DAY TWO (morning)

[judgejudy]

DAY 2 (morning) Complex Population: 34 It's 8AM, and rather than waking naturally, you awake to the sound of an odd tone ringing through the intercom. As you wake from that deep, dreamless sleep that enforces curfew as always, Judy's voice speaks up a few moments after. "A death has occurred. Safety Protocol 6227-A is now in effect. Protocol now available on Complex terminals." That ominous message might prompt you to leave your room more quickly. You can check out the terminal, where a new file is available, but as you head into the atrium, you might notice something else. The viewing stage is open. It seems that someone was busy during the night. — This post is for the second day as defined in the schedule. This post is for investigation and general mingling before the trial that takes place in the afternoon IC. ic rulebook character statuses character profiles private conversations graveyard

[Leo has thoughts.

This isn't the first death he's ever witnessed, even without certain significant memories, but it's certainly the most gruesome to date. It's hard to make out the look in his eyes, between the thick glasses and the long bangs, but there's no humor on the rest of his face, and his pallor is probably telling.

He doesn't stand and stare at the body very long--there are people here better equipped than he to deal with this sort of thing. First, he goes to Judy, in an attempt to confirm his suspicions about this place; which fails, of course. He sits in the atrium for a little while, staring into the fountain water; he'll respond if spoken to, but he won't call out, too deep in thought. Eventually, he makes it back to wherever there are the most people.

Eventually, when it seems like he won't be interrupting serious investigation work, he pipes up.]

Has anyone seen his companion?

[ Honestly, Ookurikara is probably one of The Last people one wants to be talking to when in that kind of state that Leo is currently in AND YET! Ookurikara is the one who response because he hasn't said anything else or talked to anyone else, just standing around for the most part and taking in what can be from the situation. Which is...not much. They can't get into the room to investigate so whatever they see is what they're all going to get. Are there any viable options for them even? Doubtful.

REGARDLESS. Ookurikara acknowledges Leo's presence with the slightest glance towards him, head tilting towards his general direction too. ] You mean he had one? [ NEWS TO HIM but then again he's barely gotten around to learning anyone's faces, names, let alone possible friends from Before they all came here. ]

I think so. I saw him with a woman, but I didn't speak to either of them.

[So he doesn't actually know her name. ...He didn't actually know Charles' name either, since they were busy arguing about a stupid candle holder the whole time.]
