Hm. Next up, she's going to ask Chiaki and the other members of the art club if they knew where Hiro typically hung out whenever he was ditching class or club, or if they had any clues whatsoever as to his whereabouts during that time.

[ Oh. Do you ever feel instant regret in punching something but not for any moral reason? It's like squashing a bug and now you have bug guts all over your hand and it's gross, that's the sort of face Chiaki makes. ]

Bad luck is trying to cut ties with that stupid Satan club. Do you think we've never thought about it?

Hiro is part of the science club, not art, but members of both clubs say that if they're trying to find him at any given time there's a good bet that he's in the library, taking advantage of the quiet to sleep. Usually he choses somewhere out of the way to nap, and like Maya, doesn't have a large enough presence for people to pay enough attention to them and definitely say where he was/what he was doing.

[ why is komaeda so disgusting. izumi's not sure if he should pity the guy or help him up on his feet. he'll at least try to unbuckle the collar around his neck though, to help komaeda catch his breath. ]

Well, there's got to be a way! I'm not giving up my blood for anything until I know what the hell's going on. [ huffs! ] At least tell us what the sacrifices are for. Cults usually revolve around some god, right?

[ he doesn't... believe in gods... but cults were a thing in yumenosaki so he'd like to know more, thanks ]

( he wants to DIE what do you expect! which... thank you sena-kun... for being so kind, of course, while he tries, komaeda will reach up to grab his wrist. it's fine, he's actually been through worse. )

It's their hope, Sena-kun...

( he points out again, clearing his throat as he releases the idol's hand and sits down on the floor proper, criss-crossed. ) We can't look at what they're doing as bad, unless it's needless as despair...

( but this isn't what they need to talk about. ) If it's killing just to kill, it has to be dealt with. ( so it does come down to what izumi said. ) Who has been the sacrifices so far?

Don't know.

[ Roku~n lowers himself onto the floor like they're some sort of lunch group sitting in a circle in front of the vending machines, cracking open his can but not taking a sip. ]

Nothing good's going to come out of going in too deep with those people, so the less we know, the better. [ They could be gutting chicken for all he knows, and that's how it's going to stay. Whose blood it is, what all this is for, the people who would know are the ones in the cult—- and he's not about to suggest either of them talk to the cult members. ]

And we're not taking your blood, so calm down, Izumi. Just worry about graduating, don't get involved in all of this.

[ this doesn't even have to be a thread either, but during one of those days where figaro needs to take a little nap in the clinic, he'll give her a bottle of coffee milk as thanks for accommodating his selfish request. complete with a charming wink, of course ;) ]

Whoops, my bad.

One more question: is there any period of time where Maya regularly practices, alone, in the music room? (I'm really hoping there is because if that is the case we can hopefully bring this all to a conclusion soon >.>)

Theoretically, yes— she's in student council and the music club, and the survivalist club uses the music clubroom on the other days, so there may be one day a week where she's alone in the room after classes, but since club schedules aren't down on paper (I don't want to be so nitpicky about club dates and force people to thread that they're in X club on X, X, and X days of the week only) it's sort of up in the air. What were you thinking for this question?

We discussed it in DMs, so now for my next question: if Ritsuka asks around to see if anybody else has been snooping in weird ways like she has, will she turn up anything?

[ Nooooooooooo cute, she accepts the bottle of coffee milk and suggests the two of them going out for coffee after school someday even if she knows it'll never happen, let a girl dream. ]

The general consensus is that nobody is weirder about snooping than Ritsuka is, haha. If there are people asking around or digging into things, it's done a lot subtler.

[ NOOOOOOOO LET HIM TREAT YOU RIGHT QUEEN ;_; he'll wait for you........... ]

Yeah, yeah. My blood is too good for something as shady as that anyway.

[ enstars event where they have to do a bloodletting drive let's goooooo

but it seems that neither chiaki or rokku~n are budging, so it seems that they've reached a dead end? unless komaeda has something else to add. the guy's a lot more perceptive than he looks, loathe as izumi is to admit it.

oh wait, there is one more - ]

Just one more thing. Do you think the blood they've been using is the same one found in the water systems?

Why do you say it like that, Sena-kun? Explain it thoroughly.

( he looks to both chiaki and rokyu~n (hehe get it) and with a smile, he adds onto izumi's statement. )

There's a body in the pipes, and there might be more...

