[Morning, Strangers! There's no sun shining, there're no birds singing, the threat of memory loss hangs in the air, and--oh.




That sure is a trail of blood in the D Deck hallway where the bedrooms are. But. I'm sure it's nothing, right?








Right??????!!?]

Someone made a mess of the weapon room, and left bulletholes in the wall that look like they could be from a handgun. There's also a knife missing from the rack.

Immediately upon entering the infirmary, I found a sword covered in blood on the floor, along with a packet of medication for nausea. All of the pills had been crushed for some reason.

There were also some blood spatters on the lower cabinets that looked like someone had attempted to clean them up but hadn't been able to finish the job. In the trash I found a vial that seems like it may have had some sort of poison in it... judging by the smell, my best guess would be cyanide.

There was even more blood on the bed and the floor beside it, but that's not the strangest thing. Despite the fact that there was enough blood on the floor to kill someone from the blood loss, the person got up and walked out of the room into the hallway and towards the laundry.

D AND E DECK HALLWAYS (3 clues)

Blood trail between D and E deck

[ As always, there's a bunch of pictures here alongside Roland's usual neat writing. ]

An unexpected weapon - This was used to strangle Zack, wrapped around his neck.
Only One Person - I'm truly sorry, but this looks to be Akane's? Please tell me i'm wrong...
Torn off? - Whatever kept this fastened has been torn off somehow but i'm not sure how it happened.
Source of the gunshot wounds - There's a handgun that was in Zack's hand, though I doubt he inflicted those injuries all on himself.
Something was written in blood - Zack wrote out these letters by hand before he died, as if he were trying to leave us a final message.
An unusual footprint - This one's odd. It's like someone dragged their foot to make this kind of footprint.
Something in the Washer Someone was trying to wash something but it never was dried
Pink Fluid - The washer had a lot of this odd stuff in it. I'll be bringing some of it with me to trial. It's sweet, a bit vinegar-y but also slightly bitter!
A bloody Towel - With the state of this towel? It looks like it was used to wipe up a fair bit of blood from somewhere.
