oo6; a dire announcement.

[obfuskate]

[ Just a small text this time, but everyone in the academy better listen up. It's serious. Absolutely serious. ]

A former staff member of the academy, Miss GLaDOS, was found dead in Ferrothorn Park on Saturday, March 9th, at 1:13 AM. Signs of decay are imminent, suggesting that she has been there for some time. Her body has since been removed from the property and has been sent for autopsy.

There will be no further details given.

[ That's it. He's not about to drag any personal feelings into this, no matter how much it makes his gut wretch. ]

[OH...]

Could that have been the reason for her absence this entire time?

[HAHA...ha... He'd gone on about how irresponsible she was for leaving Vivian behind like that, but it wasn't a case of neglect after all. Now he feels like an ass. More importantly, how is Vivian herself going to take it? Would she even understand something like death?]

[obfuskate]

It very easily could have been. Her body looked as if it had been decaying for weeks. I saw it myself.

[ That is... pretty bad, yeah. You know what else is bad? He almost tells him that he was once pleased that she was gone. Now, he's not so certain.

Either way, Shadow promised himself not to get any dumb feelings involved for or against GLaDOS and the situation, and he is sticking to it. Not the time or the place. ]

No freakin' way!

[obfuskate]

Yes, yes way. [ He's not including the freakin'. Saying yes way at all is weird enough! ]

This is no joke. This is the unfortunate reality. You can check the obituaries.

[wheresmydamntea]

GLaDOS? You mean... Shit.

[obfuskate]

No, I don't mean shit. I mean a living being.

[ Okay, okay, he couldn't resist that much. ]

[Guess who doesn't believe this? Yeah, that's right.]

She'll be back.

[obfuskate]

[ Not surprising. ]

You don't understand. She was humanized. Charlise, an immortal ghost, was killed via her human form. This very well could apply to GLaDOS, as well. It also could not. The fact of the matter is that we don't know.

[video]

[numbercrunching]

Eh...? GLaDOS... She was the former lab monitor, wasn't she...?

...To think that she's... ...I'm really sorry to hear that.

[ text ]

[obfuskate]

[ Wow. Who is this? He hasn't seen this face around before. ]

Yes. She was. She was very powerful and a long-standing force in the academy. [ For better or for worse. ]

If she wasn't safe, no one is. Be on-guard.

[ voice ]

[roses_are_blue]

If...

[Garry bit his lip.]

...If we really aren't safe now, is there...anything we can do?

[This is turning into more emotional messes.]

I never met this teacher but...Shadow...

[He trailed off.]

[ text ]

[obfuskate]

[ Garry... ]

I... am not sure. All I can recommend is avoiding those drugged lollipops. Otherwise, apart from investigating the murders and getting to the bottom of them, there is not much more we can do.

...

I wish I had more to tell you.

[voice]

[trickroom]

Eeee~heeheeheehee!!

Who's next, who's next?! So much anguish and sadness... I'm about to... ...!

Cry. So sad.

[obfuskate]

Oh, yes, because this doesn't make you look suspicious at all. You would never be a suspect, no.

[ THIS FACE. ]

[Text because she's not able to talk about this]

[blazebottom]

I can't believe this is happening... Are... are we going to be okay? That's the second person from school that's... well... you know!

I'm sorry...

[obfuskate]

...

I wish I had a positive answer, but unfortunately, this killer is unpredictable. They could kill anyone.

Just be on the lookout, take every precaution possible, and avoid those lollipops.

[Noel took a long time to respond. GLaDOS may have been a dangerous person, but no one should deserve to die or have been caught in the crossfire of the recent violence in the city. Noel felt like she failed to act before this happened again. After collecting herself, she finally replied.]

So, that's why she disappeared so suddenly... I can't believe this happened again...

How can we stop it? Is there any way to make sure everyone will be safe?

[coruskate]

I can.

[ He just... can't believe it was GLaDOS. So much for the immortality she boasted. (What did that mean for his own?) ]

I'm going to repeat what I have been repeating hundreds of times. We must investigate anything related to the murder. That is all we can do. To make sure everyone is safe, the most I can recommend is standard precaution and avoiding the drugged lollipops.

[ He's getting tired of repeating that. ]

[iamtheeggman]

[Eggman had this face on ALL DAY.]

It couldn't have happened to a nicer person.

Doctor. I agree with your sarcastic remark, but this is not the time or the place.

[Upon discovering this announcement in his daily review of the school's online BBS, from his usual vantage point inside the school network's servers, it took him a rather long time before he was capable of posting a reply; most of this time was spent huddled inside his dorm, muttering to himself in an attempt to process what had happened, and talking it over with his girlfriend, who was still his go-to person for anything and everything which troubled him.

Only after he had decided once and for all that it wasn't his fault, that there was absolutely nothing he could have done to prevent it, and that he should focus his energy toward bringing the ones responsible to justice instead of wasting it worrying about all the things he might have been able to do if only he had been more suspicious about the lab monitor's disappearance... did he finally approach the word processing panel in his dorm to type out a reply to send to the BBS.]

Was this incident related to the violence going on in the city, sir?

[obfuskate]

Nothing that far is certain. It could be, but it could not be. The fact that there were lollipop sticks in the vicinity, however, is evidence to the former.

...

Pulse. Are you capable of inhabiting android bodies and bringing them back to life?

[ He'd hate to bring GLaDOS back, but if it got them the perp's identity, what did he have to lose? ]

[revivepartner]

...This is getting messier by the second.

[He's heard the news around, but have yet to act considering others are doing it already.

Still.]

[coruskate]

Figuratively and literally. Disposing of that body is not something I want to do again.

[ was gross, man ]

[will_be_god]

Decay? I was under the impression that she was an entirely artificial being.

[obfuskate]

... Her corpse, for one, is her human form. Secondly, it was mainly decay of the surrounding area, not her own body.

Don't babble about subjects you have no idea about.

[derivativeofx]

How horrible...! To think things could be getting this bad...

...I hate to ask it of you, but I didn't know this Miss GLaDOS well. Could you tell me a little about her?

[ text ]

[obfuskate]

I'll be perfectly honest with you:

She attempted to mass-murder. She put the school through dangerous, unauthorized 'testing' for what I can gather is her sick amusement. She was rude, abrasive, thoughtless, careless, and hateful.

Despite that, I...




I am... not happy that she was killed.
