Corrin put her arms up on the edge of the pool. "We're supposed to meet someone in half an hour to get info on a different investigation." She pointed to the 'Missing' posters by her armor. "We're just relaxing for now..."
"Is that so..." Honda shrugged. Well, no point in skipping out on some good relaxation!!"

He took a few steps back, far as he could, before running and jumping into the pool.

"CANNONBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
 
She didn't get it. To be fair, he didn't either. Still, just saying she was leader and going the same way everyone else was wasn't gonna cut it. "You can't call yourself leader simply by saying 'Go this way' to a stream that cannot change its course. You may call yourself leader when you are a uniting force. One that binds people together, either through bonds forged through cooperation, or through mutual trust. Either way, even if you call yourself leader, even if you mean best, being a leader is more than barking orders. It's more than looking at statistics. It is being a figure that all who trust will look to for guidance. I will admit that there is a time and place for detachment, and I will admit that kindness may be taken advantage of as a weakness..." Genji still had a quiet kindness to his voice. The younger woman was practically a child, and he was getting to be an older man. She thought herself tall when she had a lot of growing left to do. He knew she would be tested in this position.

"... But, on the other hand, being completely cold will harden the hearts of those around you. If you are truly alright with the man walking behind you thinking you do not care about his life, you must expect the same from him. Balance is key in all things. In your striving to distance yourself for the good of the group, see to it you do not sabotage your own efforts by sowing resentment." He removed his mask as he spoke, seeing it as more respectful to do so.

"In the same way you ask that we remember you are human, you must remember that most of us, are, too. Some are even fortunate enough to have gone into this ordeal with no experience with the ugliness of death. Children. Average people. These people need more than a good mind to keep them going, Kyoko. They need someone to convince them that it will be alright, even if it is not true. They need someone who feels more deeply for their suffering than anyone else in the group, even if they do not express it. To be prepared to bear more emotional weight than all their followers put together. They need someone who can give them hope. Without the ability to inspire hope, what are you going to do when what hope they have falls apart after witnessing another friend die? How are you going to tell Morikubo it will be alright as she stares at the decapitated corpse of an ally?"

"Believe it or not, I do believe that you are as kind as you say, deep down, and I will admit that the strength to make a hard call is very important for a leader. I believe it when you say you will do whatever it takes to save these people, and I believe you to have a lot of potential to help this group. I do not know you well, Kyoko. I cannot judge your abilities in full, but, if you believe yourself to be up to the task, I will gladly follow you."

Wanda's mood wasn't ruined. Playfully, she'd splash the wrestler.

"I'm right here, you know?"

Splashing Max, Wanda would call over Genji and Kyoko.

"Come on you two! The water's nice! We have very few moment's like this, Kyoko!"

Wanda's behavior had switched 360 since the day before. She seemed, peaceful.

"We can't fight that we're here. It's fate. Just enjoy the lighter moments."

Kyoko was about to produce her own reply to Genji, but, deliberately or not, it would appear that Wanda would interrupt their philosophical debate over the ethics of leadership.

Perhaps it was just as well.

With a sigh, Kyoko figured she may as well enjoy the moment indeed, maybe as her first step to taking Genji's advice. With that, she would squat down and unbuckle the straps on her boots, stepping out of them, revealing her knee socks, which she would then take off as well. However, she'd stop there, only deciding to sit down at the edge of the pool from there and merely setting her bare feet in the water.

She took a breath. The water was pleasantly warm, as expected of an indoor pool. Kyoko was still reluctant to take a breather for a moment, as there was still work to be done around here, but Max didn't seem to be keen on cooperating until certain circumstances were met, so maybe she could just say this was relaxing and working at the same time.

Tomoko had been busy staring at Nono's chest like the perv she was, when the question Nono asked, brought her out of the trance. She laughed nervously and smiled at the girl

"U-u-u-uh yeah...that's right, n-n-nice to meet you." She said with a stutter, before turning and noticing Corrin had jumped into the pool, seeing her friend all wet, was driving her crazy, her blush deepens as she walks to the edge of the pool

"I-I'm not so sure Corrin-San, I don't have a bathing suit." She said

zjnnzrs.jpg

"The swimsuits are in the room over there..." Nono points in a direction, directing Tomoko to some changing rooms, "oh... if only Morikubo could've found a one piece that fits her..."​

Honda frowned, putting his hands on Bolin's shoulders. "Bolin, listen!! It isn't right...but is it worth dying for? For not getting to see that Mako person you mentioned? You need to stay stong, to make sure the Darkness doesn't consume you!"

Suddenly he heard loud splashing from where they were and the sounds of fellow campers laughing. "Huh! Let's see what the fun is all about, shall we?!" Maybe that would lighten their moods by going to the pool.
@Yang Lee @Atomyk @Josh M
Honda arrived at the pool, looking around. "Huh! Some investigation you've got going here!!" It was not a scolding by any means-he was laughing heartily, in the need of something light after the events of yesterday.

"How many people did you invite, Max? How are you all finding this place?" Nono asks Max as Honda and Bolin roll in action. "At this rate my Enochlophobia is going to kick in... Morikubo can't possibly handle a pool full of... everyone..."
"Is that so..." Honda shrugged. Well, no point in skipping out on some good relaxation!!"

He took a few steps back, far as he could, before running and jumping into the pool.

"CANNONBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Corrin swam to the other side of the pool.

"..." Darv simply stood at the edge of the pool, frowning slightly "It's always water, isn't it?"
"I will be over there if you need me, Corrin"

Turning, he walks a few feet from the pool, removing his helm and setting it down on one of the relaxed looking chairs "If I was a younger man, I'd join them" he murmurs, glancing over his shoulder briefly. While he had to admit, it looked fun, he felt he would only ruin the atmosphere by standing there protectively

"She'll be fine, there's a lot of folks there"

Sitting down he looks at the ring on his hand for a moment, sighing gently. Who were those people she had spoken of before? Were they her family? A husband and children?
Were they merely her subjects? She was a princess after all, she had a kingdom to run and subjects to rule over. Perhaps that was all they were to here?

Sighing, he rubs a finger and thumb over his eyes
"Oh Darv, you old fool"

Twilight Update
"Out of Desperation"

Max was climbing out of the pool, laughing. Though the mood around the pool had fluctuated, at least Max had felt she had a good time. She climbed out on to the tiled floor, dripping wet, making a run for one of the towels. They were going to leave a huge mess, but frankly, Max couldn't have cared less at the moment. "You guys..." said the girl, giggling and drying her hair. "You guys! I really... have to thank you. I really don't have many friends here, and Tommy, well..." The girl lowered the towel, her face taking on a gloomy expression. "It doesn't matter. I've had... a rough few weeks, so this really helped."

Max began to eagerly put on her clothes, looking ready to get down to business now. She grabbed her camera and cradled it. "You guys wanted to know about Mark Jefferson? I'll tell you everything I know... And I mean everything. It's the least I can do for what you've done. Meet me on the roof of the dorms in, like, fifteen minutes. We'll have it to ourselves."

d1xXMUk.png


Smiling one last time, Max made a break for the exit, though not before turning around and snapping a picture of the scene. It was a memory she wanted to hold on to.

