Week 6

Week 6

Monday - Thursday

[ There is a particularly somber atmosphere in the quiet hotel. The day before ended with a terrible miscalculation and an innocent life lost in the name of the “experiment”. Emotions certainly ran high and it would not be strange for those effects to linger into the dawn of the new week. Until now they had successfully determined and executed three other murderers. But the fourth got away. They may not want to face the future yet—but the experiment stops for nothing. 

The opening of a new wing would probably be of little solace to them. But it's not long before they are granted a small distraction.

Early Monday morning -- before they’ve even had a chance to properly examine the new floor and it’s rooms -- a text announcement arrives, following a small jingle. The sound is new; different from the announcement tones used during the investigation last week. It’s just as loud and persistent, but there’s an annoying set of four repeated notes in a pattern that lazily imitates a song assigned to this notification.]

Hello participants. 

I hope you are doing well this morning and are well rested for the day ahead. There will be a meeting held in the lobby fifteen minutes from now. You will all be required to attend. Any person who is absent will be appropriately hunted down and brought to the meeting place by whatever means necessary. An important change has been made to the experimental proceedings, of which you must all now be made well aware.

See you all in fifteen minutes.

[Other than a small pocketknife from the gift shop in a pocket of her school uniform her clothes are pretty clear. In fact, he might notice that her red tie is missing from her school uniform but since it's been gone since week one it shouldn't be too surprising. (Since... she had the bright idea of wrapping the bloody knife in it.) There's just more food in hidden places as if she's trying to keep it hidden this time.

And for the manga? Other than a couple page numbers circled nothing is hidden.]

[nevergraduating]

[Wow Mitsuko... you have food-related problems.]

Should I have brought a house-warming gift from the convenience store or something? [Considering that she likes food and that he kind of submitted her irrelevant shit whoops! But if there's nothing else, he'll also check the sofa and underneath any tables and crap to make sure there's nothing hidden there.]

[forthemoment]

[Maybe she does. Maybe she just wanted to annoy you.]

I'm not answering that. [Nope, nothing there but lint!]

[nevergraduating]

[All it does is want to make him misplace more of her food though...]

Guess I have no reason to feel bad for coming here empty-handed, then! [Or for submitting all that stuff to evidence! But next up is the washroom which at least will probably not smell like accelerant this time.]

[forthemoment]

[It does not! There's also nothing of real interest, either.]

I told you that you wouldn't find anything.

[nevergraduating]

[One final check for the kitchen and the inside of any appliances and that'll probably be it!]

Hey, better that I feel like I just wasted my time than feeling stupid that I didn't even try, right? [Or missed something blatantly obvious because he'd feel even more stupid if it really did turn out the culprit was dumb enough to leave shit out in the open in their room...]

But alright, one last thing. Empty your pockets and take off your shoes. [He'll leave frisking for someone else, but he can at least do this much!?]

[forthemoment]

[More food but that's expected. She complies, though, and slips off her shoes as she empties her pockets. Nothing much there aside from a couple pieces of gum.]

I suppose so but you have all the evidence you need from me.

[nevergraduating]

[What would happen if he tried to eat some of that food-- okay no, he heard about the Estelle incident, he doesn't feel like getting mauled while he only has a dingy pocketknife on him. He'll make sure there's nothing hidden inside the shoes, but aside from that... yeah, he's pretty much done. Unless Mitsuko is okay with him slashing open some pillows!? Or just checking the pillowcases I guess.]

Better safe than sorry, but yeah, if I had to be honest I didn't think there'd be much in your room anyways.

[forthemoment]

[You're really lucky she only goes for girls, Crow. And hey, she didn't need her body anymore! It was fair play. Anyway, nothing in the boxes and nothing in the pillowcases.]

You just like looking through a girl's things, I suppose.

[nevergraduating]

[He sure feels lucky! For once. And wow, maybe she didn't need her body anymore but Kevin sure did to feel it up or... whatever the hell he was doing with it. But honestly he's just kind of standing around at this point. He's long finished the actual search part and is mostly just continuing their conversation at this rate.]

Ouch. Just what kind of guy do you take me for? I'm just taking these investigations real seriously. [From a scale of 1 to 10 just how much bullshit does Mitsuko think he's spewing]

[forthemoment]

[Hey, she didn't kill her. Eating her was fair game.]

Considering what you took... [10. He stole her porn, of course he's probably a perv.]

[nevergraduating]

[Well... that makes it okay then. Or not, because he's pretty sure people had the exact same reaction as they did weeks ago with the Beatrice thing and Conchita.]

Huh? What, the accelerant canister mean that much to you? You can always grab it back from the mail room if you really wanted to keep it. [Guess who's playing dumb!?]

[forthemoment]

That thing? It stank. [Then why did you have the bright idea to pour it down the bathtub drain? Because you're an idiot, Mitsuko.] You can have it.

[nevergraduating]

Nah, I'm good. Sentimentality isn't really my thing anyways. [Yes... all those good memories of intruding on Mitsuko's space when she wasn't there. Good times.]

[forthemoment]

Yes, of course. All the things you took were full of sentimental value. [And she thought she was a pervert.]

[nevergraduating]

"Things"? Wait, what else did I take? [He doesn't recall taking any yuri porn nope, it must've been someone else, clearly!]

[forthemoment]

Oh, you know exactly what you took. I didn't even think men would be into that kind of thing.

[nevergraduating]

Nah, I think you'll have to tell me, 'cause I don't remember doing anything like that. [Say it straight out!!]

[forthemoment]

I knew you took my manga. You really have daring tastes. [She's not embarrassed to say it!] I'm impressed.
