It has been 6 hours since Velvet's body was discovered. The teachers closed classes for the day to interrogate students, and some students were planning to have a party to celebrate classes being closed. Ruby thought they were being rude, taking advantage of a fellow classmate dying to have a party. The only clue to the murder was a knife found lodged in the victim's eye (Ruby read it on the internet, as if she could actually look at the body). Ruby lay awake in her bed, her teammates were scattered all over the place, Weiss out in the courtyard practicing sparring, Blake reading in her bed, Yang was 'out' somewhere. Ruby kept thinking about potential suspects. Cardin being the main bully against Velvet made him seem like the most obvious culprit, but he was already interrogated first and there was nothing on him. Doesn't mean he's completely innocent, though. Ruby couldn't imagine it being any of her friends, seeing as how they were all Velvet's friends who supported her when the others bullied her for being a faunus. Ruby decided to talk to Blake, so she walked up to Blake's bed, who was reading in the top bunk, and climbed up the ladder to talk to her. "Hey, Blake, any ideas? On who did it?" Blake looked up from her book at Ruby, "Well, I've been reading a lot of horror books lately. The culprit is usually the one or ones closest to the victim. Someone who knew a dark secret no one else knew, which usually ended up being the boyfriend." Ruby was a little bit surprised Blake knew so much about these things, but continued to listen. "So, let's look at the suspects. Coco was a close friend of Velvet, who many suspected of romance between the two. But seeing her reaction to the crime scene, I doubt she had any hand in this. In fact, I doubt any of the members of Velvet's team had anything to do with this. So, who do we have?" Ruby shrugged, now curious. "Our team, team JNPR, and Cinder's team. We were the only teams not out on a mission by the time Velvet was killed, so all of us are technically suspects." Ruby's face turned pale, and she looked at the ground. She couldn't imagine any of them doing something like this. An announcement could then be heard over the loudspeakers, "Ruby Rose, please report to Ozpin's office immediately." Ruby walked out the door to get to the office, looking back to Blake, who had returned to her book. Ruby then took a breath, and exited the dorm room. It was her turn for interrogation.
Ruby was met at first with silence from everyone in the room. There was Ozpin, of course, and General Ironwood and Glynda who all looked at Ruby. Ozpin finally spoke. "Ruby Rose." Ruby turned to face Ozpin. "Honestly, I know it isn't you, but we have to seem fair to everyone else. Also, we have to ask you about something." Ruby nodded silently as ozpin spoke. "We found this at the crime scene." Ironwood placed a dagger on ozpin's desk. It looked like an average hunting dagger, used to kill weak grimm and to skin other animals. Ozpin continued, "This is what killed Velvet. It has a rather unique property that we've never seen before. It has the ability to injure humans, bypassing their aura entirely." Ruby's eyes widened. A weapon that can bypass auras? That seemed impossible. "Do you know anyone who would have had access to such technology?" Ruby thought for a moment. Weiss was from a rich family, with friends in high places. She could have found something like this, but...Ruby couldn't bring herself to say anything about her. But there didn't seem to be anyone else with this kind of power. Ruby simply said, "I don't know. Sorry." Ozpin sighed, and said, "Very well. You may return to your dorm." Ruby stood up and walked out of the door. "Oh, and Ms. Rose?" Ruby turned around for a moment, "Please be careful. We don't know if the killer will return…" Ruby nodded, and closed the door to the office behind her.