When Max was gone, Monomi came in soon after, somehow showing up seemingly out of nowhere.

XVqjYfb.png


"I'm... so glad everyone managed to have some fun! If you can still maintain hope, then even Monokuma can't stop you! But... are you making sure to find out about the mystery? We wouldn't want him to be mad... Who was that girl, anyway? She said to meet you in fifteen minutes... Monomi will make sure you guys are right on time!"

***

In the dorms, Diana reached out to Stiles to stop him from running off after Tommy, but Jack caused her to pause. She turned to him with her hands raised in a shrug. "How would I know? I don't think we learned anything by coming here. Look, we should get Stiles and--"

A shrill alarm cut through what Diana was saying, echoing through the dormitories. If Diana had to guess, it was the fire alarm. "Go, go!" she yelled over the noise, running back to catch up to Stiles and grab him by the arm. " I don't think I'm even supposed to be in the boy's dorms!"

She escorted Stiles outside, while Mike escorted Jack, Rant, and Yurick. The group fell in with the crowd of students leaving the dormitories. As they exited out on to the front lawn, Diana looked around wildly for Victoria.

"Victoria?!"

As it was the time when both Max and Bullet had told the various groups to meet up, the rest of the students were on their way to the dormitories, only to encounter the crowd waiting outside. "Oh, no... there's so many people!" Monomi held up her hands, trying to make herself look bigger. "Don't lose Monomi!!" The little rabbit started bouncing off students, unnoticed as their attention was pulled upward toward the roof of the dormitories.

Before anyone realized what was happening, someone was dropping from the roof.


The body abruptly stopped twenty feet from the top, suspended in mid-air by a rope tied around their neck. It took only a second for the students below to break out into screams and cries. There was mass panic on the grass as everyone jumped into a flurry of motion. Some students went running, while some cell phones were pulled out to make calls and snap pictures. Not a one had seen such an awful sight in their life, and so soon after the death of a beloved teacher.

"What in the--" Jude had arrived, gravitating toward the people he knew. He pointed up to the roof. "Go! We have to get up there!"

Jude charged, moving fast no matter who was following. He didn't know the area, so he found himself lingering at the dorms common room area, but Victoria was running down the hall to meet him. "What's going on?!" she cried, to which Jude had to explain the grim situation. Without any emotion, Victoria could only point toward the stairs. Jude only took a few steps before he gestured for her to follow, ushering her to lead him.

Victoria led the group up to the top floor, where they ran into the principal running up from the opposite staircase. He nodded to the group before joining them out on the roof, where they found the rope tied around an air-conditioning unit. The principal pulled out a knife to cut the rope, but Jude yelled for him not to do it. "That would be a very bad idea! Pull!"

It wasn't long before the body was pulled up to the roof, then revealed to be Maxine Caulfield.

a1dbJSW.png


Victoria shrank away from the body, shuddering in horror. "Max?! N-No! Max, no! Oh my god, no!" Victoria backed up into a wall, where her legs gave out on her and she slid to the ground. Her body shook, wracked with sobs.

"The rope, the fall... her neck was snapped. I'm surprised she... This... c-could have been much worse."

5G3rcSw.png


"...!"

Kyoko also let out a small gasp, having to cover her mouth upon practically instinct like perhaps some of the other people around were doing. Damn, that girl was probably their best chance at getting the information regarding the teacher's death... But of course, most importantly, another life was unfortunately extinguished. A young one, a girl so full of life and energy.

Unforgivable. She could almost feel her heart clench as tightly as her fist, but she had to keep a cool head no matter what. She couldn't afford to look weak, to look vulnerable.

Principal Klim was at a loss for words. "What do I do...?"

"I know!"

dJXdWIc.png


Monokuma was on the scene, holding his stubby arms in the air. "This is a body discovery! A crime scene!" Monokuma imitated a noise that sounded like police sirens. "As the town sheriff, I'm declaring this a case for my forensics team!"

tumblr_m9t31sX4ER1qgcra2o1_500.gif


As though it were like clockwork, the sound of Monokuma imitating police sirens would be replaced by the distant sound of actual sirens down below, a police car at the front seen stopping at the front entrance.

Stepping out of the car, a man, features somewhat obscured by the hat he was wearing, would give a brief glance to the commotion coming from upstairs. As though grasping the severity of the situation, he would waltz inside, making his way up the stairs of the school until reaching the roof where everyone else would be located, speaking to let himself be known.

"Alright, alright, clear the area! Don't get too close to the body! This is a crime scene and we can't have any risk of contaminating potential evidence," the man said, approaching the scene and pulling out what looked to be a sort of badge.

ff7f13aa31a9409f920d081001313e90.png


"My name is Detective Cole Phelps, and I received an anonymous call that there'd been a murder here," he stated matter-of-factly, introducing himself to the so-called forensics team, "Looks like it wasn't just a prank call after all."

"Though the Upupu laughing and the bear puns sure made it seem like it."

"Please remain calm and just cooperate. Now... You people," Phelps would say, pointing to Kyoko and the rest of the group, "You all don't exactly look like students here, so please state your name and business, miss..."

Ak3rjDe.png


"Kyoko Kirigiri. As for these people, they are my... associates. We're a..." Kyoko cleared her throat, "... forensics team. We happened to be investigating an unrelated death that had occurred here sometime before... before this happened."

"..."

Detective Phelps glanced at Corrin, then at Darv, then at Tharja, then at Poison, then at Wanda, then at Honda, among several others who might have stuck out, and bit his lip, giving Kyoko "the look." For some reason, it didn't seem like he even noticed Monokuma.

TXhQYlZ.png


"... I see," Cole could only say. "Well... In any case, you wouldn't happen to have identification, would you?"

"... Ask Monokuma."

"... I'm sorry, who...?"

ncPKUyW.png


Monokuma cleared his throat.

...

"... I'll take my chances," Cole said upon spotting the little bear, and then diverting his gaze back to Kyoko and the group, "Let's get to work then. What have I got to lose anyway? See me if any one of you find anything worth noting. Even if you think it's so inane, it could be the deciding factor. Alright?"

"I... I will leave this to the investigators." Klim stood to his feet, nervously dusting off his clothing. "I will leave you access to... Miss Caulfield's room. Please excuse me, I need to take care of the students."

And thus, let the investigation begin.

"Well, see you later Max..." Nono smiles as Max walks away. "Morikubo is glad to have met... someone approachable. Then again, she did have a pretty frightening first impression, but I guess she's a good person underneath..."

When Max was gone, Monomi came in sooner after, somehow showing up seemingly out of nowhere.

"EEEK! Usamin-sensei! We didn't mean to sneak in to the pool, we just-"

Monomi's words suggested otherwise and deviated from Nono's idea that Monomi would be pretty cross. However, Monomi seemed pretty pleased that the crew made a new friend.

"Thank you... Usamin-sensei..."

"She... who did this to her? What did she do to deserve this? Morikubo doesn't understand... not a bit... not a bit... Morikubo wanted to know more about Max... even though we just knew her for a little over an hour or so..."

