From:

blastedass

[Wow. That is some dangerous knowledge that he doesn't want confirmed.]

A vampire kid in high school?

[Time to check around the room for more clues.]

From:

defendure

You say that like it's unbelievable somehow?

[ Izuku stole a pen to add the graduation dates to the list. ]

From:

blastedass

No, I say that like I'm checking our data, cause that's the only fucking "clue" we've got at the moment.

[And pinning a death on a "vampire kid" is not his first choice.]

Besides, the school could use the kid like a fucking mascot, or the pictures were photo shopped.

[Or the kid's name is a clue and thus repeated five times to emphasize it.]

From:

defendure

Well, we need to figure out how to get into the other rooms. Maybe the scene of the crime is in one!

[ How lifelike does he think this will get...? ]

From:

blastedass

[Katsuki's wondering the same.]

See if you can find a pattern in the graduation dates. There's a 6 digit lock on the door.

From:

defendure

Okay!

[ Izuku practically bounces over to said door, considering the numbers. A low murmur starts up from where he's at as he works through the possibilities... ]

From:

blastedass

[For all the years of practice he's had dealing with that murmur, you'd think he'd be able to tune it out. But NOPE! Gritting his teeth he starts inspecting the rest of the room. A few pictures, a ghost kid, books on their shelves, two light switches, and a key. Hm.]

Not a lot to go on.

From:

defendure

That just means we need to locate more clues!

[ At least when he's talking-talking he mumbles less? ]

From:

blastedass

[He's found that out too. Now he's heading back into Izuku's first room to take a look there and see if there's anything he overlooked.]

You didn't find anything inside your books did you?

From:

defendure

Mm, no. But maybe there's a code to the titles in there?

[ He's still considering number combos, but he has a good idea... ]

From:

blastedass

[Katsuki gathers up Izuku's books and takes them to his room. Then comes back to Izuku with all the books balanced in two stacks. Before setting them on the floor and checking through their spines. Spell anything out? Hm...]

I'll see what I can piece together here.

From:

defendure

[ Izuku nods with a half distracted sort of look. The other door might have an alphanumeric lock?

He finally decides to input the code based on where the same student is in each picture. ]

We can do it!

From:

blastedass

[Katsuki starts running through options, going from the first letter of each spine to which letter's most common to the last letter or number of words.]

Less cheering, more working.

[And goes to check on the second door for its type of lock.]

From:

defendure

[ He can multitask being cheerful and working! Izuku's lock comes undone (...on his second combo try) and he beams. ]

Now we're tied for doors!

From:

blastedass

[Katsuki scowls at the door in front of him. Big ass combination lock. Well... not the worst thing, but... hm... he has an idea. Back to the books.]

Gimme a fucking second...

[To break that fucking tie.]

From:

defendure

[ So competitive, Kacchan. Izuku glances into his room, but pauses to wait and see Katsuki's moment of triumph because he figures the other boy wants to gloat a bit. ]

From:

blastedass

[On the good news, Katsuki does indeed land a right combination. Taking the first letters of each title gets a pool of five letters. ("T" is there a lot.) Turning those into numbers via their placement in the alphabet gets a 5 number combo, which when entered into the lock, pops the door open once the final turn lifts the tumbler.

On the bad news, he's too intent on winning to waste time gloating, so pushes into the next room with determined focus.]

Next.

From:

defendure

[ Izuku follows, simply figuring it'll be more fun to explore the rooms together than separately. ]

Good job, Kacchan!

From:

blastedass

[Despite his loner status, Katsuki also thinks it's better to explore together than alone, especially in these puzzle situations.]

No sweat.

From:

defendure

[ It is a date after all...

Looks like they've come out into...an entertaining room, but old fashioned. Lots of seating and still the same spooky lighting and decor. There's a telephone, lots of things to move around... ]

From:

blastedass

[Despite his previous reluctance, at least Katsuki can admit they make a good team now. So he's into this.

Oh look, a grand foyer. He makes a face cause it reminds him of the rare times his mother's dragged him to a social party.

He's going for the telephone.]

Check under the chairs.

From:

defendure

Got it! [ He's going to check under the cushions too.

The telephone will ring before Katsuki gets there...a prerecorded message with more of the story. ]

From:

blastedass

[Does he find any change? Cushions are notorious for pulling things from people's pockets.

Katsuki blinks at the phone, a quiet "eh?" and freeze for a second occurring. But almost immediately chills and picks up the phone.]

Huh...

[More story.]

From:

defendure

[ I should have written down a plot but really I'm just wildly making things up instead, as I sometimes do...

Remember, Katsuki: the employees have to watch so they can give hints if asked and trigger anything important.

Anyway - it's one of the party guests, and if he's careful to catch the names and information he'll be able to put down who arrived in what order at least? ]

From:

blastedass

[Oh decisions decisions. I'm just following along watching, haha.

Fuck off! He's not going to ask for help! He's doggedly determined to do this on his own! Besides, asking for help disqualifies you from getting slotted for a high score.

Katsuki does pay attention to the names and writes them down, then sets the order numerically behind them.]

Got a list of names, what order they arrived, and another set of numbers.
