Chapter 1: Abnormal Days

Attention! A body has been found! That's right, a body has been found! Report to the hallway on the way to the cafeteria! A body, I'm so proud!

[Maybe you go to the hallway. Standing in fear is Lev, staring at Jakub, who is holding Tony's bloodied corpse.]

Doubt it was the potatoes that did her in.

..?

[slowly looks up at him (he's crouching on the ground next to the potato box)]

You doubt they did... what? Sorry..!

Too much blood for her to have been beaten to death.

Yes? Did you--

[remembers]

Wasn't it the, um...

[makes a scissor motion with his fingers]

The cutters on the floor? They were bloody. I was sure that was what she was killed with! The other boy saw them too.

Ah... I didn't see those. But where did the murderer get scissors?

Anyone here a tailor?

[man why can't he remember the list of SHSLs, all he can remember is the "dangerous" ones (marksman and lumberjack in particular) at this point]

[gives him a long clueless look]

I don't know. But if not, maybe they were just... ah, somewhere? Like there are knifes here.

[points them out]

Knives make sense in a kitchen. But scissors...

[he's now convinced the murderer is a super-secret SHSL Seamstress or something like that]

Do we have a... a...

[snaps his fingers, searching for the word]

Right! An art room? For painting? In my old school we sometimes would cut things in art class.

[that's correct, the first murder happened and he hasn't even managed to check all the rooms out yet]

Didn't see an art room today or yesterday, so...

[thinking] Didn't get a chance to check our toolkits, they got scissors?

Tool kits..?

Oh, right! I'm sorry, I, I haven't looked either!

[sighs]

...

Did the girl talk to anyone again? With the short black hair and, um...

[phantomimes glasses]

There's a girl that looks like that? Huh. Haven't talked to her.

[she sure sounds like someone he would never want to work for]

Hm-m.

The boy who found Tony with me, he... talked to her, because she was there too. He said she said Tony wanted to kill her?

[rubs his eye]

Maybe I remember it wrong. But she yelled a lot! It was strange.

Sounds suspicious. Didn't really talk to the redhead... er, Tony, but. Didn't seem like the type to throw around death threats. Maybe the glasses girl knows something we don't.

Yes, maybe.

[shifts a little, feeling under pressure as the consequences of a wrong judgement skirt around the edge of his poor memory]

But... maybe she was just scared? Maybe she thought we would kill her if we thought that she had killed Tony? And that's why she said Tony was a bad person?

Ah. Maybe. The man on the TV said something that we need to take care of who did it, yes?

[crosses his arms]

Perhaps we need to check what everyone was doing last night.

Yes, maybe...

[looks at him intently (not that he doesn't always do that to anyone)]

I was reading a book in my room. Before that I wanted to eat, but I was sent back, and Tony was not in the corridor then. I only met the boy who planned this, and the blond one with grey eyes. Um, not the one who found Tony with me - the other one. He wanted to take a walk without his shirt.

[nods]

I walked with Janssen for a few hours, but we ultimately found nothing. The girl was not in the hallway at that time, either, so she must have been murdered after we had given up looking around.

Yes... hm.

[keeps looking at him somewhat hopelessly; he's got nothing]

No one will admit that they found the scissors, I think. What can we do? We cannot look inside people's heads and see if they lie.

[has no clue who Janssen is, of course]

[crosses his arms]

There must be something. None of us are here for our ability to hunt or for cleanliness. There needs to be some sort of clue...

Hm... have you talked to him yet?

[Lev, that is]

I think he's still watching Tony - maybe you two can put together what you've been thinking of?

[shakes his head]

Er, not yet. I suppose I should. Though this is an awful event to bring us together.

[nods]

I feel...

[trails off, shakes his head and turns back to his potatoes]

[well]

[looks like he's not going to get more out of you, Potato-kun]

[so he's just going to... go talk to Lev up there]

[all of this stuff - no, really, all of this stuff - is just so hard to talk about]

[but for the record, if Goth-kun cares, he's more relaxed around him than around most of the others because he isn't so loud and hectic]