That's it!

"Kirigiri-san, Kushinada-san, Shimada-san, Zenyetta-dono," Nono brings the four close to her before whispering. "Morikubo... thinks- no... knows where some answers will be hidden...

... Maxine Caulfield's..."

Nono was feeling somewhat jittery.

"... diary..."

Nono jitters as she walks into Max's dormitary room...



GCrFl7e.webp

"Hoo... that was close..." Nono was finally in the room. Using her girl power, she tried to pinpoint the possible locations where Max would hide her diary.

What would she find in the process?

The principal pulled out a knife to cut the ripe, but Jude yelled for him not to do it. "That would be a very bad idea! Pull!"

It wasn't long before the body was pulled up to the roof, then revealed to be Maxine Caulfield.

Victoria shrank away from the body, shuddering in horror. "Max?! N-No! Max, no! Oh my god, no!" Victoria backed up into a wall, where her legs gave out on her and she slid to the ground. Her body shook, wracked with sobs.

"The rope, the fall... her neck was snapped. I'm surprised she... This... c-could have been much worse."

5G3rcSw.png


"...!"

Kyoko also let out a small gasp, having to cover her mouth upon practically instinct like perhaps some of the other people around were doing. Damn, that girl was probably their best chance at getting the information regarding the teacher's death... But of course, most importantly, another life was unfortunately extinguished. A young one, a girl so full of life and energy.

Unforgivable. She could almost feel her heart clench as tightly as her fist, but she had to keep a cool head no matter what. She couldn't afford to look weak, to look vulnerable.

Principal Klim was at a loss for words. "What do I do...?"

"I know!"

dJXdWIc.png


Monokuma was on the scene, holding his stubby arms in the air. "This is a body discovery! A crime scene!" Monokuma imitated a noise that sounded like police sirens. "As the town sheriff, I'm declaring this a case for my forensics team!"

tumblr_m9t31sX4ER1qgcra2o1_500.gif


As though it were like clockwork, the sound of Monokuma imitating police sirens would be replaced by the distant sound of actual sirens down below, a police car at the front seen stopping at the front entrance.

Stepping out of the car, a man, features somewhat obscured by the hat he was wearing, would give a brief glance to the commotion coming from upstairs. As though grasping the severity of the situation, he would waltz inside, making his way up the stairs of the school until reaching the roof where everyone else would be located, speaking to let himself be known.

"Alright, alright, clear the area! Don't get too close to the body! This is a crime scene and we can't have any risk of contaminating potential evidence," the man said, approaching the scene and pulling out what looked to be a sort of badge.

ff7f13aa31a9409f920d081001313e90.png


"My name is Detective Cole Phelps, and I received an anonymous call that there'd been a murder here," he stated matter-of-factly, introducing himself to the so-called forensics team, "Looks like it wasn't just a prank call after all."

"Though the Upupu laughing and the bear puns sure made it seem like it."

"Please remain calm and just cooperate. Now... You people," Phelps would say, pointing to Kyoko and the rest of the group, "You all don't exactly look like students here, so please state your name and business, miss..."

Ak3rjDe.png


"Kyoko Kirigiri. As for these people, they are my... associates. We're a..." Kyoko cleared her throat, "... forensics team. We happened to be investigating an unrelated death that had occurred here sometime before... before this happened."

"..."

Detective Phelps glanced at Corrin, then at Darv, then at Tharja, then at Poison, then at Wanda, then at Honda, among several others who might have stuck out, and bit his lip, giving Kyoko "the look." For some reason, it didn't seem like he even noticed Monokuma.

TXhQYlZ.png


"... I see," Cole could only say. "Well... In any case, you wouldn't happen to have identification, would you?"

"... Ask Monokuma."

"... I'm sorry, who...?"

ncPKUyW.png


Monokuma cleared his throat.

...

"... I'll take my chances," Cole said upon spotting the little bear, and then diverting his gaze back to Kyoko and the group, "Let's get to work then. What have I got to lose anyway? See me if any one of you find anything worth noting. Even if you think it's so inane, it could be the deciding factor. Alright?"

"I... I will leave this to the investigators." Klim stood to his feet, nervously dusting off his clothing. "I will leave you access to... Miss Caulfield's room. Please excuse me, I need to take care of the students."

And thus, let the investigation begin.

That was certainly a very, very close shave.

"Th- thank you, M- Miss..."



zjnnzrs.jpg

"Well, see you later Max..." Nono smiles as Max walks away. "Morikubo is glad to have met... someone approachable. Then again, she did have a pretty frightening first impression, but I guess she's a good person underneath..."



7zj36mj.webp

"EEEK! Usamin-sensei! We didn't mean to sneak in to the pool, we just-"

Monomi's words suggested otherwise and deviated from Nono's idea that Monomi would be pretty cross. However, Monomi seemed pretty pleased that the crew made a new friend.

"Thank you... Usamin-sensei..."




This can't be happening.

Nono begins to break into tears.

egu6vNM.jpg

"She... who did this to her? What did she do to deserve this? Morikubo doesn't understand... not a bit... not a bit... Morikubo wanted to know more about Max... even though we just knew her for a little over an hour or so..."




And so investigation time began. Nono wondered where to go.

"A rough week she says... if Morikubo were to part from this world after a rough week... she would be worried about..."

That's it!

6FyAgNf.webp

"Kirigiri-san, Kushinada-san, Shimada-san, Zenyetta-dono," Nono brings the four close to her before whispering. "Morikubo... thinks- no... knows where some answers will be hidden...

... Maxine Caulfield's..."

Nono was feeling somewhat jittery.

"... diary..."

Nono jitters as she walks into Max's dormitary room...



GCrFl7e.webp

"Hoo... that was close..." Nono was finally in the room. Using her girl power, she tried to pinpoint the possible locations where Max would hide her diary.

What would she find in the process?

Jack Frost
@Atomyk @Crow @Those Investigateing Max's Room

Another death... This one, of someone that would have been integral to solving this case... What the death of Mark Jefferson just simply a red herring? Or... Was Max truly about to say something, something so integral to solving this mystery, that whoever was behind this, wanted her out of the way? Then again... It could have been like with Neon Katt, a victim of an ultimatum that drove her to do something she would come to regret; the killer didn't have to have a direct motive to end Max's life... The killer could have simply been pushed to do the deed by Monokuma, or someone else.

However, Jack Frost started with the bare bones basics; how Max had come to pass. He headed inside Max's room, trying to identify any clues that might either help them with the case of Mark Jefferson, or the death of Max Caulfield, whether it be telltale signs of a struggle, or even a small sign, some sort of message, a note... Anything...​
 
Continued from here.

Twilight Update
"Out of Desperation"

Max was climbing out of the pool, laughing. Though the mood around the pool had fluctuated, at least Max had felt she had a good time. She climbed out on to the tiled floor, dripping wet, making a run for one of the towels. They were going to leave a huge mess, but frankly, Max couldn't have cared less at the moment. "You guys..." said the girl, giggling and drying her hair. "You guys! I really... have to thank you. I really don't have many friends here, and Tommy, well..." The girl lowered the towel, her face taking on a gloomy expression. "It doesn't matter. I've had... a rough few weeks, so this really helped."

