"Okay, now he pissed me off. Who did it?"

The metal tube bopped Ige right in the forehead, causing another startling injury.
"Y-You stupid bear!" Ige yelped, a streak of blood trickling down his face. "You don't compare to Sissus! Come back here and earn your keep!"

"Bully for you, Monokuma..." Calvin deadpanned as he looks to the injured assistant, concerned for his well-being. "Looks like we have another wound to tends to..."
"Ige, yer might want to quit being on the shoot." The cowboy commented as he pulls the hat brim over his eyes.

“Aw! Poor Ige!” Xhuli says, bathing him in more wound-cleaning liquid. She leaves and returns shortly (she must be pretty fast on her heels) with another vibrant bandage for the assistant.
She looks at Nico, seeing how frustrated he is, “Okay, I’m still committed to figuring this out,” she tries to be reassuring but it’s clear that she hasn’t found anything interesting in the crime yet.

"Ugh...thanks, Xhuli," Ige sighs, calming down a bit. The assistant had seemed to warm up to the Pharaoh, which in itself was a surprise.

Xhuli winks at Ige, a slightly unsettling habit to be sure, but it is reassuring in practice.
“Okay so does anyone have any alibis? Anybody watching any videos or something? Maybe if you guys answer suspiciously we can find someone who is lying…” she scans from Korrigan to Calvin to Hawk.
“What do you say, cowboy?”

"I don't want to, but maybe we should take a break and think things over? We don't really seem to be making much progress..."

Calvin nods in agreement that they should take a break and think things over.

"H-Hold on a sec! What about the killer? If we all just stay together here at all times, no one can kill! It's infallible!"

Xhuli whispers frustratedly to herself, it seems that she can't solve anything more after grilling the suspects. "Okayyy, I guess we can stop, sorry Nico," she gives her friend a pat on the back. She thinks to herself, then clears her throat and speaks in a commanding voice, "Hey. This isn't like an official event or anything, but let's swim tonight, okay? Like everyone together. You can bring a book, but the point is that we can feel safer together. So if you're not there for yourself, maybe show up for a friend..." She winks, "7:00 PM, I'll be waiting..." --- [ Pool Theme] Xhuli lays in a deck chair by the pool, wrapped in a towel. She's set up tables for people and set out extra chairs. She's been sure to set the pool a little warm. Her own drink sits on a table next to her, blue and enticing. [feel free to still post in the old scene if you need to]

Ige had followed Xhuli to the pool. He claimed it was in a protective manner, but it was clear he just wanted to be paired up with someone he trusted to avoid a potential death sentence.
"I-I'm only here for safety in numbers!" Ige claimed, tapping his foot nervously. He wore some basic swim trunks but still wore a top, unsure if he was even going to participate at all.

“Of course Ige! You deserve the highest security detail of anyone!” Xhuli laughs. “I guess you’ll have to settle for me, but I’m vigilant!”
She looks at him, “I like your swim trunks! Very tasteful, considering you look like the type of guy who would go tighter if he could. I appreciate the sacrifice. I bet with that lanky body you’re a good diver!”

"I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about," Ige huffed, a confused look on his face. "I'm not that bold..."

Nico joins the others at the pool wearing a basic green pair of swim trunks and a white t-shirt and carrying a towel under his arm. For once he wasn't wearing a sweatshirt or jacket of some sort, revealing the prosthetic on his right arm went up to his elbow.
"Who says we can't have fun while staying safe?" He smiles.

“Hehe, just teasing,” Xhuli says to the assistant. “You seem like a pretty modest guy. Don’t really talk yourself up too much.
She hoots as Nico walks into the room, “Wow, Nico! Nice arms! Cute green!”
“Right Nico, let’s be safe and have funnn! Anyone have lifeguard experience? Also anyone here know how to swim?”

“It was decided pretty early for me that I wasn’t the athletic type,” the girl shrugs and giggles. “I did it once or twice but I was hoping someone here would be able to help me!”

