THE FIFTH VICTIM

[airlockedmods]

[Yet another Friday has rolled around, and despite what would seem like the Overseer's best efforts, another incentive has gone out. Once again, everyone who received a boon this week will find that they remain where they are - you get to keep those.

Once again, it is quiet here. You don't get to keep everything.]

How did I forget my boxes omg

[kingshaming]

[Morning routine, as usual. But after every other Friday being... a thing, Xander is on guard as he steps out into the station proper- guess let's just head right out to the cafeteria cuz we need coffee]

[bylight]

[Lightning steps out of her room and decides that the gym is where she'll go. Is this murder scene central once again?]

[airlockedmods]

[The gym is totally normal for once. Good job, Lightning!]

[curdle]

[ Well, it's time to go through a morning pseudo-routine that makes her feel like she's doing something! That means going to the garden and checking out the pigeons to see if there's any eggs she can gather in her fruit basket, then bring them to the kitchen, and then shower. God knows how much of that she'll actually get to complete. ]

[airlockedmods]

[I sort of hate you for choosing this, just so you know.

But Thomasin, dear, it looks as if someone is sitting beneath one of the trees in the garden.]

[stitch_in_time]

[Another Friday. Another regularly scheduled death, unless things have changed for the better.]

[Not quite holding his breath, the Doctor's going to take a careful patrol of the station. Let's start with the Zero-G Room, because after his conversation with Xander he has a bad feeling.]

[airlockedmods]

[The limp figure of a cowboy drifts past...

No, there is nothing going on in the zero-g room.]

[cyan_maid]

[...Okay. It's the scary day. The dead body day. Jane hopes beyond hope there's no fifth time.

In order, she goes to the shower, the cafeteria, then up to the music room. Anything out of sorts on her route?]

[airlockedmods]

[Nope, nope, and nope. All clear, Jane.]

[refusedtoleave]

[Natsuhi's in the cafeteria, eating her weird space breakfast.

...She misses having a chef. Gouda's getting a payrise when all this is over.

Oh. Hi Jane! You're getting a wave, you bet be having breakfast.]

[refusedtoleave]

[Natsuhi's just going to go through her morning routine and eat breakfast in the cafeteria.

Nothings going to happen today right?]

[airlockedmods]

[The cafeteria's clean!]

DINER

[airlockedmods]

1/3

[cyan_maid]

[BURSTING THE FUCK ON IN HERE AFTER THIS to go right to Ricky's body - Jane's not here to examine it, though. She stops short right where Ricky is, looks at her, and then...attempts the Lifey Thing.]

2/3

[cyan_maid]

[...

She...attempts the Lifey Thing.]

3/3

[cyan_maid]

[ATTEMPTS...THE LIFEY...THING...

But nothing happened. Not even a spark for the PIP to chastise her for. Whatever's hooked up to her arm has her power on absolute lockdown. Jane lets out a strangled yell and falls to her knees, sobbing into the floor.

Someone pick her up, please.]

[refusedtoleave]

[Once the worst attempt at comforting someone ever is over. Natsuhi's going to stand up and just look at the body in the booth.

It really is a mess.

Is there anything still on the table?]

GARDEN

[airlockedmods]

[curdle]

[ After she manages to tear her eyes away from Kurumi, she's going to get away from that corpse and check out the pigeon coop, because she loved those feathery bastards enough that even a pretty casual acquaintance like Thomasin knows it. Could she have been there before whatever it was that happened to her? ]

KURUMI'S ROOM

[airlockedmods]

[bylight]

[Haaaa... Lightning has wandered into this place. She tries to take a steadying breath and looks around. Anything immediately off?]

INCINERATOR

[airlockedmods]

[imnotfat]

[Alright, what evidence did you try to get rid of, you killers? Take a look inside the incinerator, Togami. It has no space lube inside]

INVESTIGATION CLOSE

[airlockedmods]

Attention, Champions. [The mechanical woman's voice the Champions now know as C.E.C.E. rings from their PIPs as the last of the 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.