Max began to eagerly put on her clothes, looking ready to get down to business now. She grabbed her camera and cradled it. "You guys wanted to know about Mark Jefferson? I'll tell you everything I know... And I mean everything. It's the least I can do for what you've done. Meet me on the roof of the dorms in, like, fifteen minutes. We'll have it to ourselves."

d1xXMUk.png


Smiling one last time, Max made a break for the exit, though not before turning around and snapping a picture of the scene. It was a memory she wanted to hold on to.

When Max was gone, Monomi came in soon after, somehow showing up seemingly out of nowhere.

XVqjYfb.png


"I'm... so glad everyone managed to have some fun! If you can still maintain hope, then even Monokuma can't stop you! But... are you making sure to find out about the mystery? We wouldn't want him to be mad... Who was that girl, anyway? She said to meet you in fifteen minutes... Monomi will make sure you guys are right on time!"

***

In the dorms, Diana reached out to Stiles to stop him from running off after Tommy, but Jack caused her to pause. She turned to him with her hands raised in a shrug. "How would I know? I don't think we learned anything by coming here. Look, we should get Stiles and--"

A shrill alarm cut through what Diana was saying, echoing through the dormitories. If Diana had to guess, it was the fire alarm. "Go, go!" she yelled over the noise, running back to catch up to Stiles and grab him by the arm. " I don't think I'm even supposed to be in the boy's dorms!"

She escorted Stiles outside, while Mike escorted Jack, Rant, and Yurick. The group fell in with the crowd of students leaving the dormitories. As they exited out on to the front lawn, Diana looked around wildly for Victoria.

"Victoria?!"

As it was the time when both Max and Bullet had told the various groups to meet up, the rest of the students were on their way to the dormitories, only to encounter the crowd waiting outside. "Oh, no... there's so many people!" Monomi held up her hands, trying to make herself look bigger. "Don't lose Monomi!!" The little rabbit started bouncing off students, unnoticed as their attention was pulled upward toward the roof of the dormitories.

Before anyone realized what was happening, someone was dropping from the roof.


The body abruptly stopped twenty feet from the top, suspended in mid-air by a rope tied around their neck. It took only a second for the students below to break out into screams and cries. There was mass panic on the grass as everyone jumped into a flurry of motion. Some students went running, while some cell phones were pulled out to make calls and snap pictures. Not a one had seen such an awful sight in their life, and so soon after the death of a beloved teacher.

"What in the--" Jude had arrived, gravitating toward the people he knew. He pointed up to the roof. "Go! We have to get up there!"

Jude charged, moving fast no matter who was following. He didn't know the area, so he found himself lingering at the dorms common room area, but Victoria was running down the hall to meet him. "What's going on?!" she cried, to which Jude had to explain the grim situation. Without any emotion, Victoria could only point toward the stairs. Jude only took a few steps before he gestured for her to follow, ushering her to lead him.

Victoria led the group up to the top floor, where they ran into the principal running up from the opposite staircase. He nodded to the group before joining them out on the roof, where they found the rope tied around an air-conditioning unit. The principal pulled out a knife to cut the rope, but Jude yelled for him not to do it. "That would be a very bad idea! Pull!"

When the alarms went off Rant tried to sniff around for a fire before Mike came and led the guys out of the dorm. Rant tried to resist, but the crowd of guys flooding out pushed him outside. While out there he overheard a lot of talk and looked up to see a body plummet. The sight made him flinched, but he was used to this. After all he normally set those up, bit that was just if he really was in a pickle. What he was more surprised about was how her head didn't break off. Always confused him that part.

Then someone came in a huff saying they had to go up there. Rant understood Jude's point of view, but knew it was a fruitless endeavor. The body was dead as dead got. He was going to make a smart-ass remark, but Jude took off. Others followed him and Rant was tempted to stay put. Then he looked up at the dead body hanging from the roof and shook his head.

"Sucks." Was all he had to say. The death of a stranger was nothing more. Death wasn't pleasant, but was an end all solution. At least they no longer felt pain.

A police siren went off and an officer stepped out. Rant followed the man to the roof. He spoke and Kyoka was the first to respond. Naturally, Rant raised a brow when reffered to as an associate. He thought he made it pretty clear that none of them had earned his trust or respect, but Kyoka seemed like the logical type so he passed it off as her robotic nature trying to keep their secret.

That principal is sketchy.

"Well, we've checked all the other areas. Let's check the body."

Rant walked over and investigated the body of Max.

Shuten-Douji and Nigel had been hanging with Jude and arrived with him to see the entire thing. "It appears that death follows our every turn. Imagine that." Shuten-Douji replied as they pulled up the body to the roof.

"Fucking hell..." Nigel cursed. Even if he had sworn off death it was quite clear that death wasn't finished with him just yet.

Poison meanwhile did not seem like a happy camper. "Son of a bitch!" The fact that the girl had seemed so cheerful after their little escapade in the pool and Max's promise to reveal information for the group. Even Poison knew something shady was going on. "We don't believe for a second that the girl offed herself, right? Someone did this...I know it."

Rant stopped what he was doing for a moment and turned to her. "No and it's probably the same killer who offed Mark, but nice of you to see the obvious." Rant said with a smile before continuing his search on Max.

"Oh the little kitty got some claws on her." Poison replied with a chuckle. "It's not my fault you're being scared about some man stealing. That's more on you than on me."



The water splashing wasn't really to her liking, but she laughed all the same. "All these insecure ladies around me! Man...it's like they're afraid of little ol' me?"

"What can I say? You are a wrestler."

"Is that so..." Honda shrugged. Well, no point in skipping out on some good relaxation!!"

He took a few steps back, far as he could, before running and jumping into the pool.

"CANNONBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Wanda block the water with her hands, the waves the man created did push 6the witch to side of the pool.

Twilight Update
"Out of Desperation"

Max was climbing out of the pool, laughing. Though the mood around the pool had fluctuated, at least Max had felt she had a good time. She climbed out on to the tiled floor, dripping wet, making a run for one of the towels. They were going to leave a huge mess, but frankly, Max couldn't have cared less at the moment. "You guys..." said the girl, giggling and drying her hair. "You guys! I really... have to thank you. I really don't have many friends here, and Tommy, well..." The girl lowered the towel, her face taking on a gloomy expression. "It doesn't matter. I've had... a rough few weeks, so this really helped."

Max began to eagerly put on her clothes, looking ready to get down to business now. She grabbed her camera and cradled it. "You guys wanted to know about Mark Jefferson? I'll tell you everything I know... And I mean everything. It's the least I can do for what you've done. Meet me on the roof of the dorms in, like, fifteen minutes. We'll have it to ourselves."

d1xXMUk.png


Smiling one last time, Max made a break for the exit, though not before turning around and snapping a picture of the scene. It was a memory she wanted to hold on to.

