Nothing is here, but the remains of the last murder, once more.

Have A Nice Day [Xue]

The inspiration for this particular prank came to them on the way back from the trial. While a wholly inappropriate time and place to consider such things, they simply couldn’t let this one go. It was just too good. But they didn’t show their hand immediately, oh no. They waited, and they planned, and stood watching for the right time. Which wasn’t too long after the trial, honestly. Their timing is either impeccable or completely atrocious, though which this is is left up to interpretation.

This prank is one that’s going to leave no doubt as to who did it, but hey, sneakiness isn’t everything, you know? Sometimes the satisfaction of the prank is enough, and in this case, they certainly feel it will be.

They’d raided the snack room well in advance, keeping their goods in the safest, driest place they could think of: their hair. Hey, whatever worked, right? And it had worked before. Except, you know, when they were in the shower. They’d hidden them elsewhere for that time. From there, they’d bided their time until what they’d seen as the perfect moment, one night when they arrived to their room before Xue.

Aha! Ahaha! Moderately damp was preferable to absolutely soaked, and so they’d swooped right in, quickly removing the cookies from their hair and then from the bag (did you think they’d just put crumbly cookies directly into their hair?), eyeing one of them contemplatively before throwing back the covers on Xue’s part of the bunk bed.They deposit the cookies there, spreading them out evenly. Xue seems to head into everything recklessly, so this will probably be the same?

They’re pulling the blankets back  up, just like they were, when they hear footsteps approaching the door to their room. But, like the true prankmaster they are, their heart doesn’t skip a beat. Instead, they scramble up to the top bunk and stretch out, as if they’d been there all along. What were they doing? Well. That doesn’t matter. With bated breath they wait for Xue to enter the room.
