Another Dead Body

Kiryu was not going to listen. He really was going to kill her, which made something in her heart drop. It was as though she had lost all sense of time, and this was a moment that was either a new beginning or a very ultimate end. Kiryu had reached into his pocket, which set of Lorielle’s alarm bells, until one other girl from the student council spoke up. She was in her class as well. It was as though she did not know that the ninja Scarlet in question was capable of murder at that very moment. Were they seriously ignoring this? Or were they seriously out for her blood? Or both? Regardless, after Kiryu responded, she would look to the girl. “It’s called playing up an image. I wanted to be on the good side of a woman who came from the ceiling, had two real swords, spoke some silly nonsense that she very well could have meant for everyone in that room, and destroyed a telephone with no problem, then proceeded to fly out the window. How does acting friendly to her make me out to be an accomplice? The Killer could have been acting scared, or confused, or any other kind of emotion to hide themselves. To just say acting nice makes me to be an accomplice is just an arbitrary claim with no real reason or proof,” she said.

She would have gone on, but when Kiryu spoke to Daiki after hearing his words, she would give him a look of disbelief, trying her hardest to remain calm, even as this boy was annoying her. “So now I’m a witch and a harlot? You spared no moment trying to slander me; you really AREN’T giving me a fair chance, you just want to find every excuse to persecute and find me guilty by your own standards. You say logic will not help me but here you are, “logically” deducing possibilities with little base. Look at-” she would say before the door would suddenly burst open to reveal Zong Wu, and many cops, along with detective Keryu, who would rush past them and smack Keryu across his face; who did not seem too shaken up by it all. Lorielle did not have much time to feel happy at his expense, and was more relieved that Zong Wu was there, most likely the one who broke through. The one girl that spoke to her remained as the council followed Kiryu when he left, and Keryu would inspect the body before telling everyone to leave except for Lorielle, to which she nodded to her.

She almost wanted to cry. It was so upsetting the very idea that she could have died here, and the relief that she received when she was more or less saved almost caused her to weep. But she held it in. She would keep a close awareness on the other students if any remained while speaking to Keryu, asking if she knew why her name was in blood. Lorielle would shake her head, with a light gloomy look. “Maybe the culprit put it down? I showed up at the scene. I didn’t kill Mako, but maybe it was put there to frame me? Maybe, cause it worked…” she said growing a light frown on her face. Her mood and spirit was at the moment, practically crushed. She would look at Keryu. “I am probably going to be taken in to be questioned aren’t I?” she would ask, and nod if the answer was yes. She had to get the suspicion off of her. It was even worse that now the cops could be keeping watch over her, along with students and the Killer. There had to be something she could do. All she did was argue, and Kiryu would never have been convinced anyway. Could she have summoned her Persona if he actually tried to kill her? Or would she have been too scared? She did not want to think about it.

“Let’s hope the police figure out this murder before another one can happen then. I’ll remember that you threatened to kill me for the future though. If I die, I guess we’ll know who to blame.” Daiki was actually not n the mood to deal with Kiryu much longer. He wasn’t listening to reason and was blinded by his rage at this point. At least Lorielle caught the way he was speaking about her and knew she didn’t have to take it. Pretty women shouldn’t ever have to put up with that, “But I’ll make sure to be on my guard around you.” As the door was finally forced open, he could only feel relief well up inside of him. He didn’t want to have to keep putting up with the president’s stubborn ways for much longer. Apparently, neither did one of the women who walked in, as she slapped him across the face. Strangely, he didn’t seem to be phased by this, as he walked away without a word. He didn’t have any desire to follow after, considering what just happened, but the newly arrived detective made it clear that she wanted the rest of the students gone. He shrugged, “Well, Lorielle, I really hope you can handle yourself. Prove your innocence, okay?” With those words, he would leave with the rest of the student body.

[Feel free to skip me this round. Since it would just be Jin looking and observing what's happening.]

Lorielle would willingly follow her to the station without any kind of resistance. There was not much else she could do. What could she tell her at the station? Thoughts would jumble through her head as she thought of what she might ask her. What did she have left to lose or gain from all this? She would keep a gloomy face on her as she was escorted to the station.