When Max was gone, Monomi came in soon after, somehow showing up seemingly out of nowhere.

XVqjYfb.png


"I'm... so glad everyone managed to have some fun! If you can still maintain hope, then even Monokuma can't stop you! But... are you making sure to find out about the mystery? We wouldn't want him to be mad... Who was that girl, anyway? She said to meet you in fifteen minutes... Monomi will make sure you guys are right on time!"

***

In the dorms, Diana reached out to Stiles to stop him from running off after Tommy, but Jack caused her to pause. She turned to him with her hands raised in a shrug. "How would I know? I don't think we learned anything by coming here. Look, we should get Stiles and--"

A shrill alarm cut through what Diana was saying, echoing through the dormitories. If Diana had to guess, it was the fire alarm. "Go, go!" she yelled over the noise, running back to catch up to Stiles and grab him by the arm. " I don't think I'm even supposed to be in the boy's dorms!"

She escorted Stiles outside, while Mike escorted Jack, Rant, and Yurick. The group fell in with the crowd of students leaving the dormitories. As they exited out on to the front lawn, Diana looked around wildly for Victoria.

"Victoria?!"

As it was the time when both Max and Bullet had told the various groups to meet up, the rest of the students were on their way to the dormitories, only to encounter the crowd waiting outside. "Oh, no... there's so many people!" Monomi held up her hands, trying to make herself look bigger. "Don't lose Monomi!!" The little rabbit started bouncing off students, unnoticed as their attention was pulled upward toward the roof of the dormitories.

Before anyone realized what was happening, someone was dropping from the roof.


The body abruptly stopped twenty feet from the top, suspended in mid-air by a rope tied around their neck. It took only a second for the students below to break out into screams and cries. There was mass panic on the grass as everyone jumped into a flurry of motion. Some students went running, while some cell phones were pulled out to make calls and snap pictures. Not a one had seen such an awful sight in their life, and so soon after the death of a beloved teacher.

"What in the--" Jude had arrived, gravitating toward the people he knew. He pointed up to the roof. "Go! We have to get up there!"

Jude charged, moving fast no matter who was following. He didn't know the area, so he found himself lingering at the dorms common room area, but Victoria was running down the hall to meet him. "What's going on?!" she cried, to which Jude had to explain the grim situation. Without any emotion, Victoria could only point toward the stairs. Jude only took a few steps before he gestured for her to follow, ushering her to lead him.

Victoria led the group up to the top floor, where they ran into the principal running up from the opposite staircase. He nodded to the group before joining them out on the roof, where they found the rope tied around an air-conditioning unit. The principal pulled out a knife to cut the rope, but Jude yelled for him not to do it. "That would be a very bad idea! Pull!"

It wasn't long before the body was pulled up to the roof, then revealed to be Maxine Caulfield.

a1dbJSW.png


Victoria shrank away from the body, shuddering in horror. "Max?! N-No! Max, no! Oh my god, no!" Victoria backed up into a wall, where her legs gave out on her and she slid to the ground. Her body shook, wracked with sobs.

"The rope, the fall... her neck was snapped. I'm surprised she... This... c-could have been much worse."

5G3rcSw.png


"...!"

Kyoko also let out a small gasp, having to cover her mouth upon practically instinct like perhaps some of the other people around were doing. Damn, that girl was probably their best chance at getting the information regarding the teacher's death... But of course, most importantly, another life was unfortunately extinguished. A young one, a girl so full of life and energy.

Unforgivable. She could almost feel her heart clench as tightly as her fist, but she had to keep a cool head no matter what. She couldn't afford to look weak, to look vulnerable.

Principal Klim was at a loss for words. "What do I do...?"

"I know!"

dJXdWIc.png


Monokuma was on the scene, holding his stubby arms in the air. "This is a body discovery! A crime scene!" Monokuma imitated a noise that sounded like police sirens. "As the town sheriff, I'm declaring this a case for my forensics team!"

tumblr_m9t31sX4ER1qgcra2o1_500.gif


As though it were like clockwork, the sound of Monokuma imitating police sirens would be replaced by the distant sound of actual sirens down below, a police car at the front seen stopping at the front entrance.

Stepping out of the car, a man, features somewhat obscured by the hat he was wearing, would give a brief glance to the commotion coming from upstairs. As though grasping the severity of the situation, he would waltz inside, making his way up the stairs of the school until reaching the roof where everyone else would be located, speaking to let himself be known.

"Alright, alright, clear the area! Don't get too close to the body! This is a crime scene and we can't have any risk of contaminating potential evidence," the man said, approaching the scene and pulling out what looked to be a sort of badge.

ff7f13aa31a9409f920d081001313e90.png


"My name is Detective Cole Phelps, and I received an anonymous call that there'd been a murder here," he stated matter-of-factly, introducing himself to the so-called forensics team, "Looks like it wasn't just a prank call after all."

"Though the Upupu laughing and the bear puns sure made it seem like it."

"Please remain calm and just cooperate. Now... You people," Phelps would say, pointing to Kyoko and the rest of the group, "You all don't exactly look like students here, so please state your name and business, miss..."

Ak3rjDe.png


"Kyoko Kirigiri. As for these people, they are my... associates. We're a..." Kyoko cleared her throat, "... forensics team. We happened to be investigating an unrelated death that had occurred here sometime before... before this happened."

"..."

Detective Phelps glanced at Corrin, then at Darv, then at Tharja, then at Poison, then at Wanda, then at Honda, among several others who might have stuck out, and bit his lip, giving Kyoko "the look." For some reason, it didn't seem like he even noticed Monokuma.

TXhQYlZ.png


"... I see," Cole could only say. "Well... In any case, you wouldn't happen to have identification, would you?"

"... Ask Monokuma."

"... I'm sorry, who...?"

ncPKUyW.png


Monokuma cleared his throat.

...

"... I'll take my chances," Cole said upon spotting the little bear, and then diverting his gaze back to Kyoko and the group, "Let's get to work then. What have I got to lose anyway? See me if any one of you find anything worth noting. Even if you think it's so inane, it could be the deciding factor. Alright?"

"I... I will leave this to the investigators." Klim stood to his feet, nervously dusting off his clothing. "I will leave you access to... Miss Caulfield's room. Please excuse me, I need to take care of the students."

And thus, let the investigation begin.

In Honda's mind, these events, they would trigger a memory......

Last night, Honda had a dream.

"Through the darkness of futures past, the magician longs to see, one chants out between two worlds... Fire... Walk With Me."

Honda's dream started. He was seated in a comfortable chair in a red room. Across from him, on a couch, is Diana and Wanda. They were seated, happy and smiling. In the corner by a pool, a small man stood facing the wall. For a minute, it's quiet. Soon, the little man turned to Honda. Wanda smiled and touched her nose.

HiPxPky.png


"Let's rock!"

The man, to Honda's hearing, seemed to be speaking both backwards and forwards. However, Honda, for some reason, could make it out perfectly. As Wanda and Diana sat across from the Sumo, the little man moved close to him.

"I have good news! The makers of that Nabe you like? From your favorite place? Don't worry! They won't go out of business! I know that's been troubling you, my friend!"

