Hawthorne University: A school with a dark past involving drugs, depression, murder, and suicide.

[Solar]

Atrum continued to stack the items on his table in varying ways as if nothing happend, his mind racing. Then he spoke firmly,

"The authorities will be here shortly. A good deal of the time my father allows me to witnesse the crime scene and you all know I've solved a couple of cases, hell Ubi even helped me on one. Anyway, they're keeping a lot of this stuff shush shush
so it's been harder for me to get any information. I'm going to check out the bathroom, anyone who wants to come can do so."

He got up with a strong look in his eyes, staring at all of them in turn before turning away. Before he walked away, he said:

"I'm in too. By the way, the killer might not be far away if this isn't a suicide."

And with that he went in.

***

Sadly, most detectives either pay too much attention to detail and some not enough. So before he went to the stall he searched every nook and cranny of the bathroom. It was extraordinarily clean for a male's, however that would make the killer's job harder. Sol didn't want to contiminate the scene, so he refrained from touching anything until he forged a make shift pair of gloves from some paper towels. The killer couldn't have just walked out, but there would be security footage available at his disposable. There was no other exit from the bathroom either. He had to come from a vent if he didn't take the usual route. He also had to be waiting there and had no specific target unless he knew the victim would be here. That makes the motive a bit hard to find. The murder was quick and painless if it was a hanging. So the bastard wasn't sadistic, was he?

Wait, how could've the victim hanged himself? There's nothing to hang from! So he was strangled from the rope by the killer. Atrum grimly checked the dead body with delicacy and respect as much as he could. There were bruises, so obviously there was some sort of struggle. He gentley picked up the rope. It wasn't thick or that good of quality, just enough to get the job done. Atrum grimaced, this was either a rookie or a pro who wanted to seem like a rookie. However no more clues could have been deduced with a proper autopsy and the usage of more advanced gear.

Sighing, he came out of the stall and proceeded to look for more clues

[OOC: I'm just going to assume all of you are my students, and that PL's character Cody; owns the Cafe]

Gabriel tried one more sip of his burnt coffee, "That's it, I deserve way more than this shit!"

The door to the Maid Cafe was slammed open by Gabriel. He sternly asked a Maid for a cup of Hazel Nut Coffee, once he obtained his coffee he went to go sit at one of the corner tables. But as soon as he was about to sit down a large man with an exceptional build took his seat, "Sir I was going to si-" The large man gave him a sharp look.

Gabriel slowly backed up, not knowing of a table filled with his students directly behind him. He bumped into this table and a few drops of his coffee spilled onto the floor, he was oblivious to it though.

"Ah, well isn't it my melding underachieving students. Who I have no presumable hope for! Well except you Cody, you will always be a stared student in the eyes of your favorite teacher: Mr.Boimoux," Said Gabriel I. Boimoux, who was hoping for a free muffin from Cody.

[Trunks]

After Jason described what had just happened, Sol, a detective himself looked for clues.

Which in the end, couldnt anything that could lead to the killer.

Soon he saw Mr. B.

"Ah, well isn't it my melding underachieving students. Who I have no presumable hope for! Well except you Cody, you will always be a stared student in the eyes of your favorite teacher: Mr.Boimoux,"

Mr. B or as the other teachers would him, Gibs. Would always try to put him and his friends down, and say sarcasm things.

He wasnt upset at him, Jason didnt care for what he thought about him, but he couldnt just let him say rude remarks like that to him, and his friends.

As he was about to tell him off himself, Jason soon saw a cut in Mr. B's hand which was covered by a bandaid which wasnt enough to cover the blood that was spilling from the wound.

Jason found that very suspicious, but didnt want to assume anything just yet, It looked real recent like it happened just a few minutes ago, maybe from a recent struggle? Jason thought to himself.

"Well, fcuk you Gibs!" replied Jason to his rude remarks. Knowing that is a phrase he despised.

"What is that cut from?"

[Jozi]

A feeling of implosion had set off within Gabriel's stomach. It had took him a few moments to regain his psychological momentum back;

"Be careful with what you say, it would be a shame to find yourself suspended from the Football Team for inappropriate conduct towards a teacher," snapped Gabriel.

[Trunks]

Jason could see that Mr. B aka Gibs was deeply upset about what he had just said.

