"Oh! Sure! It's this way..." Yulia said, leading Bell to a hollowed out tree; it looked like she had managed to create a quite comfortable sleeping space there, and... Despite how small it was, tehre was, just barely, room for two.
Round 2
Day 2
@DapperDogman
Bell, whether or not he decided to sleep with Yulia, the strange cat-girl (and not in THAT way o.o), he would find himself waking up in Cabin 1 this morning, and what's more is, he hand an half-empty cup of sugar in his hand.
@OrlandoBloomers
Shiki, would wake up in Cabin 22, not remembering how she got there... However, a few bugs crawling on the floor may lead to some answers; after all, cabin 23 just happened to be occupied by the two camp pranksters (and troublemakers)...
@Everyone
Whether everyone was hanging out in the canteen, or, going about their own business, they all found themselves waking up in their designated cabins, or, if they hadn't actually picked one yet, fallen straight asleep on the ground somewhere.
The sound of a bell however, summoned everyone, regardless of where they were to the square; it looked like Olga had her mind set on what to do.
"Today, we vote on who we suspect the killer was..." Olga began, she looked a bit more refreshed today now that she had a good night's sleep, she hesitated a little before speaking again "We'll... Search the person with the most votes for any suspicious items... And lock them in the admin-building for the night... Just to be safe." she said, it seemed there was nothing that could change her mind about this decision. Though, one thing was for sure; if there were any killers around, there would be something on them at the very least, that would link to their dark deeds. "Remember... Pioneers, stay safe; there are a few amongst you who will look into the suspects; we'll announce any usefull results from the speakers." Olga said, she paused for one last moment before she spoke "Anyways... That concludes our line-up for today! You're all dmismissed, Pioneers!".
It looks like everyone is free to roam around once more; there were various locations open on the map.
Note on area names on the map:

Just as Gaara was about to engage Beowulf in how he had his own 'time' as it were, Asakura was raining down the food. His eyes widening, Beowulf knew what he had to do. Quickly gulping down what remained of his waffle, Beowulf gripped one of the nearby tables and with a mighty yell he'd hold the table up over not only his head but Gaara and Karol's as well. "If you ever needed proof that along with being an awesome wrestler, I'm also a genius? Well, look no further boys! With just a little simple ingenuity and some raw muscle, you can make a stellar combination! Now normally I'd be content to just let things as they are. But one doesn't just simply start a rain consisting solely of food without expecting some retribution."
Gaara who was growing quite frustrated with the food being tossed around like playthings blinked at Beowulf's statement. But then it hit him what the Wulf was getting at. There was still some food sitting on the table that Beowulf had picked up and used as an impromptu shield against Asakura's downpour of food. "I think everyone in here has had their fill of food being flung around. Perhaps you could just leave it at that."
"..Heh. That would be the easy way wouldn't it? But it'd also be the more exciting way. Everything's been so bundled up in serious business jargon and that's not something I've ever been able to really mesh with. Wrestling was always about having fun at the end of the day or settling a match between two evenly set opponents like me and Grendel. What I'm about to do next is just another way to try and bring some lightness back to this ho-hum time we've been having as of late."
"..That was surprisingly introspective and considerate of you, Beowulf. I'm actually quite surprised."
"Yep! Now, watch as I bring down even more food than that girl did!"
"..Beowulf, don't! You're just going to make a mess!"
"TOO LATE! WULFMANIA'S ON THE LOOSE, BROTHER! HGRAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!"
With that, Beowulf began to spin the table currently in his possession around and around sending all of the food on it flying off and around the canteen. Staying as close to Beowulf as possible so as to try and avoid becoming a casualty in this food tornado, Gaara watched in disbelief that this man could be serious for one moment but then have a complete tonal shift the next.

A moment of silence hung over the scene as Shiki concluded her examination. The tension was palpable, her thoughts as difficult to discern based off her body language and facial features as always, her mouth slightly scrunched to one side while she contemplated...
Then she released Ruby's cloak, looking gloomy as she spoke again, tone less authoritative. For the first time since arriving at the camp, she seemed... apologetic. Somewhat. Though still gruff.
"Sorry. I made a mistake."