Wanda and Diane clapped together in union. The small man then asked Honda a question.

"They look Like Wanda and Diana, don't they?"

Honda took a second to look at the two girls, then back to the small man, confused. "They don't just look like them, those two ARE Wanda and Diana!" He studied the two girls. "Aren't you?!"

Diana spoke first, her smile shining like sun on a cloudy day.

"I feel like I know her. But sometimes my arms are bent back."

Wanda nodded, adding her story.

"I've been Wanda, but i'm not now. I am the Wanda when she can't be Wanda. I am more than happy to be!"

The little man turned to Honda.

"They are filled with secrets. Where we're from the birds sing a pretty song. And there's always music in the air."

Soft Jazz music played as the little man got up and danced.

Diana joined him. As the two danced joyfully, Wanda walked over to Honda. Sitting on his lap, Wanda embraced him with a kiss. Pausing as their lips parted, Wanda gazed at the Sumo.

"Do you want to dance? We can salsa. If so, do you know why? Or why not?"

As Wanda kissed him, Honda stared at her blankly, unsure of whether or not he wanted to dance, the kiss having taken him aback quite a bit. "...I don't..know." What the hell was going on, anyway?!

"You know, you need to know. There's never a time not to know!"

Wanda stood up, dancing in front of him.

"Understand soon you will be running with better men! You'll be born again!"

Diana would add, still dancing, "and we'll be alone again."

"It's no use looking out, it's within that brings our lonely feelings. When you leave here, you'll be clear. But will we?"

Honda shifted uncomfortably in his seat. "None of what you're saying makes sense!! I don't wanna dance, this is weird!!"

"What is wrong? Are you not enjoying my cousins? DO you not like their dancing?" the little man asked.

Wanda looked at him. "We have to go anyway. We'll do this again?"

"HAH!!!" Honda woke up, in a cold sweat. What the hell had that dream been, anyway?! Putting a hand to his head he was about to make sense of it but suddenly--

COME TO THE VISITOR'S CENTER FOR A BIIIG ANNOUNCEMENT! HAVE A NICE DAY EVERYONE!!!


........................................................................................................................................

A deep sense of sadness filled Wanda.

"At least we gave her a good time, before she left. Now we must find her killer."

Jack returned her endearing smile with one of his own, glad to see the joy emerging once again in her eyes. However, before he could respond to her request, she had already splashed him and was on his back, climbing up to get the advantage on him. He began to laugh as she tickled him, though mostly because of the absurdity of the situation. Without a moment's hesitation, he began to splash water up towards her, trying to distract her as his hand worked to loosen her arm that had coiled around him, "Not for long, Zinnia!"

sYVmavO.png


When Jack began to splash water on her, Zinnia felt herself start to slip. She had to grip onto him harder to stay atop his back--especially with him working to loosen her arm. "I... won't... give up!" she exclaimed, attempting to tickle his sides with her free hand once more. She wasn't sure if it was actually doing anything to him or not, but it was still satisfying to know she was doing something to him. Still, he was to strong and muscular it was difficult to do much of anything. It was a miracle that she hung on as long as she did.

But when she finally did fall off, it was because of something she heard in the background rather than because of something Jack did...
"Oh the little kitty got some claws on her." Poison replied with a chuckle. "It's not my fault you're being scared about some man stealing. That's more on you than on me."



The water splashing wasn't really to her liking, but she laughed all the same. "All these insecure ladies around me! Man...it's like they're afraid of little ol' me?"

@Atomyk @The Tactician @BarrenThin @Verite @Josh M @Jeremi @CrunchyCHEEZIT @DBZ7 @Kaykay @Chewy Rabbits @Klutzy Ninja Kitty

RSFSlN1.png

"What!?" Zinnia exclaimed after hearing Poison's words, distracted long enough to lose her grip and entirely fall off Jack's back. She plummeted into the water, going so far down that her head actually brushed the bottom of the pool. By the time she made it back to the surface, she was so wet that her bandages from the other day were loosely hanging from around her neck. She tried to remove them, grumbling as she did.

I'm not scared about her stealing Jack! And I'm not insecure! It's not like Jack would let her steal him anyhow. And... I don't even have a right to get jealous. It's not like we're together right now. B-But what if someone did take him away for some reason? I doubt he's interested in Poison, but what if a nicer girl shows up? Ah, why am I even worried about these things anyhow!?

After a moment, Zinnia simply splashed a giant wave in Poison's direction, sticking her tongue out at the woman. "That's for saying weird things and bothering Jack!"
Continued from here.

"Out of Desperation"

Max was climbing out of the pool, laughing. Though the mood around the pool had fluctuated, at least Max had felt she had a good time.

And so, they continued to play in the pool, promising Max they would meet her in 15 minutes when they were all finished. Zinnia may have been just a bit late herself because of how much fun she was having, but after a while she climbed out and shook herself off like a dog--getting dressed without caring she might get her clothes wet. She went up to the roof with the others, shocked after seeing what had happened.

"That's-- She's the girl who asked us to go swimming with her. The girl who was going to... tell us about Mr. Jefferson." Zinnia frowned, clenching her fists at her sides.

If only we had been just a little faster, maybe we would've made it up here to stop this from happening. Darn it. She really must have known something big about him if she was killed just after promising to give us that information.

Zinnia walked over to Jude after a moment, glancing to him. "It's not something I usually do, but I wan't to say... th-thanks... for saving me the other day. It's a shame that we're meeting again in the presence of another murder." Zinnia paused to shake her head. "Can you find out for sure if her neck breaking was the cause of her death?"
Shuten-Douji and Nigel had been hanging with Jude and arrived with him to see the entire thing. "It appears that death follows our every turn. Imagine that." Shuten-Douji replied as they pulled up the body to the roof.

"Fucking hell..." Nigel cursed. Even if he had sworn off death it was quite clear that death wasn't finished with him just yet.

Poison meanwhile did not seem like a happy camper. "Son of a bitch!" The fact that the girl had seemed so cheerful after their little escapade in the pool and Max's promise to reveal information for the group. Even Poison knew something shady was going on. "We don't believe for a second that the girl offed herself, right? Someone did this...I know it."

Zinnia glanced toward Poison with a nod. "I agree. It's too much of a coincidence that she died right after telling us she was going to share that information about Mr. Jefferson. We should all head over to Max's dorm room and check this out."

A deep sense of sadness filled Wanda.

"At least we gave her a good time, before she left. Now we must find her killer."


x9z653E.png

Zinnia walked over to Wanda, placing a hand on her shoulder. "Hey, we'll find the killer. Max was good to us. It's the least we can do for her."

"Why don't you take your own advice. I don't need it from idiots like you." Rant said not even bothering to face him again.

When Jack began to splash water on her, Zinnia felt herself start to slip. She had to grip onto him harder to stay atop his back--especially with him working to loosen her arm. "I... won't... give up!" she exclaimed, attempting to tickle his sides with her free hand once more. She wasn't sure if it was actually doing anything to him or not, but it was still satisfying to know she was doing something to him. Still, he was to strong and muscular it was difficult to do much of anything. It was a miracle that she hung on as long as she did.