Gibs looked out of it, like he was trying to bring himself to together.

Jason felt that not all was well with him mentally.

"Be careful with what you say, it would be a shame to find yourself suspended from the Football Team for inappropriate conduct towards a teacher,"

"Says the one who comes out here speaking down on his fellow students, your threats wont get you very far" replied Jason.

Hearing him say that he could be suspended from the Football team, Jason didnt know what to think of that. He worked his whole life to get at the level that he is in right now to be able to make it in the National Football League. Plus scouts are supposed to come to his school soon for talent to recruit them into the NFL.

He always stood up for himself no matter what, and he wasn't starting to now. He wouldn't allow anybody bully him with threats.

If he wasn't destined for Football greatness then so be it. Besides life was more than just a sport.

"Now answer my damn question! What is that cut from?!"

[IceBlueWings]

Hanami looked at the group. Sol had got up and left to search for clues, and she was feeling tense because the atmosphere became so gloomy. Then suddenly, or at least she thought it was sudden since she wasn't really paying attention to what was happening around them, Mr. Boimoux had appeared in front of them. She looked at him and gave a smile. "Good morning sir." She said politely. He wasn't the best teacher, she would think since he always had a sarcastic tone and she felt he underestimated them, but she couldn't really care.

But she stopped saying anything else when Jason spoke to Mr. Boimoux. She listened to their conversation, feeling that the conversation was a little stormy. "H-Hey, let's calm down, Jason..." Getting him suspended from the football team wasn't worth it. When he pointed out the cut on Mr. Boimoux's hand, she stared. Obviously it would look suspicious, since a student just died in the washroom, but accusing Mr. Boimoux would not be a good idea either.

Although feeling suspicious, she couldn't believe that he would do something like that, even if he hated any student. "Are you alright, Mr. Boimoux? You may want to get that treated properly! What if you get some bad infection? But how did you get that cut anyway?" She asked, trying not to sound too suspicious.

[Jozi]

Gabriel had released his focus on Jason, and had instead replied to his student Hanami:

"Oh! It's so nice to see a student show some respect and care towards their teacher. Well this monstrosity here was caused by your math teacher accidentally dropping the blade of the paper trimmer on the hand of your good ol' teacher Mr. Boimoux.

There I was, just telling her how big her..."

He then saw the anger on his students face's, "...personality was. And BAM! I found myself with a paper trimmer blade stuck in my hand. No worries though, I already put some Neosporin on it." Then the Neosporin theme song had started to play in his head.

[Trunks]

Jason didnt know how to react.

He felt rage like he never felt before, Gibs would always threaten him about his grades, and disrespect him, and his friends.

Maybe it was he threatening him, that finally hit his high point, but he felt this negative energy around Gibs.

The way he talked, he stood, and he even saw sweat from his forehead coming down. Like as if he was hiding something.

The rage took over, he just clenched his fist, and punched him in his jaw.

[Aliahya]

Lilly didn’t know what to do. When Gib’s came over he seemingly spoke down to them all. Sure he was an asshole she thought but he knew what he was teaching...sometimes

When Hanami politely spoke to him asking him how he got the cut, she was curious. Then he told them

Oh! It's so nice to see a student show some respect and care towards their teacher. Well this monstrosity here was caused by your math teacher accidentally dropping the blade of the paper trimmer on the hand of your good ol' teacher Mr. Boimoux.

There I was, just telling her how big her..."



Her face dropped, this man was revolting she jaw clenched as she looked towards him, utter frustration came through her eyes and aura"...personality was. And BAM! I found myself with a paper trimmer blade stuck in my hand. No worries though, I already put some Neosporin on it."

Lilly took a deep breath, but when she opened her eyes, Jason had stood up, Gib’s and Jason’s eyes met. Then as quickly as he had come over and offered an insult, Jason landed a punch in the jaw of Gib’s.

Lilly was terrified, she stood up suddenly and grabbed Jason hands, in a sudden attempt to hold him back “JASON!” she called out helplessly. She looked towards him, her breath heavy and quick. This was insane...she thought she waited for his next reaction.