She had no problem admitting that, if it was true. Maybe she really was just a child after all.
That didn't stop her from grouching a moment later, though. "...Hey, I apologized. You should share your sweets with me as a token of truce, right?"
:|
***
Whether she got any or not, she returned to their table a few moments later, looking... completely unfazed by what had just happened, really. Her head wasn't that big. People made wrong calls all the time, this was no different.
The only acknowledgement she gave towards that development was a brief glance in Blake's direction, her head tilted like a cat and looking nonplussed as she gave a brief, annoyed remark, her very much trained eye having noticed the ninja's posture during their exchange.
"What's that look for? You'll give yourself a conniption, kitten. You don't have to breathe down my neck every time I look into something. I know you don't trust me, but I have no reason to hurt anyone even if I do incriminate somebody; I'll probably just make a fuss, or something like that."
She huffed, a little grouchy that she was being held in such a suspicious light by two people she was ostensibly supposed to be allying with; Orie's comment about being wary of leaving her to her own devices hadn't gone unnoticed either.
"My eyes perceive the lines that govern the death of all things; not just humans, but the trees, stone, even air. It's natural to have an end if it has a beginning. Beginning and end are merely two sides of the same coin; sever one, and you sever the other. Death is not an occurrence of happenstance, it just is... nobody understands that better than me, its proxy. If death rides a pale horse, I am the horse."
It almost looked like she was... venting. Philosophically.
"No one understands the importance of death the way I do. Sometimes, I don't even feel as though I'm truly alive... like I'm a pair of magic eyes, controlling the corpse of a girl who died years ago. My sole purpose in life comes through killing, and I kill only when I have purpose."
She smirked bitterly.
"Senseless killings of people who've done nothing aren't a purpose. They're an atrocity. If I think it's necessary, I'll kill someone; but I don't hurt people on a whim. To do so would be to trivialize death as a whole, and sacrifice what humanity I've regained in atonement for things I did years ago... or... things my memories tell me I did years ago. I regret them, and while wrongdoing can never be erased in full... blood can be painted over by the lives I help preserve now. I... don't want anyone else to die."
She summed up her ramblings succinctly with that final statement, sighing as she closed her eyes and crossed both arms. Her breakfast remained on the table, untouched. She lost her appetite.
"... I guess, what I'm asking... is that you both pull your heads out of your backsides and stop treating me like a bomb that's gonna go off soon," she added sarcastically, her playful wit creeping back into her tone. "Keep me at arm's length, if you want, but have a little faith. This partnership won't work otherwise. If I wanted either of you dead, you already would be. There's nothing stopping me... unless you count your sword-that's-not-a-sword-because-it-has-a-sheath, cat girl."
She gave a morbid, throaty giggle at that, falling silent for a moment.
"...Tch... not the most pleasant topic over the breakfast table, huh? Sorry. I'll do my best to watch over your friend in the red dress. Even if she acts like a cartoon character."
"What the hell are you doing, still following me around?!"
She pouted and puffed her chest up in mock annoyance, but in truth, she didn't really mind. It was only natural for someone as meek as Tsukimi seemed to want a guardian. Shiki hated playing babysitter, but... well, if she had to, she could tolerate her presence. Maybe.
@Jeremi @Schnee Corp Lawyer @york @CCC Kouhai @canteen
By the time Shiki had gotten to the table, it was a far less on edge faunus watching her return. Blake's shoulders had sagged from their tense posture, slumped forward as if the coiled spring she'd been moments earlier had suddenly lost all its bounce. If anything, her own gaze was apologetic by the time Shiki had sat back down, and she was on the verge saying something until Shiki herself suddenly spoke up.
She winced slightly at the first part. On point as it was.
But her demeanor slowly shifted from guilty to, well, still guilty, also with a tepid mix of horrified, fascinated, and...
Pity wasn't really the right term. Shiki still had that aura of lethal indifference about her that had Blake on edge from the start, and it sort of forbade such feelings from applying to the mystic eyes user. Its close cousin empathy was there though, Blake not sure she'd ever be able to sympathize with having an ability like that, but...
