DAY EIGHT (morning)
 Complex Population: 19 It's 8AM, and you wake from that deep, dreamless sleep that enforces curfew as always. Of course, some of you might be waking up due to a rather alarming reason. NOTE: This day post will be run slightly differently because of the large amount of things to be discovered. Please indicate where your character is in the subject line of your toplevel, and a mod will reply to conduct the investigation. Please note that some areas may be dangerous, and your characters may be injured, but characters will not be killed (unless you want them to be). 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 |
atrium
naturally, he'll be headed towards one of the more spacious places to check: the atrium. which corpse salsa awaits him... ]

no subject
Have you seen Mitsutada today? [ there better not be anymore feet in the water ]
no subject
The other item is an empty bottle of antifreeze. ]
no subject
[ is it too soon
but since both mitsutada and that bottle of antifreeze need to be pulled out, and ookurikara is closer to mitsutada in general, dazai will leave that task up to him. ]
no subject
By the way he's cradling the body, he might not let anyone else get close to it BUT...he stops for a second to chuck the bottle of antifreeze towards Dazai...just take it. ]
no subject
anyway, once it lands, he tiptoes around the drops of red fountain water and peers down at the empty bottle. is it dented anywhere? are there any specific marks on it? ]
no subject
When Ookurikara approaches the fountain, he might see something in the water, but it's too late. When he grabs Mitsutada, there's very suddenly an explosion. Ookurikara will be injured in one way of your choosing: loosing a digit (or more than one), burst ear drums, or moderate, but not life threatening damage from shrapnel. He will also be somewhat ill with cold-like symptoms for the next three IC days.
Dazai will be similarly ill, since the water will get on him, but the explosion will also cause him to be hard of hearing for 24 IC hours, and he may be injured by shrapnel at your choice.
Also, Mitsutada's body is now corpse salsa. ]
no subject
but at least he managed to step away in time to avoid the worst of it... ]
no subject
he does give pause to see if Mitsutada's sword landed anywhere, that would give him some comfort and maybe not force him to go on a killing spree but who knows...who knows... ]
no subject
There's also some interesting shrapnel around. Whatever exploded isn't going to be easy to figure out, but there are also lots of long pieces of wood... Like a baseball bat. ]
no subject
and if he's not wrong, there's been a murder with a baseball bat before, so if he puts two and two together... ]
Ookurikara, over here. [ and since he knows he'll be ignored if he leaves it at that: ] This might be the weapon that was used to kill Mitsutada.
[ please, baseball bat, don't explode on them too. ]
no subject
He wouldn't stick around at this point BUT some part of him (the angry part) wants to find everything he can here. So when Dazai does call for his attention, he heads over to see what he's found. ] ...This? What about that bottle I threw at you then? What was that even for?
[ please no more surprise explosions ]
no subject
no subject
but now that they've discovered everything, all that's left is to discuss everything that they've found between them. along with something else that dazai wants to bring up to ookurikara, but that can wait until after they've touched upon antifreeze and baseball bats. ]
It's something called "antifreeze". It lowers the freezing point of a liquid, which keeps it from freezing. I wonder if it was used in the water, rather than on Mitsutada.
[ hence, its name. he probably got that from reading the label of the bottle, but if there was no label, then he doesn't know what it is. ]
no subject
And this wood thing? This killed him? What was the deal with that explosion... [ says ookurikara with shrapnel still stuck all over his body it's gucci ]
no subject
It's most likely that he was beaten to death with this baseball bat.
[ look, ookurikara, you have to unstick the shrapnel off of your body, or else dazai will do it for you. but onto the explosions, yes! ]
I don't know. Do you know if he's eaten anything strange? If not, then... [ he pauses, deliberating on whether or not to bring it up, but... ookurikara deserves to know. ] One of my roommates was making bombs yesterday. I'm not aware if he actually succeeded or not, though.
no subject
BUT...he goes eerily silent after hearing that last bit. it takes him a few moments, sifting through and at least attempting to organize his thoughts. mitsutada had told him last time that he should speak up more, that he should do something if there were incidents that particularly bothered or stood out to ookurikara. which is what leads him to this...turning to fully face dazai and in a strained tone of voice, he asks: ] Who. [ give him The Name ]
no subject
but while he knows that he'll be tossing one of his roommates under the bus, well — for now, he doesn't see what else could have exploded. he also doesn't think that his roommate is actually responsible for this, but it doesn't hurt to toss out this kind of knowledge, does it?
(it does.) ]
