Duelist Institute: A Slice of Life Yugioh RP

"....What kind of pictures?"

She starts idly bouncing the kendo stick against her palm.

Joshua looked up at Savio and chuckled. "Mindful? I keep an eye on everyone, I guess, but I'm hardly as, uh, involved as Nina or Serena tend to be. It certainly lends itself towards a more relaxed dorm. I guess that's part of the attitude difference between technicians and performers, I guess. What's up?" He grinned. "Looking to add another loss to your record?"

Damian Rose walked alone through the park closest to his dorm, glancing around idly as he waited for anything interesting to happen. He was bored and caught up on most of his homework and needed something to distract him before he began doing things that would embarrass his family. He was a hedonist at heart and was always looking for a thrill, whether that be a high-stakes duel or a pretty girl.

"If I did it certainly wouldn't be a loss to you, but I'm afraid the chance to make you eat those words is not today. I'm planning on meeting Jon over in the park by Hawkins to tag duel some folks, Double Gladiator-style. Hopefully we'll find some people who can put up a good fight, but we'll see how it goes."

Joshua grinned. "I'll try and stop by with Juliette before we head out for the weekend. Hey, if anything happens while I'm gone and should be handling it, be a friend and make sure Jon doesn't try and impersonate me? ... Again?"

“Y'know,” Amani said, pointing at Chris' kendo stick, “that's a Japanese thing. I didn't expect a Frenchwoman to study one of the Ways of Old. Heh, I sound like mom.” She chuckled at herself, then became serious again. “Honestly, Nina, anything you can tell us will be helpful at this point. Unless Artemis wants to prove her superiority by going over the whole list one-by-one, that is.”

"Well when your born into Nobility and have a shitton of money you get bored easily. I started with Medieval European Martial Arts then branched out."

"Now if Nina here could just tell me exactly what kind of picture this guy left behind I can gauge how hard to hit him."

Nina shook her head. "It's a very inappropriate picture!"

"..."

Chris's kendo was gripped so hard you could hear the bamboo crunch.

"Oh he's dead."

Savio smirked. "Oh, I wouldn't want to have your weekend start off with a loss, now would I? That'd just be a mood-killer."

He stood up and stretched. "And don't worry, I'll make sure nobody thinks he's you."

Heading downstairs, he dumped off his backpack in his dorm. Making sure his Duel Disk was on his arm, he headed back outside, giving Josh a quick salute on the way back. Exiting the building, he cut across the lawn, heading toward the Sciences building.

The tip of Artemis's lips curled into a smile as she heard Amani reference her superiority, but it was only barely visible, and was gone in the blink of an eye.

"Requesting permission to check your room."

Nina turned bright red. "Why do you want to see it? It's so gross!"

—-

Jonathan was stretching himself out in the park, waiting for Savio to arrive. "Is nobody man enough for a tag duel?" He taunted people. "Bear witness to the glory of two expert Tiger White duelists working in tandem!"

Artemis tilted her head in confusion. "Your room? We're all girls here, why does it matter?"

"I... I thought you meant the pictures," Nina said. "You're welcome to look in my room."

"Then I shall." Artemis said as she walked down the hall and opened the door to Nina's unlocked room. There was the first thing she noticed.

"Was the lock always like this?" She asked, pointing to a lock that seems to have been broken.

"No," Nina said. "I always lock it, especially if I'm gone for more than a day. I checked the cameras already, but the way they're angled, you can't see the last three doors on either side of the hallway, so I can't exactly go around accusing people who might have just been visiting their friends." She gestured into the room. "I, uh... tried to get rid of a lot of the pictures, but there were a ton. I'm sure there's plenty I missed."

Inside, the room was a little bigger and nicer than the rest of the Turtle Black rooms, and had a comfortable-looking double bed in the middle. A nightstand next to it had some pictures of Nina with her father in uniform, and a stand with the medals that had been defaced.

The inappropriate pictures are scattered throughout the room, and there were dozens of them. The trashcan next to Nina's bathroom was overflowing with the ones she had already gathered up and thrown away, as well.

So they entered from this side of the hallway... Artemis pondered to herself as she walked in.

"To be honest, it's a good thing you didn't get rid of the pictures yet. There could be important clues." Artemis said as she bent over a trashcan and picked up one of the pictures.

There were a variety of lewd photos in the trashcan. Some were obviously from disreputable websites, while others were from magazines hidden under someone's bed. However, there were a few that seemed to be "homemade" of someone who was quite obviously a boy in varying states of undress, all without a visible face. He was fair skinned, and... probably blonde, if the curtains matched the drapes. In one photo, he seemed to be defiling the medals, as well.

"Classy..." Artemis muttered as she analyzed the pictures. Male, blonde, and white... Although we can't tell what dorm he's in...

"Judging by these crudely taken pictures, it seems the perpetrator was alone. Maybe he was part of our dorm after all." Artemis put a finger to her chin in thought. "Nina, how many boys in our dorm match what's revealed in this photo here, being blonde, white, and thin?"

Nina turned and faced the door while she thought, trying to ignore the photos scattered throughout her room. "Um... excluding the high school students... we have 97 male students in Turtle Black's college floor. Twenty... three? I think we have twenty-three blonds. Most of them are in shape, though. I can only definitively say six or so of them wouldn't be thin enough to be the... perpetrator."

Seth stretched and looked at his watch. Spending an extended period of time in the library working on personal research into draw technique isn't how most would spend an afternoon after classes, but Seth was rather bored with the high school courses he was taking, and the Hawkins library allowed him to gain exposure to college level material. After he gathered his piles of notes and such back into his bag, he sighed, realizing that due to his productive actions, he had done nothing really fun today. He hoped something would pop up that would keep him from walking back to his dorm. He then slung his bag over his shoulder, the leather messenger bag sitting comfortably at his hip.

Leaving from the west entrance of the library, Seth took a look into the park on his left. He noticed an associate there, and as he walked over he yelled out, "Damian! What are you up to?"

"Eh, not much really. Just bored as hell looking for something to do, you know?" Damian replied, before grinning as he heard Johnathan's catcalls, "Hmm, a tag duel against a couple of Tigers, wanna join me?"

Chris picked up some photos and looked through them in disgust.

"Ugh. Misogynistic pig. Maybe I should get my real sword..."

Artemis crossed her arms and closed her eyes in thought. "So we have around seventeen suspects that match the physical description. Let's try to narrow it down further by discussing motive. Of those seventeen, can you think of anybody that might have some sort of resentment towards you?"

"Not... Not really," Nina said. "I mean, other than being the head girl..."