She picked at her food a moment, not able to meet anyone's gaze and idly wondering if this was what Weiss felt like after that little 'faunus are criminals' debacle of an argument. Finally she huffed.
"...Sorry. About the Ruby thing, not... I don't think I'm really qualified to apologize or even consider what having that kind of ability must be like. Its just... I mean whether I'm going to trust you or not, even before I knew that you just kind of come off as... as scary. Ruby's one of my only friends, even if this one's a different one from back home the thought of something happening to her is terrifying."
Blake actually let out a short huff of a laugh, though there wasn't any amusement in it. "I mean, I was having trouble with my normal life. I thought I was stuck in some extraordinary, awful mess back home, but this, all these other worlds everyone came from, some... thing screwing around with us, your problems, the deaths we haven't even begun to figure out, its... its just overwhelming. Makes my old problems seem tiny, and we were barely handling those."
"But that doesn't mean I should take it out on you when you've done nothing but make the occasional off color comment and have otherwise been one of the only people to take this seriously. Even if I'm not sure I've convinced myself we even can do anything except play along, I really don't think I could do it by myself." She rubbed at her forehead as she spoke, finally glancing up when she was done with a contrite frown. "So thanks. Both of you. Hopefully I'm wrong."
Ugh. Not that she thought she was ever going to actually be content as long as they were stuck in this hellhole of sunshine and murder, but even compared to the last few days her mood was pretty shot in a combination of guilt, frustration, and the ever present fear and anger at this whole mess. She pushed her plate away. and stood up. "And we can start trying to prove me wrong now, if you two are up for it. I'm gonna pay a visit to the counselor in charge... person. Whatever we call this Olga girl."
before she turned to leave though, she did allow herself a small smirk as she added. "And hey. Don't sell me short. Maybe this whole place has me a bundle of nerves and. I may not be able to kill everything I look at, but this cat girl is pretty good with her sword-that's-not-a-sword-because-it-has-a-sheath. And thats not even getting into whats inside the sheat-"
Oh hey. New girl. She blinked in surprise and gave Tsukimi a hesitant wave before glancing towards Shiki.
"...Is she with you?"
@Jeremi @OrlandoBloomers @CCC Kouhai
She released the tray, letting it drop like a pin...and when it did, the atmosphere had changed. Just like that. A snap of the fingers.
You could almost hear it. The steady dun dun dun DUN, the rise of the crescendo, the building tension...you could almost feel the black bars close in around the eyes, focusing on the absolutely intense stare off these two terrorists shared.
An effect that was ruined by two things. One, the steady drip drop of cookie dough right from the nostrils. Two, the steady sound of raucous laughter from the other party, as she could not hold it together. Literally rolling on the floor laughing, to the point that she was writhing in actual slight pain and struggling to breathe.
She pushed herself up eventually, wiping a tear from her eyes. "I win! Again! No different than home." She pulled down on the bottom of her eyelid and stuck her tongue out in reply to Blake's farewell. "NYEH!" She said with a snicker, turning back to go and eat some mor--
*splat*
"..."
She turned, feeling a syrupy waffle beginning to fall to the floor, the sticky residue of the syrup keeping it hanging on for the briefest of moments before it plummeted. A dull plip plop as it hit and she raised her gaze from it to out the window, one hand slipping up to check the back of her head. All the stickiness in her hair. She lowered her hands, clenching her fists as she stared daggers at the window for the longest of moments.
Until...until she brightened, smile returning, though it was really no friendlier than her glaring. "Touché, raven hair. I'll get you back. You'll never see me coming." With that promise, she turned once more, mind already churning out ideas for her revenge.
It will be glorious.
"Hey, wolf guy."
@Schnee Corp Lawyer @OrlandoBloomers @TheBlueBurch @Jeremi @CCC Kouhai @york
After Asakura was done making it rain waffles, she marched over and took a seat by Hank--who appeared to be speaking with Kyon--while she began to pull chunks of food out of her hair from falling in that mess a few minutes ago. She mumbled to herself like a grumpy old man, not bothering to put on the facade of a smile when Kyon addressed her. "Oh, sleeping was fine. It's just breakfast that turned out to be a huge mess," Asakura said, appearing as if she had been dunked in a puddle of goop from the syrup she fell in. "What am I going to do now? This is my only pair of clothes, and my hair is all sticky..."
