Day 5, afternoon

[pandatreasure]

[SO HEY, THIS MORNING WAS SUPER COOL, HUH??? EASTER EGG HUNT, BODY PARTS, TOO MANY LEGS, SUPER FUN, RIGHT????

and the fun don't stop here at Nope's Peak Academy, because once that announcement has gone off and everyone's had a couple of minutes to...pretend to catch their bearings and deal with the fact that all of the body parts are gone except for the major award leg lamp Ichigo's stuck holding, there are more announcements to come.]

As of now, you have the rest of today and tomorrow to figure out who to punish for the murder of Sigma Klim! You should double check your rules page if you forget what that entails. Or if you didn't! Nyehehehe.

[And there's something new on that rules page, too, for those who take a minute to check.]

You can vote whenever you want, but make sure to do it, okay? It's going to be a problem if you refuse to vote at all, nyehehehehe!

[When the characters open up their tablet again, laborious instructions will guide them through getting to the voting app and using it; both names and pictures are showcased. Votes can be changed at any time, and there's a countdown at the top of the app for how long until votes are due.]

Good luck, everyone, nyehehe!

Of course we should - if we aren't, then we could end up voting for someone completely innocent.

[And everyone there would have blood on their hands.]

...I'm starting to think those overgrown trashmongers have a q-tip fetish or something.

[afailedmurder]

It seems likely, though I would prefer that the investigation not extend to that particular subject, for obvious reasons.

[suppressthedark]

[Yeah no, he agrees.]

Anyway, I was with Atsuko last night - we found a maintenance room in one of the supply closets. I have a 'wet floor' sign I took from there in my room, if you want to see.

[afailedmurder]

Sure, I'll look. I'll show you what I took from the nurse's office as well.

[suppressthedark]

Alright - I'll meet you back here in a few minutes.

[And assuming Akechi agrees, when they come back into the auditorium, Ichigo's brought a very obvious wet floor sign, except the words on it just say 'holy fucking shit' instead of what you'd think they'd actually say.]

[afailedmurder]

[Akechi has some bandages, painkillers, and a bottle of rubbing alcohol. When he sees the sign, he laughs.]

Yes, I can see why you'd take that.

[suppressthedark]

[Ichigo grins, setting it down and setting it up like there's an actual liquid spill on the floor.]

Yeah, I couldn't resist - it was either this, or the one talking about the Raccoons crossing.

[afailedmurder]

You definitely made the correct choice.

[suppressthedark]

[He just laughs a little himself, before focusing on the items Akechi's brought.]

At least we have some decent first aid supplies, now - in case anything happens.

[afailedmurder]

Yes. There are more in there, by the way; I wasn't trying to monopolize the supplies, I simply felt a little more secure having some on hand.

[suppressthedark]

That's a good idea - we don't really know if the raccoons are going to take away supplies. They haven't so far, but...it's still early, and that could change.

[afailedmurder]

It's not them I'm worried about in this particular instance, but yes.

[suppressthedark]

[That catches his attention pretty fast.]

What do you mean?

[afailedmurder]

If the raccoons want to take something, they'll take it. I'm more worried about everyone else here.

[suppressthedark]

If they get severely hurt, you mean?

[Since all they have is first aid supplies...]

[afailedmurder]

Are you playing dumb? Obviously someone is going to get hurt or the supplies wouldn't be there in the first place. My concern was that some asshole might hoard everything useful and then make the rest of us beg for it.

[could you be like 10% less protag right now]

[suppressthedark]

[Can't stop won't stop -

But really, Ichigo tends to both expect nothing from people but also have faith that they're not all assholes. He is a walking contradiction.]

...You think someone'd be that desperate or selfish?

[He's not denying it - he wants to know if Akechi's got anyone pegged for that sort of thing.]

[afailedmurder]

Why not? Someone was desperate and selfish enough to murder a man last night.

[it'd be a lot faster to count what few people he thinks wouldn't]

[suppressthedark]

[That's a fair point, and he winces a little.]

...Yeah, you're right. So should a few people take some extra supplies just in case someone decides to monopolize the nursing room?

[afailedmurder]

Quietly, yes. If everyone has the same idea, we're back to the same problem.
