@Sugar The adventure began with a bang as a priceless jewel known as the Paradise Diamond was stolen, setting off a global search for the gem. Meanwhile, the four main characters receive the task of finding the diamond from Officer Jenny, and fly out to Alola to start investigating.
As with every mystery book Alyssa had written, a rare and ancient artifact had been stolen. However this story's plot crossed regional borders, which was a nice change of pace.
@Sugar It was also clever how the jewel and the mystery tied into Alolan lore. But first, the heroes had to search the scene of the crime.
The scene of the crime had a vast amount of clues as to what had exactly happened before, during, and after the crime occured. However, given how everything was spread out, it was going to take some time before the crew found what they needed.
@Sugar Students could check materials out for two weeks, with two renewals. Fines were 25 credits a day.
Alyssa hopped up and went over to the librarian's desk. "I would like to check out this book please. Two weeks is the limit, if I read correctly?"
@Sugar "That is correct." the librarian replied. "Fines are 25 credits a day, and you have two renewals per book."
"No problem at all. I'll have it back with in the time period, and a renewal will not be needed, thank you."
@Sugar "All right--just be aware you have the option to renew if you like." the librarian replied as she scanned the book to check it out. "Once you've checked out some books, the card catalog may suggest books you may like.
"Excellent, thank you." Alyssa managed to find her way out of the library and back into the hallway. She started to walk towards what she thought was the east wing of the building.
@Sugar The east wing had another entrance to the living quarters, but it was mainly the entertainment area, should the students not wish to travel anywhere. There were game rooms, study rooms for the students to do homework or read in, music rooms to practice their instruments in, and more.
The rooms were relatively big and at the moment, not much was going on in any of them except one of the music rooms, where a good amount of music was coming from. Alyssa poked her head into the room and looked around for the source of the music.
@Sugar It turned out to be Miracolore jamming together. Their matinee had been a success, so now they were just jamming together to unwind.
Alyssa stepped inside the room unnoticed (for the moment) to get a better listen of what they were playing. The music was a ton more upbeat than what she was used to.
@Sugar Ash and the girls led the session, while Brock waited with his guitar to come in. He came in with an A minor drone as Misty introduced the second tune of the set... (what they play)
Alyssa's hypothesis turned out to be correct, as the upbeat music was completely different from what they usually played. Nevertheless, it was a nice change of pace from the more relaxing tunes.
@Sugar Ash heard Alyssa's applause and smiled. "Hi there! We finished the matinee we planned early, so we thought we'd come in here and jam a bit."
"That's great! I'm really sorry that I couldn't make it; I had to catch up on my reading. I was just walking through the halls of this building to see if there was anything interesting to find."
