7 AM
(MOCK WEEK INVESTIGATION)

[The storm outside still rages on, several hours later.

Even though it is no longer night, it might as well be with the clouds, which have started to take on strange colors within their shadows. It is not comforting to know that the sun will probably not be out today. Nor is it comforting to know that the threat of death still hangs low on everyone.

Sleep was likely hard to get, for those who weren't trying to look deeper into the plane's secrets and truths, and whatever sleep was received was just not enough. Everyone is tired, cranky, angry, scared, and on edge, while the snakes continue to be an ever-present threat.

So, as 7 am comes, and people begin to move again, or at least move elsewhere, trying to be mindful of the snakes.

One of your number has already died, along with three hostages.

Will there be more to come?

There is only one way to find out.]

[Well, this doesn't feel good. Kokoro starts towards the duty-free shop to see if anything changed.]

[ He got... maybe a couple of hours? Maybe. He wasn't paying attention to his phone.

Anyway, he's heading out of his room, for now. ]

[ Indeed whatever sleep he did get had been minimal, but now that he was up, there was something uneasy settled in the pit of his stomach. Trying to fix his hair a little, Atsushi left his room and headed toward the nearest area to get some food - or at least a drink - nothing to really see here yet, right? ]

[How are you planning on getting there, Kokoro? Up on the first floor, or the second?]

[Well, nearest to the Kings Cabins would be the King's Cabin d'hote service near the front of the plane.

Aside from food, there is thankfully nothing that would immediately catch Atsushi's eye. He's all good.]

[All right then! Where to, Ren?]

[Beatrice obviously slept fitfully if at all. She hasn't showered (in a plane full of snakes?? That would be ruled a suicide, clearly) or changed clothes, and she's starting to look the worse for it.]

[Needless to say, she's looking for caffeine and breakfast at this point. She arms herself with a taser and decides to forgo any hope of finding respectable tea here and go with something she doesn't mind having pre-brewed, looking for hot or brewable coffee in the d'hôte service at the aft of King Class

[Sleep? What a funny joke! Kedamono sure didn't get any of that last night!

Part of him feels like this is just asking for trouble at this point, but he keeps finding bodies there, so Kedamono is going to investigation point F again. He didn't really have the time to last night, so he's hoping to possibly move Ace's body to a more respectable place rather than the area where it could very likely be scavenged by snakes. Hopefully he won't run into anything too awful.]

[Beatrice seems to have had the same idea, and is busy trying to figure out what kind of coffee or coffee machine is available when Atsushi arrives.]

Good morning, I suppose.

Ah... good morning, Miss Beatrice.

[ He yawns slightly, intending to try and find something to eat but he's just a little distracted. ]

How are you doing?

[ First things first, the king class restroom to wash face and all other morning routine stuff. ]

This wasn't the worst night of my existence, and I'm starting to realize that speaks volumes about my experiences compared to average mortals.

And you?

I've... had better nights. Not even really sure how well I actually even slept.

[ The exhaustion shows on his face all the same, but he tries to put on a small smile to cover that up. ]

After eating... I was thinking maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to check up on everyone and see how they fared overnight.

[There are still a lot of snakes, but they are more interested in the leis still on the dead people than with Ace.

For now, you can get him away from there.]

[Well, have fun washing up there, then!]

[Alright, then he'll just carry/drag Ace's body...the carte service that's just around the corner. It seems like a nice place. Surely there's nothing bad there!]

That's not a bad idea at all. There was a lot of time for something to happen while we were trying to rest.

[Hex hasn't slept, though given what she is...there's debate if that's because of stress, or just because she's a computer program. By 7, she's decided to maybe make herself helpful to the people who get their energy from food. Anything amiss in the King Class kitchen?]

Yeah. That's what worries me a little.

[ Especially considering there's a couple people in specific he'd like to check up on first. Such as Yurick and Hiyori. So with that in mind, he finds something small that he can snack on and opens it up quickly. ]

Perhaps you'd like to join me when I do? Two pairs of eyes are better than one, a-after all.

Certainly. I'd prefer an extra pair of eyes if I'm going to do anything at this point, frankly.

[ Annnd after that, he's gonna be passing by the lounge bar. ]

[Let's try the first.]

I'm glad someone else has the right idea.

[ He does start eating what he'd grabbed; more of a simple little trail mix thing over anything else. Since it is quick and easy to get through. ]

There's a few people i'd like to check up on first and then maybe taking a look around the plane wouldn't hurt.

It might be prudent to arm yourself before we get started, if you haven't already.

[She gestures with her own taser.]

If nothing else, this should dissuade any snakes that have gotten hungry overnight.

[The "family luck", as he named the tendency of anyone even slightly a Belmont to be plagued by unlikely misfortune to Kokoro too few hours ago, can not be so bad that at just about 0700 there's a dead body in the King Class bathroom.

...it can't be, right? Right?!]