@Verite @Josh M
"Right, sorry..." Hajime sighed as he held up his hands to surrender, "You want me to go away so I don't annoy you anymore?"
As they were left to their own ways again, Alex looked at Katara.
"Hey, morning roomie," he said, smiling. "Don't suppose you want to go for something to eat again at the canteen, or somewhere else." He thought about the other possibilities, but none stood out. "It might be a good idea anyway, have breakfast or brunch or whatever. We might not have a chance later."
@Korra
Yukio smiled at the two, especially Yato, and nodded. "Well I have been employed by the Yashida family, so my duties have been devoted in service of them. If you are in Tokyo, we very well may have run in to each other at some point, perhaps?" She thought about the possibility, and the population and transportation infrastructure of Tokyo made her head spin inside.
"A monster in the forest? I don't believe that!" Gary said. After all he was from a life that monsters only existed in fantasy. But with the recent happenings...
"So it came from the forest? That settles it. I won't go there."
@Atomyk @Lizzy @TheBlueBurch @Mari
There were a plethora of negative things one could say about Shiki. She was rude, forceful, scary, obstinate... and a whole bunch of other things besides. But, in spite of all of those... she was a good listener, and every word Blake spoke was heard and digested thoughtfully, turned over and over in her mind as she watched with the same intent look.
When Blake was finished, Shiki gave her response in the form of a calm, brief nod. And the faintest of smiles, though it was tinged with a melancholy that made it a bittersweet gesture more than anything.
"I get it. I am scary, and I've only ever had one friend... I'd be protective if he was caught up in this mess, too."
She shrugged, unsure of what else to say. She was more used to wearing a veil of sarcasm and stoniness when conversing.
She was silent for a few moments longer, eyes closed. When she spoke again, her voice lacked its typical rough edge, and her shoulders seemed just a little less tense than usual.
"Hey... Keep those tiny old problems of yours at the front of your mind. And keep thinking about how they still need resolving."
It was what she did, and it helped give her purpose during this fiasco. This was just an obstacle; something impeding her progress towards more important things back home. Nothing more.
At the last part, however, she snorted and gave an acquiescent shrug of the shoulders.
"Good to hear it. I wanna see just how one goes about wielding a pointy yo-yo gun in a fight, anyways. And I guess she is; I've been seeing her around since last night. Hey, you. Mousy girl. What's your name?"
She directed her question at Tsukimi, one eyebrow arched questioningly and head tilted to one side. "You can stay if you want, but I'd at least like to know what to call my stalker."
And then the mess with the food fight began.
@Schnee Corp Lawyer @Jeremi @CCC Kouhai
Shiki had quietly slipped into the commotion after Blake took a tray to the face courtesy of Jinx, and mostly kept her head down and avoided the bulk of this eyeroll-inducing food flinging business. She didn't really care to get involved in it directly. But by the time it was over...
...Well, Blake had gotten payback in her own way. She supposed she respected that. Even so, she had something a little more... direct... in mind.
A hand suddenly closed around Jinx's wrist in a vice-grip, and the blue-haired lunatic was abruptly flipped onto her back over a table and held with a knife to her throat, Shiki straddling her on either side as she stared her down with the same clinical, neutral gaze worn by science students about to dissect a frog.
"You talk too much. Pull a stunt like that again and I'll carve out the rest of your teeth and make you swallow them."
Her voice was almost completely devoid of emotion, but the murderous glint in her eyes carried enough malice that it didn't matter. She slowly, deliberately traced a line down Jinx's cheek with the tip of her knife, applying just enough pressure to break the skin and draw blood.
"Earlier, you mentioned something about killing the tooth fairy... well, I'm afraid she's not real, so you'll just have to consider me the next-best thing. Any time you feel like taking your shot... I'll be waiting."
And just like that, she stood up... her threat delivered, knife tucked back into the rear of her kimono's sash as she silently made to follow Orie out the door. Hopefully that'd be enough of a scare to warn a psychopath like Jinx off, but she had her doubts.