But when she finally did fall off, it was because of something she heard in the background rather than because of something Jack did...


RSFSlN1.png

"What!?" Zinnia exclaimed after hearing Poison's words, distracted long enough to lose her grip and entirely fall off Jack's back. She plummeted into the water, going so far down that her head actually brushed the bottom of the pool. By the time she made it back to the surface, she was so wet that her bandages from the other day were loosely hanging from around her neck. She tried to remove them, grumbling as she did.

I'm not scared about her stealing Jack! And I'm not insecure! It's not like Jack would let her steal him anyhow. And... I don't even have a right to get jealous. It's not like we're together right now. B-But what if someone did take him away for some reason? I doubt he's interested in Poison, but what if a nicer girl shows up? Ah, why am I even worried about these things anyhow!?

After a moment, Zinnia simply splashed a giant wave in Poison's direction, sticking her tongue out at the woman. "That's for saying weird things and bothering Jack!"



And so, they continued to play in the pool, promising Max they would meet her in 15 minutes when they were all finished. Zinnia may have been just a bit late herself because of how much fun she was having, but after a while she climbed out and shook herself off like a dog--getting dressed without caring she might get her clothes wet.

Continued from here.

Twilight Update
"Out of Desperation"

Max was climbing out of the pool, laughing. Though the mood around the pool had fluctuated, at least Max had felt she had a good time. She climbed out on to the tiled floor, dripping wet, making a run for one of the towels. They were going to leave a huge mess, but frankly, Max couldn't have cared less at the moment. "You guys..." said the girl, giggling and drying her hair. "You guys! I really... have to thank you. I really don't have many friends here, and Tommy, well..." The girl lowered the towel, her face taking on a gloomy expression. "It doesn't matter. I've had... a rough few weeks, so this really helped."

Max began to eagerly put on her clothes, looking ready to get down to business now. She grabbed her camera and cradled it. "You guys wanted to know about Mark Jefferson? I'll tell you everything I know... And I mean everything. It's the least I can do for what you've done. Meet me on the roof of the dorms in, like, fifteen minutes. We'll have it to ourselves."

d1xXMUk.png


Smiling one last time, Max made a break for the exit, though not before turning around and snapping a picture of the scene. It was a memory she wanted to hold on to.

When Max was gone, Monomi came in soon after, somehow showing up seemingly out of nowhere.

XVqjYfb.png


"I'm... so glad everyone managed to have some fun! If you can still maintain hope, then even Monokuma can't stop you! But... are you making sure to find out about the mystery? We wouldn't want him to be mad... Who was that girl, anyway? She said to meet you in fifteen minutes... Monomi will make sure you guys are right on time!"

***

In the dorms, Diana reached out to Stiles to stop him from running off after Tommy, but Jack caused her to pause. She turned to him with her hands raised in a shrug. "How would I know? I don't think we learned anything by coming here. Look, we should get Stiles and--"

A shrill alarm cut through what Diana was saying, echoing through the dormitories. If Diana had to guess, it was the fire alarm. "Go, go!" she yelled over the noise, running back to catch up to Stiles and grab him by the arm. " I don't think I'm even supposed to be in the boy's dorms!"

She escorted Stiles outside, while Mike escorted Jack, Rant, and Yurick. The group fell in with the crowd of students leaving the dormitories. As they exited out on to the front lawn, Diana looked around wildly for Victoria.

"Victoria?!"

As it was the time when both Max and Bullet had told the various groups to meet up, the rest of the students were on their way to the dormitories, only to encounter the crowd waiting outside. "Oh, no... there's so many people!" Monomi held up her hands, trying to make herself look bigger. "Don't lose Monomi!!" The little rabbit started bouncing off students, unnoticed as their attention was pulled upward toward the roof of the dormitories.

Before anyone realized what was happening, someone was dropping from the roof.


The body abruptly stopped twenty feet from the top, suspended in mid-air by a rope tied around their neck. It took only a second for the students below to break out into screams and cries. There was mass panic on the grass as everyone jumped into a flurry of motion. Some students went running, while some cell phones were pulled out to make calls and snap pictures. Not a one had seen such an awful sight in their life, and so soon after the death of a beloved teacher.

"What in the--" Jude had arrived, gravitating toward the people he knew. He pointed up to the roof. "Go! We have to get up there!"

Jude charged, moving fast no matter who was following. He didn't know the area, so he found himself lingering at the dorms common room area, but Victoria was running down the hall to meet him. "What's going on?!" she cried, to which Jude had to explain the grim situation. Without any emotion, Victoria could only point toward the stairs. Jude only took a few steps before he gestured for her to follow, ushering her to lead him.

Victoria led the group up to the top floor, where they ran into the principal running up from the opposite staircase. He nodded to the group before joining them out on the roof, where they found the rope tied around an air-conditioning unit. The principal pulled out a knife to cut the rope, but Jude yelled for him not to do it. "That would be a very bad idea! Pull!"

It wasn't long before the body was pulled up to the roof, then revealed to be Maxine Caulfield.

a1dbJSW.png


Victoria shrank away from the body, shuddering in horror. "Max?! N-No! Max, no! Oh my god, no!" Victoria backed up into a wall, where her legs gave out on her and she slid to the ground. Her body shook, wracked with sobs.

"The rope, the fall... her neck was snapped. I'm surprised she... This... c-could have been much worse."

5G3rcSw.png


"...!"

Kyoko also let out a small gasp, having to cover her mouth upon practically instinct like perhaps some of the other people around were doing. Damn, that girl was probably their best chance at getting the information regarding the teacher's death... But of course, most importantly, another life was unfortunately extinguished. A young one, a girl so full of life and energy.

Unforgivable. She could almost feel her heart clench as tightly as her fist, but she had to keep a cool head no matter what. She couldn't afford to look weak, to look vulnerable.

Principal Klim was at a loss for words. "What do I do...?"

"I know!"

dJXdWIc.png


Monokuma was on the scene, holding his stubby arms in the air. "This is a body discovery! A crime scene!" Monokuma imitated a noise that sounded like police sirens. "As the town sheriff, I'm declaring this a case for my forensics team!"

tumblr_m9t31sX4ER1qgcra2o1_500.gif


As though it were like clockwork, the sound of Monokuma imitating police sirens would be replaced by the distant sound of actual sirens down below, a police car at the front seen stopping at the front entrance.

Stepping out of the car, a man, features somewhat obscured by the hat he was wearing, would give a brief glance to the commotion coming from upstairs. As though grasping the severity of the situation, he would waltz inside, making his way up the stairs of the school until reaching the roof where everyone else would be located, speaking to let himself be known.

"Alright, alright, clear the area! Don't get too close to the body! This is a crime scene and we can't have any risk of contaminating potential evidence," the man said, approaching the scene and pulling out what looked to be a sort of badge.

ff7f13aa31a9409f920d081001313e90.png


"My name is Detective Cole Phelps, and I received an anonymous call that there'd been a murder here," he stated matter-of-factly, introducing himself to the so-called forensics team, "Looks like it wasn't just a prank call after all."

