Post #2714136 in Arc 4, a roleplay on RPG

Kurogane Technical Institute - 1:00 PM

Kurogane's Security Building was located on a separate building from the actual institute. It was disguised as a small, bungalow type building on campus that also doubles as a supply room and guard's quarters. Security personnel do not really supervise the cameras 24/7 but one only needs to ask for the footage from certain rooms and timeframes and they will gladly provide it.

Especially in cases of emergency.

Makoto was scouring through footage after footage--a task that was very difficult considering he had to check several rooms, hallways and floors. To narrow down the times, he started checking footage starting at around 10:00, considering almost all of them heard Tatara Isuko scream as she fell.

The rooms in the HRM building didn't show anything out of the ordinary. Occupied rooms had classes, unoccupied ones only had a few people mingling and taking advantage of the airconditioning units. All Makoto saw was regular routine until one of the cameras snagged the falling body of Tatara Isuko and the rest of the class went into disarray.

"Then, she must've fallen from the roof..." Makoto thought.

The problem was that there was no cameras on the rooftop itself. There was one on the 12th floor hallway but it doesn't peer into the staircase itself. However, the blind spot here is a little small so it can somehow see who was coming and going. It caught both him and the vice-president Taichi, heading up then down earlier in the morning but both of these occurred before Tatara Isuko fell. Tatara Isuko herself only went up around 12:00 PM--both he, the vice president and three other male students have already gone down then.

"Damn! No luck..." Makoto cursed under his breath. He doesn't have the mental capacity to think about this incident. The security personnel asked him if that was all he needed to see.

"Yeah. Ah, but can you prepare a copy of all the footage today? I'm sure the cops would want to see it as well."

His task done, Makoto leaves the Security Building.

Kurogane Technical Institute - 3:00 PM

Listening in to both gang members made Kazenari perk up. The ambulance had already arrived earlier along with the police. Regular classes were suspended for the day and the HRM students and faculty were all subjected to questioning and investigation.

After being questioned and redirecting the police to the Security Building, Kazenari was able to break away and approach both Kujo and Hayato.

"If it doesn't bother you, I would like to continue this conversation elsewhere. The Sagittarius. 3rd Floor in Emerald Gardens. I'll be there at 6 if you want to push through with your own investigation." Kazenari whispers to Hayato before disappearing among the crowd finished with questioning and headed home.

Just as Kazenari left, Makoto returned after his long absence. Tatara's body was already wheeled away and from the looks of it, the rest were allowed to head home. He saw Nagisa, Kujo and Hotaru and immediately went over to them.

"Anyone see Arai-san? Cops wants us to clear the place once questioning is done. We should all head home for now."

He noticed something peculiar upon seeing Nagisa and Kujo though.

"Nobuyuki-san, Makinami-san...where's Hirabayashi-san?" Makoto asks, looking for their visiting resident.

8th Street - 3:15 PM

"Yay! Glad that's all over with!" Kazuya breathed a sigh of relief as he and Akeno walked out of the school. The whole chore thankfully didn't take too long and they were soon walking on their way back to the dorm. En route, Kazuya espied an arcade that had recently opened near the edge of school.

"Whoah! Akeno-chan look!" Kazuya pointed at the arcade. "Bet there's a lot of cool prizes to win over there! Ah! That crane game looks like it has great offerings!" He took Akeno's hand and practically led her inside.

"Hey, do you have anything you want? Believe it or not, I'm quite handy with these kinds of consoles!" Kazuya proudly steps up to the machine.

8th Street - 3:00 PM

"I'm not that surprised at all considering this is the cheapest car among the five he owns. Technically, this was to be given to me but as you can see, I'm no driver." Kirika explains, unintentionally declaring a fraction of their wealth to their temporary helper.

They arrived at the warehouse Kirika pointed at. It wasn't hard to find considering the other establishments were all new and chic places while it remained looking rather old with some paint peeling off the gates and walls.

"Let's go. It shouldn't take too long."
