Carrie took the small note and decided to read it.

"Meet me outside the offices" -Akira

[aperture-despair-2-orange]

Carrie examined the corpse carefully and even lifted her top just to check if there was more than one wound.

"A rabbit sticker can be seen in her hair, as well as a small note sticking out of her pocket."

Dear God No // Tsubaki // Body discovery

Oh god. Not another one. Tsubaki thundered down the hallway she was currently in and made her way to the stairwell; she thundered past some other students running to see the body. But she didn’t see Hikaru anywhere. Her anxiety began to rise as she really ramped up her speed and eventually made it to the stairwell.

Of course, the crowd of students there obscured her view, but the blood splatter and the glimpse of that silver hair made her feel as though a large rock had been dropped right into the pit of her stomach,

“…..Let me through….!”

She tried to squeeze past but no one seemed to want to move.  Her fear and worry began to cause her to actually shove past people, her cries loud and almost scary,

“L-LET ME THROUGH!!”

Once she’d gotten to the front-

She stopped. She stared. She felt her knees give out.

Hikaru was dead.

Hikaru was FUCKING DEAD.

She shot forward and gently knelt in front of Hikaru; she couldn’t bear to look in her eyes, she couldn’t stomach looking at her caved in skull, she couldn’t take the fact she’d never get to hold Hikaru again, nor hold her on her shoulders anymore. Tsubaki shakily held Hikaru’s face in her hands. She was so cold. It wasn’t right. Tsubaki began to cry, her sobs seemed to echo up the stairwell to the point that those at it’s top and bottom and the joint rooms or hallways either side wwould be able to hear her weeping,

“I’m sorry-! I’m sorry Karu-chan-!!”

Part of her wanted to run away and never look at the body again; another wanted her to hold Hikaru in her arms until she herself succumbed to either hunger, thirst or fatigue; a third part wanted her to hold Hikaru on her shoulders again, just one last time. She chose to attempt the second option. Ignoring those who would try to stop her and anything else that occurred, Tsubaki held Hikaru in her arms and sat at the bottom of the stairs with her, refusing to let go.

No flavor whatsoever|| Carrie || Re: Body Reveal(Open)

Hey another one! Just like last time. At least, Carrie didn't plan on kicking this corpse around. Instead, she just knelt down next to the body and..poked it lightly. Carrie seemed to be very fascinated by the blood as well and touched that too. No, Carrie don't! You'll get yourself dirty!

==> "...I wonder what blood feels like to humans. "

Tastes Bittersweet || Akira || RE:Body Reveal (Open)

The cosplayer blinked some times awkwardly as he stared at the dead body. His knees shook and he fell to the ground, crying as his eyes were wide.

“N-No… H-Hikaru… Hikaru-chan…” He had promised to stay alive. He promised he wouldn’t let anyone die. And then… she died.

Aperture Despair 2 - Orange: Chapter 2 - Discovery

The cold was getting unbearable - fortunately, it had only gotten so cold as to allow life, but someone unfortunately, was not allowed life.

“Well, that certainly took longer than I expected. I suppose someone finally snapped and killed one of their peers. Hilarious. Get looking.”

Hiraku Minami, SHSL Candy Maker, has been found dead:

The girl’s body lay there, slumped in the corner of the stairwell between the first and second floor. The scene was gruesome, and blood had been splattered from one end of the hall to the other. The group stood around shivering - no longer because of the cold, but from fear of what caused this horrific event.

“And to think, I never got a single piece of her candy. You know the drill. Investigate.”

York / Ice-Pick Tongue / closed for akira

Oh dear... The albino had terrible circulation and was always cold to the touch, so he might just freeze to death before any murder could happen ... That'd be.. Good? York ghosted the hallways until he found another nice corner to settle at, and maybe stay warm. All he could do was shiver like a leaf, curled up pitifully, lips nearly blue already. This was just too much.. His sweater and wool cap wasn't helping much, his fingers and toes numbly stiff.

Hot & Cold || Carrie || open

Lowering the temperature? Oh that wouldn't harm her right? She could always change the body temperature of her own body..which she did! But..then something dawned upon her. If Glados kept on lowering the temperature inside the facility, would also mean that Carrie would have to keep on raising her body temperature so...either her system will freeze or her system will overheat. 