( now if there's a copious amount of deceased bodies in there, then that's a problem, but nothing they can help. the idea is... do they dispose of the bodies that they get blood out of into the sewers or what... ) Are they responsible for that too since... throwing away bodies seems complicated in a place like this. ( it's true, considering someone dumped one with a donation note on it. )

There's a WHAT!!?

[ Chiaki squeals and draws back, head whipping towards Izumi because he wouldn't joke?? Roku~n looks just as startled, but it's Chiaki who plows forward, looking from Izumi to Komaeda with newfound suspicion. ]

Aiko-san's body? Is that where she went?? Ohhhhhhhhhh my god. [ she breaths into her hands ] Oh my god.

[ JUST

THIS ICON ]

You guys didn't know?! That's what we've been trying to find out this entire time! What, do you think I was just bugging about her because I like her or something?

[ help ]

Haha, a body has been discovered.

( is izumi... not going to say it's not her body? because komaeda's not going to say it either. that's not what they're here to talk about. )

When was this school built? We might be able to understand the floorplan better. ( and maybe see... if there's another level to this place? guys.. how the fuck do bodies get in the pipes. ) And see who else we can find.

Can you shut your mouth?!

[ Chiaki goes over to where Komaeda is sitting and shoves him over. ]

WHY IS AIKO'S BODY IN THE PIPES?? What the fuck!

[ WE ARE NOT MOVING ON FROM THIS, HELLO??????? WHY DO YOU GUYS KNOW THIS?? WHY IS THIS SUPPOSED TO BE COMMON KNOWLEDGE??????? ]

[ THIS KOMAEDA ABUSE HELP izumi's going to uh, get behind chiaki and try to pry her off him?! holy shit ]

Stop! It's not her body, all right?! Calm the fuck down!!

[ NOT HIS PRIORITIES BEING OUTTA WACK AS USUAL! ROKKU~N HELP ]

( WHY IS HE ALWAYS ATTACKED. it's ok this bad luck will give him GOOD LUCK... JUST WAIT. )

Should it have been her body? If you're quick to draw those conclusions...

( WHY DOES CHIAKI WANT HER BODY IN THE FUCKING PIPES HELP. )

THERE'S A SECOND BODY???

[ OOOOOOOOOHH MY GOD WHY IS THIS she can't even be happy about Izumi pulling her back because HOLY FUCK WHY WOULD THERE BE MORE THAN ONE BODY she's crying, I'm crying, Roku~n's just staring at this trainwreck unsure of what to do or say because

???

"calm down, there are two dead people instead of one"

?????????? ]

I told you to calm! Down! Kudo!!

[ he keeps tugging at her but also he's like how come komaeda isn't so affected from getting attacked like a wild animal? is this some kinda birds of the same flock situation?? anyway - ]

How come you didn't bat an eye from all that blood talk earlier, huh? Did you think the cult had gotten all that blood from anyone who's generous enough to donate on the fly like what I was gonna do?! That's bullshit!

( it's called GETTING USED TO IT???? damn... listen, he's serious about this, and he doesn't mind her mauling, and she only shoved him. that's not so bad!! and damn he talking to her like a dog, could not be komaeda — even though he has the leash on. )

That is odd now that you speak on it Sena-kun, she can't really be squeamish or she'd never use their blood.

( looking towards izumi trying to hold chiaki down, he looks towards roku~n to see if he can answer their question. )

Hey, they can't give you that blood for free, and you mentioned "sacrifices," does that mean you're giving up students from the art room? ( he pauses, thoughtful. ) Is that why you thought that's where her body went, because they dispose of them in the pipes?

( listen, he's just saying this shit out of his ass, sometimes you gotta speak mumbo jumbo to catch them slipping. )

[ Can't slip if you're too busy wailing in your hands— also taking advantage of Izumi's close proximity to cling to his arm for comfort even if he's yelling at her. ]

Are you two listening to yourselves?? There's a difference between a cup or two of blood you can safely get from somebody, and a WHOLE ASS BODY YOU'RE TELLING ME IS STUFFED INTO THE PIPES!!

[ They came here asking about one dead person and then brought up dead people in pipes?? look, she just be putting two and two together, okay

Roku~n pats her on the back, hoping she'll calm down a little, but he looks thoughtful too. "It can't be the cult, if it's bleeding into the water," he says hesitantly, because they owe that blood to the art club? what a waste. Cult corpses would be entirely drained of blood, thanks. ]
