Day 13: Investigation

[pandatreasure]

[Morning comes, and with it, a distinct sense of unease. The raccoons spared no feelings in their offers yesterday, and even tried to ensure a murderer could get away with it... Only if everything goes according to the raccoons' plans, though, and that hasn't really been the case so far, has it? Haven't you been doing so well these not-quite-two weeks?

In some cultures, thirteen is considered an unlucky number, you know.]

[Ah, not at all! In fact, he might have looked to McGonagall with a curious look then at the fish again. ]

Can't say I know any of them, but they're interesting nonetheless. I hope we find nothing here. It's too pretty of a place to murder someone.

[piertotumlocomotor]

Yes, I'm fond of this place. It'd be rather unfortunate if we found anything here.

[...]

Which is why I came here before going anywhere else. Knowing our captors, they'd bring a corpse here.

[At least the fishes seem okay]

[pandatreasure]

[The fishes are fine! Totally good! Everything is nice and calm and friendly in here and...

Oh, actually, that's the weirdest fucking fish anyone's ever seen just sort of floating in the distance. Or maybe it's...a big full garbage bag? It's slowly drifting further down the tunnel...]

[chosemyfate]

....?

[He's. got his eyes on that. JUST A HINT UNSETTLED.]

...Are you seeing that, too, McGonagall?

[piertotumlocomotor]

[Looks like she may have been right. Darn it]

I did. If you wish to turn around now, you should do it. This is bound to be unpleasant, to say the least.

[She's ready to go get a closer look, but are you ready, Corrin?]

[chosemyfate]

...I've seen more unpleasant. I think I will manage.

[He's honestly not too sure (but then again. a world of war where he's from so...) BUT.

Just going to join her for a closer look. Here goes nothing. WHAT'S IN THE BAG?]

[pandatreasure]

[It's not a garbage bag, they'll notice as they get closer, but the state of the body explains how...weird and lumpy it is, how it could have been mistaken from a distance in the water's blur. Are limbs supposed to go that way? Do necks belong at that angle, at that degree? Arms twisted hard, legs folded over, and, facing away from them, among all the fish, the body of Dazai floats leisurely along the aquarium tunnel.]

[chosemyfate]

[Aaaand he pales at the sight of limbs and started to recognize who they belogned to.]

G-Gods... And there's no way to get him out of there is there?

[piertotumlocomotor]

[McGonagall closes her eyes. This is nasty...]

I do not think there is. We should inform the rest -- there is a trial to come.

[Boy are they going to be in for a surprise once they hear there's more than one body]

[chosemyfate]

[It is... He shuddered as he tore his eyes from the sight. Ready to follow/head on out to find someone and anyone to let them know.]

...I hate that it's come to this again.

Very well. I'm a little hesitant to see how Akira and Ichigo react.

[piertotumlocomotor]

[Leaving the underground tunnel still with Dazai there makes her uncomfortable, but it's not like they have a choice. Now she won't be able to look at that tunnel the same ever again]

They're rather strong-willed young men, the sooner they hear about this, the better. I fully believe they can endure the loss of their friend.
