[Want to chat with Bolton privately? Here is where you do it! Bolton's office hours will be held in conference room B in the library for approximately four hours in the morning several days a week. During that time the blinds will be drawn and that room will be off-limits unless you're there to talk to Bolton, though the other three study rooms will still be available for use.

Pre-investigation, 2/17
Date: 2017-02-21 05:45 am (UTC)He walks the hallway slowly, hesitantly flipping through the security cameras one by one. Cafeteria, clear. Hallway, clear. Library, clear. Art room-
Jamie's heart jumps into his throat when he sees the body. No. No, no, no no no, not again. It's all happening again. His eyes are glued to the screen as he takes in the details of the scene. God, why are there so many knives? Why did it have to be one of the girls? Which one is it? He feels nauseous as a realization creeps up on him.]
C.E.C.E. [His voice sounds weak to his own ears.] What's her name?
Chitanda Eru, she was the Champion of Curiosity. Jamie, your heart and breathing rates have become very erratic all of the sudden. Do you need me to alert Bolton to your condition?
[He doesn't get the chance to answer before he collapses in the hallway, face buried in his hands as heaving, choking sobs rip from his lungs.]
I am assuming waking Bolton is the best possible solution to this problem.

Date: 2017-02-21 02:19 pm (UTC)Jamie's vital signs are erratic and far outside his normal standard deviations. I believe he may be having a panic attack.]
What's wrong? What's going on?
Don't you remember, Bolton? You issued an incentive earlier this week. I believe the Champions are discovering the body as we speak.
[He looks at the cameras on his PIP, swiping through them until he finds the art room and sees the crowd of Champions. He taps the microphone button, but his heart isn't in the announcement.]
Attention, Champions, the Champion Curiosity's body has been discovered. Now there will be a short period for investigation before the trial.
[He clicks it off again, and then finishes shrugging his robe on and runs out into the hallway. Jamie's sobs help lead the way to him, and Bolton's down on his knees next to him before he can think to do anything else, one arm around Jamie's chest and the other holding his partner's head close to his chest, fingers buried comfortingly in Jamie's thick hair, tilting his head down to kiss the crown of his head.]
Jamie, breathe, you're okay. You're okay...

Date: 2017-02-23 05:57 am (UTC)It's happening again. [He presses his back against Bolton's chest, knees tight against his chest as he struggled to get control of his breathing.] It's happening all over again, B.

Date: 2017-02-23 03:51 pm (UTC)It feels strange to not be investigating.
He kisses Jamie's temple when he pushes back against him, tightens his arms protectively.]
No, we're safe. You're safe, Jamie. I'm not going to let anything happen to you.

Date: 2017-02-24 05:41 am (UTC)They're not safe. [He says it so quietly it'd be easy to miss if the hallway weren't dead quiet as it is. Hard to believe there used to be nineteen more people, some of them they called friends, walking these exact halls once upon a time. Jamie finally lifts his head, staring up at his own pitiful reflection in the too shiny chrome ceiling.]
...I had to ask CECE her name, B. It's our fault she's dead and I didn't even remember her name.