"Though the Upupu laughing and the bear puns sure made it seem like it."

"Please remain calm and just cooperate. Now... You people," Phelps would say, pointing to Kyoko and the rest of the group, "You all don't exactly look like students here, so please state your name and business, miss..."

Ak3rjDe.png


"Kyoko Kirigiri. As for these people, they are my... associates. We're a..." Kyoko cleared her throat, "... forensics team. We happened to be investigating an unrelated death that had occurred here sometime before... before this happened."

"..."

Detective Phelps glanced at Corrin, then at Darv, then at Tharja, then at Poison, then at Wanda, then at Honda, among several others who might have stuck out, and bit his lip, giving Kyoko "the look." For some reason, it didn't seem like he even noticed Monokuma.

TXhQYlZ.png


"... I see," Cole could only say. "Well... In any case, you wouldn't happen to have identification, would you?"

"... Ask Monokuma."

"... I'm sorry, who...?"

ncPKUyW.png


Monokuma cleared his throat.

...

"... I'll take my chances," Cole said upon spotting the little bear, and then diverting his gaze back to Kyoko and the group, "Let's get to work then. What have I got to lose anyway? See me if any one of you find anything worth noting. Even if you think it's so inane, it could be the deciding factor. Alright?"

"I... I will leave this to the investigators." Klim stood to his feet, nervously dusting off his clothing. "I will leave you access to... Miss Caulfield's room. Please excuse me, I need to take care of the students."

And thus, let the investigation begin.

Genji never got to swim. Getting ready took too long, and everyone was leaving. A loud hissing noise came from the locker room as parts were put back on. He was just glad they'd had a positive impact on the girl's state of mind. Then, he had something of a reality check. This whole thing was still about death... He'd just thought Mark's death was it. A cybernetic fist clenched in disgusT. This was only getting worse as time went on.

He turned to Morikubo as she whispered to them, then nodded and joined her on the way to Max's room.

Zinnia nodded. "Yes. She took us swimming, and then asked us to meet her on the roof in fifteen minutes so she could tell us about the teacher. I just didn't think she'd--" The lorekeeper cut herself off, glancing toward Max's body with a frown.

"What can I say? You are a wrestler."


Wanda block the water with her hands, the waves the man created did push 6the witch to side of the pool.

In Honda's mind, these events, they would trigger a memory......

Last night, Honda had a dream.

"Through the darkness of futures past, the magician longs to see, one chants out between two worlds... Fire... Walk With Me."

Honda's dream started. He was seated in a comfortable chair in a red room. Across from him, on a couch, is Diana and Wanda. They were seated, happy and smiling. In the corner by a pool, a small man stood facing the wall. For a minute, it's quiet. Soon, the little man turned to Honda. Wanda smiled and touched her nose.

HiPxPky.png


"Let's rock!"

The man, to Honda's hearing, seemed to be speaking both backwards and forwards. However, Honda, for some reason, could make it out perfectly. As Wanda and Diana sat across from the Sumo, the little man moved close to him.

"I have good news! The makers of that Nabe you like? From your favorite place? Don't worry! They won't go out of business! I know that's been troubling you, my friend!"

Wanda and Diane clapped together in union. The small man then asked Honda a question.

"They look Like Wanda and Diana, don't they?"

Honda took a second to look at the two girls, then back to the small man, confused. "They don't just look like them, those two ARE Wanda and Diana!" He studied the two girls. "Aren't you?!"

Diana spoke first, her smile shining like sun on a cloudy day.

"I feel like I know her. But sometimes my arms are bent back."

Wanda nodded, adding her story.

"I've been Wanda, but i'm not now. I am the Wanda when she can't be Wanda. I am more than happy to be!"

The little man turned to Honda.

"They are filled with secrets. Where we're from the birds sing a pretty song. And there's always music in the air."

Soft Jazz music played as the little man got up and danced.

Diana joined him. As the two danced joyfully, Wanda walked over to Honda. Sitting on his lap, Wanda embraced him with a kiss. Pausing as their lips parted, Wanda gazed at the Sumo.

"Do you want to dance? We can salsa. If so, do you know why? Or why not?"

As Wanda kissed him, Honda stared at her blankly, unsure of whether or not he wanted to dance, the kiss having taken him aback quite a bit. "...I don't..know." What the hell was going on, anyway?!

"You know, you need to know. There's never a time not to know!"

Wanda stood up, dancing in front of him.

"Understand soon you will be running with better men! You'll be born again!"

Diana would add, still dancing, "and we'll be alone again."

"It's no use looking out, it's within that brings our lonely feelings. When you leave here, you'll be clear. But will we?"

Honda shifted uncomfortably in his seat. "None of what you're saying makes sense!! I don't wanna dance, this is weird!!"

"What is wrong? Are you not enjoying my cousins? DO you not like their dancing?" the little man asked.

Wanda looked at him. "We have to go anyway. We'll do this again?"

"HAH!!!" Honda woke up, in a cold sweat. What the hell had that dream been, anyway?! Putting a hand to his head he was about to make sense of it but suddenly--

COME TO THE VISITOR'S CENTER FOR A BIIIG ANNOUNCEMENT! HAVE A NICE DAY EVERYONE!!!

A deep sense of sadness filled Wanda.

"At least we gave her a good time, before she left. Now we must find her killer."

Even his big splash in the pool was miniscule compared to what befell the group next. Another murder...and this time with a young girl who was one of Jefferson's students! And with her about to reveal information about him, it was too obvious that someone wanted her quiet.

However, suddenly a surreal dream Honda had last night came back to him, and he groaned. Everything that happened today...the reveal of the Darkness, the two murders, and now that dream...it was too much!

Especially considering what, uh...transpired between him and Wanda at one point in the dream.

Overhearing Wanda's comment, Honda coughed awkwardly. "Er..yeah! I'll go investigate the roof!!" First, however, he would put a hand on Bolin's shoulder. "Remember what I told you. Stay. Strong."

Zinnia nodded. "Yes. She took us swimming, and then asked us to meet her on the roof in fifteen minutes so she could tell us about the teacher. I just didn't think she'd--" The lorekeeper cut herself off, glancing toward Max's body with a frown.

"The killer was obviously tying up loose ends. He had to overhear or been apart of your discussion with Max. A random killer is out of the picture now." Rant stated as he then scratched his head. "Man, this itch is a bother. Anyway, now that the pool is accessible thanks to you officers breaking in I'll head in that direction soon. If I can find a possible peep hole I could figure out where our killer started at."

@Roof.
 
"Shut the fuck up"

Turning to Corrin, Darv clears his throat "Should I fetch your armour, or would you rather gather it yourself?"

@Minerva
@ShiroKiyoshi
Corrin realized that no, she hadn't changed yet. In all the excitement and chaos of the murder, she has forgotten to grab her armor. She covered herself with a towel That mysteriously was there. She brought with her.

"Y-yes please, Darv. And shouldn't we get to our meeting? I don't know how much time has passed since Bullet told us to meet her..."
