April 9th

April 9th, 2012, early

It was a humid morning, and only the second week of school. A fine mist of rain clouded the sky, doing nothing against the damp heat that had invaded Eizou Academy’s campus. Beyond the misty and annoying weather, it was also irritatingly early! Students milled about from the main gates, slowly heading towards their campus buildings (it could be quite a walk, most had to arrive a wee bit early). Umbrella’s seemed to do nothing against the rain, but staff and students alike tried to use them regardless.

A scream sounded out, from the cluster of buildings that all the elementary and junior high students were headed toward. It was quite a distance away from the Highschool section, and the clouds and mist dulled the sound. Sirens, blaring through the morning air, pierced the quiet created by the mist. Where were those headed?

That exact thought filtered though Miho Tanaka’s head fifteen minutes later. She could see flashing lights of a police car, and probably an ambulance, from out of the front door’s of the Highschool building. The light filtered through the thickening mist, as the rain started to gradually turn into a downpour. The school seemed eerily quiet, and everyone’s attention seemed to be drifting out toward the elementary buildings. What happened?

Two girls entered, whispering in low fast voices to one another.

“Did you hear? A teacher jumped.”

“I heard she was pushed! The impact broke her neck.”

“I heard she splattered all over the concrete…”

“But we still have to go to class today? Jeez!”

"Mouu, I bet everyone in junior high will get the day off today. This is so unfair.."


Miho frowned slightly at the passing conversation, gaze drifting from the two gossiping girls out towards the lights in the distance. A jumper, huh…?

((NOTE: About half an hour after this initial post, the PA system comes on - everyone is informed they get the day off.))

Seiya stared at the gathering from under her umbrella, an officer in full uniform standing right at her side. She bowed her head, unable to look at the scene. On a day like this, the last thing on her mind was answering questions.

"I told you, I didn't see anything."

"Miss Yamada," the officer tapped his pen on the notepad in his other hand, "you know I can't let you go to class until I receive your statement."

Seiya raised a brow, but seemed mostly disinterested. She had simply been smoking behind the building one minute, and the next a teacher lay dead on the ground. She shook her head, running her fingers through her bangs with a frustrated huff. "I said I saw nothing."

Surama wasn't anywhere near when the whole incident occured --but as being one of the staff, she felt it was almost her responsibility to check up on the situation. It wasn't as if the other teachers weren't nosey, so she assumed she could get away with it. That's what she would tell herself, regardless, as her true concerns were mostly about a particular student.

"Excuse me, Officer." she interrupted the investigation, flashing her identification briefly so that she wasn't almost instantly dismissed as some other student. A hand was placed upon Seiya's shoulder, a look on her face like she was determined to rescue her underling.

"This is my student, and I would appreciate it if you could please allow her to leave," a heavy hint of worry was imbedded in her voice, "If she is late for class then it will be me who will be held responsible. Surely you can do some questioning later? It is not as if you are getting much out of her now. You understand, I'm sure."

She remained as polite and professional as possible, although assertive, rubbing her student's upper back in a manner to comfort her. Sort of like saying, subtly, 'Everything will be okay'.

Seiya's gaze turned upwards as she felt a hand on her shoulder. Another pig in uniform here to save the day? Ah, no. Surama. Her eyes brightened slightly, indicating her gratitude. The officer, however, wasn't too impressed.

"Just doing my job, ma'am." He took a few notes, sizing both Seiya and Surama up. "We'll send her to class after the head detective speaks with her."

Rolling her eyes, Seiya narrowed her eyes. "I told you and your friend exactly what I saw; nothing."