"Your new body made you pretty athletic, right? Maybe you already know how to swim, but just aren't used to it yet!"

"Oh! Um, thanks!" Nico replied. "I'm not used to receiving compliments on it..." He seems to smile a little brighter.
"Wait, you don't know how to swim?" He asks.

“Yeah I don’t really know anything,” Xhuli sighs.
“I guess my body will help with all these things I got, but that’s exactly why I need a good teacher! All this talent is wasted on me!”
Xhuli kicks her legs up, “Say… what do you think the others are doing? Maybe I should have brought rocks for Hella!”
“Hopefully someone brings some snacks. I didn’t want to scare anyone with my food.”

"Maybe they'll show up later?" Nico suggests, as he takes a seat and sets down his towel.
"Hopefully they're not scared to come..."

“Ugh, I worked so hard making… changes to my school swimsuit and they’re not even showing up?” The pharaoh groans and falls over in frustration.
“No offense to you two, but now I feel like I brought a bikini on a family trip,” she laughs. “Not that I set this all up to wear my swimsuit or anything,” she makes a purposefully suspicious grin.
“Thanks for coming, either way.”

"Thanks for coming up with the idea!"

“Of course!” She stands up.
“Well, I’m going to do a couple last minute things for everyone,” she laughs to herself.
She apparently brought a backpack and markers. She draws on each one as fast as possible making posters:
“Okay I’m going to try and get them here with these things!” She shows the advertisements to the others. “I’m advertising that we’re playing horseshoes for Calvin, doing a best rock competition for Hella, investigating a weird noise in the sauna for Faye…”
“Unfortunately I don’t have ideas for everyone, but the adults should be here either way, and then Felix hopefully has some loyalty to us. The only sad part is that I don’t have an idea for Yves or Mikoto. Yves and I haven’t patched things up yet…” She sighs deeply.
“Oh well. Have I made this too complicated?”

"You're really going all out with this, huh? I guess I should be used to this by now!" He laughs again.
"Someone else will have to pass through eventually! Maybe we can convince them to join us if they do?"

Again, almost like it was a moment of circumstance, a hatch in the ceiling opened, spitting out a vague human shape that tumbled down before tucking and rolling, popping back up to their feet...
And immediately bending over, hand pressed to the small of their back.
"... Ow," Hawk grumbled, in a monochrome onepiece lifeguard outfit. "Damnable bear. Stuffed me in this, cackling madly the entire time, and then dragged me..."
He glared suspiciously around, then sighed.
"So that's why. Go figure. Couldn't be assed to explain anything, but dragged me here amyway. I am so over this gig..."

"...W-We don't need everyone here, do we?" Ige said, reluctant to bring others here. "Just, uh...you know, swimming with a killer is kind of like swimming with a shark, isn't it? Why don't we just have a spa day? I know how to run a killer spa day."
He, of course, said this, not realizing Hawk had just came in.

Xhuli laughs hard at Nico’s words. “Geez, I was hoping to put begging behind me when I got my new body! But… I don’t care, I’ll do whatever they want. I just need it. I need my perfect school life.”
“Thanks for the feedback, Secretary! I’ll put up the posters, grab some supplies, and maybe a real cover-up.”
“Be sure not to kill each other!”
Xhuli puts on her heels and leaves for almost fifteen minutes, putting up posters and stuff. She returns with a bag of sand and gravel, as well as some horseshoe-looking pieces of metal. She has her old sweater that’s been cut into flaps draped over her.
She sees Hawk drop in and cheers, “Awesome outfit! Then you’ll be rescuing us if we start to sink?”
She also turns to Ige, “They say swimming with sharks is fun…”
“Oh and I grabbed cucumbers on the way here, just in case.”

A spark flashed in Hawk's eyes as he held up a finger to those present, and he winked at them as he snuck up behind Ige, the only sound being the padding of his feet on the tiles, breathing incredibly quietly as he approached...
And quickly puffed on the back of Ige's ear!
