[Sora does look at the weapons up close! Nothing about her seems to hint she's knowledgeable in the slightest, though. She's staring at the weapons with the same gaze you'd have when checking, I don't know, pottery in a museum. This isn't a warrior surveying anything]
I can think of some who will be glad this room exists. [She turns her head towards Owner] Will you be among those, Mr. Owner?

I am not much of a fighter, no. But I do enjoy watching others do so. It can be sort of like watching a dance.
[ fight choreography can be just as elegant as ballet, he thinks. ]
And it is a good way to make sure people learn some basic self-defense.

That is true. There's something nice in seeing how people who know what they're doing do.
[Instead of amateurs who just would wag swords around to try to intimidate the opponent, like something out of a bad martial arts movie]
Tools to learn self-defense may be useful, but without someone to teach they're likelier to get injured while trying to learn.
[She doubts self-defense and fighting are the kind of thing you can learn by yourself. Nodd is the only one she has seen who perhaps would be willing to teach others, but it's not like Nodd can handle teaching thirty-something people!
Well, there's also Blade but Sora can't really imagine Blade being all that eager to teach self-defense]

I know of at least two people who are willing, and one made himself a public offer. And I am sure others may also do so...
[ he lowers his voice, like he's sharing a secret, but what comes out is fairly normal. ]
I am not sure if you noticed, but the people here are overly eager to help.

[Sora laughs upon that last part]
They do. It's quite charming, isn't it? I'm fond of them.
[Sora doesn't consider herself helpful because although she does help several people, she sees it more as an obligation, instead of a thing she does out of sincerity. A little fake, perhaps, but in the end if it leads to something good then what's the harm]

It speaks volumes of them, at least. We could have been in a very different situation if the group of people were less kind.

Mr. Gregor did comment to me something along those lines, especially when it comes to trials -- that he was surprised they weren't ending in more people dead than just the victims.
We really might be softer than some are used to.

I suppose it may be that none of the deaths seem actually malicious, once we get more information on it. Someone having their reasoning messed with, or illnesses escalated, isn't quite something that I'd consider their fault.

That pattern probably won't hold together forever. Statistically speaking, I'd say it's likely at least one person among us will take the chance to attack because they want to.
[Sora is ready to find out someone here is an active serial killer]

[ hi sora.

Good morning.

Good morning.
[Sora still is reading the final thoughts of the deceased, her face somewhat melancholic, just walking while she reads. Hearing someone, she looks up]
Good morning, Mr. Owner.
[She turns off the I.R.I.S]
No rest for the wicked, is there?
[Two dead. Our work never ceases -- and unlike Luke, it's very unlikely either of the victims died from natural causes, unless it turns out, like, Sidon didn't get in the showers and dehydrated. Fish raisin.
But since that's unlikely...seems like the trial will be quite tiring]

Apparently not! We are going to be quite busy tomorrow, considering how busy we are by just solving one.
[ it usually takes them almost the full nine hours. ]
And quite a lot of areas are closed down.

And quite a lot of areas are closed down.
Will we really have the time to examine every closed off area? We have had difficulties handling just three, and here there are six now.
[Don't worry, Sora, mods have it under control. it'll all work out]
That armory truly was bad news. Perhaps that should be a starting point, to narrow down the weapon as soon as possible.
[She's absolutely convinced any weapon used last night must have come from there. Where else but from the literal weapon trove?]

It really isn't a surprise that it immediately came up as a location. I wonder if you can take the items out of there?
[ since you can apparently take the knives out of the kitchen during murder night. ]
[ since you can apparently take the knives out of the kitchen during murder night. ]
I tested it once. It ended up magnetized, so no taking weapons whenever the systems are active and working. It probably works the same as the galley and allows you to take knives when everyone is asleep.
That's an assumption from me, though -- it's not as if I have seen by myself if during Thursday nights the safety mechanisms don't work anymore. For all I know, it was still active, but I see no reason to hope otherwise.

Well, unless you are the one awake after the rest of us are asleep, you likely won't be able to test that.
If we catch the killer we can maybe just ask.

Have you noticed if anyone else has been acting off lately? Perhaps in a way that could be manipulated into killing?
[Scien and Eunhyuk had something that made them easy targets for that. It's likely someone else was vulnerable in that same way]

Not really, no. But no one really noticed anything about the others either, so it is hard to say.
[Sora has to take a moment to rub her face, frustrated. Gosh, this is nightmarish...]
Please let there not be any weird tangents right from the start...
[TOUGH LUCK SORA IT IS GUARANTEED THERE WILL BE it is a murdergame tradition pretty much]

Oh, there probably will be! Unfortunately, we lose things to discuss while waiting for people to return from investigating, especially in the first few hours.
As long as it is a better topic than last week, at least.

Well, the issue is that we won't actually know if that's the case or not until we actually catch the person. Even guessing by the crime scene isn't really enough-- the ones we've seen so far looked fairly violent, after all.
[ another trial!

I'll have to ask this straightforward: does the result bring you some kind of satisfaction?
[...even though Sora has that slight smile, she seems very tense. She's not fond of how things turned out, at all]
I know it's a harsh question, but I do have to wonder if someone in this ship is glad about any of this.
[Not that she'll truly judge anyone who says yes. To each their own]

My, what a question! You really don't hold any punches.

Well, we solved it.
