We shall soon discover what has happened here.

*crouching on a rail above the Front Hall, still every inch the corporeal being, gazing down at the chaotic scene below as both ghostly students and non-ghostly students mill around in panic*

*stands up at last, his booming voice cutting through the noise*

I agree, sir. I mean, if this were to be.... that....

...my body would still be in bed, wouldn't it?

Though it is a rather.... curious predicament.........

[livingblade]

Correct.

*quite willing to distract his Ravenclaws with the intellectual aspect of the situation* The proximate cause has, of course, occurred to you.

[k_izumi]

I'm not sure what it is in the least, but unless someone managed to spike only a certain number of dishes with some sort of potion that leads to complete disintigration of the body after digestion.... which I certainly hope does not exist in the first place.....

Such an epidemic simply makes no rational sense.

[livingblade]

..No.

*not going to mention that it does exist, but unless someone at the Ministry has really slipped up, there shouldn't be any in existence outside a small vial in the Department of Mysteries....*

In that, however... the events of this day are not unique.

[shinigamiblonde]

Eh? R-Really?

[livingblade]

Yes.

[shinigamiblonde]

Then... then what's going on? Can you fix it?

[livingblade]

*just looks at her -- he doesn't know*

*changes the subject*

Many people will be frightened today.....

[tenpa_kun]

Thank you for this announcement, Professor. I take it you noticed the lack of bodies as well?

[livingblade]

*nods*

The cause will not remain unknown for long.

[smilingtennis]

Aa, I suspected as much myself, Professor. The lack of bodies means that it cannot be real death.

Do you have any idea about what could be causing this?

[livingblade]

*dryly* Yes, that was a clue.

Not yet.

[spacethief_vala]

So kinda like fake death?

[livingblade]

................*just STARES*

[[XDDDDD!]]

[spacethief_vala]

*mistakes his silence for confusion, so she decides to clarify herself*

I mean, if it were real death, there would be dead bodies. There are no dead bodies, so it must be fake death. Understand?

[livingblade]

What astounding powers of observation.