==> "...If anyone needs warmth they can come to me..but I'm not sure for how long I can do this. "

[aperture-despair-2-orange]

Aperture Despair 2 Orange - Chapter 2 Motive: COLD BLOODED The large screen above the again sealed door to Glados' chamber once more crackled to life, and her voice echoed through both floors. "Surely, I assumed one of you would have murdered again. I was wrong. In lieu of this, I have decided to increase the running strength of the cooling systems, thus lowering the temperature within the facility below freezing. This will continue until someone has died. Thank you, goodbye."

This Isn't a Dream / Hashira \ Open

That execution had been absolutely terrifying... Sure, Hiroko had murdered someone and deserved to be punished. But... that? That was just cruel... No one deserved to go out like that no matter what they had done.

Two people were dead... They were trapped in here... and now two people were dead. Hashira found himself curled up in some hallway, his hands cradling his head against his knees as he tried to forget any of it had happened. If he pretended hard enough... Maybe it'd all be some nightmare he could wake up from... right?

He didn't want to die here... He didn't want to witness any more brutal deaths of the people that were supposed to be his friends... He just wanted to go home...

Fortune doesn't favor fools ||Akira|| RE: Wheel of Fortune (Open)

The cosplayer wasn’t feeling quite nice right now. He had heard the tale of the murderer, Hiroko, the luckster that had done it for the sake of their… Siblings. Why… Why siblings?

Akira was sitting down in Glados room, right on the floor. Deadly quiet while he looked at the blonde wig of his Dio Brando cosplay. Should he… Wear it? Dio would feel no remorse… Maybe it would give him strength?

“Perhaps…” He wondered, wiping some tears of his face, trying to force a smile. The cosplayer needed to keep hopes up, no matter what.

Exekution.exe? || Carrie || Open

She didn’t even say anything to that. She just stood there. Was she fascinated by what had happened to her? Hopefully not but there was some form of curiosity building up inside of her, if one could call it that.

==> “…I need to see her corpse. ”

==> “…I need to learn…”

===> “…I must understand death. ”

Run Rabbit RUN // Hikaru // open

"Why.... I can't believe this is happening, why... I want to go home... She didn't deserve to die like that!"

She wished this was just a nightmare but she knew deep inside it wasn't a nightmare... It was cruel harsh reality.

York / Open / Pity Party

It took all his already sickly will not to faint upon seeing the bloody victim and the main course, the killer's mangled being. How ironic blood, of all things, he couldn't swallow correctly; but writing it York simply adored. Death wasnt always an ugly thing in his mind.. The brit was also happy it wasnt Hikaru who was it. He wanted to know her more, maybe learn and get to try more candy. Was that selfish of him? He's never been selfish before... Even as his parents –that's all they were. His butt was firmly planted in another lonely corner, cheek resting against the cool wall.

(Chapter 1 Execution reaction) | Doll | OPEN

“…. Yuck..” Doll murmered. Ze didn’t think ze would be affected by something like this, although that looked very painful… Even if ze didn’t really care about Hiroko like everyone else had— a murderer was still a murderer, even with relationships and pitiable last words. Which brought Doll’s thoughts somewhere else. How dare Hikaru have the nerve to slap zer! What did ze even do wrong? Ze knew not everyone would have the same opinion, but it felt like Hikaru was treating zer like the murderer. “I still don’t get it…” Ze sighed.

Aperture Despair 2 - Orange: Chapter 1 - Wheel of Fortune 

The votes were cast, and Hiroko looked down in shame. Nobody could believe she had done it - killed another person...but what had happened had happened, and nothing would change that, everyone knew that.

Suddenly, a large orange oval appeared under Hiroko, and she soon fell through it, appearing on a large screen in the chamber, a blue-rimmed oval behind her. 

She was in a fairly colourful room, looking like something out of a game-show, or even a casino. A large wheel hung on the wall, with a spinner in the centre, and a number of “prizes” painted onto the wall - at the top, a small sliver coloured black, with a skull and crossbones. 

Hiroko spun the wheel as hard as she could, and slowly it nudged just past the skull. Phew right? In the next moment, a large creaking sound could be heard. The wheel came loose from the wall, and began to careen around the room, banging off the walls, when soon, it met its target.

Run over by the over-sized wheel, her body was impaled on a number of the pegs surrounding the outside, a loud crunching sound heard as they collided.