[Solar]

There was some sort of hulaboo going on outside the bathroom, and it didn't take a detective to figure it out. Sol opened the door very slowly, only so his eye could see what was going on. Yep, Jason had gotten himself into a fight and Lilly was trying to hold him back. Typical. A part of Sol wanted to help, but he felt oddly agitated at the moment and decided Jason deserved whatever he got. He spotted Cody and Hanami who seemed unpreoccupied, well the least unoccupied you could be at a moment like this. He opened the door a bit more and caught Hanami's eyes and gestured her to come in. Hopefully Cody would come to, but Sol didn't care. He just needed company and that body was starting to creep him out. And it smelled too.

[IceBlueWings]

Hanami had finished the rest of her milk by the time Mr. Boimoux answered their question, and she believed him completely. She nearly dropped her glass when Jason suddenly punched him. Lilly had got up and held Jason back, and she could only look around the whole cafe, hoping it wouldn't cause someone to call security to break the fight...or something like that.

As she looked around in concern, she spotted Sol from the washroom, catching his gesture. She stood up, hesitantly leaving the table to the rest and walked towards Sol. She was just standing outside the washroom in front of Sol and she smelled the stench.

She went pale. The thought of going into a men's washroom didn't bother her one bit, but the thought of seeing the dead body was disgusting and frightening. "D-Did you find anything...?" She asked, peeking into the washroom a curiously and nervously. She pulled her beanie down on her head, just as a habit.

[Solar]

He frowned for a moment, regarding the girl. He didn't want her to be disturbed, but for her own safety she had to know the facts. With a sigh, he began sadly,

"It had to be a murder. The rope couldn't support that much of a mass and there is nothing to hang from. There was signs of a struggle as well. What bothers me is where the killer went. He couldn't just walk out, he'd have blood on his body. And I doubt he went through the vent either. Unless...'

Sol's face went blank for a moment, as he realised something.

'Unless the killer never left.'

His brows narrowed as his face formed a harder expression

"Get close to me Hanami, and whatever you do, don't move."

[Keyblader!]

Cody was amused at how Jason got so mad over Gibs. Apparently he didn't catch on that he was just being sarcastic. The fact that he implied him as the only competent student should have made it obvious. If anything Cody was the only one being insulted. He took notice of the rage building in Jason, and was not surprised when he punched their teacher square in the jaw. "My-my, you should learn to control that temper of yours Jason." He said passivly, walking past him.

He saw Sol gesturing for him and Hanami to come into the restroom, so he did just that. Entering the restroom the first thing he noticed was the smell. "This smell... A body shouldn't be decomposing this quickly, how long has he been here?" Taking a closer look at the body he examined the neck. There was bruising, however it was inconsistent. The marks from the rope were in two places, one from the victim being strangled by it, and the other from being hung after death. "This bruising on the neck... You're right Sol, this guy was murdered, no doubt about it."

[IceBlueWings]

'Unless the killer never left.' Sol said.

Hanami was looking until he said that, and she froze, her heart beating wildly. "Y-You're joking." She stuttered, nearly squeaking it out. On his command, she stood closer to Sol, placing a hand over her mouth as she felt herself breathing faster in fear.

So right now the two of them were in the washroom, and they were the next targets for the killer. She felt a little pathetic. Jason had proposed to find the killer and she was willing to do it, but the killer has found her first, although she wasn't too surprised about that. She just didn't want to die yet. The silence was frustrating. Her eyes darted around, expecting the killer to appear. All she could hear was her heart beating wildly.

[Solar]

Sol often had bad luck. So when Cody walked in and noticed him and Hanami standing awfully close, he turned a delicate shade of crimson. Right now Hanami started to panic so she was his main concern. He gently grabbed her by the shoulders and attempted to calm her down.

"Shhh shh it's alright, it's just a guess. Unfortunately a good one. But you're with me, right? No need to worry because I have a plan.'

He looked at Cody over Hanami's shoulder and said,

'Cody, go the left side of the restaurant and hang there. Casually check if anyone is there but be discrete. If we had another person here, my plan would go better but oh well.'

Then he addressed Hanami softly,

'Right, Hanami you come with me.'

More quietly he whispered,

'We're going to act for a moment, alright? Just pretend we're um, a happy couple or something. We're going to go to the other side of the restaurant and I'll see what I can find."

With his free arm, he opened the door and nodded at Cody before walking out with Hanami with the biggest fake grin he could manage. He hoped he would be a good actor, something told him he would.
