble wrap covered in glued-on tissue paper flowers, humming... and stops cold.]

What?

[dumping the decorations on the floor sorry WHAT'S GOING ON THERE WHO DED]

[imnotfat]

...hm.

[Something wet as in blood or something wet as in something that isn't blood? Let's check together, Yurika]

[refusedtoleave]

[She just wanted to go to the art room.]

Was there a leak?

[It is water right?]

[bylight]

[There's a commotion. What's going on?]

[curdle]

[ Well, she was going to shower and now she's just peeking out, literally sticking her head and shoulders out of her door. ]

What is't?

[kingshaming]

[Xander, dressed much more responsibly, sees the people gathering and feels a drop of dread]

Gods, what now?

[voltrounds]

[Ricky opens up her door to head for the <b>diWHOA WAIT WHY ARE ALL THESE PEOPLE STANDING IN THE HALL]

What's...?

[cyan_maid]

Hm? What's going on?

[Jane has emerged from her room in...her awful red skirt...and A SHIRT AT LAST!!! Bless you for your generosity, Xander.]

Why's everything all wet...?

[stitch_in_time]

[A Time Lord is never late... except when he totally is. He's got a bad feeling about today, and it only gets worse when he sees everyone congregating in the hallway.]

Dammit. Again, like clockwork-

[bylight]

We're never getting a break from this.

[It's going to be obvious who's died at this moment.]

POOL/ICE RINK

[airlockedmods]

[bylight]

[Yep. Since there was a lot of water, this is the first place Lightning can think of investigating. Anything off as she walks in?]

AREA CLEAR

BAR

[airlockedmods]

[cyan_maid]

[Oh gosh Shadow oh no...Jane literally just spoke to him for the first time this week and now he's dead. This is awful.

Might as well go to the bar, which was the place they spoke, and feel sad for a minute. Is there anything unusual or out of place for a bar around here?]

AREA CLEAR

[airlockedmods]

SHADOW'S ROOM

[airlockedmods]

[imnotfat]

[Alright, time for work. He's not going for the body, though. He's no coroner.

What's the obvious object to be found in this place?]

[curdle]

[ Well, she's here, and she isn't leaving! But she's also not touching that body. What's up with the bathroom? Also can she splash some cold water on her face or is that a murder weapon too. ]

[ratherdoweddings]

[Body time. How about that head injury? Does it look like he hit his head on something, or is it from a weapon?]

STORAGE ROOM

[airlockedmods]

[kingshaming]

[He's got this fam.]
