second investigation

[arsholes]

[Friday again? Oh dear...

It’s entirely possible that the ruthless murder last week was a fluke. A one-off incident that, with the perpetrator dead and dissolved into purple smoke, leaves the surviving apprentices free to try and live out the next 28 days without further bloodshed.

But it’s been a few days since the Alchemist’s motive and just like last week the tower feels deathly still and eerily quiet as people roll out of bed to start their day.]

[Welp, time to go to the garden area once again, for purposes. How are things going over here?]

[predecir]

[Well, Bruno doesn't have a great feeling about today, but he's sure as hell not gonna say anything about it. Don't want folks thinking he's making a prophecy. So, as per usual, he gets up with his rats and heads to the kitchen to get everybody fed.]

[amitiesbind]

[ olive is going to go vibe in the garden!! surely no one would leave a body there. ]

[squidproquos]

[ Azul's gonna take a nice walk down to the dock since it seems like a nice day! ]

[rikonstructed]

[Nuadha still has zero capacity to cook. But he's made more of a habit of heading down to the kitchen in the mornings just to keep an eye on things.]

[nomansbosom]

[Okay. So how's the training room THIS week?]

[philomachy]

[...listen just gonna go make sure the library doesn't have another body in it because I genuinely don't trust nikki to not have killed wu twice in there, SOMEHOW]

[reresurrected]

[Baldr is going to take a brief moment to get some fresh air before heading back inside to the kitchen to get some food going.

How are things looking around the lake?]

[arsholes]

[Well, there are things to find here but first and foremost Katsuya is getting accosted by Chiffon the Cake Dog as he opens the doors! He's yapping his little head off, trying to shove his way back inside.]

[arsholes]

[yap yap yap!]

[arsholes]

[LET HIM IIIIN]

[arsholes]

[Oh boy, Bruno. There's stuff to see here but the kitchen is not in great shape.]

[arsholes]

[Bruno can confirm it is looking bad, actually. But not corpse discovery bad.]

[arsholes]

[All clear. :)]

[predecir]

[........

HEY NUADHA LET'S LEAVE]

[arsholes]

[So...there's nothing visually off about the library. Not like with Wu.

But there is a certain smell in the air. The smell of something burnt.]

[nomansbosom]

[Your smiley concerns and frightens me, but fine, he'll get in some drills with Finn Sword before everything goes to heck.]

[arsholes]

[The lake? Chill and possibly monster-filled as ever!]

[philomachy]

[Well, we may as well go on and check that out. Following the burning smell.

What do we got?]

[spitessier]

Hello, little cake.

[Oh hi Chiffon!

......

But where's Red Velvet?

Time to peek inside from the entrance, not calling out for the cookie]

[reresurrected]

[So normal, in other words. Good to know! He'll just enjoy his walk.]

[rikonstructed]

[...Yeah maybe Bruno should leave.]

Stay back. I'll look around.

[pegasinister]

[Heading to the Tinkerer's Haven to work on his staff some more]

[arsholes]

[If he follows his nose, wherever it goes, the burnt smell becomes more intense and becomes recognizable as burnt sugar.

It's going to lead him straight to the book fort.]

[predecir]

I-I'll go find...

[Someone? Unclear! He's just gonna hurry back to the dorms or anywhere else!]
