Day 13: Investigation

[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.]

Let's not get into who did or didn't mess up any ladders!

It's late! Or early! We've got an investigation to carry out, right?

[OH MY GOD???]

Minako? Illya?

[JESUS HE'S RUSHING OVER TO THE HOLE AND PEERING DOWN IN IT, INJURIES BE DAMNED.]

Are you two alright?!

[ SHOUTING ]

We're way better than everyone else down here! What kind of school has a morgue?!

[ Illya just frowns quite a bit; she doesn't really care too much but look, she's gotta rub salt in the wound. ]

Onii-chan? [ She's yelling right back. ] Mm, we're definitely fine. There's a lot of dead bodies in the leichenschauhaus, though.

The... What?!

You don't know what a morgue is, Shuichi? Do you want me to explain it to you?

Don't ask her if she knows any good stories about them.

N-No, that's fine. But what exactly did you find in there?

If you really want to see, then all right, brace yourself - [ slowwwwly reaches for the nearest cabinet ]

Ah.

[ He does actually appear to brace himself, eyes turning serious but not moving away from the cabinet ]

[ ...Opens i-

Doesn't, in fact, open it. That's off the table. ]

...Nah, they're all locked.

...I see. That's interesting.

[ Locked body compartments could be concealing important clues about who's actually dead, after all. ]

Ah, but for now, we really should get you two out of here. You must be tired.

Good idea. At least one of us could use a shower. It's no place for two delicate young women to be stuck in all night.

[ Yawns, slaps her cheeks. Yanks on the rope - yep, that's sturdy. Starts casually climbing up it. Just like in gym class except without the useful knots, but she's easily got the highest acrobatics score out of the people she knows are about, so. ]

A-Ah.

[ Well... that... also works.

He watches her climb up with some amount of awe. ]

Be careful not to slip.

[ The good news - she's wearing a long dress so she's not getting rope burn. The bad news - it's a long enough dress that she can't give Shuichi shit for looking up her skirt. Or Illya shit for looking up her skirt, she's equal opportunity like that. ]

I'm on the volleyball team back home! I could climb this in my sleep!

[ It's no Love-Me Chain, it'd be nice if she could just make it move how she wanted. ]

[ That is too bad because he would absolutely be looking up her skirt from this angle otherwise. ]

Then, maybe once you get to the top you can help lift Illya up?

[ He assumes she was not on the volleyball team. ]

[Guess whose being running around like a headless chicken and making a racket as they go? Friends!? Friends where are you- Oh the friends are together, yay!

Futayo just runs in still holding her spear and in her tracksuit. Then she just stands at the door when she's there.]

You found the strange room...

[Not even out of breath]

Ah, Futayo-san, you are just in time...

...to watch Saihara-san descend into the darkness, at least.

[she laughs]

Have you seen this knife before?

[She holds up the knife she found... a serrated bread knife.]

[She blinks and watches.]

I did not find this before. I thought you were supposed to state away from that part?

[But she looks at the knife.]

I have not seen than one.

It seems some people did not.

[shrugs]

Perhaps our friends will shed light on its purpose. It certainly got here some how.

Did you do anything after we were separated?

Did either of them bring it here?

[Looks at the two?]

No. I was unable to find a new friend like I was told so I went to my room after searching.

My experience was similar. Unfortunately, they even sealed the holes in our wall so we can't confirm our alibis.

[huffs]

No, I already inquired Kurusu-san and Kurosaki-san about it. Though if no one will 'own up' to it, then perhaps fingerprints will do.

--Even then, I will need to test it for blood.

That means we cannot talk all night again. Unless you do the same thing as Akira-dono did...

[yay sleepover!]

...The edge is not straight. It would be difficult to remove everything that is in its teeth.

...True, though perhaps it became a tool of destruction in an indirect way?

For example, if one were to cut a rope placed above a pit, while someone is on the rope, at a distance from the ground great enough to seriously injure or kill the person...

I do not understand. The two down there are small and even they were not injured by the fall for that. And they would have been easy targets, but the one who cut the rope left them...

[Or the rope cutter didn't know how big the drop was, but why have a knife that's bad for stabbing.]
